 Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is a lady of handsome appear and considerable wealth She has been in the habit wearing beautiful and rather expensive clothes She lives in Washington but often went to New York on shopping trips to order gowns and hats from favorite makers.
 Mrs. Wilson was amply able to pay for these little uxures, and showed tendency scrimD with those who served her.
 Mrs. Galt was engaged to be married. Naturally sine spent little than usual on her clothes Most women under such circumstances do.
 Mrs Gal was engaged to be married to the President of the United States She be for the season he most conspicuous woman in America Not only that but she would stand in that conspicuous place as representative of all American women Naturally she wanted to be as well dressed possible Every Ameri can wants her to be clothed in a manner fitting the high position she is to take
 Why then all this excitement about Mrs wilson'c gowns?
 Rev. Bouck White pastor of the Church of the So. cial Revolution" in New York, said in 8 sermon or Women and Wealth-1lrs Galts Trousseau in Catas. irophic Era, that they would lead to crime

 It is true of course, that some women are clothes mad These women will no doubt use the fact of Mrs. Wilson's sartoria acquisition spur their husbands in ,he way Mir White suggests But one is led to doubt very strongly whether any nnan not already thus in aned will suddenly be led from the path of frugaity to that of dollar madness by Mrs. Wilson's gowns
 As matter fact. it is the clothes mad women who wears the latest and altogether sest creations which out in the siiest city in the country New York, and which held together three months and must then be replaced by silier ones This woman might we'll take lesson in good sense in dress from Mrs Wilson's quiet sensible attire
 There are parasite women who have nothing to do but think of themselves and their garments But talk ing the country by and large they are very few They are more conspicuous in large cities of course and es peciay in New York where show so much and subst ance little.
 But there they are few The women who do their share, and often than their share the work of their families are many The women who are too busy alarming Johnnys stocking and letting down susans school dresses and making over something that will do for Mary to be much concerned about the color of Mrs Wilson's evening gowns are legion And when most of these women the days work done the children safe in bed last sit down to look over the daily paper which is their evening relaxation see de scriptons of Mrs Wilson's rousseau they delight in it. beauty and fitness for its They are happy to know that though they may not have luxurious attire them selyes-nor have they for 1.-the woman who is tC represent them will do them honor
