BUCHAREST. July 27.-For the first
time since Roumanis. as the ancient
Roman province OF Dacia, adopted the
short white skirt of the Roman legion
aries as her especial costume, the men
OF Roumanis have changed their style
OF wearing apparel
The ancient costume since the time
OF the Romans has been short white
tunic, suppleme with thick white
WOOL "bag-trousers," aud q heavy pad
6ed coat whose lines Of rich em6roi-
derry exactly follow tho lines of the
old Roman body armor.
The German Bulgar-Turk hooters
carried away as many OF the embroi-
dered garments as they could find. The
clothing brought from France by the
American Red Cross has taken the
place OF the stolen goods.
Hospital garments of all kinds, bath
robes, pajamas, hospital Jackets. are
being worn by the men in the VII
lagos in place of their historic nation

as an embroidered tunic, but Judging
by the pleased look on the faces OF

the substitute garment IS giving per.

cannot afford TO spend much money in
order TO take u. out Blu; We long &c 80
out. ana have therefore thought of a Dutch
treat plan. which means that each OF the
p poSs a'o Ftrs Sou IS TO pay his Or her eT
any wrong In doing and how TO put
the plan before the boys. since We do not
want TO hurt their feelings. g. r. Y.
II seems TO me that you are rather
young to so out unchaperoned with
boys. especially since you are in pur-
suit OF amusement that involves en-
rense. But If your parents have no
objection to your going, the Dutch
treat idea is a good one. II would in
any case be much more sensible for
you girls to pay your own way, even
Ii the boys did have more spending
money. There Is no reason My sucm
sugg estion should hurt your boy
friends feelings. Ask .ham frankly
whe her they care TO join Dutch
treat ciub-or, however. you choose to
