!. IT'S Y, OFTEN VERY DRY ON MONDAY

/. There has always been much dryness in Mon
day. 50 that when 26 "drunks" turn up in police
court, the first legally dry" Monday in dry"
Detroit, "dry" Michigan, it's psychologically in
teresting.
The 'drunks" explained that they had over
INDUCED, unpremeditatedly and without malice
against the law, in near-beer. This would indi-
cate discovery of new excuse, if not of q new
intoxicant. tf
&: The court fined each culprit IS. Such leniency
would indicate judicial sympathy for folks who
could become thoroughly "soused" on near-beer.
However, whatever the nearness Of Detroit's
beer, record Of only 26 'drunks" on Monday
morning ought to have cheer in it for great city
like Michigan's metropolis.

JUST A WOMAN

Hurrah for you and your well deserved knock

Smart ideas" myself. ! agree with you wholly
in your opinion that war time is time for these
clothes fripperes and nothing so rouses my ire
as the perusal Of copy Of Vogue or Vanity Fair.
But the country is full Of selfish women, includ-
ing large groups of readers who demand their
fashions though the heavens fall, and the smarter
and more extravagant they are the better they
are pleased Only about five per cent Of Ameri-
can women are able to dress as Vogue advises
but rs per cent WANT to.
Remember, women are just emerging from
their intellectual dark ages" and millions Of 'e
still see the pursuit and capture Of = husband as
the end and aim of life And clothes seem the
simplest and most infallible method Of attaining
that end.
A queer fact Of feminine psychology is that
even women who cannot afford beautiful clothes
and do not even sincerely WANT them are still
interested in hearing about and seeing the fine
feathers Of other women. Pink chiffon may give
way to blue serge tailor mades without much hon
est regret, but lurking love Of pink chiffon re-
mains in those who have forever forsworn it.
