Every once IN a while fashion die
tators of today go back to some
long-ago period Of the worlds his
tory for inspiration, and then 1t is
discovered that fashions in wearing
apparel are about as old as any
thing that has been handed down
TO us. Even the ancient Egyptians
had definite and decided ideas about
dress, and the ladies who lived in
the neighborhood of the River Nile
were quite as accustomed TO take
thought concerning the length and
width of their skirts, the size and
shape Of their sleeves and the man
ner Of arranging the drapery and
girdles Of their gowns, as are follow
ers OF fashion Of these times in the
large cities of Egypt and other
countries.
To get the best idea of the styles
prevalent in ancient Egypt, how
ever. one must needs have recourse
TO the departments Of art mus ums.
wherein treasures from that LAM
are cherished. The frst garment
which one notices on the oldest of
the wall decorations, pictH-ing the
people and their various activities,
is extremely scanty. consisting. in
fact, of nothing but a piece Of cloth,
presuma bly, linen, tied around the
nips. the ends being knotted in
front. Soon, however, this seems TO
have been expanded into a rather
long, high-waisted skirt by no
means a vOluminous article Of ap-
parel. but certainly more of pro-
lection and an Ornament-which a
certain old encyclopaedia has de-
scribed as the two functions Of dress
than the former girdle. II was
not long before the idea Of orna-
this skirt appeared in a finely pleat-
ed form. Necklaces of brightly
col0red beads completed the cos
tune. These frequently were fin
ished off with large pendants. en-
graved with various designs, that Of
the beetle being the most popular.
For the most part. this early one
piece costume, as it might be de-
scribed, was on the order Of the
n
fashion authorities not so many
years go: il was held i'm place by
straps over the shoulders or else by
a high belt The most common
costume was Of plain cloth, cut as
scantily as possible. and generally
white. although, so the anti-quar-
ians tell US, they were sometimes
edged with colored braids or fringes
or fastened on by means Of straps of
coIored materials. Occasionally
they say. these white gowns were
varied by robes of green. red or
We .ow. In addition 20 their neck
laces. they wore bracelets, armlets
and anklets Of beads. blue and green
being favorite color schemes for
these.
Mems costumes are said 10 have
been much more elaborate and full
Of color than the women's In those

sheath-like, more economical earb
affected by the women.
IT has been said that. in ancient
Egypt. rs in other lands AZ later
dates. the royalty end nobility and
other leaders set the styles. chang

After a time these first severely
plain skirts became elaborated by
bands o. decoration. the designs Of
birds, leaves, etc, being sometimes
painted on. sometimes outlined in

Health, By-P roduct Of
Patriotism

We are all cutting down our meals
and eating smaller portions Of the
foods that must be saved. We are
not doing this for better health,
but in this case good health is one
of the by-products of patriotism. It
is true already that a better ma
tional health is coming as a result
of our voluntary restrictions in diet
in order to "eat at a common ia
bic" with the allies.
1t goes around in circie,-pa-
triotism. less food, better health,
more patriotism.
This cutting down of food is not
going 10 make us thin and weak,
perhaps the majority Of Americans
have always eaten too much. Doing
without rich desserts to save sugar
will cure many cases of indisest-
ion. as will also the giving up Of
frequent afternoon teas.
Cutting down on meat has had a
beneficial effect on many people.
II has meant fewer dull headaches
and fewer diseases caused b. a sys-
tem overloaded with protein foods.
Get that patriotic feeling that for
your country you must cut down
your diet. Then naturally viii

physical welI-being. and you viii
find that you have enough new en-
erey 10 be a better patriot and work

MUNICIPAL COURT
Phiiias Oostc Gets Suspended Jail
Sentence for Refusing to Work.

Philias Dostie, aged 16 years, was
before the municipal court Thursday
morning on complaint Of his father,
Archilas Dostie. that the boy was
idle and refused to work, the truth
Of which charge the boy admitted.
The boy had been locked up at the
police station Wednesday afternoon
and kept over night. which may have
had something to do with his de-
cision when the court reminded him
that he could be sent to Jail on the
charge on which he had been ar
rested. From the story which he
told the court. the boys home was
not all that could be desired. but
that was not considered by the court
sufficient reason for the boy refusing
to work. and he was given SEN
tence of 80 days in Jail. This was.
however. suspended on condition that
the boy seek some employment at once
which he promised to do, but the
sentence still hangs over him.
