One effect OF the terrible struggle that
e. going on in Europe is TO mako this
country self-relisnt.
There are q great many commodities
which we have depended upon Europe
FOR. Now we win have to produce these
things ourselves. OF go without.
II Is a somewhat humiliatIng fact that
fwomen's dress OF recent years has been
patterned after the clothing worn by tho
nymph du pave OF Paris.
We have been told that In women's
dresses the fashion makers have actually
''outstripped" each other.
The skinny. short skirt. clutehing at
the equator. tight where II should be
generous. punching where 1t ought not,
was designed with intent to prove that
the wearer was just merging out of girl
hood and had outgrown her clothes and
was in danger OF bursting. into life like
a full blown rose at an inopportune time
The good old classic garments OF our
grandmammas are strictly out Of the
game. and the wash out on the line is no
longer interesting.
Partisan styles have been adopted by
Americans without a seconds thought
OF where they originated.
Today sane and sensible women in
America are getting a line on these
modes.
And there has been a suspicion for
many years that much Of the hilarious
nirth Of the Parisians was for CONNER
eial purposes.
/ myself have seen In the cafes a man
at the front door give a signal. when
the hilarity in the back room would start
up-this on the approach OF a party OF
American tourists.
One thing sure. the Americans are
filled with the desire TO be honest, to be
simple. 10 be direct. in all OF their al.
fairs Of life. And the fashions should re-
fleet the hearts OF the people and their
prevailing mood.
America has one-sixteenth the popula.
tion of the world but we have one-third
the wealth OF the world, and In a shor,
time we will have one-half the wealth OF
the world.
Our wealth was obtained by honest ef.
