Fine Feathers Make Fine Birds.
The argument over the appropriate
costume for the business girl continues
to rage. Employers, and the general
public, advocate a plain. durable, in
conspicuous garb. The girls, on the
other hand, are strong for fluffy ruff
files, and high heel shoes, and georg-
cite waists. and all the doo-dads by
which they believe that they enhance
their charms.
They justify their elaborate toilets on
the ground that when they are all
dressed up they have no where else to
go except to business. They have no
balls, and parties, and theaters, and
receptions, and teas at which to dis
play their pretty clothes, as the society
girl has Moreover, every office is a
happy hunting ground for husbands
for the young women who are en-
ployed in it, and therefore they feel it
the part of wisdom to doll themselves
up in order to snare the masculine
fancy.
to as many pretty frocks as they can
pay for, say these girls, and why
shouldn't they deck themselves out in
chiffons, and head chains, and gossa
mer silk stockings, just as much as the
stay-at-home girl?
The answer to which is, of course
that women are SO profoundly domi-
mated by their clothes that they are
for the time being what they have on.
And if they want to be business
women they must wear business
clothes.
If you would put long jade earrings
and a decolette gown on a Mother
Israel, she couldn't make her eyes be-
have, and, on the other hand, you
could take every particle of coquetry
out of the vampiest vamp by cloth
her in a dowdy dress of the vintage
of 1904.
Women react to their clothes as
they do to no other influence on earth,
and that is why the knowledge that
she has on gown or hat that makes
other women rubber gives a woman
more moral courage than the strongest
religious principles, while the con-
seriousness that she is i'll dressed makes
every female woman feel awkward
and i'll at ease, and like crawling into
a knot hole, no matter who she is, or
what she accomplishes.
Every woman knows that she acts,
uncensciously, more or less in con-
formity with the clothes that she is
wearing. When she puts on a smart,
tailor-made suit, for example, she
throws her shoulders back, and holds
herself up, and moves with an alert
gait, whereas, in a slimpsy white mus
lin, with blue sash, she instinctively
falls into a debutante SLOUGH, and gets
a sentimental shipper on her lips. A
woman in spangles can't help feeling
wicked and devilish, nor can one in
red prevent her mind from running on
adventures, neither can one in a knee
length skirt avoid being kittenish, and
young, and doing things she would
never dream of doing if her petticoats
were ten inches longer.

'There-might be- she whispered.

'If it hadn't been a mistake, he

Marjorie was thinking. "Oh, I shall

A hill can get lower and lower

But beware il it once gets high enuh
It's a mountain insted of hill.
