tnag is worthy and merely dull.
Silk makes her witty and gay and
generous; wool, wise and eeono1ni-
cal.
Be happy and you'll be good;
much of the unhappiness in the
world is because women will wear
wool
The whole thing is illustrated
by the fact that the Puritans wore
dull-hued wooden clothes when
they wished to show protest
against the Cavaliers, and again,
later, when the nineteenth-eentury
Victorian women smugly set out
to show good examples" and hold
up to pious wrath the wicked
ways of their immediate ancestors
Of the eighteenth century and En-
pire days, they wore wool next to
the skin" long-clOth of durability,
wincey for everyday wear, heavy
velveteens and fiereely thick silk
for Sunday.
Why, even you and I remember
when silk Undertaking or even
very, very fine lawn and ribbon
was supposed to be-well, shall we
say French?
If you are i'll wear silk, it is the
best medicine. You look well in
it, therefore you are well.
81 went to see Vera the other
day." a woman said to me only
yesterday; "she is not nearly so i'll
as 1 thought 1 should find her.
She was wearing a beautiful crepe
de chine nightdress and a most be-
coming bed-cap, and the silk COW
erlet to her bed was quite a thing
to dream of. Oh, 1 think she Is
really quite well"
Now suppose that she had been
found wearing a red flannel dress
ing-jaeket over one of those awful
calico nightdresses trimmed" with
embroidery and herring-bone
stitch, and was further borne
down by the weight of a knitted
cotton eounterpane and Paisley
patterned eiderdown. The poor
creature would have been in a
dying state, Of counsel
Silk is comparatively cheap,
therefore eeonomical-the Army
only wants the Japanese variety
for some sort of body shields, so
it is the proper wear, and Pm GO
ing to wear it right away through.
