enthusiasm, the appeal for workers has gone into the byways and hedges of social life.
 The summer, therefore, is q season l to be filled with intense activity and great national grouping of women from every rank and file of human life on this continent, all met together un- der one flag
 This extraordinary condition con- meeting the buying of new clothes and the doiag of war relief work, appears to the apparel people in all the glory of an unexpected Christmas present.
 The city centers are humming with women on every kind of errand bent stopping at restaurants for lunch, shopping in the hottest days for new clothes to carry them through the ap- pointments of the next month; and the sewing rooms of those who make their gowns at home are busy preparing the increased number of blOuses skirts and underwear that this sudden call to arms has brought about
 The government of the United States steps in also as buyer of huge amounts. It is ordering clothes for the enlisted woman of the naval re- serve force. Already 1t has asked for 1 LOGO blue serge suits. smartly made, 2,00O white cotton drill suits, 1000 separate white skirts, 1000 straw hats, and another 1000 dark blue felt hats.
 Government Sets Styles.
 The tendency in all the new clothes is toward the silhouette adopted by the government for its enlisted women. Skirts are narrow and of reasonable length, blouses are simple, with wide turnover cOllalS of lace or white wash material, and jackets are short and made on a mannish model, depending on the cut for distinction.
 Those who do not care for suits are fitting out their wardrobes with cotton frocks. Even at the smartest hotels In the heart of great centers, fashion able women are appearing in checked ginghams with broad straw hats.
 This is fashion which has never been tolerated in the majority of great American cities. Such clothes have always been kept for the suburban towns and the country, and when a woman found it necessary to go on the street of great city during the heat of the day, she felt that tradition de- manded that she subject herself to the discomfort of a suit. She preferred to pass away from moisture in blue

 Now, the embargo on such costum- cry is lifted. The only one costume which is comfortable and Is yet taboo in city streets is the separate skirt with the white shirtwaist. There must be a coat or wrap of some kind to cover the sharp juxtaposition of two fabrics and two colors.
 One of the great Western houses re- ports that 1t has been necessary to provide the greatest amount of frocks and suits for war work for women dur ng this summer than ever before. The reason is the somersault in the sum- mer regime. Women will not spend their time these months of hot weather as they have done for cen tury.

War Activities
 Affect Clothes

New York.-War relief work has clothes industry. The dressmakers were not in a happy frame of mind during the spring. They felt as if ill luck were hitting them all along the line. There was an offensive against the center and the ends.
 First, there were the enormous prices that had to be paid to the French designers for the gowns that were sent to this country as inspira- tiOns for new work. Added to the prices was the serious danger of not being able to get the clothes that were ordered through the lack of transportation that came after this government dismissed the German am baSSador.
 The renewed activity of the subma- rine campaign was liable to make Mir. Glnty and French gowns comrades on the sands of the sea.
 When the prices had been paid by the dressmakeia for the spring gowns and the transportation had proved se- cure, America declared war, and the economy cry was raised.
 The dressmakers and the shopkeep- CTS who sell clothes had not had suf- ficient time to realize a profit on their vast expenses for French gowns in March, and the majority of them de- cided, possibly unwisely, that they would hold sweeping sales in order to clear out whatever they had before commerce. The shops were also com pelled to pay their salaries during this troublous time, and they believed that they could do this more easily by hold ing sales. They would get cash, and they would keep the workrooms busy by alterations.
 New Clothes for Quiet People.
 By the time a great many people who deal In women's apparel consid- cred themselves on the verge of nerv- ous prOstration through the strain of the spring, there came into the whole clothes situation gimmer of light that has broadened into strong ray of sunshine.
 It has created optimism in all quar- ters. It came through war relief ac- tivities. That seems an astounding thing to have happened, but it is an other phase of the proverb, 'It is an i'll wind that blows nobody good.'
 It makes an interesting chapter in
