Can You Dress
On $125 a Year?

New YOrK.-SinCe the days of the
Roosevelt administration in Washing
ton depressing statements have come
from the social center anent the cost
Of being we'll dressed. Depressing for
the reason that they were 50 appall-
ingly low. Nothing SO produces dis
cOuragement in humans, writes Il fash
ion authority, as to be told that they
should and can accomplish Il desired
result on n sum Of money that they
consider almost too small for the pre-
liminariea.
You as = woma know hat full well.
What would reduce you to greater rage
or a feeling Of utter hOpeleSsnesS than
to be told by the head of the family
Of the amazing achievements of an
other woman In regard to money, to
clothes, and to food?
You have done your best with your
allowance, Of that you are sure. Such
is the feeling that surges in every
woman's mind and heart when Wash
ineton informs us, infrequently, what
can be done in III own chosen line Of
work at a slight expenditure of money.
Now, when observation-disclosures

giving up the whole problem of how to
look we'll on little. The total yearly
allowance for dress Of these women

phrase belongs with the statistics) is
$l25 a year. Can you do II?

and furthermore, as idlers are rare
these days, the budget may be taken
rs intended for the average woman.
No one includes the millionaire in any
form OF appeal, information, or advice
TO women on the matter Of clothes.
That Uncorseted Figure.
Figures belong TO the individual, but
fashions to the multitude therefore 1t
is easier To be dictatorial about the
latter than the former. The law is
better established; the mathematical
average has no part. Fashions are, or
they are not. They are launched even
if they DO not succeed; and the ex-
Ceeding interest In them is often
caused By the great gamble which "a
connected with them.
The directoire inspiration in the I'M
corseted figure is g gamble, roughly
speaking. 1t was launched some
months ago, but the public thought it
n Of those reviyals that rarely get
beyond the salons Of the extreme de-
signerS. Yet this inspiration has sur
vived the months, and 1t grows in
fashion, if not in grace. We call 1t
directOire merely because that epoch
in dress exploited it, along with n host
Of other fashions that were taken up
In the name of classic" 1t started as
a reaction from the furbelows Of the
pre-Revolutionary time, as worn by
Marie Antoinette. 1t was called the
Greek costume, and the historians tell
us that 1t came about through the
attempt Of two famous young sculptors
to cut q pattern for such a robe for a
stout and matronly "mere de famille,"
who insisted upon 1t.
The clinging effect OF the skirts Is
as strongly accentuated now as then,
and we, like the women Of that day,
have discarded the chemise; yet it
must be quickly said that we use a
substitute. We are not going in for
the transparent drapcry without q
lining. No scandals like those of Nine.
Hamelin's day for US!
All Skirts Must Cling.
No imposed drapery on the skirt of
this winter is permitted to give it bulk
or bullying curves. Lines must follow
those Of the body. In SO much have
we adopted the classic. Therefore
soft materials are preferred. Satin,
panne velvet and chiffon velvet are

chosen more than other fabrics fol
those frOcks.
Chiffon itself has taken a second or
third place, and dyed lace is pushed
forward as q substitute. Even cream
lace is revived for entire frocks, but
it does not have the prestige Of gray
or brown. Both these colors are draped
over tulle or satin in the same or q
contrasting color.
The odd feature about this revival

Toned In this manner, and there are
combinations Of velours and soft flu,
that are put together like a cuirass

Heavy furs are worn that give sufi-
Client protection in the open. And this
verdict for peltry placed on peltry
pleases the public. Some women look
like pack-mules with an overload.

piece dress, or q dress waist worn with
a suit may be substituted for an eve,
ming dress. or a winter coat may be
worn for three seasons, or an evening
dress for three or four years. In view
OF the range of choice, 1t appears that
a woman may reasonably be expected
to secure outside clothing for a good
appearance at an expenditure Of from
$40 to SIS.
A regards articles of dress other
than outside clothing, the necessary
expenditures would be distributed
roughly rs follows: Hats, $40 to SIS;
shoes, $12 to $17: gloves. $3.50 to $5
stockings, So to 81; corsets. So to So;
underwear, So TO $40; and miscella-
neous, approximately $40. Allowing for
individual variation In prices and
choice, this means an annual expendi-
ture Of from $50 to SEQ for these ar
ticles. which as a rule have to be re-
placed each year.
Combining these two amounts-out-
side clothing $40 to $75, and other
articles of dress $50 to $60--the total
yearly expenditure would range from
$40 to $135. averaging approximately,

SURVEY PARTIES NEEDED
BY CONSTRUCTION DIVISION
Positions are in Civil, Not Military
Service.

Position. are in Civil, Not Military
Service.
Washington, Nov. THE Con-
struction Division of the Army is
without doubt the most extensive
organization of it's kind in the his
tory of the world. The approximate
value of constructor projects under
taken by this branch of the govern
ment since the United States enter
ed the war is one billion dollars.
The figures representing the mater
ials used and the men employed are
staggering. Two hundred and fifty
thousand workmen have been under
the control of the division at one
time.
Among the Divisions present urg-
ent needs are so chief of surre~
party at $2,700 to $4,000 a year;
so transit men at s2,400 year; 25
level men at s2,10O a wear; 125 rod
men at $1,000 a wear, and so topo-
graphic craftsmen at $2,100 year.
These positions are open to men only
except the drafting positions, which
are open to both men and women.
All of the positions are in the civil
and not the military service.
Persons interested should apply to
the the Civil Service Commission,
Washington, D. c., or to the Secre-
tary of civil service examiners at
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, At
lanta, Cincinnati, Chicago, st. Paul,
St. Louis, New Orleans, Seattle or
San Francisco.
Applicants will not be required
to undergo a written examination
the examination being of the "non-
assembled" type; that is, the ratings
will be based upon education, train
ing, experience and physical ability
as shown by the applications and cor
roborative evidence. The positions
offer an excellent opportunity for
patriotic service, and the Civil Ser
vice Commission urges qualified per-
sons To- apply without delya. ,--,,r..--.-

No American May Refuse, y
Cardinal Gibbons SAYS

James Cardinal Gibbons, the
leading Catholic churchman In
America, has issued a strong ap-
peal In support Of the United War
Work Campaign.
1T Is an American campaign" he
said. ats appeal is one that no
American may refuse. Americas
answer will be another triumphant
announcement that we are In this
war as one people and as one ma
ton to see it through to victory.
Into the splendid work Of sustain
ing the morale Of our fighting men
the great social organizations OF
America have thrown themselves.
The American people will raise the
sum they ask-generously and
gladly"
