FASHION IS WRONG
Mrs. Robert Burdette Scores
0verdressing.
Young Woman Should Choose style
Of Dress Best Suited to Her Fig
ure and Coiorlno-Men Also
Come In for Advice.

Chicago.-A word picture Of the
model young woman-a fashion dis
daining persons ans store" hair and
French heels-was drawn for the
benefit OF Lake Forest university CO
eds by Mrs. Robert Burdette. ex-
ponent Of the revised simple lfe."
While the masculine members Of
student body and faculty smiled
broadly and the inundated votaries Of
fashion flushed q deep. deep red, Mrs.
Burdette criticized the girls who buy
their appearance ready made-com-
plexion, couture and ngure-in the
marts Of trade.
When she had finished her remarks
concerning the habits Of women Mrs
sBurdette availed herself of the oppor-
tunity to aim a shaft at the male
members of the faculty. most OF
whom are bachelors. She said man
never can be at his best without q
Ehelpmate.
"Girls and women should forget all
about fashion," she said. What suits
4one will not be at all becoming to
another, and therefore the basic prin-
ciple Of fashion is wrong. A young
woman should choose the style OF
dress best adapted to her figure ana
coloring, and have each succeeding
dress made in the same way by the
same dressmaker.
Powder and French heels are
abominable, and woman should make
use of neither. Colleges should have
q special course on the art Of dress
ding, and require each girl student to
attend. They should be taught not to
paint or to wear those ridiculous high
heels, and should take private les
sons, If necessary, in choosing their
clothing.
Girls vie with each other In fol-
lowing fashions blindly for two rea-
sons. They wish to excite the 1eal-
ousy Of others of their sex and they
want to attract men.
Live simply. Do less dancing and
theatergoing. One can't live a purely
social life and amount to anything.
i advise you, girls, to get married as
soon as you cen. Man or woman can
not do the best work without a help
mate"
Several members of the faculty who
evidently had been enjoying the dis
course and the discontinue Of the CO
eds bit their lips at this point. The
smiles of the male undergraduate.
Beau Brummels of the campus, wild
ened ~perceptibly, but were efaced
when Mrs. Burdette calmly resumed.
Men as well as women dress too
extravagantly. l see before me many
who NIGH be classified as college
dudes College boys will not be so
e~xtravagant in matters of dress when
they begin to pay for their own
clothes. They will find then that silk
woven neckties, spats and other ex-
pensive accessories of the wardrobe
are not so necessary as they now
SEEM"
Mrs. Burdette's address created a
stir such as the university seldom
has experienced. and which probably
will be intensified at chapel, for Rev.
Robert Burdette, husband of Mrs.
Burdette, In whose church in Pasa-
dena, Cal, the revised simple life
was born, is on the program to deliver
more advice"
