Psychology Of War
On Women's Dress
BY LENA MADISON PHILLIPS,
Y. w. C. A. National Board Secretary
for Business Women.

IOf ouSIneSS WOInCH.
"Work Willie you work and primp
at home" is the new slogan for the
woman in business. With the call to
her new duties brought about by war
has come to oma the knowledge
that to succeed In business she can
not think Of her clothes during office
hours. The old fashioned idea thai
woman is always clustering about her
dress is rapidly being killed in action.
II the business women are to meet
the demands of the present day chal-
lenge, thus fulfilling the promise of
their past achievements, the stand
ards CO the average woman must be
raised as a means thereto, and the
raising of standards means sensible
dressing. To appear at h office with
fuzzy hair, high heels and the primp-
ing attitude to work all day with one
eye on the clock and the other on the
mirror. had a tendency to lower stand
ards. Ideas on the change in the at
tire of business wolnen have been fer
menting for some time. One clever
woman has even gone so far as to
work out the fact based on a canvas
and statistics that the woman who
was always fussing over her clothes
and primping during office hours did
not get her salary raised.
With the coming of the war woman's
work has been made real, and all
these %fermenting ideas are fast being
c~rystalized. Women have found h
waists that muss on the slightest prov
ocation. like chiffon, and other mate
rails designed for the drawing room,
impractical for the real work they are
now called upon to do. They have
found that high heels advertise weak
ness, and those who are doing Uncle
Sans work must think of their feet

arches, They have discovered, above
