Then there is another plea for wom-

clothes. They keep endless industries
alive by what appear to many people
to be extravaganza, and the only thing
with which to reproach them is that
they so often accept hideous fashions
from the dressmakers when their
sense of the fitness of things should
make them refuse to look at anything
which does not express beauty and
usefulness combined
