Those who put their trust in 1egis-

disappointment. About the only good
that could be accomplished by con=
gress would be thru repeal of some
existing legislation. No country in the
world has come out of the war more
intact and with greater opportunities
than the United States. Our vast ex-
panse of fertile land remains. The
forests and mines still retain their IN
exploited riches. Our business acu-
men, initiative and organization are
not lost. The skill and efficiency of
our labor forces is yet with us. We
have passed thru the crisis in our
industrial and financial Illness. The
constitution OF the patient is sound.

royal prestige in dress under the En-
press Josephine, but her influence
over French attire was negligible
compared to the influence that had
been exerted by Marie Antoinette
= Soon, industrial development COM
tons Machines turned out coats and
dresses wholesale and opened factory
employment to girls who had worked
at home or in the fields. Materials
were made cheap, SO that the working
girl could wear silk and lace And,
equally important in the history of
dress, the railroad, telegraph, steam
boat and fashion journal made it pos
sible for the rest of Europe and Amer
lea to know what Paris was wearing
as soon as Paris put it on. When
transportation was in its primitive
stages. a style was months old before
it reached this country from European
fashion centers. Dolls dressed in
Partisan and London styles used to be
sent to the fashionable dressmakers
of Boston and Philadelphia. Then
civilization speeded up, and so have
fashions. Instead of changing by
decades, styles change by seasons, or
oftener, now.
There was nothing but the whims
of royalty to set a limit to what could
be worn up to the French revolution.
Now there is different standard and
more variety. Inc stars OF the stage
and screen are the advance guards of
style. If you don't like the sinking
draperies of the vamp you can copy
the ingenue in her simple $500 white
muslin and still be recognized as a
this years model, and not an antique.
There is one new Limitation. A wo-
man will no longer wear clothes that
absolutely prevent her from engaging
in sports and doing her work. Skirts
become full, but what dressmaker,
however important could launch sue
cessfully a dress SO cumbersome that
the wearer would have to have sup
port in order to get from a typewriter
to filing case. So, when dresses be-
come narrow, there are the alterna-
tives of Sitting them and making the
long sheath gown of a few years ago,
or of making them short, as now.
Now, as never before, the woman OF
fashion-who includes the factory girl
and the store clerk-demands GER
| tain degree of comfort and freedom
| combined with style.
Clothes for centuries were Label
/ which women wore to proclaim herself
an unproductive chattel-an expensive
| luxury. Today they eloquently express
the fact that she is half-emerged from
that into the estate of an independent

That's his first name-and that's
what we all call him.
He came to us one day and said that
he wanted to work for US. We looked
him over and liked him very much

wanting to work for US, and he stated
them very specifically and earnestly
And so we took him in with us.
That was many years ago. And we
have always been glad that he came
He never passes to someone else
something that he can do better thar
any one else. He doesn't watch the
clock He is considerable of others
His eyes snap with pride when he
talks about his dear old mother.
Mike began at the very bottom with

and then found many things tovdo
He is careful. painstaking and thoro
Mike can be trusted He has ftht
business at heart, and so he has hear

Each year finds Mike more valu

frankly.
Mike was born in Italy-but he is a:
near 100 per cent American as mar
can be. He is an inspiration to those
who work with him.
Mike has a happy little sweetheart
