movement is really taking on national
proportions. Nearly every city has lew
daring overallists, who will act as rallying
points for others. :,
OF course the movement may carry the
means of its own defeat. A terrii1c rise IN
the price of overalls may be the next thing
in the cards. Then, too, the overall is not
itself an ideal garment, but merely one
which happens 10 exist Teady-iiiioe
answering the need for something cheap
and simple.
II is evident that just a few principles IN
clothing are involved. In the ilrst place.
cheaper materials, like denim and khaki
should be used for ordinary garments
and wool should be used only when apso-
| lu,ely necessary for warmth. In the sec
ond place, the barbaric features oi dress
which have either practical nor. ;nstneuc
value, but merely hamper the lnd,vidua,'
such as the stiff collar and cuff, the high
heel and the tight-titting coat, should be
abolished. The elimination OF tight, exact
ft in garments will not only render them
more comfortable, but will cheaper ana
simplify their manufacture. In word,
the blouse and jumper type OF upper
garment should iisplace the coat and vest
The really valuable aesthetic elements
| In clothing are cleanliness, pleasing color,
/ and fit of a loose and easy sort. All OF
/ these can be retained at about one-tenth
of what we are now paying for compliance
with meaningless customs involving acute
discomfort.
The history Of clothing indicates that a
really widespread reform once accomplish
cd, will be permanent. People VIII not go
back 10 what is uncomfortable and rldlcu-
lous once they are freed from u; The
! French revolution did away with long
silk stockings, and buckled shoes for men;
| The rufiled shirt front and the powdered
wig died about the same time and have
never been seen off the stage since. Nearly
every great revolutionary period u
human history has been accompanied by
| few desirable notifications IN human
adornmont. This is such a revolutionary
period, and il should contribute its share
toward human comfort in dress.

BEAUTY EVERYWHERE
Rev. ID. IL. keuney.

There's beauty in the sunbesms,
There's beauty in the flowers,
There's beauty in the swift streams,
There's beauty in the showers.
The snowflake, iceberg. ocean.
All have a beauty rare,
Silent, or when in motion,
Make beauty eyerywhere-
You've only 10 look for IL
In forest, field and glen;
You don't need to search for 1t,
Open your eyes and then
You'll find IL on Your right hand,
Your left, your front, and there.
In any spot where YOU stand,
You'll find it everywhere.
The folk who miss these God-made
Pictures have eyes for gloom,
THEY'RE hunting for the night shade
Where fragrant flowers bloom.
There's beauty for the world crowd
When searched for with care,
There's beauty in the storm cloud,
There's beauty everywhere.
