One of Them Says 1t Is Because They

A group OF yong women sat around a
dainty tea table discussing dress and
their waters almost in the same breath.

Drowned maid who had just returned
from summer resort where there were
twenty-six girls to three men. "Al-
though my summer costumes were per-
fectly lovely, did not thrill over them

the most becoming frock when there
were no men to be overpowered by the
effect. l argue that we dress to please
the men, therefore / state in all candor
that don't care button what sort Of

That's all very true" argued number
one, but the influence that men exer-
else upon women's dress is certainly
underestimated The taste Of the hus-
band, the taste of the lover, of the in
innate friend, and even of the brother,
has always to be deferred and sub
mitted to, and in each and every case
is acknowledged to be superior to that
possessed by his fair subject. The Sc
cret OF this is, perhaps, in measure,
due to the fact that the masculine eye
sees and judges from the effect pro-

ingly, whereas the feminine mind is
often distracted by the choice OF color
material, trimming and style offered
and when and where natural good
taste does exist 1t is frequently domin-
ated by the will Of another actuated

ment is for the moment oyerDowered
Again, the desire to confine expense
within a certain limit is another fer
tile source OF sacrifice on tle altar Of
good taste. Still, allowing all this ant
more, the fact remains incontrovcrtibl'
