After all. certain fashions suit only
certain people. Woman should dress
up to her particular type, not up to

is likely to be prevalent.
"A woman doesn't want to be
prevalent; she wants to be indi-
viduai."
And after this expose of the fallacy
OF fashion, she continued:
Fashion! Fashion! What Is it?
Fashion is something the wise
woman ignores altogether. woman
with limited means can look charm

more. You see. the next year she
would have eight. and the next

COLD WEATHER
Causing Much Suffering in
Near East

Cleveland.-Cold weather is causing
intense suffering throughout the Near
East, where it has caught vast armies
of refugees ill-clad, hungry, and with
out adequate shelter, workers of the
Near East relief from various areas
overseas reported to DIR. e. w. Huel-
ste, state director of Ohio Near East
Relief.
Conditions among the refugees
moved here from Ismidt and other
towns on the Peninsula are pitiful, y
reports an American worker in
Thrace. ''Most of them escaped at
the time of the Greek evacuation with
little more than the ragged garments
they wore. When cold weather sud-
denly set in relief headquarters was
besieged by large crowd of shiver-
ing humanity. Little children with
only one tattered cotton garment
shook as with the ague in the cold
wind and sleet During four days we
clothed 1,799 persons"
Russian and Armenian refugees in
the camps of Constantinople are re-
ported to be even worse off. The
