ANOTHER CONSERVATION
MEASURE
A wise person ONCE said: "rhere
is always a way" and Dame Fashion
found it by combining materials Of
silk with wool to reduce the guam
fifty of the latter, in a dress to it's
minimum. And promptly to the res
cue came the loose flowing pannels
which are developed in wooden ma
terials, with the greater part Of the
dress. the waist, skirt and sleeves
developed in some silk or satin fab
ric. And. indeed, those panels are
quite the most graceful feature
sanctioned by fashion. They tend
to give long. slender lines to those
who have not that tendency in their
figures: in short they are an ideal
camouflage. The dress illustrated
is developed In navy blue serge with
black satin; a combination of high
esteem In the prevailing dictates Of

Assuming that the Japanese will
take responsibility for safeguarding

there is an apparent need that the
Americans provide for the operation
