"After-the-War" DRESSING.

Discussion of the "after-the-war pc
Rod" is becoming more general, some
believing that it is too early to predict
what effect victory will have on
women and their mode Of living. One
routourier predicts that the most elab-
orate things will be made and women
should wear them as an expression Of
victory. BanQuets and receptions In
honor Of foreign visitors and our, re-
turning men will demand such clothes,
and it is really up to the women to
heal their heartaches as best they can
and lift the spirit Of the country. The
English women have been doing this
for some time; they have avoided
mourning and are creating as gay
note as possible in London.-Women's
