Horses are heavy, slow animals, aS

horses in Germany, no good race
horses at all But the people go 70

They do not dress for the events az
they would in England or America
In fact they do not dress Tor any
events. I have not seen deco ollette
gown in Berlin for two years. NeitheI
have l seen much jewelry among inc
former wealthy class Women WnC
are shopkeepers, now have more
money than the society women.
There is a lot of graft In shop
keeping and in Germany as In every
other country, there always are
those who make of others misfoT'
tunes, their own profits
attended grand opera several
times in Berlin and saw practcalN
no jewelry and no rich dressing
Hundreds of women wore shirtwaist'
and skirts and even those who
dressed the best, wore what woulc
have been considered simple after
noon dresses before the war.
When left Germany, the women o
the wealthy class were trying to in
stitute a reform" dress. 1t was one
piece, falling from the shoulders, witt
a belt which. tied. and had neither
hooks nor eyes, buttons or clasps. l
