been well said that "a beautiful wo-

not only is it the privilege but the
duty of the women who can afford

made of the last Biennial one of the
greatest gatherings of women the
world has ever known. But the real
point at issue, the real criticism CEN
ters around the decollete gowns. Their
absence at public business meetings
at the Biennial would have obviated
all criticism. Now whether the great
mass of cub women shall be con-
vinced that the decollete gown is
suitable for public business meetings
or whether the smaller number of
club women shall consider il in better
taste to reserve them for more private
or strictly social gatherings remains
for the future to determine. What
ever the conclusion, be assured there
will be no unk;ndly or caustic criti-
cism and the adaptabilitv of the
American woman to the decision of
the majority is worthy of the highest
praise. but while il is in this condi-
ton of plasma let us have full and
free discussion of the real point at is
sue. Let us admit that the decollete
gown has its place in the social world.
We must on the other hand contend
that there are places where it would
not be in good taste, viz; a lady who
was giving a small dinner party had
in her employ a new servant. After
all preparations were completed she
said, now go to your room and pre-
pare to serve the table, put on some
sweet, pretty frock and arrange your
lair smoothly and simply" The the
