Originality in Making the Neces-

At Very Little Cost

Many of the frocks that are of.
tered by stores in their bargain sales
have some extreme feature about
them that blocks their sale on the
regular show counters. As a rule the
shopper without Imagination will re-
ject h model which is either too old
fashioned or too extreme in fashion

ing feature OF an otherwise attractive
gown

neck line or an awkward length
sleeve or a touch OF the inharmon.
ious will spoil the appearance of an
otherwise pretty dress made of good
materials. In nearly every case the
shopper with initiative can see a way
of altering the dress which in reality
will make it a bargain. Sometimes
shortening on overskirt length, or
taking in a seam in the fare skirt
which has proved to be a drug on
the, market. will entirely change the
silhouette linea of a model from the
''Hfkeville'' style TO the mode of gay

Now that sleeves of contracting
materials are seen in the best of
shops a sale gown may be changed
into the smartest frock of a wardrobe
by adding new sleeves. Originality in

American Speech
More Comfortable
Than English Way
Writer Declares Spelling in
This Country More Logical
Than in Great Britain

H l. Mencken, discussing in. the
n Bookman a new. book by Gilbert
NJ Tucker on American English"
makes some wise observations about
our idiomatic- use OF English:
What / refer to here, OF course. is
the spoken language-the everyday
discourse of ordinarily educated folk
Neither the jargon OF intellectual
snobs nor the gibberish Of the vulgar.
As Entomology gobbles grammar, this
spoken language takes on more and
more Importance; once more the dog
begins to wag the tail. But even in
the written forms American has GER
tain salient superioritles over stand
ard English. 1t is looser and more
comfortable; it is ~livelier and more
alert. its cliches are less ponderous'
and banai; above all. its spelling tends
TO be more logical. What could be
more idiotic than he supernumerary
c that the English attach to such
words as ak, annex, and form? Why
cling to centre when center is so
much simpler and better? Why two
.g's in wagon and two rs in traveller?
Why kerb in the face of to curb?
Why plough for pillow? Why gaol for
Jail? Eve the our ending, as Mr..
Tucker shows, is Illogical and non
sensical. If honour and neighbour
are correct. then why do the English
write exterior, ancestor. and mirror?
The common notion that the our is
preserved for genealogical reasons
TO indicate loan-words from the
French-is quite absurd. Harbor is
not from the French. and yet the
English put a u into it; superior comes
direct O the French and yet they
leave out the u. Moreover, the
French ending is eur. not our. If II
is moral to drop the e, then why
cling to the u The English them.
sc."eE. in fact. begin to ask such ques-
tons. They already omit the u from
many derivatives c. g., honorary,
arboreal, INT humorous. Soon or late,
they will have to go the whole hog
as. indeed. the London Nation has
already one. Twenty years hence,

u ending remaining in the world

All Hats Foolish
Especially Mems
Jason Started 1t

The headgear Of the civilized man
is one of the most preposterous alb
surdities ever Known in the history
Of human adornment. writes William
e. Barton.
Because styles change often and the
pbsolescence of fashion is there most
promptly and certainly discovered. the
question Where did you get that
hat?'' has long been used to chal-
lenge innovations and to deride the
of headdress that has out
lived its popularity. There was a
time when the song, Where Did o
Get That Hat?" rose almost to the
dignity of a national anthem.
Turn back to the books of Apo
erypha, IL you rave them in your
rrandfather's bible, and see where
you get that hat.
Jason Did It
You will find in the second book
of the Maccabees how Jason. the
Unworthy high priest. attempted to
curry favor with Antiochus by erect
ing a gymnasium and attempting TO
popularize Greek customs. And THAT
he made hats fashionable among
yo-ing men:
He brought up new customs
against the law; for he gladly punt a
place of exercise under h tower it
self. and brought the young men I'M
der his subsection, and made them
wear a hat Maccabees Az.
Look at Them
Look at the bearskin hat Of the
drum-major whom we all admired in
pur childhood.
Look at the stovepipe hat which
even now we sometimes wear on oc-
sasion-
Look at the derby, which has not a
single redeeming feature either OF
beauty or utility.
And the look in the glass. and see
4 foolish person who has to follow the
fashions even when he knows they
ire stupid and ugly.
The women are wiser than men in
their generation. Women's' hats are
foolish and expensive. bit they are
attractive. and those of the men are
not.
No sensible man can blame the Jews
who, reyolted al the wickedness of
Jason in introducing into Jerusalem
the fashion of wearing hats.
