1t was a real exposition Of practical
garments of all sorts, designed oy
Americans, for Americans, and nor
merely a competition between manu-
facturers to see which could exhibit
the most unusual, expensive and elab-
crate designs in women's apparel. The
garments were made to sell, not simply
Cor exhibition, and therefore one could
fudge from them the standards reached

II was q valuable and interesting ex-

There was a great deal Of interest In
the new service suits for women who
have taken up work usually done by
men-as work in factories, munitions
plants. gardens and the lighter farm
work. The suits are made with trou-
sers instead Of skirts and usually In
one piece with blouse. Several varie-
ties Of overalls were among them and
these warlady clothes proved more
slightly than the usual skirt and blouse
that are so prone to part company.
