Chicago Women
Say Dress Costs
$500 a Year

CHICAGO, Aug. s.-Mrs. william
p. Burden. called the ''best dressed
woman at Newport" Is being
praised in the East for her declara-
tion that 5000 is enough to clothe
any woman fashionably and COM
pletely each year.
Now arise several Chicago wom-
en- who admittedly are as well
dressed as Mrs. Burden or any
other Eastern woman and they as
sert s2,5oo is ample for all the
clothes a woman needs during the
year.
"A woman can dress well on $500
a month" said Mrs. John Donald
Black. who is known to be always
sartorially correct. "Of course. IL
depends a lot on the woman's taste
and her judgment in buying.
IF . woman has four outfits a
year she can always be correctly
and suitably attired. BY seasons I
mean spring. summer, fall and win.
gowns and wraps can bs worn from
one season to another. A woman
who goes into society needs a ward
robe a little different from the
business woman. but I am sure IL
Is not necessary TO spend 5000 a
year to be well dressed"
Mrs. william J. Calhoun, Mrs.
Philip X. wrigley and other women
who are admittedly smart dress
ers. agreed that 5000 Is a great
deal more than they spend on
clothes annually.
