The creation Of proposed trade com

declares, the substitution OF 4 marked

admittedly fragrant abuses, the country
has attained an almost unparalleled pros
perity.' Tho Commissioner SAYS:
Up IN tho present time The idea of a
trade commission has been in the main
associated with regulation rather than
with maintenance Of competition. In
deed any proposal for trade commission
with substantially the same Jurisdiction
over private business corporations as ~
row given 10 the Interstate Commerce
Commission over common carriers is I'm
large measure Il proposition for the
abandonment Of competition and for the
acceptance OF concentration and COM
blnation, on the ground that regulation
viii sufficiently protect the public vel
fare. For there can be no doubt that the
old idea that unrestricted competition
among railroad companies Is desirable
has been largely abandoned. Instead
public opinion has recognized that to o
considerable extent az least, such enter
prizes do not permit of free competition
although even here IL is noteworthy that
where competition has been virtually
destroyed, as In the case of certain New
England railroads. the results have
proved exceedingly unsatisfactory from
the public standpoint. However, it may
be conceded that SO far as railroad and
certain other quasi-public corporations
are concerned. the public has definitely
accepted the principle that competition
must largely be subordinated to regu-
alton. But TO assume that the same
principle should be adopted in dealing
with the private corporations of the
country is Il radical departure.
Some Exceptional Problems.
Undoubtedly there are industries out
side the field of railroad transportation
and other public service enterprises
where the competitive principle is not
entirely applicable. but these instances
present exceptional problems TO be dealt
with on their individual merits.
zone fact seems obvious The opportu
nifty for regulating monopoly cannot be
lost by attempts to maintain the COM
petitive principle. II, on the other hand.

Here is one of several letters l have

haps the opinion of a saleswoman would

II RON the letters I have received l
r. find that l was wrong in think
ing that the average American
woman who is so smartly gowned, and
whose dress allowance is always over
drawn, adorns herself to shine in the
eyes of the ma sculine SEX
1 admit frankly that the French wom-
an does. But it is quite different over
here.
In this land, where woman rules de-
spite her ballotess condition. the opin-
ion Of other women is of more impor-
lance to her than the views of mere
man.
The best dressed audiences are the
matinee audiences, where the men are
few and far between. Women wear
their most becoming and their newest
frocks at bridge and other wOmen's
clubs. The American woman's after
noon frocks are. as a rule, more numer-
Gus and more gorgeous than her even
ing gowns, especially among a certain
class; and everybody knows that the
American man does not appear with his
women folk until the evening, being too
busy during the daytime earning the
wherewithal to pay for the frocks.
Even the white haired grandmother,
who has no thought of attracting the
other sex. is beautifully gowned for a

American Women Dress to Please Themselves, Says
Gaby Deslys

notice everything they have on. But
these are not the worst. The woman
who has nothing to do will buy almost
anything she sees and we who have to
serve her often know that she is doing
it merely to show off and spend money,
and sometimes just to impress.
THE SALESPERSON."
Here is another womans opinion:
Dear Mile. Deslys:
Women would not wear such unbe-
coming clothes if they dressed for
themselves or for men.
The average man has no idea, or at
least a very vague one, Of the name Of
the material of which the dress he is
looking at its made. His eye only TO-
cuses the general effect, and the inn
preston, if pleasing left on his mind is
simply one of lines and coloring. If
displeasing. it must mean that the dress
does not suit its Wearer.
ITO some men a woman is only really
we'll dressed when CARRIED in black. |
think at the theater men admire black
very much and pink and pale blue next.
Indefinite shades of Coloring don't APP
peai to the average man, because his
color sense is not as acute as Wom-
ans.
ANY woman with intelligence can
dress to please the one man for whom
she cares, and it is a very simple mat
ter to dress to perfection in the eyes
of the man who cares for her.
women dress eXtraNagantIY to stu
pefy or knock out other women. 9th
er women know the cost Of plumes and
furs; they know the new jabot and the
waist that has new and expensive
touches. Men, unless in the dry goods
business, do not pretend to keep abreast
of the times in all the little niceties
of q woman's costume.
when d woman has worn a certain
froCk more than once to some social
gathering she feels that she must get a
new dress, not to attract the attention
of men, but to show the other women
that she or her husband can afford 1t.
"OBSERVER."
am glad to see that observer" has
the same opinion as | have as to the
attractive qualities of different colors.
An Effective Combination.
l am sure that black and white is the
most effective combination, and | felt
this long before it became fashionable
Men always like it, especially in the
evening, and the woman whose skin is
clear can wear the dull black, while
she who has sallow or Colorless skin
should always wear glossy materials,
and she will do we'll to get cream color
instead of blue or white.
Very few women can wear pure
white, by the way. 1t is most unbe-
coming and / advise all of you who
admit that'you dress to excite the envy
of women rather than the admiration
of men to flee from pure white
Pink Is wonderfully attractive. 1t

render to the charms of the second man
''TrouDled" says ne loves her; that
it was love at first sight: He adds,
however, that there is girl waiting
for him who is not quite so swell"
She has been waiting till he could COM
mand a salary sufficiently large to war
rant their marrying, but now that he
has the salary he feels that the girl
who is stunning and swelr' is better
suited to him.
He wants to know what he shall do.

wouldn't want him to marry the first
girl and bring any more sorrow into
her life. | want him to take his con-
ceit and that beauty which no woman
can resist and lay them at the feet of
the second love.
She was untrue to her lover because
of him. She was untrue to herself in
giving him gifts the former lover had
given her. She Will be untrue to this
second lover And that is what he
needs!
1t will be good for his souls salvation
to give his love into the keeping of a
woman who will walk all over it. He
needs little humiliation he must be
made to suffer the pain he has inflicted.
He is too sure Of his charms He is
smothered in his self satisfaction. A
good woman could never apply the rem
edy he needs. She would give tears;
what he needs is scorn.
He says the girl who has been walt
ing for him all these years has been
economical, and a great help to him in
saving money. She has always refused
to let him take her in a taxicab pre-
ferring to walk or ride in a street car.
She has steadily refused to accept any
gifts from him that are costly, and
seems to have been an ideal little
sweetheart to have
She is too good for you, Mr.. Trou-
bled! You would have to be born again
to deserve her. and am afraid you can
never be that, for the self satisfied man
has no desire to be made and made
all over again.
For your happiness l would urge you
to return to your first love. But l am
not sure It would be for her happiness
and it is with her happiness am most
concerned
