This is a vastly exciting time in th'
fashion zone. 1t is not alone exciting be-
cause women want new clothes for new
season. but for the more important rea-
son that commerce in this country is en-
tirely entangled in the industry OF
clothes.
A question as to what will be worn is
supposed to concern itself with woman s
vanity Never was there such a foolish
conclusion. The question OF what will
be worn is inextricably mixed Up with
in this country, and upon its judicious
adjustment depend the bread and butter.
the happiness and the ability to be free
from nervous depression of thousands of
mer too old or too young to fight and
thousands of women who have not the
leisure to offer their services to war re-
lief
It is a curious thing that the woman
who wants to know, even through an as
sumed indifference, whether her coat and
skirt are in fashion, should be so dense
~ ignorant Of the vast ramifcations
Of fashions into the innermost recess of
American life
There are hundreds of women who in
sist that they take no interest in clothes,
yet, they go quite wildly enthusiastic
over other subjects relating to domestic
economy which are not one-f1fth as i'm
portant to the success of this part of the
world. When one hears these women
talk, one Is impel1ed toward a vehement
recital of the links in this industry of
clothes, which join together nearly all
the women workers of the country.
What woman shall wear is probably
not as important as what woman shall
make but the two are parts of the cir
Gle, and both rise to the level of in
dustrial Importance which is occupied
by branches OF business with higher
sounding names and which are inter
preted by some as being vastly superior
to the question of style.
WHAT PARIS HAS DONE
1t, therefore, behooves a woman who
feels that the cut Of a gown is merely
an appeal to ones vanity, to regard the
situation of fashions, especially at this
time of the year, quite as seriously as
what shall eat, what one shall
invest extra money in, and how one
shall buy coal
No one laughs at fashions in Paris
No one takes them lightly. Everyone
regards them as a supreme branch OF
French industry that brings welfare to
millions. Each artist takes his or her
designs for new clothes under serious
consideration, and the state accords
them the merit or demerit that they de-
serve.
Now, what have these great designers
done for America this season? That is
the leading question among the shop.
keepers, the dressmakers, the millions Of
women workers in the industry of
clothes, the mills. the manufacturers, the
importers and the exporters
We know that the styles for the au-
tumn have been settled. but the masses
do not know what each designer has
done and what each great fashion es-
Enlistment has sponsored.
To begin with, Paul Poiret has again
opened his house, to show models That

The funeral customs Of the Swiss are
very peculiar. At the death of a person
the family inserts formal black-edged
announcement in the papers, asking for
sympathy. and stating that the mourn
ing urn will be exhibited during GER
tain hours on a special day. In front
of the house whore the person died there
is placed a little black table covered
with black cloth, on which stands a black
jar. Into this the friends of the family
drop little black margined visiting cards,
sometimes with a few words of sym
pathy on them. The urn is put on the
table on the day of the funeral. Only
men ever go to the churchyard and
they generally follow the hearse on foot.
