MR DEBs ought to be accepted as an authority when he says strikes are fail ures. He knows more now than he did a month ago. It would be well for thousands of workmen if he had learned what he now has in his mind a couple of months ago, before that sym pathetic strike was ordered.

THE STUDY OF DRESS
Az Individual Art 10 Which Careful
Attention Should Be Given.
THIS SEASONS DEBUTANTES.
4 Large Number of Charming and Attrac.
1.-Two Young Girls to Enter Society
Wedding and Personal Notes.

The artistic fashions OF the last two
years have served at least one good pur-
pose. and that is TO give women some
inkling OF the possibilities OF art In
dress. The claim made by dressmakers
and m;llners who have achieved world
wide fame, IS that they design costumes
adapted in the smallest and most in
significant details to the requirements
OF each individual. 1t is related OF some
OF them that they will brook no inter-
ference with their theories, nor will they
modify colors or outlines TO conform 10
personal taste or pr judce.
Such claim, IL well supported, in
wolves the possession OF genius. Never
theless IN attempt should be made by
all women to elevate dressmakng to a
point in Il line with the achievements Of
such artists. The suggestion is the pre-
sentation OF a new field for women's In
terest and employment.
There IS no reason why such a study
should not become a popular source OF
interest 10 many and profit TO those
who will first learn what is required.
and who possess the faculty Of impart-
inE knowledge. In all the large cities
may be found art students. who. after
months. perhaps years, OF devotion to
their chosen profession, must admit that
thcy stand but little chance Of fame
and fortune The same, in smaller mea-
sure. applies to smaller places. Why
should not some OF them undertake sDc-
cial designing of dress apart from
making IL?
