New York.-The substitution Of one
idea for another as a form of regener-
ating, rejuvenating and re-arranging
the human brain, is as old as psychol-
ogy. It was practiced, AYERS leading
fashion critic, probably, long before the
word was invented. 1t is one Of the
worlds fundamental creeds, moral,
physical and mental; and when some
OF the religionists got hold Of 1t as a
new doctrine, they were only exploit
ing what began before the Pyramids.
In the early part of the war, those
who were not clever in the art, de-
plored the extraordinary skill Of the
Germans in being able to control the
masses by deliberately substituting a
new idea, covered up by a phrase and
hammered in by reiteration. They are
doing it today, and so far it has never
failed them with their own people.
They use the word defensive" instead
Of ''to conquer"
America is going through many
phases today, probably the most pow
erful in her career, which have come
about through the substitution in her
composite brain of one national idea
for another. And the work filters down
through crevices until it seeps through
the strata of underlying, and seeming
ly Insignificant, by-products Of our ma
tional life.
1t is this seepage down to dress
which is the point Of this preface. One
idea has been substituted for another.
With all the critics against its success,
the psychologists watch with interest
the public playing into the hands of
those who started the idea.
Today American labels are put into
French gowns. This is not a wild
statement. It is done at some of the
best houses. ManneQuins will come in
wearing frocks which the public is told
are the designs of the house itself, and
these models are sold to shops and
lesser dressmakers and pass through
cut the country as the creations of an
American designer. They were really
made In France, brought to this coun-
try by importers, copied verbatim, and
turned out as American creations.
That is not honest; but that Is not
exactly the point Of this particular
story. The extreme interest centers in
the fact that the substitution Of one
idea for another In the national brain
has compelled or persuaded the trade
to offer to the public whatever it can
that bears an American stamp.

The japanese toddle has already be-
come the walk of the moment among
the mannequins. They caused i'm
mense amusement at the exhibitions Of
gowns, because they exaggerated it
with none of the equally laughable ma
jesty that the French mannequins have
assumed for a decade.
We have no Marquis or Audreys in
this country, but we have our Dolores
and Josephines Of the immediate past
and our Mabels and Madelines and
Marguerites of the present; so we get
all the gestures that go with the new
gowns. 1t makes an exhibition Of
clothes quite worth while seeing. 1t is
these mannequins who have introduced
the japanese toddle, and II is a neces-
sity If one would walk In some Of the
long, draped skirts that pull at the
ankles.

1t has also added the turned-up cuff,
and some Of the really smart frocks
that are turned out have this cuff

the line Of the'tube effect and is quite
good. 1t is made of peltry or of a
cloth different from that which
makes the skirt, and ii is often faced

Whatever else these skirts may do,
they have made the skirt with

It was exceedingly light. To strike a

At 1870 o'clock 124 votes had been
cast at the Old Normal School. the
Sixth precinct. It was expected that
It would not run more than 200 out

understood that the count OF the hrst
sixty-eisht votes showed that Col
Watson had A and Major Elkins "a.
