Dress in London.

Something might be said of the
changes that three years of war have
brought about in our clothes. Evening
dress is not abolished, but it is becom-
ing much less customary in theaters
and restaurants, and people coming
up to London who used TO bring eve
ming clothes with them no longer do
so. Stiff white collars are disappear
ing. and the soft collar is worn by all
classes. The democratic process had
already set in at the house of COM
mons. One remembers the shock that
Mr.. Keir Hardie's cloth cap created on
its first appearance there, but it has
advanced immensely since the war be-
gan. FroclS coats are in small and
die-hard minority. Spats are on their
last legs. Top hats survive miraculous
~, 1t might seem, until one remembers
their enduring qualities, so that their
persistence is only a form of war
economy after all.

THE CONTRAST.

Last fall Ontario had an epidemic of
typhoid fever which, while it did not result
in many deaths, did cause great deal of
needless suffering. The slight public inter
est aroused by that epidemic has failed as
yet to secure amy adequate step looking to-
toward the eradication Of the causes.
Last Saturday morning Ontario had a
fire. The fire burned up an empty livery
stable. The total loss was less than $4,000
During the fire it was demonstrated that
Ontario; To all intents and purposes so far
as fire protection is concerned; has no water
system. Immediately there arises de-
mand for greater water supply TO protect
property.
Ii appears that il this demand for the
protection of property by the building of n
new water supply is continued some action
is liable to be taken and Ontario will get that
which al, needs--a real water system The
Argus expresses the hope that those who
want TO see barns protected will unite with
those who would like 10 SEE babies protected
and together they make common cause of
this great need. II seems that this will be
the only way in Which adequate protection
will ever be secured. However much the
community deplores the fire of last Satur-
day morning. especially under the circum-
stance in which it started, if thru lessons
il brought home, water system results for
Ontario, il will become blessing in disguise.
