The odd collar and deep cuffS are OF
cream lace. The hat is made of
brocaded ribbon.
There is room in every wardrobe for
a tailored suit and a one-piece frock.
Each serves its own purpose and meets
certain emergencies There are few
women on this continent who limit
themselves to one costume for the
street. 1t is not land of paupers-
Even in the greatest war of the world,
it is a land of prosperity. If clothes
were not bought in great quantities
during the war, it was because the
money was turned into other channels
where it was more periodically ex-
pended; but the money is here, and
when the government demand for it
lifts, the industrial demand for it is
met.
If one judges by the wages paid this
season, it is difficult to find where the
poor class is. OF course, there are al
ways the helpless. the unfortunate and
the sick, but for all who can work,
there is work, and the highest wages
ever paid. Somewhere this money
must have ! outlet, and since the in
fluenza epidemic abated, the shops
have been able to say where some or
the money has gone.
A Suit and a Gown.
Therefore, it is not probable that
only the rich indulge in more than one
costume. There are clothes a-plenty,
as a rule. in all classes of society,
wherever people are able to work and
pay for them. There are fashions in
all kinds of apparel, and they meet all
purses, figures and social oppOrtuni-
ties. So the woman who likes a tai
lored suit is also quite anxious to know
what is best in a frock. She can at
ford both, and she usually has both.
The question of interest should lie
more in details. How frocks are made
and how Jackets are cut, is of greater
interest to the majority of American
women. Therefore, tn details of the
new frocks do not need to be limited
to the attention of those who only buy
frocks; they are for the large public.
Now, the one-piece froclr IF today is
a curious and interesting affair. 1t
comes nearer a primitive garment
than any other living thing We wear
and there is no decrease in the fashion
for comfortable frocks that slip on
| over the head and are fastened with
the minimum amount of buttons.
| There are buttons used as ornament
but the war has taught women to get
/ into their clothes as rapidly s pos
! Sible, and therefore, they cause less ir-
ritation than ever before. We look
| back with a shudder of terror upon
the days when boned Innings that
| hoked in the back were the fashion
and we wonder that we ever permitted
ourselves to be such slaves of an ex-
| acting style.
The Diagonal Fastening.
Militarism is dying out in clothes
| even that harmless form of it that was
| taken from the uniforms. but the Sam
Browne belt lives in the diagonal fas-
| tening. Women like it.
| The frock which is sketched today
| is of dark blue serge and shows the
| diagonal line across the chest which is
partly ornamented with the end of the
lace collar which outlined and softens
| the round neck. Collars are in fashion
again, as you see by this frock, for

New York.-Whenever the season
begins to change, not in the climate,
but in the fashions, there is the eternal
question of whether or not the tailored
suit will GUST the ope1-face frock; or
the other way round.
Why isn't there room for both these
costumes in n wide. wide world filled
with so many millions of women with
so many millions of tastes? Why
should we all be clothed alike and look
more than ever like a group of sheep?
If animals could change their raiment,
they would. 1t adds to the gayety of
life and provides a spice in living.

SOUTH DAKOTA DEMOCRATS
MAY lNDORSE PRESIDENT

Waahineon Bureau Of The Tribune.
Washington, Nov. 17.-That the
South Dakota democrats at their con-
vcntion at Pierre. December 2, will in
dorse President Wilson for another
term. was predicted today by Senator
Johnson. Senator Johnson has been in
touch with various prominent demo
Gratis Of the state on the matter. He
has advised that the president be given
the conventions support for another
term. Senator Johnson is endeavoring
to get Vice President Marshall or Sen
ator Underwood to speak at Pierre.
While in one sense, the said action
may be regarded as a third term move
ment, it Is assured there is another side
to it. In other words, it is looked on as
too early for the South Dakota demo-
Gratis to commit themselves to mother
candidate If the president eliminates
himself or Is eliminated. To indorse
the president under the circumstances
will avoid embarrassments as among
the various other aspirants.
