SAYS CITY IS
IN GOOD SHAPE
Learn the Truth and Be
an 0ptimist"- -McPherson

J. l.. Mcpherson. assistant to the
president OF the Chamber OF Com
merce and Commercial Club, says
that II there Is anything wrong with
Seattle, 1t must be and Is in our.
selves.
What Seattle has had In the past
TO make 1t a great city Il has now"
he said. we have the same loca,
ton. basic resources. trade and trans.
portation facilities and the equable
climate.
The world has been passing thru
troublesome times, and aItho blessed
In being far removed from the cen
ter Of disturbances the worlds cata.
clysm has so changed the order OF
things turnout the entire world that
all communities are more or less
affected.
But bear this in mind, Seattle Is
Less affected than other cities, for we
have the basic commodities. We must
come down from the unstable heights
Of an unreal and fictitious prosperity
and imitation to the firm foundation
Of our basic resources. natural ad.
vantages and normal conditions. We
must have our feet firmly on the
ground and go forward In deter.
mined and constructive effort TO ra.
fionaily develop the unlimited poten
tisl resources OF the great trade ter
ritory which Seattle must serve.
Enthusiasm essential to success
ful salesmanship must be founded on
knowledge and belief not only OF our
city but our entire trade territory
The man or woman who knows can
not be other than an optimist. In
ehis work we must combat envy anc
personal selfishness. for these are the
elements that will be fostered by our
enemies. Those who lend support u
these elements are working against
Seattle and The forces Of construc
ton. With our citizens unitedly work
ing To such an end, there Is no force
Of evil that can retard the growth
and prosperity Of Seattle.
This Is the broad. constructive
work Of the Pacific Northwest prod
ucts committee or the Chamber Of
Commerce and Commercial Club"

Curious BIouSes.

Women have set their hearts on
doing the extraordinary thing in sep
arate bIouses. It will be a gala sea-
son for the. home dressmaker II she
catches on to the fashion. She may
be" convinced she can manufacture
one part OF a gown out of faded bro
eade curtains. and one has terrible
feeling she may become SO enthusi-
astic that she will use old chair COW
erings in this manner.
Thus did the economists preach
to women in other days. but the
ready y-to-wear manufacturers put
most Of this nonsense out of the heads
Of women; the fact that few mil
lion went to work added the finish
ing stroke. The price. of labor. the
valuation put on ones own time, the
cost Of serving food to those who
sew added up to such an appalling
to the shops and bought what she
wanted. She felt wisdom rested in
that act. '.'...
However, it is not wise to discour-
age home dressmaking. Since pat
terms have been perfected by certain
chtnery. since onetis not compelled to
struggle over the complex picture
puzzles cut Of tissue paper that
haunted the dreams of our earlier life.
since materials are offered to US IN
great quantities and at reasonable
prices. 1t would be unwise to always
direct the feet of women to the cases
of manufactured garments; but one
must advise the most ardent home
dressma aker to get new material for
such garments as these new blouses.
They are an innovation in Paris. hay
ing their vacation at gay spots under
blue skies. They are Of taffeta in
bright colors and they are cut after
the fashion of those rshapeless waists
worn about the time. of our civil war.
The sketch shows one. 1t is of
bright pink. taffeta. proclaimed by
smart women as the successor to red
and the rival Of mauve. The surface
Of the taffeta is embroidered in blue
grapes and vines, another way the
French have of proclaiming the glory
Of the grape and it's free use in a land
of individual liberty. The sleeves are
wide at the edge and the neck is cut
in the shape the French call bateau.
which covers the hips and is fitted
tightly to the figure by a heavy band
Of embroidery.
None of these new blouses flare
at the edges. Also. they are beltIess.
They slip over the head when they
are not buttoned down the back.
Their originality lies in their color.
We are not familiar yet with bright
pink embroidered in bright blue in the
form of a blouse. 1t is a startling de-
parture from beige, white, brown and
black.
Such a blouse can be worn with a
dark thin skirt on the beach, at country
