Declaring that the reorganization OF

WOMEN URGED 10 BE SENSIBLE
And Show Some Independence Of Fash
ionable Fads.

Mrs. John A. Logan recently made a
forceful arraienment Of the prevailing
craze for dress. She catalogues the va
rious fads as the 'bunco games" OF
manufacturers and modistes; she says
that the fashionable woman meekly
dresses herself like "a maniac or an
idiot" at the orders of her commercial
exploiters; that current modish dresses
are an outrage on decency," and so
on.
Replying. a New York apologist for
the dress insanity contends that the
freakish dressing tendencies Of the cur
rent woman are merely indications Of
the rapid evolution wt.ich the sex is just
now undergoing. progress" he or shel
says, goes by throbs and pulses. For
long periods little gain viii be appar
ent; then sudden advance begins, and
great forward step is made within a
few years It is during these epochs
Of rapid advance that all sorts of Cd
dities appear. to be tried and promptly
thrown aside The process occurs over
and over again until the right thing or
combination of things is finally attained
and a new period Of quieseence sets in"
Viewed from the sane balance, all this
is tommyrot The apologist may note
the fact that some English woman have
started 4 movement for the formation
of society To combat the Increasing
vanity Of clothing. Among the PROPOSE
tiOns which the society is expected to
support are the following: That the cost
OF clothes should be limited TO a def
mite percentage Of income; that n good
and beautiful fashion be retained as
long as possible; that all innovations
that distort the figure be taboode; that
every costume should have pocket
that gowns should be made so women
can button them themselves; that wom-
en- shall take pride in being seen often
in the same costume as distinct from
the vulgarity that seeks frequent
change; that costumes should be Judged
not by cost but BY beauty of form, col
oring and general appropriateness; that
simplicity slOuld be the highest merit,
and that it be deemed an offense to look
like a fashion plate.
The British women have undertaken a
big Job but they may succeed. They
wouldn't have much difficulty if those
who are abundantly able to dress ex-
pensively and indulge in all sorts Of
whims would make a fad 81 simplicity
