what They. Purchase.
II means that what the women of
wealth and position buy in MAY or tho
FIST of June the large class of aver
age women begin TO buy in the midd.t
of the summer.
And Just at this point the averag,
woman has the better opportunity to
dress according to the chickering's OF
fashion than the woman who buys on
a large scale early in the season and
is content with her purchases until the
next season.
You see, it's the average woman who
must buy from time to time, she who
has neither the wealth nor the organi-
zation to be able to forecast her sched-
ule of life and all its necessities. She
really skins the cream Of the market.
1t is an interesting thing to watch
this manGuvring in the different grades
OF society. The further down the scale
of wealth the more frequent the pur-
chasing of clothes and the more ultra
fashionable the attire of n woman. UNI
less she belong to a set that does not
try to be fashionable.
The woman of means does not dis
card a gown when it Is out Of fashion.
II IL is otherwise good. The girl on a
small salary discards 1t instantly. For
her the enormous shops turn their
wheels; for her the sweatshops exist;
for her the thousands of closely housed
workers Iauur.
Their eXert!ons are not for the rich.
They are not for the we'll to do middle
class. They ARD for the thousands of
American girls and women who want
quickly made small! priced ultra
fashionable Clothes at all seasons of
the year.
1t is strange that the economists do
| rot lay emphasis upon this fact. We
are always asked to fix our attention
upon the great gulf of difference that
lies between the sweatshop worker and
the multimillionaire who wears the
products. But it is the worker who
wears tho products. and usually the
worker who is in pretty much the
same class Of life and finance.
Now. going upward from the class
that buys clothes every few weeks, ac-

There Is a large demand for clothes
by a huge mass of American women
from the middle OF July TO the middle
OF September. Their buying is varied
Some sew at home. others get reduced
fnery at the shops. others haunt the
specially places and large department
shops for simple frocl<s at small cost.
What they buy depends upon their
purses and the social opportunities Of
fered by the vacation places to which
they go. There Is no one who consfd-
els old clothes appropriate. Even
when one goes camping these days
there is an outfit especially adapted to
the activities. Almost a Gallo idea OF
the fitness of costumery for the work
in hand comes about during the Amer

~ THAT hurly-burly the world
A/ of fashion is inl Perhaps
We will settle down by Sep
tember. There is no thought of rest
or serenity to-day. Even the hot
weather has not brought stability.
If there is any time when the world
of women should be quietly content
with the clothes it has it is when the
thermometer is In the nineties.
1t is true that there are millions
who really enjoy this serenity. They
have bought their summer clothes !;
they have no intention of considering
autumn clothes. To them the situa-
ton is replete with satisfaction. They
sit and rock slowly in contentment.
One set of burdens has been lifted
from the shoulders, and nothing else
has taken their place. These women
are the happy ones.
But 1t Is n difficult thing to achieve
this state of satisfaction. 1t is only
by sheer force of will, or by innate
There are those who think that only
the fashionable women stir themselves
To rapid action in clothes throughout
the summer season, because OF the
many hands that beckon to them from
hot weather gayeties.
This Is not true. 1t may be said
that the fash.onableS are the ones who
rest on their oars during July and Au-
gust. They have the money to buy
what they want at one fell swoop and
they know sufficiently in advance OF
the summer season just what oppor-
tunities will present themselves and
what clothes will be needed.
These women are apt to be more
businesslike in their methods than
Others. They are used to controlling
large movements to organizing affairs
on n large scale. and consequently life
does not permit them To be haphazard
Their clothes are purchased in eXten-
sive groups, in order to cover the ex-
act social opportunities that repeat
themselves in certain sectors of so
oiety. AS a rule. they manage better
they organize better. they have a surer
and shrewder touch in buying than
the average woman. They are rarely
reckless. They are rarely given to
eNer6nthusiasm, impetuous buying
unnecessary extravaganza.

AS the Czech veterans descended

relatives of these men had been
without means of communication
with them.
Tragedy mingled with JOY. Groups

Another development which the
