WELL-PAID WOMEN
BUY NEW CLOTHES

New York.-A wounded Anzac had
come to America to lecture. He bore
some honorable scars on his body,
which were symbolized by stripes on
his arm. A woman touched the stripes
and asked what were his worst wounds.
He described one, which was a clean
hole made by bullet. In his informal
Anzac manner, he asked If she would
like to see it. She would. So would
everyone else at the luncheon. So he
showed her the bullet hole below the
collar bone.
"How very disappointing! she ex-
claimed. Il expected great cash."
The Anzac buttoned his collar
thoughtfully, and turning to the table
said: "Now, ask you, what are we
going to do, with women if they begin
to expect so much of men in this war?"
And what will they do with them?
Men have begun to expect so much of
themselves, that the situation is the
most vitality interesting thing on this
planet, next to the war, observes a dis
tinguished fashion writer.
this war than they ever demanded, that
many are puzzled and some are near
hysterical.
Once we were contented race; then
we became an unquiet sex; then we
became a restless force; and then we
became a militant power.
Those with the keenest visions saw
ahead of them long struggle. They
outlined the propaga ada of self-educa-
ton for women; they lectured to men
and of men concerning what we should
have in the way of industry and COM
mercial opportunity. Whenever men
said that we were not sufficiently edu-
Gated to take over the commercial bur-
dens of the world, we retorted that we
would never be educated if we did not
begin to study.
Women Spend More Money.
OF one thing the prophets are sure
that women, making money, will spend
more. Not having to ask for it, they
will cease to be petulant about it.
When woman knows there are three
thousand jobs open to her and that
she can command as good salary as
the man she sent to war, she is not
going to be niggardly about getting
new clothes, enjoying herself and re-
| furnishing her house.
Human nature never changes, no
matter what else changes on this plan

The vogue for applique trimming

through their service in paying posi-
tions, but in war relief work.
1t is the growing demand for eve
ming clothes by women who have here
tofore never INDUCED in them. We
are only following in the footsteps of
human nature as it has asserted itself
in France and England during the last
eighteen months. Paris has shown an
extraordinary interest in this develop
ment, and the London thinkers and
merchants have found it to be an en-
crossing by-product of the war.
Evening dress has always been a
thing for the luxurious. 1t has been
INDUCED in by those whose lives were
more or less given to leisure. Millions
Of women have not considered it nee
essary to change their somber street
clothes into low or half-low, fragile
ones for the evening meal or evening
gayetieS. The street suit, with a few
changes, has served during the waking
hours. The shirtwaist and sport skirt
have filed in the rest of the service
needed.
But this condition no longer exists
in Europe, and it has changed in Amer
lea in the twinkling of an eye. Why?
Women have more money; they have
more opportunities; industry, charity,
war relief, hospital service and com
mittee work have brought women from
the depths of social obscurity into
hourly contact with those who lead
fashions and live leisurely lives.
All Of this has lifted the art OF
dress instead of degrading it. 1t en-
livens life; it brightens the prospect
of our sacrifices; it is a light to oul
endurance.
There were days when a woman
used her motor coat for any chance
evening gayety. Today she is asking
for one of the vast assemblage of eve
ming capes that the shops and dress
makers offer to this new type OF
buyer.
These new wraps have extraordinar!

seems as II an aerial regatta were be-

Once the swans are under way,
their speed is amazing. nearly 100
miles an hour. and that. too. with no
apparent effort, for the slow wing
motion is very deceiving. Their en-

for they are said to travel 1000 miles
without alighting.
