Text Appearing After Image: WOMAN CONDUCTOR AT VALPARAISO This view was taken almost ten years ago, it isstated at the Pan-American Union in Washington, withthe additional remark that the picture holds good forto-day, even to the fact, it is declared, that the womenconductors go about their work in voluminous skirtsrather than the shorter ones used by the women con-ductors in the United States, although, as womensfashions in Valparaiso change as frequently as theydo in other communities, there is a possibility that theskirts worn by the conductors in Chile now are notquite so voluminous as those shown in the picture.
