too MANY girls wear downtown. And II is
the very girls that wear these things tnat
get the most invitations from young men
to the theatre and other good tmes-yes'
and the most marriage proposals.
These low-necked waists so many girls
are wearing about the streets and In offices
now" said Miss Reilly, ARE Just an effort
to attract mems notice The Western Union
did just right. I'm sorry the order was
necessary-sorry any girls could show the
bad taste and lack OF discretion TO make
such an order necessary. II is queer, the
way girls think they do they like
bout the upper part OF their dress. They
wouldn't think II strange II girl wore
trousers in an office and her employers OBJ
jected-I mean they wouldn't think the OBJ
lection strange; they would think her wear
ing trousers strange. But they go about in
peek-a boo waists cut down in a way that
is to say the least common and vulgar. and
can't see why ANYBODY should criticise.
Mr.. Beadle. of the Mems League for
Woman Suffrage, said he was heartily glad
that one firm at least was, trying to put
stop to the ballroom style OF dress in bust
ness Offices"
But Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch. head
Of the Womens Political Union, declined 70
lend her voice to the chorus Of approval OF

IT'S Just a dog-in-the-manger business,
she observed Those men are jealous be-
cause they have to be done up In coats and
high collars and things while the girls are
so comfortable in their low-necked waists
so they want the girls to be uncomfortable,
too"
II can't he said that the 125 girls a the
Western Unions Broadway Building looked
much as II they meant 10 obey the order
Yesterday. Most Of them we're In not very
high collared waists and when asked II
they meant 10 don the other kind, they
lust smiled, adding We haven't money
