nent tradesman several times without
success. At last the merchant caved in
and said

condition that you don't come into my

The offer was promptly accepted.
Next morning the unabashed collector
was on the scene again. He knocked

ing of this?" demanded the merchant.
Didn't I give you a subscription yes

and here l am. If you would like to

A Matter of Common Sense
BY Beatrice Eatt1ax

TIME pendulum of fashion has
swung so far toward what the
women like to call The Artistic"
that it sometimes appears 1t will never
again swing back to Common Sense.
If a woman can afford to stay in bed
When paying the penalty for appearing
.in pumps and silk hose in stormy
weather, that is a matter that concerns
only her. She is the woman who could
stay in bed for long, long time before
the world will really miss her.
But it is the woman who is needed !;
who is useful who has a work to do.
and does 1t, who can not be too harshly
condemned for risking her life and her
usefulness by appearing on the streets
IN December in attire that is suggestive
Of June.
She is one Of the thousands who have
clasped hands around the pendulum of
fashion and are swinging on it far. far.
away from everything that is sane and
sensible.
She is one OF the vast army of women
who disregard comfort in winter, be-
cause comfort in winter carries with it
a suggestion of clumsiness.
The foot in high shoe with thick sole
doesn't look as dainty as one in silk
hose and pumps. She clings to her silk
hose and pumps when every draft of
cold air booms its warning of rheuma-
tism, tuberculosis, pneumonia and
death.
a throat that is covered affords no
opportunity for the display of what so
many foolish women regard as one Of
the greatest of their physical charms.
So she bares her neck to every throat
disease the cold blasts from the north
may carry.

She looks ahead to the vast inroads
disease and death are making among
the ranks of working women. She is in
the springtime of her folly, and refuses
to reckon with the harvest time of
women who are older and who are pay
ing the penalty.
AS l said in the beginning, IL a WON

But if she belongs to that glorious

either in home or in business life. she
owes 1t to herself, to her family, to her
employers, to the ultimate good she
was put on earth to attain, to be sens,-
Die, and to dress sensiby.
No woman with a mission can ac-
complish that mission if she sets forth

silk hose and pump clad feet.
She must be well and strong. She
must have a body removed from pain:
a mind free from apprehension Of sick

And these are impossible unless She

he was not of much account.

Miss Lawton.

Dress to Your Part.

you will always find that the wom-
an who lacks variety of thought and
interest shows an equal paucity of ideas
in her clothes. She may have plenty
Of money, but she affects certain rather
severe styles, and drab or dull coors
or else she is the shirtwaist woman

fluffy, feminine tea gowns or light coll
ored frocks in her spare hours at home,

Whatever your part in life is, you

was full of self-confidence and an i'm
mediate desire to take that position in
the world which his clothes suggested
belonged to him.
Have you ever studied out the moral
influences of down trodden heels? A
pair of heels uodden over at one side,
not only throw Il woman's walk out Of
gear, they do somewhat the same thing
to her mental balance. Soiled shoes
and gloves have an immediate effect on
ones manners and way of thinking.
Not to be we'll dressed makes one
self-conscious, to say the least, and
when you are seif-conscious you are
never expressing the best that is in you.
Just as the actress is influenced by
her clothes, the girl in everyday life
acts the part expressed by her cloth
ing. Very few people rise above this,
even II they think they do; It's for that
reason | think the clergyman who was
so bitterly criticised believed that a
woman should dress as we'll as she
could.

During rehearsals my poor little

rather shy and self-conscious, STUN
bled about the stage awkwardly, and
was anything but the character she
was trying to impersonate.
"On the night of the dress rehearsal
for the first time, she stepped on the

one of those snake-trained affairs, very
tight around the ankles, which are sup
posed to prove literal stumbling blocks
to the unWary.
"The girl was transformed. With

BY Margaret Hubbard Aver.

(GATOT long ago a clergyman was
" severely criticised for encour-
aging girls especially wage
earning girls, to dress as well as they
could, possibly even a little better. Ac-
cording to Miss Mary Lawton, that
clergyman understood the psychology
of clothes, the moral effect of dress.
Miss Lawton is the beautiful VAL
kyrie-lille person who submerges her
temperamental and emotional self as
Beckys nurse, who has not one shred
of humor or imagination In her compe-
tent and conscientious care of that
young lady's case.
"The actor or I will say the actress,
and speak for myself, realizes the ire
mendous effect which clothes have, not
only on the spirits, but even on the
mannerisms of the person" said Miss
Lawton
Let me illustrate. A friend of mine
charming girl who has had stage as
pirations for some time, but who has
not shown the slightest real talent, was
given a part in a recent production, ana
during the rehearsals showed only the
most glaring limitations.
Her part was that OF a Fashionable
society woman, in other words, it was a
clothes part. She was to wear the most
gorgeous frocks and have the manners,
the grace of bearing, the distinction of
a seasoned society woman of the best
type.
