Fashions Of the Future.

Out Of the war in Europe should
come an excellent opportunity for the
women of this nation to break loose
from the bondage of Paris fashions, a
bondage that-according to the mas
culine idea-must have given them
many hours of mental anguish.
Women have complained for years
that they were driven by tyrannical
fashion makers to put foolish
garments upon themselves. They have
justified the action by saying that the
memorable decree of Paris designers
compelled them to accept freakish
styles that their souls abhorred. This
explanation has had to be accepted,
for lack of better one, as the reason
why our streets and other public
places were turned into something re-
sembling flock Of fancy dress balls.
No doubt sounds of joy will now
rise through the August air because
of the news that soon Americans will
be in a position to design the apparel
worn by American women. 1t is as
sumed, of course, that common sense
and good taste will be manifest now
that the shackles Of Partisan style
makers are about to be thrown of. 1t
is impossible to think that American
designers would inflict upon women of
their own race and nation outlandish
garb similar to that which has been
coming from Paris in recent years.
But perhaps before bursting into
dithyrambs in our JOY over this de-
liverance it would be the part OF wis
dom for us to wait and see what real
" comes of it.-Chicago News.
