WOMEN FIGHT RULE
TO BAR SHIRT WAISTS

CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-Women OF Chi
caso accepted the hobble skirt. the
split skirt. and the low-cut waist by de-
| cree Of the makers of fashions.
But the fashion makers went 100
far" in their latest decree, which con
signed the modest, comfortable, and
| useful shirt waist to the style rag bag.
Chicago women have revolted.
II fashionable dressmakers will not
make shirt waists the women will take
sewing lessons and make garments in
their own homes. At least that is what
several prominent women said when
they were asked how they liked the Of
fered substitute for the shirt waist.
The decree of the Fashion Art League
Of America il that. instead Of sepa-
rate skirt and waist, gowns shall be OF
one piece, the suits with coat and skirt
sewed together. Heretofore the shirt
waist has been an important factor in
feminine wear, and the one-piece :dea
does not meet with the women's ap-
proval.
Some OF us who have stocked up on
shirt waists would have white elephants
on our hands" said Miss Amelia Sears,
head Of the Cook county welfare bu-
reau.
Now that woman has become estGb-
lished in the business world, 1t is inn
perative that she shall have Il clean,
that the waist be washable, because
she is forced to work at desks all day.
and the one-piece suit would not be
the most feasible garment.
When the waist or coat. as it is
called, is soiled, which would be at the
end of the first day-tho whole suit
would have to be cleaned. couldn't get
along very well without the shirt
waist"
Women have decided that comfort
shall be the first requisite OF dress.
and this demands the cool shirt waist,
according TO Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout.
I'VE have he'd almost enough of
fEeakish, uncomfortable styles che
said.
There was 4 time when the shirt
waist was about the only comfortable
garment we could wear. And now they
are going to throw that away.
1T can't be done, that's all
Anything which combines utility and
comfort like the shirtwaist can not he
relocated to the background by few
fashion experts who wish TO make more
expensive garments
IF I can't get a fashionable dress
maker to make a shirt waist when
wish il I'll get a sewing machine and
make II myself said Mrs. Bstelie
Press Association. 1.-The shirt waists are
too popular with women to be aban-
doned now. Until the fashion experts
can offer some garment equally poou-
lar, cool and comfortable, the shirt
waist always will be worn"
The edict of the Fashion Art League
was contained in u bulletin Issued at the
Auditorium Hotel For many years the
fashion experts have been trying to
"edict' the shirt waist out Of style, but
they have been unsuccessful.

A little distcnded about tie waist line
and somewhat flattened in the vicinity
Of the pocketbook, Washington today
resumed the routine of daily existence
after one OF the most joyous Christmas
festivals in a decade. Except for the
distressing conditions in Europe. which.
to a certain extent. made themselves

JOY OF the day.
The Biblical Injunction that 1T is

was taken literally throughout the city
and the keenest pleasure OF thousands
was i'm watching the recipients Of their
generosity enjoy gifts of clothes. toys,
food and almost every necessity or lux
Try that could be bestowed.
Missions Fed Hungry.
Every mission in the city provided
dinners OF baskets of edibles for its IN
fortunate patrons and in addition. there
were lodges, private firms and individu-
ais who gave aid to families they felt
TO be deserving.
There were numerous parties and en-
tertainments in society circles, the other
end OF the social scale. but the European
war served to make the day a sad one

celebration in official circles. But
throughout the week there will be
dances, teas. and dinner parties aplenty
for all who care to attend.
Reunion At White House.

SAFETY HEADS LIST
IN CAR PURCHASING
Comfort, Convenience, and Ap-
pearanCe Follow in Order as
important Points.
By HARRY WARD.

