Ready-Made
Garments
By Rita Stuyvesant.

We shops this season are Of
fering some exceptionally
= good values in ready-made
garments. especially among mod
erate-priced garments. Very often
a woman will so shopping for a
suit and will be disappointed be-
cause it has inartistic buttons or
the wrong kind OF a vest.
or. perhaps, it is a blue georgette
frock that is a good bargain, but
lacks that dash and charm so es-
sential to smart dressing. The
clever woman will purchase her
ready-to-wear clothes and then add
some interesting touch approved
by fashion.
For $3.50 one shop was showing
a new spring dress in all the de-
sired shades OF velour. 1t was a
boN-cOat model with a set-in vest
finished on either side by tiny
brass buttons. One girl, whom I
know, purchased this dress in
French blue with a tan vest, and
removed the coat" from the dress
lining The skirt was also cut
free from the lining and finished
by a belt at the waist.
The coat was then lined with a
light figured silk. and for a few
dollars this girl had an excellent
spring suit.
\ navy blue georgette frock that
started out by being quite ordinary
for $l5. was made gay by hundreds
of brilliant red, beige and green
beads II was "A simple model with
round. COllarleSS neck and a skirt
we'll weighted by dep tuCks. With
a transfer embroidery pattern a
conventional design of tulips was
stamped on the blouse and a clever
little border outlined the neck and
cuffs.
y bcwitchiu- beautiful evening
gown was made from a simple
flesh Colurcd satin IrOCk that was
merely bodice and narrow two
piece skirt. II was Girdled with
silver cloth and had silver Shoul-
d1s straps. The fesh-COEored satin
was used as n foundation for a
bright flame chiffon overdress with
a rather full skirt. The chiffon was
further enhanced by bands of dull
silver thread lace and there was an
adorable little bodice built Of chif-
ION and lacr and tiny sleeves. The
original SirdIc Of silver was used
&" finish this captivating dance
dress
\ skirt Of maroOn-coiorcd Eabar-
dine was on sale recently for 50 be-
cause il was last years model. the
bottom of the skirt measuring
aho"j tw" yards and a half. 1t
wOuld take very little time or
truup.r 10 TcrUdeI II and bring it
up 10 the minute.
Since fashion fayors the slim sill
houette this season the skirt could
bc taken in to measure about a
yard and a half at the bottom The
material cut off could be utilized
for smart pockets and a narrow
belt. Buttons To trim the belt and
pockets leave nothing to be de-
sired for style.

softly down to assure herself that
he bad not heard it.

Senator Reed at Birmingham.

Baton Rouge, La, July 16, 10.
To the Editor of the Times-Picay-
une:
In your issue Of July IA appeared
the following:
Birmingham, Ala, July 13.-The
local post of the American Legion
unanimously adopted resolutions this
afternoon declaring that no member
of the legion would attend the ad-
dress Of Senator James A. Reed here
tomorrow night, and asking all per-
sons who believed in 100 per cent
Americanism to refrain from attend
ing the meeting"
In your issue of the 18th, in a
less conspicuous place, appears the
following:
Birmingham, Ala, July 14.-A
crowd which taxed the capacity Of
a local theatre heard United States
Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri,
speak here tonight against the LeaS
que Of Nations. Hundreds unable to
get inside the building were turned
away"
The friends Of free discussion in
Alabama. and elsewhere, should be
gratifed to see that the people Of
Birmingham evidently entertain a
very different conception of what
constitutes 100 per cent American
ism fromathat expressed in the silly
pronouncement recorded in your dis
patch. Doubtless there are those a.
mong them who know---what appar-
emily the members Of the Birming-
ham post do not know or have for
gotten-the right of every man to
speak, and write, and publish his
sentiments is a right imbedded in
American traditions. as is also the
right Of peaceable assembly, for the
purpose of hearing the discussion of
public questions.
1t seems necessary, unfortunate
though the necessity be, that these
truisms be spoken. If. as the after
math Of war, they become not truth.
but heresy,. then, indeed. tns war
will have been lost by US. But be-
fore that happens it is the duty of
every one to speak. who would not
see the United States Senate reduced
to the level Of the German Relchstag,
or the Declaration Of Independence
and the Constitution Of the United
States tossed into the wastebasket, as
discredited scraps Of paper..-R. l..
