A FORECAST FOR THE FALL

Although nearly a month OF sum
mer still remains, women are asking
for information regarding the autumn
modes. SIX months ago. perhaps
longer. the manufacturers of women's
garments were preparing the suits
and coats and dresses that must be in
the shops before the goldenrod. naunts
Its yellow flowers along the roadside.
The styles adopted before August -,
when the French couturiers have their
openings. are all tentative: the de
signers up to this time have only
grasped at straws. but from long en-
perience they have become very ex-
pert. The first fall models shown in
the shops are DEVELOPMENTS OF the late
summer STYLES introduced at the Paris
races. The models exhibited al tho
openings will not reach this country
before the first week in September.
Those who have studied the situa-
ton in the fashion world carefully do
not expect any radical change this
fall. There are various reasons for
this opinion To begin with, women
have grown tired or the tyrannies or
fashion; they have refused several
times during tho last few months to
accept styles that the couturiers have
endeavored 10 thrust upon them, be-
cause they were new They are be-
dividuality, and they are demanding
new and original ideas. costumes not
like their neighbors'. az In previous
years. but something different. The
day OF uniform has passed. This idea
of individuality necessarily must be
developed further. because tho great
designers are pledged not to copy the
models OF their competitors. Further
more, there will be a certain accord
among these designers. because the
same sources arc open to ALL but the
details OF the costume will be worked
out differently. In other words. tho
inspiration may be the same, but tho
details Will be different. From this
elasticity In modes, women may ex-
pect original ideas worked out to suit
the practical everyday needs OF this
work day world; Ideas with very
real artistic value.
The artists and those who uphold
the principles OF the modern art school
have. ard will continue to have. n
marked influence on the modes. This
influence has extended back to the

A checking up of the measures en-.
acted discloses that the criticism
which was directed at the Ohio gen.
eral assembly was based upon bills
introduced and not bills passed. True,
there we're many freak measures in.
troduced; and each time such bill
was put into the legislative hopper,
criticisms were made Of the frivolity
or poor judgment of the solons. For
instance, one man in the capital city
was heard to question the ability Of
the Democratic majority to make
laws. When asked for a reason, he
stated that any genera! assembly that
would pass such q trifiing measure as
that for the regulation Of women's
clothes should be recalled. He was
surprised when told that Republi
can member was the author of that
proposed legislation, that 1t had not
been passed and was not given even
a moments serious consideration.
Such instances with respect to other
bills could be multiplied. Each mem.
ber has the privilege of introducing
bills, and the cries of resentment that
would follow an attempt to curtail
this privilege would extinguish the
criticism that follows the Offering Of
trihiDg measures. Legislative leaders
carefully sifted out the chaff; the
faulty bills were either smothered or
killed in one of the houses, and those
who performed this task are certain
that time will demonstrate that the
calibre of the work of the Eightieth
general assembly is superior to that
Of any other law making body that
ever sat In Ohio.
