ours wears what she pleases without

WHY WOMEN WEAR
UNSUITABLE CLOTHES
Miss Ferguson pointed out two
paramount reasons why women In
the buster walks OF life copy society
women's clothes--lack of time or
Imagination to create their own
styles.
"And they don't seem TO realize.
she continued. that the footsteps OF
these society creations are as insult
ed for them to follow as those OF
Hottentot or Zulu belle. And so
clothes become unsuitable, and SO
unbeautiful. and where clothes are
unbeautiful. morals become unlovely
and where both clothes and morals
are unlovely. what do you expect of
your nation?
"One has only 70 ride In the sub
