The Trench MuMer.
Thousands Of women have struggled
over the knitting of the trench muf-
fer. SO 1t is no wonder that they turn turn
to 1t as q means OF advancing a new
fashion for themselves. 1t IS this type

and not protection. They expose the
neck and chest in long. V-shaped
opening. They are embroidered and
fringed in a manner far more beloved
by our Indian warriors than by our
1918 fighters.
Struggle Against High Collars.
Fastidious women are mounting
their neckwear nearer and nearer the
chin, but against their verdict is the
struggle Of the majority who will not
accept uncomfortable neck coverings
for uncommonly uncomfortable sum-
mers We have gone SO long with our
necks free that we feel choked ana
muff1ed when we extend our collars
to the tips of our ears. It is no use
protesting that these collars are no
longer tightly boned or that they DO
not grip the neck like wise; the OBJ
jectionable thing is in the feeling OF
fabric around the jugular veins.
It is, therefore, with the majority
that the struggle goes on as to what
kind Of open neck is best suited to
the costumery of the hour. Fashion
calls for the oblong opening of the
Italian renaissance. and tradition
calls for the V-shaped opening that is
unusually becoming to the Anglo
Saxon face.
Wedged in between these two is the
smart and popular fashion Of the
deep, square neck. This decolletage is
SO commonly worn in the afternoon
that one begins to feel that 1t Is a
bit Of bravado on the part of women
who have been told that the deeply
low gown for evening Ia not in the
very best taste.

Maj. Pullman, ovrhearinE this argu-

Those who deal in women's apparel
Co not care for a season in which parts
of clothes are permitted to be assem-

gard for the artistic result. There are
fastidious women who will always in
sist that a gown should not have two
kinds Of collars, nor a jacket two kinds
Of blouses, nor a frock moro than one
kind of covering. They say that each
of these parts should be chosen to mt

mechanical perfection. to make

Once upon a time. women quite
adored the firm foundation Of an at
tenuated frock upon which they could
heap a variety of collars. sashes. un-

advised that they have great opportunity
for rendering the government valuable
service in inducing their patro ms to invest
