A number Of smart women who lead

have succeeded in giving 1t character

A black satin dinner frock, for in

black and white tulle arranged in
modest decolletage, may have cost as
much as a black and gold brocade of
last season, trimmed with tulle and
metal and draped in daring way
that focused the attention. But the
effect of economy was there.
The majority Of women think that
any undue display of apparel is in
bad taste They feel that the amount
of money they pay for their clothes
that any visible and outward display
of the high cost of the gown is a
public matter, and one that the public
has a right to criticize.
The question of food is handled in
much the same way. If you have
been to anyone Of the three-cOurse din

ton
There are three courses; against that
there is no discussion. The quantity
Of food that can be put into three
courses forms the interesting part Of
this subject, but, mind you, the food
is not expensive and it is not elaborate
Iry
who dimes is that the inner man is
satisfied with nourishing food perfect
~ cooked.
Onions and potatoes may cost a
good deal; rice may have gone up IN
price: chops may be much higher than
mushrooms with a French sauce; but
who can gainsay the effect of severe
simplicity in the serving of this type
of food?
Just what the women who serve
three courses have done to their cook
cry is what the women of wealth
have done to their clothes.
See Effect OF Economy.
After the first hysteria Of war econ
omy was over, women saw it's foolish
ness in regard to apparel. A few facts
sufficed to give them a different atti-
tude.
When several dozen seamstresses
had their engagements Cancelled for
the spring season and were at their
wits end to know how to pay the
fent and get food, the women who en-
gagged these seamstresses to come to
their houses each season, quickly saw
that 1t was better to pay wages than
to give to charity.
When hundreds Of gowns were
thrown back on dressmakers' hands,
on the plea that there would be no
money to pay for such extravaganza,
and the dressmakers were compelled
to hold sweeping sales that under
valued whatever clothes the rich wom-
en- had already bought, a new idea
concerning economy was born in the
brains of wealthy women.
The, second movement on the part
of masses of women was then direct
ed toward providing money for those
who worked, and at the same time
eliminating the appearance of waste
and extravaganza.
The sane idea worked well In both
directions; 1t kept the workers en-

SIMPLICITY IN CLOTHES SOUGHT

ployed and gave them sufficient money
on which to live; and it did not Of
fend the public. No one wants to ap-
pear frivolous or unthinking in CRISIS
like this. When women are dressed in
gold or silver, in jeweled trappingw
and in precious gems, that vast pub
lie that Is thinking only of how to-
live and how to sacrifice, might begin
to murmur those terrible sentences of
the French people in the revolution.
1t is the appearance of extrava-
gance, therefore, that women should
avoid in these times of stress. Let
them spend as literally for apparel
as they can afford, but let all women
follow the lead of the wealthy and
conservative set and see to it that their
clothes reflect this great hour in dig
nifty, seriousness and simplicity.
1t is interesting to know that Ger
many is the first of the belligerents
to put a restriction on the amount Of
wearing apparel for each person. The
imperial clothing office has fixed the
amount of garments that each man
or woman may buy or possess during
the year This office also limits the
amount of material which may be used
in the making of a gown or suit.
No one may purchase q yard of ma
terial or a single garment without a
special permit.
It is also interesting to know what
imperial Germany thinks is sufficient
In the way of clothing for one wom-
an-two everyday frocks, one Sum
day frock, one separate skirt, two
blouses, one coat or cape, one shawl,
one dressing gown, three aprons, one
pair of gloves, half dozen handker-
chiefs, four chemises. three night
gowns, three combinations or bloom
ers, three petticoats and four pairs Of
stockings.
Clothes That Appear Well.
1T is the comment of all dress
makers that they are compelled to
sell gay clothes at half the price Of
solemn ones. This should be a guide
to all those who are preparing to
plan the summer wardrobe.
There Is no idea of substituting
black for all colors, as there was in
Ut OCSiill1hS VI TIC wal
for we're not facing an invading army
and burying masses of our dead. Yet,
women are choosing frocks with only
a bit of white, or Chinese brocade, to
enliven them; and beige, sand, white
and dull plaids are preferred to red,
blue. green and purple.
The woman who may have chosen
cloth of gold brown with n tlIniC
over it for last summer, will today
choose a frOck of white satin with a
bit of black tulle at neck and arms,
and q girdle of ribbon velvet with

but she takes her place in the world
with more dignity in the latter than

Women dine and dance at restau-
rants as much as they did last sea-

cessively decollete gowns that have

seen in frocks of silk and tulle, or
lace, that are high at the back and
