You know, there are many who think
that man has stood still while woman
has gone forward. and that it is we
who have loosened the shackles of
tradition and who are amused to find
many men who are still in the stone
age And none of this has to do with
! civics or politics or the higher educa-
ton; they are loud sounding cymbals
of a tremendous evolution and draw the
attention of the dull ones to what has
been going on for over century.
Part of this evolution is concerned
with clothes. All the old methods have
been abandoned in the matter OF deal
ing with dress; no one buys now Tor
lifetime and no one saves for a decade
The woman who works is the pioneer
in the new method. One OF the reasons
she went to work is that she wanted
newer clothes. better clothes. The wom-
en- who went to work have blaZed the
way for millions of women who have
never and will never be wage-earners
1t is these women. in mass, VINO maze
it possible for the huge department
shops to sell ready-toWear clothing
at small price and change its assort-
ment every few months.
And so we have grown accustomed
to the idea of dividing our year into
by having six seasons instead of four
and we insist upon dressing according
to the seasons which we have estab-
lished.
We no longer make and pretense of
buying clothes that will last from Sep
tember until June; there are enormous
sections of women who are neither rich
nor fashionable. but they follow the
path that these women take, even if it
is far, far away. They do not want
clothes that last forever.
There has been a host of trouble in
the world of dressmaking this autumn.
There are many chastened and sad
dened souls among those who sell
feminine apparel Something happened
nobody yet knows quite what it
but women did not buy as they
should have during the three autumn
months. In New York. for instance.
where one expects the largest amount
of money to be spent clothes, the
buying was held back for so long that
numbers of high-class dressmakers and
shops sent out additional announce
ments after the first one and devised
several kinds of shows to bring the
public.
The delay in buying clothes was put
off on infantile paralysis and the cleo
ton. but. possibly. if the truth were
acknowledged it would be due to the
tremendous prices asked for French
gowns

in the new possession dies out they
realize that they may not have thirty

such a garment may be comfortably

Whenever coats of fur are in fashion

again there is no chance for saving
