1t is better to use newspaper for

In talking to a dressmaker OF Inn
portance, whose bills to the rich wom-
en- run into thousands each season,
anent this current topic of economy
in clothes, she said that she had found
less economy among all classes than
q strong desire to wear clothes that
did not express money.
Simplicity might be very costly, as
we all know, was her further eXplana-
ton, and women were paying sood
prices for their summer apparel, but
they made strong demand that it
should take upon itself the appear
ance of costing little.
A black satin dinner frock, FOR IN
stance, built In draped lines, with n
bit of good lace at the neck, or merely
q distinctive turnover collar OF black
and white tulle arranged in modest
decoiletage, may have cost as much
as IA black and gold brocade of last
season, trimmed with tulle and metal
and draped in a daring way that TO-
cused the attention. But the erect
OF economy was there.
The majority of women think that
any undue display of apparel is in bad
taste They feel that the amount OF
money they pay for their clothes is a
private and personal matter but that
any visible and outward display of tho
high cost of the gown is public mat
ter, and one that the public has a
right to criticize
The question of food is handled In
much the same way. If you'have been
to any one of the t<-ee-cOurse dinners
given by the rich women of the coun-
try. you may have had to go home
r-.. a ,ftat 20 tln
gestion.
There are three courses; against
that there is no discussion. The guam
tity OF food that can be put into three
courses forms the interesting part or
this subject. but, mind you, the food
IS not expensive and it Is not elabo-
rately prepared. The effect on the one
who dimes is thaf the inner man Is
satisfied with nourlshins food per-
cooked.
Onions and potatoes may cost a
good deal: rice may have gone up in
price; chops may be much higher than
mushrooms with n French sauce; but
who can gainsay the effect of severe
simplicity in the serving of this type
OF food?
Just what the women who serve
three courses have done to their cook
cry is what the women OF wealth have
done to their clothes
Refuse to Pay High Prices.
After the first hysteria OF war
economy was over, women saw its fool
ishness in regard to apparel. few
facts sufficed to give them differen:
ALTITUDE.
When several dozen seamstresses
had their engagements Cancelled for
the spring seasos were at Their
wits end to know how to pay the rent
and get food, the women who engaged
these seamstresses to come to their
houses each season, quickly saw that
II was better to pay wages than TO
give to charity.
When hundreds of gowns were
thrown back on dressmakers' hands
on the plea that there would be no
money to pay for such extravaganza
and the dressmakers were compelled
TO hold sweeping sales that underval-
ued whatever clothes the rich women
had already bought, new idea con-

across the face of the glass. \ clever
idea as worked out by smart interior
decorator is to use garlands of ar j.
ficial flowers on mirrors. She loops
these symmetrically across the face of
the mirror, holding them in place in
visibly at the sides of the frame aHd
sometimes looping the center of the
garland up to the top of the frame.
The flowers in each garland are of
several colors and the effect Is very
cheerful and attractive There IL n

decorations for an Informal summer
wedding Garlands of real flowers
might be substituted for those Of ar

buy little pepper mills In this country,
and they range in price from so cents

over the price they have to pay for
this common article, and women are
wondering. in high amusement, If II
will soon be necessary to revert to the
medieval fashion of plating the hair
down the back and winding n ribbon
thru 1t.
The hairdressers however. have an
other idea to suggest, which Is for
women to adopt the ultra fashionable
method Of bobbing the hair. Fully
two dozen OF the most fashionable
women in New York society have
adopted this coiffure of short curled
hair, la bebe, as the French call IT.
and the hairdressers say that If 1t is
universally adopted 1t will bring more
money to their purses than they have
made In years.

No Restricted Wardrobcs.

1t Is interesting to know that Ger
many is the first of the belligercnts
to put a restriction on the amount of
wearing apparel for each person. The
Imperial clothing office has fixed the
amount of garments that each man
or woman may buy or possess during
the year. This office also limits the
amount OF material which may be used
in the making of a gown or II suit.
No one may purchase yard of ma
terial or n single garment without a
special permit.
1t is also interesting to know what
imperial Germany thinks is sufficient
in the way of clothing for one woman.
Two everyday frocks, one Sunday
frock, one separate skirt, two blouses,
one coat or cape, one shawl, one dress
ing gown, three aprons, one pair OF
gloves, IL half dozen handkerchiefs,
four chemises, three nightgowns, three
combinations or boomers, three petit
coats and four pairs of stockings.

directions; 1t kept the workers en-
ployed and gave them sufficient money
on which to live, and it did not offend
the public. No one wants to appear
frivolous or unthinking in a crisis like
this. When women are dressed In gold
or silver, in ieweled trappings and In
precious gems. that vast public that is
thinking only of how to live and how
to sacrifice might begin to murmur
those terrible sentences of the French
people in the revolution,
There is every reason to economizs
In food. If we believe the alarmists
the nation faces famine. Even If we
are optimists, we know that the
scarcity of food is genuine and that we
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1917-06-17

must do our part to cut down our
ratlons.
Wanton wastefulncss In the kitchen
is today a sin against the country. 1t
is unpatriotic; it is selfish almost TO
the point of traitorous.
But there is no scarcity of fabrics
for clothes. There are 25O,0 workers
in New York alone dependent upon
the continuance of the purchasing of
apparel. Women need not ecopomize
in this department: they should not
economize. for that in itself is a grave
! justice to the workers. But there are
two things they should do, and do
them with firmness and sanity, they
should absolutely refuse to pay the
absurd and unjust prices of some
dressmakers, and they should refuse to
dress in u gorgeous and unseemly
manner.
A woman confessed the other day
that she almost had hysteria when
she received "A bill for $3.50 for a crepe
de chine afternoon gown on the DAY
that this country declared war. The
wise comment on that was that she
should have hysteria on any day or
her life {" incur such "A bill There was
no sanity or justice in asking that
price for that kind OF frock.
A dancer who had just paid 5000
for "A gown in which to do specially
under the flags OF the nations. was
caustically reminded that she should
better have given the 5000 to the men
under the flags.
1t is told OF General Joffre that,
when he had looked at all the mag
nificent decorations in American cities
in his honor, he said sadly to one Of
his intimates. How many mouths that
money would have fed in France"
1t sthe appearance of extravaganza.
therefore, that women should avoid
In these times of stress. Let them
spend as literally for apparel as they
can afford, but let all women follow
the lead of the wealthy and conserva-
tive set and see to it that their clothes
reflect this great hour in dignity, scri-
BUSINESS and simplicity.

cerning economy was born In the
brains of wealthy women.
The second movement on the part Of
masses of women was then directed
toward providing money for those who
worked, and at the same time elimi-
mating the appearance of waste and
extravaganza.
