The Philosophy of Brocade.

Folks who study the philosophy Of
clothes declare there is Il psychology
ical reason for the present craze for
silver and gold brocadcs, says the New
York Evening Mail. The general ten
dency in street and afternoon frocks
is toward simplicity. The seasons
only trimming of prominence is fur.
This, so students of dress tell us, is u
reflection of the war spirit. And the
brilliant brocades, on the other hand,
express 1.-THE letting off of steam"
Women cannot subsist on steady diet
of simplicity and so they are taking Il
little fling with brocade chapeaux and
garments for formal evening wear.
Whatever else one may think about
the soundness of this explanation, 1t is
interesting. And no one will deny that
never before have gold and silver bro
cades been utilized in such attractive
forms.

glrded for war; and the output Of
these mills is not intended to carry
favor with women.
Here are the things that the gov
eminent wishes to say-those of us
who appeal to you through the written
word as we would like to appeal to you
face to face.
In spending your money on clothes,
cooperate with the designers by in
dorsing the slim silhouette, the short
jacket and the elimination of as much
wool as possible from costume. For
the rest, you can spend whatever
money you feel you can afford. Re-
member that 1t is not extravaganza,
but form of charity, to keep this
money moving so that 1t reaches to
the uttermost corners Of society where
women and children are gathered to
make living wage.
There is really little perceptible diff
ference between the silhouette of the
gowns launched for the late winter

side of the exclusive dressmakers and
high-priced shops. He knows what
the women throughout the country
desire to buy, and when he makes
the statement that the demand for
cheap fabrics and shoddy materials
is beginning to wane, he represents
a most interesting phase Of CONNER
cial activity.
Will Demand Durable Fabrics.
1t is already perceptible, wherever
masses of women have foregathered,
that costly simplicity is the substi-
tute for costly ornamentation. Soon
will come the other upheaval in dress
when women who buy inexpensive
clothes will demand that the fabric
endure.
1t was all very well. during n peri
cd of enormous productivity on the
part of the mills, to throw away $1S
on every new frock that suited the
fancy and to discard it when the par
tlcular fashion in which it was made
began to wane; but today we are

WHAT no EXPECT.

IN He recent arrival in New York Of 100000 pounds OF
4 toys bearing the words, Made In Germany has
raised tempest Of expostulation in that city.
Richard NJ Hurd chairman of the Boycott Committee
of the American Defense Society," is particularly hostile
to the distribution Of these toys throughout the country
and he asks:
sha American babies handle toys made by the baby
killers Of Germany2" ,.
II is true that these toys purchased by American
importers about years ago, and have been held In
warehouses in Rotterdam until this time, but Mr.. Hurd
suggests possible danger in this precedent when he says
ut is my sincere hope that this will not set precedent
for flood Of goods to be sent into this coun-
try from neutral countries the plea that they are no
longer owned by citizens Of and hence that the
money paid for them not directly help Germany
Mr. Hurd then calls attention to the fact that Germany
has eoupped herself with stolen machinery that her own
buildings and lands untouched and that she Is IN
nostion to supply the world with cheap German goods,
while the Allied countries are rebuilding their Industrial
plants and transportation facilities.
The Republican party has called attention to that fact
repeatedly.

war Is in free trade American market and that is what
