Why do fashions change?

Why do fashions change?
That is a question that has been asked
thousands of times by thousands of diff
ferent persons. Many men and some
women are continually advocating a uni
form costume for women. with as little
change as mems clothes have.
There are as many answers to the
question, doubtless, as there are ways
of asking it. But there is only one fund
amentally correct answer.
Fashions change because woman Is
ever seeking to accentuate her charm.
When a silhouette, a fashion. becomes
usual it ceases to attract attention. Peo-
pie forget to admire the thing they are
used to very often. no matter how
charming it may be- Hence. to attract
attention. to point her charm and beauty.
woman favors changing fashions.
She may not reason the matter out,
but the real reason why narrow skirt
succeeds wide one. why a short-waist-
ed bodice succeeds a long one. is always
the same; the change attracts attention.
There are always people who attach
immodesty to change. even when on the
face of it the change is for the better.
The people who most strongly criticised
the small waist are the people who most
strongly criticised the large waist. First
1t was immodest to wear tight stays.
then it was immodest TO leave them off.
The Mohammedan looks on the unveiled
woman as brazen: others see coquetry
in the half-veiled face. When We are
used to starched muslin frocks. some of
us even look for signs of an Interior mo-
tive when starch goes out of fashion. a
dress that ends above the shoe tops is
condemned. and then. when We are used
to that, the dress that almost covers the
ankles is dubbed inadvisable by the crit
les. who contend that it only draws at
tention to the very ankles it covers
Even the ears come in for criticism.

endure or not it is too soon to tell. But
certain it is that the wider skirt is
strong feature OF the spring styles. This
skirt is shorter than the narrow skirt
has been. In New York City. where. per-
haps, fashions are more extreme than in
other cities. it is no unusual thing to
count half "A dozen women in the course
Of a minute walk in the shopping
district wearing skirts that show half
an inch of stocking above the boot top.
Many of the lingerie frocks for sum-
mer gain the desired flare of skirt by
means of ruffles and fiounces. Others
are made with a circular portion set on
a fitted yoke. Still others are pleated into
the desired fairness about the hips and
some. of course. are cut on the regular
circular plan. fiat at the hips and fiaring
at the hem.
Long sleeves for daytime wear are the
rule. For evening the sleeveless frock
is still worn. but high. pulled sleeves. of
Empire tradition. are also worn. and
they will probably be used for summer.
The high waistline is another Empire
detail of fashion that is noticeable. And
it must be admitted that this is very at
tractive. especially with the full skirts.
There are a good many who believe that
the short, full skirt will be found much
more attractive. however, If the bodice

The cOllarless bodice is still in evidence
for daytime wear. In fact. there is a
real decolletage on some afternoon
frocks. But the high. boned collar is
also worn, and many OF the newer
blouses show a high. unboned collar.
Just at the moment the situation seems
to be rather comfortable One may
choose the sort of neck finish comfort

many other women are wearing the same

WhyFdShi0nS Change

When the couture was made to lover
them. that was called coy. And last
autumn. when the high couture that
drew the hair away from the ears came
into fashion, the same easily shocked
critics were scandalized at the bare ears
that showed again.
Now of course the reason given above
for changing fashion may not he a very
high and lofty reason. But it is nat
ural thing for woman to dress becom-
ingly, attraCtively, natural for her to
wish to accentuate her charm.
Nobody crticises the young country
girl who thrusts a bunch of garden flow
ers in her girdle. Yet the flowers stand
for the same thing in her more limited
world that changing fashions stand for
in the world of society. They accrntu-
ate her prettincss. her charm. Some
women adopt changing styles without
reasoning out the reason for their exist
ence. Some adopt them as sclf-cOn-
sciously as does the theatrical manager
who knows that if the members of his
chorus are to add to the dra wing pow
ers of the play he is presenting. he must
see to it that their costumes are unusua!
enough to cause comment.
This is not an argument in favor OF
this constant change of fashion: it is not
even an effort to uphold the reason as
one worthy of support Perhaps the
world would he better If there were no
fashions: doubtless there would be more
beauty in it if every woman dressed to
suit her individual style.
But the reason given for changing
fashions is plausible, and every one must
agree that it is the true reason.

changes of fashions that have recently
come about.

EVERYDAY POULTRY TERMS
It is Correct to Speak Of Female as a
Pullet Until She Is Eighteen
Months Old.

There seems to be a somewhat hazy
notion among amateurs as to the ex-
act meaning of the terms used to des-
ignate young and old stock. A pullet,
strictly speaking, is a female under
one year old. After she has attained
her full maturity she is a hen, but in
the trade we speak of fowl as pull
let until she has completed her first
years laying. Therefore, it is correct
to speak of her as a pullet until she
is eighteen months old, or has begun
her first molt
A cockerel is male bird under one
year old, but he is usually spoken of
as cockerel until he has at least en-
tered well upon his first year as a
breeding cockerel.
Cocks are older males, usually hav.
ing passed through one seasons
breeding. If you order cockerels for
breeding purposes, you will get birds
that have not been used for breeding.
When ordering pullets, you will get
females that are under eighteen
months, at the most.
A cockerel should never be used to
breed from before he is a year old.
A pullet, II she begins to lay at six
months, may be bred from at nine
months of age. but she will be better
If not bred from till she is one year
old. The progeny from mature stock
is much more vigorous and of a
larger size than from immature stock.
A broiler is a. bird weighing two
pounds or less, and from six to twelve
weeks old. A spring chicken is a
young bird weighing over two pounds.
A capon is the male bird deprived of
its generatiVe organs for the purpose
of improving the weight and delicacy
of its carcass. A stewing chick weighs
about three pounds. A roaster
weighs four or more pounds.

The moment you feel dull ache in

about four ounces of Jad Salts from

them from each side. This is certain
to protect them.
