Fashion in dress always goes from one
extreme to another. Just now it is the
tight fitting dress. Five years will see
the hoop skirt back and it will be i'm
possible to get three women in an ele-
yator at the same time"
Mrs. Jones, while opposing the pres
ent dictate of fashion for women, has
her ideas OF what should constitute
proper apparel for men.
Il want TO see the men revert to
the clothes of the old colonial time,
clothes that had some distinction and
color. Let the bright colors of the
velvets, the knee breechess, the lace,
and the silks take the place of the
prison garb that man affects today
Women may be slave to fashion

but she is more independent than
man. What man would dare to wear
a straw hat before June? Or would
he make some radical change in his
costume and show it off?
You seldom see two hats on WON
en- alike, but there is an eternal same
ness of the male costume. 1t is the
stiff Derby of the same colored and
shaped soft hattie same cut OF
clothes, and all that.
Before women adopt mans cos
tune let the men do some reform
ing on their own behalf. l am moi
in favor of the present tight skirt
but that will pass away of its owl
accord. The women themselves will
see to that, but it is up to the mer
to show some independence and make
radical reforms"
