PLACES BLAME ON MERCHANT
According 20 English Visitor, He Is
Responsible for Extreme Styles
Adopted by Women.

The more important question IN
derneath the clothes question is what
sort of appeal the new "audacious"
styles are intended to make, or do
make, says the Boston Transcript.
Mrs. Beatrice Forbes Robertson Hale's
entertaining talk on this question
starts off by saying frankly: 81 do not
believe that dress is based on a sex
appeal" She thinks 1t is rather the
reflection of class appeal-the at
tempt to display wealth.
After democracy had done away
with mans lace cuffs, frills, wigs, vel
vet cloaks and such ostentatious lux
Jury Of attire it became bad form for
IN man to show his class by his clothes,
and so he advertises his prosperity by
dressing up his wife.

Mrs. Hale, 'is nothing short of shop

human critter. of course, not of the

herent snObbishneSS OF overdress
comes from aping the thoughts of the

cation in dress here in America has
come from the merchant who has
goods to sell; we don't know where
we are today, trying to wear all the

NEVER LET GO OF SUITCASE
Former Congressman, on Visit to
France, Proved Himself Superior
47a to Adverse Circumstances.

Dudley Doolittle, who used to be in
congress from Kansas, recently re-
turned from Europe, where he went on
a secret mission for the United States
government.
While in France, Mr.. Doolittle had
the unusual experience of roaming
around several hundreds of battlefields
with seventy-siX-pOund suitcase
clasped firmly in his arms. Shortly
after Doolittle landed in Paris, and
just before he started for the battle
fields, the handle broke off his suit
case, which contained number of
valuable documents and papers which
were almost as heavy as hardware
samples. There was no porter around
to help Doolittle into his automobile,
nor was there any around during the
ensuing ten days of his trip. There
fore. there was nothing for him to do
but to clasp the suitcase firmly TO his
chest and ger the best view of the bat
tletieldS that he could from behind the
obstruction.
DOolittle says that he got so used to
viewing war scenes from behind the
suitcase that in order to enjoy movies
of the war now he has to take n min
lature dOghouse 10 the motion picture
theaters with him and hold IL on HE
lap throughout the performance.

Montaiqne Had Idea of Tanks -

While the court of inquiry is so bus
lily engaged in weighing the various
claims 10 original authorship of tanks,
and while discussion on the subject Is
going on in sundry capitals, Il French
writer, brushing aside Wells and his
"Anticipations," points to one of the
fathers of literature. Michel de Mon
taigne, as the man TO whom medals
and kudOs are really due. There is Il
prognostieation i'm one of the Essays
of the entry of combatantS into battle
inclosed in bastions Just like those
which the ancients caused their ele-
plants To carry" There is the germ
of the tank invention right enough,
but that it should have taken so long
to terminate may not incOncelvably
be regarded as invalidating Mon
ttigne's claims to the CroiX de Guerre.
