HEN q woman pays nearly
Nh $500. for a sport suit, the
world knows this class Of
dress has risen to an art,
and ar. is expansive.
Not one woman, but many, pay this
price. A dressmaker OF importance
told me that she hadn't received less
than SITS for such a frock In three
years Often 1t has no decoration be-
yond soutache braid.
A man milliner showed me . small
helmet hat in the prevailing shape
which he sells for $50, because AT
takes three entire days Of constant
sewing to make it. .!.'.f
The newest sport suit, made in New
York and copied from one by Chanel
Of Paris, takes 400 yards OF braid and
so.much labor that it sells for $3.50.
There's a walking cane, carried by
the we'll dressed Americans. on pleas

Dent staxger with surprise. you
who. scrimp and save to get SIS to
buy your best suit or frock. You must
change your point OF view. You must
adjust your perspective. For several
hundred years women put the bulk OF
, their dress income into the costume
that, went to church. Then they put
itinto the gown that served for day
thine activities-the things that were
done from morn until night Now 1t
goes into a sport costume. .., ;,
That's the difference. That's the
change in the point Of view. None
need cavil. This generation is like
the last It shifts its emphasis. No
woman scrimps and saves for her
church costume, Her grandmother did.
Think of the shock and dismay Of
those fashionable ladies who took
part in the church parade OF Philip
Homes day in New York, he who has
given us such important glimpses of
our American life in his diary, that
Antedates the. civil war, II they had
heard that their descendants would
taxi to church in tailored suit and
change into a. sweater at the country
club. Think Of the disbelief OF any
group Of women twenty years ago IL
they were told of sport suit selling
for nearly 5000.

nOSSIBLY It is the shifting OF the
L dress emphasis to sport clothes
that will be the distinguishing diff
ference between US and all those who
preceded US. Marie Antoinette would
have dearly liked the fashion. It
would have been a delightful after
math to her expensive dairyma!d
clothes. Be sure she would have worn
red heels on her sport shoes. Some
OF us do now.

llminary to getting the senate to au-
thorize our joining the court, the oc-
casion assumes political Importance
Obviously IL the International court
is to figure as an achievement OF the

ton and the campaign, the president
can look for only opposition from the

declaration that he has no intention
Of fighting the president for the nomi-
nation in 1924.

Senator Johnson is going abroad
for some months. He is due back
about the time the president is plan
ming to make his stumping tour, and
last nights address may we'll be the
opening Of debate, the result of
which may determine the republican
nomination next year.
Still the propaganda persists for
our entry into Europe" Senator John
son said. Its advocates appeal with
equal fervor to our altruism and our
cupidity. If Americans are deaf to
the demand to stabilize the world and
save civilization for humanity's sake.
they are sternly told they cannot
make as much money or have as
profitable markets. unless they join
the European madness In either
instance the appeal is without real
foundation, emanating from a be-
begged international intellectually or
