Women have never taken kindly
to the wearing of a uniform. EN-
ployers who have tried to regulate
the attire of their saleswomen by re-
quiring simple black dresses, and
mistresses who have insisted on cap
and apron for maids have had
their difficulties owing to the reluc-
tance of women to adopt any garb that
sets them apart as a class. The over
dressed girls in offices and behind
counters, who are wonderfully coiffed
and bangled, are striving to get away
from the appearance of being en-
ployed and to look as if they had un-
limited leisure and money. The dea-
coness and the nurse only have not
resented the distinguishing mark of
their profession-in the case of the
nurse this may he because the girl
who is commonplace enough not to
win a second glance in her street
clothes takes on a certain comelness
akin to beauty in her uniform. Pos
sibly this is because we associate her
dress with her mission of ministry
and mercy; perhaps not The fact
remains. and is often remarked
