Ever see 100 thoroughly indignant young
women?
If you wish to, go down to South Omaha
TO the offices of the Cudahy Packing COM
pany and talk to amy of the 100 girls who
work there. The Indignation will not be
loudly expressed; rather it will be sug-
gested by repression, with llDs tightly
pressed together lest flood of angry. words
break over the barrier of the teeth But
such an indignation never was before.
All because Mr.. John Forbes general
office manager for the Cudahy company.
has posted a set of rules for the dress of
girl employees during the summer months
Mr.. Forbes lays ban and interdict upon
these articles and modes OF apparel:
Transparent gowns.
Peek-a-boo waists.
Open work hosiery.
Flashy styles of hair dressing.
Unnecessary Jewelry.
Loud colored dresses-"white is pre-
ferred."
Now don't think for a minute that the
100 are angry because they may not wear
diaphanous gowns or screen-door stockings
with clocks on 'em. No, indeed! Mol Not
for a minute!
They are angry because of the suggestion
IN ehe oruer thaI some one might thlhk
they would dress so indecorousy.
What is a flashy style of hair dressing?"

II never saw any girl boldly dressed down
