CLOTHES Not Honest"
Because Women Too
Blindly Follow Fashion

Apropos. perhaps, to the deluge of
new fashions that always characterize
the spring, and incidentally, the Easter
season, is the comment Of Miss M. Jane
Newcomb, lecturer at the home
economies course conducted by the
Pennsylvania State college in con-
junction with its extension school. Miss
Newcomb severely criticised her sisters
for blindly following fashions whether
suitable to them or not, saying:
so deeply have We become involved
in the matter, of clothes that it will
take the courage of strong convictions
to free ourselves, and these convic-
tions must be built on strong prin-
ciples.
80 anxious are we to dress like
someone else or according to some
style shown in a shop window that our
clothes are not honest. They are imi-
tations from beginning to end. In
truth most of fashion in dress is just
that of imitation. What is the most
glazing phase of the problem at the
present time is the proportion of in
come spent for clothes. Working girls
determined to be in fashion spend their
whole salary on their clothes, eat in
sufficient food and are physical, il not
moral, wrecks in a few years as a re-
suit"

gloated in its victory, so, now, the
vacant tomb, in hooking derision,
Haunted its heartrending emptiness be-
fore them. Earth, in its anguish, rent
itself asunder; Heaven, in its mercy,
sent an evangel to proclaim the risen
Christ; He'll, in its demoniac glee,

the empty sepulcher.
Centuries have grown old and re-
tired into the Land of CblivioIl and
man even today can see little more
than "the place where He lay" Earth
has tasted of human blood and her
peoples have become frenzied with the
lust thereof. A myriad torn and broken
bodies are today but food for the re-
lentless worms OF unknown graves. The
cannonade Of Armageddon has abb
sorbed in its terrible crescendo the an
gelic carol HE Is risen." Hunger

the empty tomb. Earth needs today
not that heavenly visitant should
again declare a risen Lord, but a prac-
tical demonstration that "He is rfSen,

Lacking which, the grave is more elo-
quent than the herald of promise: the
golden glory of Easter morn Is lost in
the shadow of the Cross; the illustrious
beauty of the TRANSPORTED One fades
before the thorn crowned figure of de-
feat, and the Golgotha Of death mocks
derisively the Olivet of immortality. In
effable rapture will be the portion OF
earth's peoples when they shall have
abjured their rendezvous with Death
and keep faithful tryst with Him who
"came to bring life and immortality to
