that nothing new could be originated
in the matter Of concealing the actual

body, the bodice tied in the back made
its first appearance, says the New
York Evening Sun.
The advantage of it rested in it's
possibilities for both the slim and the
stout. Either figure could make use
of it, because it virtually covered up
whatever there was. Its careless wrin-
kles suggested grace even where grace
there was not. They left the observer
wondering whether thinness or full

Six Shades of Red to Lead, 1t Is
Officially Announced.
S0MBER TONES MAY PREVAIL
Manufacturers Think War Will Cause
American Women to Choose Dull
Clothes Though They May

New YOrk.-The manufacturers are
exhibiting their usual interest in the
colors which may come into fashion
next autumn.
To the layman, this forehandedness
seems to be vitality wasted, but the
now is the appointed hour to look with
sharpened eyes into the near future.
Merchandise is a stupendOus bulk
of material that quickly goes into profit
or loss. 1t makes or mars a merchant
and affects thousands who owe to his
Cleverness their chance to live in com
fort. If he does not look ahead with
an eye and mind trained to take into
account every minor and major hap
pening, and every shadow of coming
events, he goes down into debt and
carries the thousands with him. When
those who are more interested than
ever before in the production of wom-
ans apparel because of the strain
caused by the war and the feeling of
false economy, say among themselves
that this color and that fabric will
have no chance for popularity next
winter, then they decide q mOmentouS
Issue.
They realize that the public must be
induced to buy while the buying is
good; while it can make use of the
pieces of merchandise that exist and
which may soon cease to be worth
while. The public, itself, wants to
know the prospects for the success of
every garment. If its service is to be
Of short duration, then wisdom dictates
that it must be made to yield every
ounce of service now.
Many of us would willingly buy a
garment, or a piece of cloth, if we
were candidly told that it would not
serve us long but that it would last
for another three months, giving that
as the reason for its reduction from
the original price. But we feel cheat.

something that was supposedly rising

In the way of clothes before they have
given US value for money expended

The hue and cry raised against this
national practice by those who are
always trying to adjust the lives Of