one OF washington's pioneer motor
lists. who has driven a number OF dif-
ferent makes Of cars. has come to the
conclusion that buyers seek four i'm
portant points when selecting a car.
THE first IL safety" he says. ''The
second point is comfort. and then fol-
low convenience and appearance. It
is easy enough to see why safety heads
the list. After all. this is the most
important item. You want to feel sure
that you are enjoying the maximum of
safety when you are operating a car.
that the brakes are ample and positive
in action.
Comfort comes second, because it is
essential for the actual enjoyment Of
motoring. Unless you are comfortable.
1t is impossible to motor for any length
or time or distance.
To-day motorists demand convenience
in everything. and it is natural that
we should look for il in the purchase of
a car. II is one OF the principal fea-
lures people look for. They insist On a
dependable lighting and starting sys-
TEN and on having within arms reach
the starting and lighting buttons. cleo
trio horn button. speedometer. and all
the other appliances. They also insist
that these conveniences be absolutely
reliable.
II seems Utmost IKE second ~&IuIe
for us to be proud of everything we
own and this is likewise true of the au-
tomobile- The average buyer wants a
good looking cara car that he will be
proud 20 be seen in anywhere. And It
g for that reason that automobile COM
panies are striving their best TO produce
really artistic looking automobiles. cars
that are works of art from the fine
zach builders standpoint"

G. UGH pretty party gown, in which

featured, is shown here. The bodice

new development of the Teady-made
bodice and tunic affairs that have

Ing of evening gowns. The straight
hanging front, with frill of lace falling
below the waist line, is the most up-to-
fate Of style touches. lust now fashion
does nothing to the waist line but
ignore it. She would like to have all
her deyotees forget it, and a great
number of them do.
The dress is of crepe de chine made
with straight-hanging skirt with some
drapery near the bottom where the
left side vanishes under a hemmed
bias edge at the right. The bodice is
the simplest imaginable, a baby
waist"-that is, a plain gathered front
and back with short plain sleeves. 1t
Is merely foundation and background

THE day has come when displays OF
j elegant footwear may be said to
rival displays of jewelry in brilliance.
Judging from the dressy shoes and
slippers which fill the show cases of
the shoe shops, and those of depart
ments in the great stores, the adjec-
tives which have been used in de-
scribing gowns and hats will find
themselves associated in the future
with clothing for the feet. 1t will
require them to convey any idea Of
the daintiness and brilliance that
characterize the newest footwear for
evening.
Black patent leather combinations
18th white kid make up great num-
Or of the handsomest slippers. But,
besides these, there are combinations
Of bronze, gold and silver with fab
RIGS and slippers of these fancy leath-
ers alone, as well as slippers made OF
fabrics alone. The array is dazzling
and In point of variety bewildering.
Just now there is liking for white
satin on which gold or silver figures
are thrown up In embroidered de-
signs. These are finished with small
but most brilliant buckles of rhine
stones. Certainly such slippers de-
serve to be called corrections in foot
kear. But to get any idea of the va
iety which confronts the purchaser,
lust the display in single show case
nay be described to give clear idea
If the leading style-feature for this
'eason.
First there is satin novelty called
he Poinciana slipper. 1t is plain,
beautifully shaped model with short
amp, somewhat pointed toe and
french heel. At the back the satin
xtends upward to the ankle, where
is fastened to velvet band. This
and encircles the ankle, fastening
18th two small pearl buttons at the
de. One may choose this slipper

black satin vamp and white satin
quarters. Very plain, very beautifully
finished and very elegant, the EN-
press is shown in this single combina
ton.
A third strikingly beautiful black
and-white slipper has a black satin
vamp and heel, with quarter of white
satin extended over the instep in a
strap. The edges of the slipper and
strap are bound with black satin and
this new creation is fastened with @
double buckle of brilliant rhinestones
at the side. One may have 1t In all
black or all white, either Of them
handsome enough but having not
quite the snap of black and white and
rhinestone in conjunction.
Next comes a quiet model in bronze
kid having tongue embroidered
with bronze beads, and then a tango
tie in bronze laced across the instep
with ribbon which ties about the
ankle. These are to be had in othes
materials and colors.
Less snowy, slipper in dull kid tn
exquisitely shaped and supplied with
four straps across the instep. Tho
toe and straps are beaded. This Is
made in white or in bronze, With
beads to match. Then comes a marvel
in white satin and gold brocade and
after it an array Of plain satin opera
slippers in all the evening colors.
Truly she who is looking for some
thing new and beautiful in slippers
will have no trouble in finding all that
she is looking for, and more. too
For there are other showcases filled
with other slippers.

is in high favor. The tunic and dresa
