DAUGHTER OF WIN. MORRIS
SAYS WE DON'T KNOW
HOW
TO DRESS
TO EAT
TO LIVE

"Women eat, dress, lace, spend
and primp too much" says Miss
May Morris Of England, to Ameri-
can women. And Miss Morris real
ly is in a position to say, because
she is an absolute authority on the
estheticism of dress, just as was
her father, the great VIM. Morris,
who created the widespread crafts
man movement before his death in
1896.
In the six weeks I've been in this
country, | have discovered that the
women here seem to think that to
be well dressed means to have an
hOurglass figure and to wear any
sort of dress that happens to be in
style, without regard to the per-
son inside the dress. Simplicity
should be the keynote of womcns
everyday apparel. She should only
blossom out in marvellous creations
at functions.
Even the girls who work here
are busy copying the women in car
riages. If they only knew it, they
would look far better in a simple
gown fashioned themselves or by a
dressmaker under their direct SUI
pervision' than in any other kind.
A woman looks utterly foolish walk
ing in dress intended for the
drawing room.

tightly. They think it makes
them more beautiful. 1t does not

shone brightly. All this time Lion
Heart had found naught to eat
save blueberries and a few nuts,
and he always was looking about in
hopes of finding house.
AS he looked across the field he
saw that it was not field of
meadow grass, but like a flower
garden filled with blooming pop
pies, and he saw in the center of
the field a beautiful castle.
Straightway he started to go to
the castle, but as he stepped into
the field bluejay in a nearby tree

Hastily Lion Heart drew back a

ing the minstrel sing of the beau
tiful Princess Violet, over whom a
wicked witch had cast spell. And
the minstrel had said to him,
Thus the beautiful girl must slum-
Der till brave knight shall force
his way through the field and plant
a kiss on the brow of the princess. >"
So Lion Heart grasped his faith
full sword in his hand and resolved
to fight his way to the castle. No
sooner did he enter the field than
the peoples began to make him feel
sleepy. But he was determined he
would not sleep. He persevered
till at last he was almost to the
castle door. when the peoples in
front of him suddenly sprang up
into a thicket of briars and bram-
bles. These his good sword cut
down, and then he entered the cas-
tie. All about him We're the SER

Hastily he went to the princess
room, and, bending over, kissed her
forehead 81
Immediately she awakened, as
did her household, and the poppy
