Queen Mary Puts Ban On
ExtraUagances In Dress;
Puts Ban On Full Dress

London. Eng Jan s.-Queen Mary
has set a very definite example lately
to the women of England. Both she
and princess Mary. while not abandon
ing pretty colors. have shown that eX-
travagance in attire is distasteful TO
them. Her majesty has said that until
the end Of the war she does not wish
full evening dress to be worn. For her
own evening wear. and that OF her
daughter. she has ordered. long sleeyed
silk dresses of great simplicity only
just open at the neck
This fashion is being initiated every
where. At the theaters, the really
smart woman is seen in demi-toilette
only. The queen has adopted a fashion
of the moment from which she at first
dissented and has her skirts cut Just
an inch or so shorter than before The
money which her majesty saves from
dress expenditure goes in her generous
gifts to war funds.
