Editor the Missourian: The Open
Column letter headed "A Mans CD
Point of View" quite misunderstands
the editorial which it sought to an
swer, it seems to me. No sane and
honest person will deny that women's
dress is "unesthetic, unhygienic, i'm
practical. immodest and unecOnomic,
sometimes. The editorial admitted all
this and encouraged standardized
dress as tendency to betterment
Where R. R. draws the line between
uniform and a standardized dress
of one design is difficult of compre-
hension. The standardized dress
which l have heard advocated in CO.
lumbia is a uniform. just as a SOL
dier's clothing is styled a uniform,
though there is difference in color and
texture in his clothing, too.
l question very seriously whether
the twO-piece dress advocated by the
dress reformers is hygienic and of
good lines. The One-piece dress is
more comfortable, for the weight is
sustained from the shoulders, and
there is no binding band at the waist.
1t saves time and energy in dressing.
1t is more cleanly, because the gar
ment must and should be cleansed en-
tire. 1t allows of fully as free and
easy movement and there is less sur
plusage of material at the waist and /
hips. l am probably unscientific, |
but | speak from my own experience ,
with standardized clothing and with
other sorts of clothing. 1 am not ad-
vocating the one-piece dress as a uni
form but expressing my personal |
preference for it. To "the structure
and functioning" of my body the two
piece garment is not suited. NV 4
small store of scientific knowledge of
economic and social conditions con-
ends that mild changes and not revo-
utionary reforms will solve the prob
ems of fashions vagaries.
If the man whose point of view is
'eing expressed will strive to make a
mental picture of a 250-pound man
wearing a Norfolk suit anything but
ridiculous. he will understand my OBJ
ection to 200-pound woman wearing
he two-piece dress advocated.
Perhaps 1 may be pardoned for
milling at the objection that women's
ress shouldn't be a concession to
mems pleasure when the very next
aragraph comedies standardized
ress as necessary to modesty. Sci
speaking, is not modesty
he same sort of concession?

airly modern and sensible in dress.

impractical but undesirable. | have

TALKS ON THRIFT
A spenathrfPf Confegses.

A spendEfgriFt Confesses.
Most boys and girls, when 7 was in
school, used to laugh at those whose
chief aim was something besides hav-
ing the most fun that life offered.
Somehow. most of us looked down on
the boy who was known as a book
worm or a "tight-wad"
But, in the long run. which class OF
us had the most fun? I know, and
think YOU can guess after you read
this story.
[ call this tale the confession Of a
spendthrlfts not because I am one now,
or because I ever was an out and out
reckless spendeT. but because for 80
years l was on the edge of being one.
An orphan. I had a high school
training. earning il myself by carry
ing news papers
Some OF my sn0bbish acquaiutances
turned up their noses at me because
was "a paper boy" That made me
all the more envious of their lot. and
I'm ashamed 70 say that I aped them
in some Of their ways. so that the
money I earned which didn't go for
living expenses, went in having q
good time
But many time since have
thanked nay stars that hard work was
forced on me as d boy. I'm sorry for
any school hoy or girl who has no
work and no home duties.
They're avoiding hard knocks now.
but oh the blows that they'll get in the
FUTURE
So that was my recipe for happiness.
q little work and lots of funsi Some
of my companions had what they
thought was better one, no work and
all the fun that could be crowded into
a daytime
But there came a time, as you1l see.
when fun and happiness meant some
thing besides sport as we then knew it.
When I left school and went TO work
in earnest my pay was small At the
start, as that of everyone else Is at
the beginning. I kept my idea Of get
ting the most fun out Of life that it
offered
The good time" idea had got the
upper hand Of me, and it is easy to see
now that this was why my career sui
fered. ] failed, as so many young peo-
pie fail to save something regularly
out OF my salary.
I hadn't trained myself that way
when I was in school, and there had
been nobody else to train me,
knew that cut OF my earnings g
stated amount ought 10 be banked
each week, if ] was to be getting ahead
instead of always getting behind
But, somehow or other. the more
money I earned, the more uses had
for it; the more I earned. rhe more I
wanted. Il intend 20 save" I told
myself, t5ust as soon as I get rid Of
some Of these unusual expenses"
But that time never seemed to
come
made progress in the business
more quickly than most young men,
because. though I had not learned the
meaning Of that magic word, Thrift, I
had learned something about hard
work, and much as idled and wasted
time and money out of working hours,
I applied myself in the Office
