CLOTHES AND THEIR DEFECTS
Contributed Coumbia)

The purpose of the human skin Is 10
protect the underlying parts, to act as
an organ of sensation and to throw OH
heat and moisture, thus regulating the
temperature and fluid contents of the
body. The temperature at which the
skin best performs this latter duty is in
the neighborhood of So. In tropical
regions this temperature is maintained
without the need OF clothing: so our abo-
riginal ancestors of the tropical abodes
wore no clothes.
Today many inhabitants Of the tropics
wear no clothes. and those who dc wear
them for other purposes than warmth
When humanity began to migrate from
the tropics northward and southwark 1t
encountered temperatures which made 1t
impossible to maintain the necessary
warmth of the skin under primitive con-
ditions, so it began to initiate the ami
mails it found there. and clothed it
self in the skins of beasts.
Clothing has other functions beside the
maintenance of warmth-it protects from
the rays of the sun, from the stress OF
bad weather. from wounding by briars
and other vegetation. and, in the case OF
shoes. from rough and stony ground.
Later, as men began to emerge from the
savage state, clothing began to have the
function of contributing to decency and
beauty. We must not forget. however.
that the original purpose of clothing is
the maintenance of the proper tempera-
ture and moisture of the SKIN. so that 1t
may perform its vital functions to the
best advantage. Other uses are of Sec
Ondary Importance. and a rational ctviiiza-
ton would not permit more important

This is precisely what happens when

This keeps the back muscles i'm a state

backache besides neuralgias, and even
permanent deformity at this point In
addition, ii throws a disproportionate
amount of the body weight down on the
front part of the foot. wedging it farther

Another fault of high heels is that they
are made that they do not set under
the heel. but farther forward, pressing
on a different part of the sole from that

this weight. Again, these heels are taper

Independent of Temperature.

Independent or Temperature.
When the body is covered with clothing
the fabric prevents to a greater or less
degree the warmth and moisture general
ed by the body from being thrown of
into the surrounding air. There is re-
tanned between the skin and outer layer
of clothing a jacket of warm air of the
proper temperature for the skin to act
properly. Thus the human being may
be said to carry around with him, by
means of clothing. small section Of his
native tropical climate, and is independ-
ent Of the temperature OF the air where
he is.
Different fabrics have different capaci-
ties for retaining heat and moisture; for
example, wool retains most heat, and
permits most readily the passage of mois-
ture. 1t is therefore most suitable for
colder weather. Cotton, on the other
hand, holds moisture and permits the
escape of heat. Other fabrics possess
these two qualities in varying degrees,
and this fact controls their usefulness
as clothing under varying conditions. The
with any fabric the more closely woven
it is.
The above is the primary object of
clothing, and should have first considera-
ton by every one. Other functions vary
in Importance according to the occupa-
ton of the individual Decorative and
esthetic effects are relatively of more
Importance to woman, because it is nee
essary that she be personally attractive.
Protective effects are of less Importance

will say that their shoes are perfectly

astonishing how the young animal

Later in life the penalty Is paid: when
the man has to stand on his feet all
day, or when the woman approaches
middle age: that time when the joints
begin to lose their spring and the
muscles their tone; when she begins to
take on weight. and the feet that were
able to support the willowy figure of
youth give way under the avoirdupois

What Constitutes Beautyp

! Perhaps there is no more difficult thing
| than to decide what constitutes beauty.
1t is certainly an error to confuse it with
| fashion Fashion is ever changing, and
things beautiful by this standard ten
years years ago are today hdeouS and
outlandish. If these were beautiful then
they could not be ugly now. Critics OF
art have commented for years on the
difficulty of this question. Most of them
suggest symmetry and proportion as the
essential qualities.
Perhaps Rodin the great French sculp-
tor, found the kernel of the matter when
he asserted that the degree Of beauty Of
any object is in direct proportion to the
perfection with which it accomplshes the
purpose for which it is designed. We
do not undertake to settle this question,
but deny that fashion is any guide in the
matter, and as fashion is responsible for
most of the injurious defects in clothing
that we are about to describe, We must
accuse her of being in the main RESPONSE
BILE for most of the suffering arising
from these defects.
| 1t will not be possible in paper of
this length to describe all the defects
| of our modern attire, SO we shall limit
ourselves to the most important Be-
! ginning at the bottom. we find that
shoes. especially those worn by wom-
| EN-, are defective. Great loss of
| efficiency and suffering arise from these
defects
The best material yet discovered. from
the standpoint of usefulness and
economy, is leather. Leather wears
well, protects satisfactorily from or
binary sources of injury, keeps out
moisture tolerably we'll and keeps in
heat. 1t has the disadvantage of re-
tanning too much moisture and pre-
venting evaporation. This dampens the
| stocking and makes it impossible to
maintain the proper temperature of
the skin. causing the cold. clammy feet
from which so many people suffer.
Ihis difficulty can be partly overcome

Saxon records come down to the year

twenty-one generations until Egbert was
crowned as the first real English mon

Even twenty-five generations ago the
