A Fashion Originator.

That Americans can not only
originate fashion, but that the
whole world will accept them, is
shown by the short skirt, and the
shirt waist, which emanated from
the land of free women. and which
Paris at first derided, and then ac-
cepted, and which fashions were so
practical and sensible that they
have come to stay for women Just
as much as coat and trousers have
for men.
Also because American women
refused to wear the clumsy and ILL
fitting foreign shoes. the American
shoe has the earth for it's own, and
on the most fashionable shopping
streets in London and Paris there
are huge signs which proclaim
American Shoes Sold Here
It's absurd to say that we can't
make as pretty hats and gowns as
are made anywhere else in the civ
ilized world. We do. But we sell
them under a French label. at a
higher price, than if they had their
own honest American trademark on
them. That brands us as being
both snobs and easy marks.
Let's quit. right here. sisters.
Let's take up the slogan. "Ameri-
can Fashions for American Wom-

makers know that we are ready to

industry. 1t will be money In our

American Fashions For American Women

\ CAMPAIGN that should have
"A the support of every intell-
gent woman in the land has
been inaugurated by Mr.. Edward
Box for the suppression of the
Paris label on gowns and hats. and
the substitution therefor of the
home grown one.
The battle cry OF this holy war
is, American fashions for Amer
lean women Its appeal is to the
good sense, the pocketbook and the
patriotism of the women of the
country, and here's wishing the new
crusade success, and that the time
will not be tar distant when a re-
spectacle American woman will no
more think of getting her clothes
from Paris than she does her NOR
ais from there.
Too long have we been under the
thralldom of the fallacious idea
that all sartorial glory not only
originated in Paris. but stayed
there. and that because a dress or
a hat was made in Paris it was
bound to be marvel of beauty and
taste, and have points of excellence
about it that no other dress or hat
made elsewhere. and especially in
America, could possess. Paris has
had us hypnotized to that degree
that we have taken whatever she
handed out, and have worn it, no
matter what freaks it made us look
like, without daring to criticise or
question

Time to Wake Up.

But the time has come for us to
make few passes at ourselves.
and wake up, and face the truth.
and that is that the superlative
artistic touch of the French dress
maker and milliner is nothing but a
myth. and that there is no other
such sloppy dressmaking extant as
that executed on the banks of the
Seine. and that when we buy a
French frock we pay about $50 eX-
ira on it for the pleasure of de-
ceiving ourselves, and as long as we
wear it we have the continual
pleasure of sewing on hooks that
were merely pasted on. and catch
ing up drapeIy that ripped if we
looked at It.
Our blind devotion to the French
fashion fetch is silly enough, heav-
en knows, when we get the real ar
ticle that is actually made in Paris.
but II becomes grotesquely humor-
GUS when we find women willing to
pay nearly double for hat or a
gown that is made in New York, or
Chicago, or Philadelphia. because II
has a bogus Paris label sewed on
it. Yet they do this every day. and

to write a letter to the Man

Effect of Tact.
A man in charge who wears a
Prince Albert coat every day, and
can boss 20 or 80 persons, may act
like king on a throne, or he can
step down and shake hands with
the boys.
1t pays to come down and say,
Good morning, Joe; how are you
today?"
1t pays, because it makes the boy
know that he and the boss are on
the same job, working in the same
interest with no kingly haughti-
ness separating them.
This is an instance OF the benefi-
cial effect of Tact
1t has been said of statesmen that
they can get a mans attention by
striking him on the head with a big
stick; but, having gotten attention
in that manner, they can not sell
him any goods. He is too sore to
buy
This is an Illustration of the bad
effect of Tactlessness.

AFNESS CANNOT bE CURED
By local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused BY an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing Of the eustachian tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness Is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ell to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
ou of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.
