and evening dress have said yes, and
thank you kindly" the very first tire
their lovers popped the question ca
mouflaged as gallant soldier boys.
Further proof of the effect that
ones personal appearance has on
ones morale also comes from the
front where we are told that even the
men in the trenches, who are forced
TO live in incredible filth, are urged to
shave every day and keep their uni
forms as clean as possible because 1t
bucks a man up and gives him cour-
age. Also we are told that the officers
find that they have more control over
their men and inspire more respect Il
they are always turned out spic and
span as If ON dress parade.
Certainly one finds it easy to be-
lieve this because 1t matches ones
own personal experience. All of us do
pay Difference to good clothes. All of
us are impressed by them and there
is not one of US who is not intangibly
braced up and given more courage by
feeling that we are suitably attired.
The first subtle indication that
man or a woman is slumping, that he
or she has let 60 and has given up
the fight is shown in his or her ap-
pearance. When > man ceases to
shave and black his shoes, when he
lets his trousers bag at the knees he
is on the toboggan slide. So is wo-
man when she leaves off her corsets
and takes to Mother Hubbards ano
floppy slippers and screws her hair
up into knot the size Of hickory
nut on the top of her head.
The man with a three days stubble
of beard on his face, and spotty
around to the back door and whine
out hard luck story. He will ask for
aims instead of work because he is
lazy and shiftIess and has lost cour-
age and determination. The man who
is clean shaver, whose clothes are
brushed and pressed, even II they are
threadbare, will look you in the eye
and ask for job, because he's still
got self respect and fight left in him.
He is braced up by knowing that he
doesn't look like bum.
So well recognized Is the effect of
ones clothes on ones attitude toward
life that the very first thing society
in this city for reclaiming men does
is to give them shoes with straight
heels. The psychologist at the head of
this charity claims that crooked and
run over heels always carry their
wearers down into the pit. l..
If clothes have sucn an effect on
mems characters, their effect on wo-
men Is infinitely greater, because
women are naturally more susceptible
to outside influences. Did you never
wonder why 1t is that the breakfast
table Is a dark and bloody battle
ground where family fights are fought

Fatn Justice and Truth WILL VIM but Not interpreted uian

proceeding on Information; in other
words, defendants have been taken
before court and charged in a sworn
information, instead OF presenting
their cases to the grand jury.
Attorney George French, in filing
a demurrer to an information brought
against a defendant arrested some
time ago, contends that the informa-
ton procedure is not proper, and
holds that liquor cases should be pre-
sented to the federal grand jury for
Investigation.
Shortly after he CAME here, Assist

ed a brief in which he pointed out

out to a finish, while the dinner table
is a place OF peace and cheer?
1t is because so many women come
to breakfast in sloppy. kimonos and
with frowsy boudoir caps concealing
their curl papers, and they are just as
slouchy morally as they are physical
~, while at dinner they have put on
their good manners with their good
clothes.
Every woman knows that she will
say and do things when she's got on
a soiled negligee that she wouldn't
dream of saying or doing II she had
on a satin evening gown.
It's the women with shawls over
their heads that quarrel over the back
fence and across elevator shafts.
It's the women who succumb to the
wrapper habit who cry instead Of
work, whose children run wild, and
whose families are fed out OF paper
bags.
The moral of all of which is that
we cannot afford to ignore the effect
our clothes have upon US. We are
what our clothes make US, because we
intuitively try to live up to them.
