Women Have Little Chance for

New York.-The merry-go-round of
fashion continues. Each of the great
centers where women's apparel is sold
reports an extremity of business that
has caused the work people a loss of
sleep and threatened the heads of the
departments with nervous collapse.
Naturally, women object to having
their gowns copied, and there is a
hubbub in the apparel world concern
ing the well established fact that the
gown which is imported at a cost of
5000 can be bought for $50 as a copy
at one of the ready-to-wear shops.
There is no remedy for this condi-
ton. The woman who insists upon
wearing models that are exhibited in
the early part of the season must face
the fact that she is apt to be repeated
through the streets or at parties as
Though she were gazing into maze of
mirrors.
There are experts who say that the
remedy for this condition lies in the
hands of the American designers. They
dreds of gowns which are as agreeable
and satisfying to women as the French
models, there will be a chance for in
dividual dressing.
This sounds we'll, but there are great
difficulties in the way of establishing
1t as reliable theory. An American
designer who has made q remarkable
reputation for her clothes insists that
she does not design more than a dozen
models during a season and that she
hopes to sell a thousand gowns from
these models. There you are.
knowledge of Gowns Valuable.
The knowledge Of goWns-their sill
houettes, their fabrics, their various
movements-will be first aid to those
who are seeking not to be injured by
buying what they don't want. 1t is
not necessary to purchase a gown
merely because 1t strikes your fancy a;
1t is very good thing to see every
thing than can be arranged for your
inspection and then, out of all of them,
choose the one which you like the best
and which you think is the least apt
to be worn by all your neighbors. If
you don't mind this duplication on
every side, then buy the gown which
suits you, regardless of how often it
will appear.
But the main thing to remember is
that you must not be disappointed if

His Own Words.

With an idea of testing his pupils
knowledge of their mother tongue, a
Boston school teacher wrote on the
blackboard the well-known proverb, "a
wink is as good us a nod to blind
horse"
Then he told the class to rewrite
this saying, using their own words, but
retaining the original meaning of the
sentence.
One youngster wrote, "a spasmodic
