Stylish, Sensible, and Silly

American women are the best dressed
and the prettiest women in the world. bu;
they are perfect geese in one respect.
They know how TO dress prettiIy. but
they do not know how to dress sensibly
during the cold weather. says the Phra-
delphia Bulletin
You viii see q woman beautifully
SoWned. wearing an expensive fur coat.
and when she raises her skirt 10 cross
the street she displays the thinuest of
silk stockings and low shoes,
That is to say. the shoes are low. but
the heels are high
Her nose may be red. but she does not
seem 10 realize that IL IS owing 10 her
low shoes and thin stockings.
Girls who earn their own living VIII
spend half their salary on a hat and wear
a coat not half warm enough. In nine
cases out Of ten, comfort IS sacrificed 10
style.
If YOU dress 10 please men. I can tell
you one thing. and that is that men viii
notice your face before your hat. ard IF
you look pinched and blue, ali the fine
feathers in the millinery shops won't win
a man ) admiration
Many OF you sit in close. overbeatod
officers all day and then you 90 ont into
the raw wind not half warmly enough
dressed The air is damp and penetrst-
ing. and you should wear rlnde-fsnreis
from the first Of December until the end
OF March.
And do wear sensible boots. girls. Don't
go lettering about like silly geese on high
heels and thin sOles. Low shoes are not
only foolish at this time OF year they
are also bad style
The secret OF dressing well is dressing
appropriately.
For the last few years women have
@-orn elbow sleeves even in the ienth Of
winter. Now long sleeves have come in
again. and one man said to me the other
DAY. Thank goodness women are wear
ing long sleeves. I am sick or the sight
Of chapped, red arms and rough elbows.
Il Is not wise 10 wrap your neck too
warmly. but on the other hand. II is
utterly foolish to wesr a thin waist with
no covering but muslin over the throat
and chest
To catch bad cold at this time OF year
is to run the risk Of pneumonia and
consumption.
II is better to be healthy than stylish
t-icle y hV iedSon why You
should not be both II you exercise a
little common sense.
Men never sacrifice health 70 fashion.
Why cannot We be just as wise as they?
When you see a woman wearing low
shoes ard silk stockings don't feel that
you want TO initiate her.
Remember that she is a foolish. brain

above following her lead
Dress simply. sensi0ly, and seasonably.

FROM WOMARS
POINT OF VIEW.

7 wonder who launders those delicate
waists. said a woman who watched two
working girls making a selection from
a pile Of washable blouses during the
noon hour. They were working girls
without doubt. for they confessed to the
small amount Of time at their disposal
when they asked Tor immediate attention
from the saleswoman-
The purchase Of the waists meant the
expenditure Of much time and labor on
the part Of somebody in the family or a
heavy laundry bill. and since wages do
not permit wild extravagances. il is safe
to say that some poor mother or elder
sister viii have an important addition 70
her burden
OF course. girls who go out into the
business world 10 make a living must be
excused from much home labor. But
they are not excused from thoughtful
ness. and if the laundry work is a part
or the work done by either mother or
sister, working girls should have the
thought and wisdom to wear plain cloth
ing. While waists and delicate light
dresses are pretty and generally becom-
ing. but they should not mean weary
backs and aching bones for Overworked
women
Young women are not always selfish
when they impose burdens upon uncom-
shoulders They do not realize
the situation. so there is some blame TO
be laid 70 the doors Of unduly meek
workers. II they took the stand made
BY a mother OF my acquaintance. the
difficulties would be easily swept aside.
Her son, much petted and humorsd. as
only sons often are, wanted 20 marry and

shoulder nestled against her. bring the

wife who. having raised two girls 70 a

FINN Style
The question often arises among WON
en- who work, What shall 1 wear during

by daily tasks that in the Office or shop
IS about the only place they have to
wear their clothes. and with all feminine
love OF fnery il is often difficult TO ex-

Earl Bullock, aged II years, and
Willie Mckay, aged 15 years, robbed
a bank at Eudora, Kan, last Friday.
with the result that Bullock is dead
with a self-inflicted wound and Nc
Kay Is in Jail. 1t appears that Bull
lock had held up this bank previous
ly on October IL last, killed police
man and gotten away with something
less than $1,000. He went down to
Jacksonville, Fla, put up at good
hotel, lived high, had what he
thought was a good time, formed an
acquaintance with Mckay, and per-
suaded him to go back to Eudora and
make another haul. The two, armed
with two revolvers each, entered the
bank at about closing time. Bullock
went after the cashier, while Mckay
stood guard Fred Steen, cashier OF
another bank, was present, although
he offered no resistance, Bullock shot
him in the jaw. Bullock then took
about $500, the days clearings, away
from Cashier Wilson, and the two
young thives ran for it. The alarm
was given at once, and Mckay weak
ening, stopped. Bullock took Nc
Kay's revolver and continued to run
for 1t, followed by a crowd Of citi-
zens. Shots were exchanged be-
tween Bullock and pursuers, and fin
ally, with his last cartridge, Bullock
shot himself in the head. Mckay
told all about how he had become
mixed up in the affair.

Respect For Lsw.-One great ten
dency in the south that we need 10
guard against is the tendency to take
the law into our own hands. NO
lynching nor any other form of mob
violence is ever justifiable. You may
hear some sort Of excuse for 1t, but
YOU may always be sure that there
are stronger reasons against 1t than
for 1t.
We work through the day to lay
up some sort Of property for the fu-
ture, and at night We lie down In
peace to sleep, and only because we
know in both cases that law In
America is usually strong enough 10
protect both our lives and the prop
erty we try to accumulate.
Remember. then. that every time
YOU tolerate any form Of mob vio-
lence or lawlessness, you weaken
that respect for law on which all
public peace and security may rest
Lynching, night-riding, white
capping-all these things let down
the gap for reckless men to kill and
plunder, and no southern farm boy
should ever countenance them.-Raleigh
