Eyes Of d Wornan
By Jane Doe
SLAVES TO CLOTHES
BY Jane Doe

A STAT1STICIAN gives us very in
= digestible food for thought when
he says women waste ten years of
their life putting on and taking off
their clothes.
Also, there's lot more in it than
that.
Nobody but a woman knows what it
Is to be a slave to the truly awful
tyranny of pretty clothes.
The putting on and taking off Of
them is a plaguy business enough, but
the wearing of them, the mending of
them, the forethought, foretaIk, and
time expended on them is worse.
They put at least another ten years
on woman's life.
These gentlemen who, about the
year 1000 B. G. foresaw ar overcrowd-
ed workaday world in which men
would compete with women to the det-
riment of one or the other, knew a
thing or two when they kidded their
womenfolk to the tune of Behold, you

For men have won or men have lost,
Have faltered, son, or mountains

We wear hats of all sorts Of alb
surd and uncomfortable shapes, which
give us headaches, impede our vision,
and overhead our scalp.
We wear fur coats that rest like
lead on our shoulders and arms, and
are so cut that we can't raise our
hands above our shoulders, and in
which we can't walk farther than a
quarter of mile without being tagged
out.
And we spend hours and hours
threading ribbons through our thinga-

ing on buttons, polishing our shoes,
and cleaning and dyeing and wash

Up to date the only sensible gar

But women cannot dress by these

otherwise might be devoted to the
