In honor of the twenty five South
American newspapers which recently

stopping in New York. en- route to his
post; by r. r. Ronconi. representing

President Moves, in introducing the
speakers. said that it was his belief
that this new relation between North

of friendship and commerce than any
possible propaganda might accom-
plish.

and they grasp with eagerness the

1t is difficult to persuade certain
set of women that there are other
types of blouses. Nothing could in
duce them to return to the kind that
tucks in under the skirt belt. They
feel they have eliminated this awk-
ward line around the middle of the
body, and they choose all their blouses
after the tunic pattern. whether Tor
tailored suits or for service with
separate skirt under fur coat.
1t is sometimes permitted to tuck the
back of the blouse under the skirt,
provided there is front panel that
drops. apron wise. below the waist,
and an ornamental belt which runs
from each side of 1T to the back. This
is the most ingenious compromise be-
tween the new and the old blouses.

pottery design in yellow and black
and a thread of dull red, and you get
an exceedingly ingenious costume.
The milliners are quite willing to
match up these kid tunics with tur-

look like an Indian chooses turban,

France, having accepted the tunic-
blouse as something of her own in
vention, far more desirable than the
American shirt waist has begun to
play little tunes on the theme. Some
of these novel touches are not quite
desirable to the American eye. One
isn't sure that going about with a
pack Of playing cards printed in col
ors on the surface of tunic Is living
up to the requirements of well
dressed woman. There is bit too
much novelty about this. but 1t is q

and should be discussed. The Indian

made a definite decision concerning
their clothes. After that everything is
easy; 1t is only necessary to look after
details, which consume probably one
morning every six months.
This class of individualists is larger
than that which insists upon it's even
ing gowns being alike. This trick. you
know, has become ultra-fashionable.
A woman chooses a certain type OF
gown, the slippers to go with IT, ana
the wrap, and then she orders hair
dozen in different color combinations.
Strange to say the men indorse this
plan of action more than ones fellow
women. Whenever it is told to nus
band or brother. or any of the male
species who pays or approves bills,
there Is a quick nod Of approval and
a rather patronizing compliment. Men
have the idea that il women take up
this form of apparel they show sense;
and it is well to hearken to these men.
for one of the strange things on this
planet is that they are usually better
Judges of what a woman should wear
than she Is herself. 1t is for that rea-
son that the man dressmakers have
made great success of the world.
There is a well known story in
smart circles of woman who spent
large sums OF money on her clothes
but was never satisfied with them.
Her husband paid the bills ungrudg-
ingly, but did not approve of her cos
tunes. Finally, when the war had
caused every one to eliminate the nom
essentials in mental as well as physi-
cal activities. she went to him and
said: II have made failure of my
costumes for twenty gears, and you
have been a brick aboHt haying for
them. am irritated beyond endur-
ance with the whole question of

your hands. You are alleged to be an
