on the market for the colonel's lady
and Judy O'Grady, so that they may
become sisters in their attire as well
as under their skins. reach us from
time to time through the sections of
the daily press devoted to women's
affairs
Sometimes the arguments are quite
learned. The French revolution is
freely quoted as being the event final
ly responsible for the Standardization
of mems dress. To be sure, one of the
first things that Napoleon did, when
he reached the position of being able
to set the fashion. was to make mems
clothes as gorgeous and as complex
as they had been before the abolition
of the Bourbons. But the effect did
not last long. Sans culottism" had
taken too firm a hold on mems affec-
tons. They soon went back to that
dignified but ugly garment, the long
trousers, and they have remained
faithful to them ever since.

that women as a whole are rested by
a change of occupation. So the bust
ness woman, on her return from her
office. is quite willing to sit down to
stocking darning. so that she may
continue to wear threadbare hose
in which her heart delights: she sits
up late to run ribbons in her lingerie:
she will wash out and iron her own
neckwear in order that she may make
her serge suit or frock more becom-
ing by softening it withfrills at the
throat. Did any one ever hear of the.
man who washed his own collars? He
will polish his own shoes-traditiop
says that he will perform this opera-
ton more willingly and oftener than
any woman; he will brush his clothes
but there his sartorial measures of
preparedness end. So he is naturally
restricted to a form of garment which
is easily kept in order.
Another reason is the average mans
absolute insensibility to changes in
temperature-at least from the Wom-
ans point of view. He declares that
there is a vast difference in warmth
between his winter-weight blue serge
and his summer-weight, but no wom-
an can see it, To her he is mystery

never bothered much about It. A doc

always be more variety in women's

women as a whole will continue to
be more preoccupied with the Ques-

clothed.
One reason for the continuance of

THE Standardization of women's

They concede the fact that the
manifold occupations which the war
has opened to women may. and prob
ably will. do a great deal toward
breaking down the prejudice which
has hitherto existed against the be-
trayal of. ones profession in ones
dress. One of the salient features of
our metropolitan life is that all the
shopgirls and stenographers try to
look like women of leisure; that the
maid will ape the mistress on her

they went out looking for ostrich

made them into trimming for chiffon

full exotic flowers for corsage bou-

to the original and edged the tops Of
boots with them. Rodier, the great
fabric manufacturer. who watches all
the straws, as carefully as any de-
signer, took them for the model of
one of his new fall fabrics. Ostrich
feathers were launched, and they are

of our autumn clothes.
The theater guides fashion in
France, to be sure, but there is, little

such a large place in our hearts, is

New York to attempt to do the same
thing, in the same degree, would be
to foredoom the effort to failure. New
York might influence fashions. prob
ably would play greater part in
their determination and selection

hemisphere; but that New York

impossibility.
