clothes; perhaps not in a lifetime. l myself don't spend that much on clothes in a year.
 But perhaps you don't realize that there are dozens of women in New York today to whom $35,0O0 as an annual outlay for dress, cosmetics and so on, is not an extravaganza. l know one woman who has a yearly contract with a modste for S50,000 worth of clothes. There are society women who easily spend that much. Just as there are people who spend $50 a month for a house and others who pay $l5,000 a year for an apartment. The thing is relative, you know"
 The modiste, it seemed, got a fair profit and no more, Tt is possible that by some lucky chance a woman might find cheap dressmaker who would turn her out, as well as one whose prices were higher. That is an unlikely chance; but it might happen. However, what the society woman wants is a quiet, attractive place in which to in- Spect gowns. She wasAs to see those gowns displayed by refined, high-class models. Naturally, both these requisites mean high rent and good salaries"
 Your murmur about the overhead ex- pense brought an emphatic nod.
 Moreover, the very materials in the clothes themselves are expensive even before the scissors and needle touch the goods. Brocades at, say, around $100 yard, send the price of a gown up. rather"
 Rather!
 There is an East Indian, for example, who brings me marvelously embroidered silks straight from India. He drapes them around the models and they really need, oftentimes, very little cutting or sewing. But the materials themselvGN are almost museum pieces. Some ars antiques. And. of course, they are very valuable.
 Another big item in sending up the price of a frock is the actual labor upon it. Labor in these days and in this city, especially skilled needlework, is high. On a frst-class gown which has many yards of an intricately beaded pattern, each bead must be sewn on with care so that it won't pull of. These patterns often are works of art and it requires almost artists to bead them. Do you know that the beading on one gown, when properly dong. may take several weeks?"
 These were matters worthy of con- sideration. But how many of these gowns wLhld sure-enough social leader need in the course of a year! And how much would such a gown cost?
 It depended, naturally, on the taste of the patron and the amount of bead ing. "A gown of this type, beautifully done, might run into many hundreds of dollar. IL might be five hundred dol .ars, .% hundred-the material itself wUu.., ,f course, be determining fac

WHEN one of New Yorks smartest
 W dressmakers announced the other day that nobody could dress on less than $35, 1000 8 year, lot of people clutched their pocketbook with one hand and held up the other hand in horror
 But not the debutante. Not, either, the debutantes mother in this year of grace 1924, Nor, indeed, the debutante's father. They knew that the dress makers estimate was conservative. T only hope my daughter will cut her wardrobe expenses down to S35,O00!" was the sincere groan of many pluto cratic parent.
 Of course, when the dressmaker said nobody could dress on less than $35,0OO a year, she referred to anybody feminine who was anybody" in New York City. Even in Manhattan there are girls who spend less than $500 a year for clothes. But they are not the girls who get their names into the society column. To the innocent bystander, however, whose name never gets nearer the society column than the death notices, advertisements and marriage licenses issued today" that $35,O00 remark was a smash between the eyes. How" said the innocent bystander, lingering his last dollar-bill "can any woman not only not get along on less than $35,OOO for clothes and incidentals alone-but how, on clothes and incidentals alone, can she spend so much 2"
 THE easiest answer is: Easily" But l after all, that doesn't tell the innocent bystander much about what it's all for, so this innocent bystander galumphed up to the source of the hair-raising re- mark and asked how come, with specif- cations, explanations and itemized par ticulars,
 Shes a surprisingly young and girlish person, this Fay Lewisohn who made the statement which has ever since been causing squawks of dismay. Perhaps it is worth noting that the squawks come from people-like oneself, for example who haven't anything like 5000 to spend on anything, let alone on clothes. Her establishment is in the most fash ionable-dressmaker section of West Fifty-seventh street, which as the initi- ate know is at present the ultra fash ionable district for the modistes whose clientele is truly exclusive.
 "How can a woman spend S35,000 a year on dress?" is the question directed at the slim, attractive young woman who announces herself as proprietor of the place,
 The slim, attractive young woman shrugged. How can she help it?" is her answer,
 "Well, but after all"
 The modiste smiled. "Oh, I'm talking about the woman of wealth and social position, Naturally, every one who comes to my shop for an occasional gown doesn't spend that much on

a little more than s2oo apiece, or $25oo for the dozen.
 "As for lingerie-I have just finished a set of lingerie, for bride, which is valued at $10,o00. I have made other sets for $15,000; that Is to say, dozen of each garment. The set which have just finished was of handmade filet lace and Italian silk of special quality. The wedding gown, priced at $500, was in- tricately beaded with crystal. One could get really lovely wedding gown, as a matter of fact, for around $500. But, ~of course, this is without the veil. The veil may cost as much as one is willing to pay
 Tt may be Few almost priceless yards of antique lace, made in some convent of the Middle Ages.
 "The more usual lingerie, of finest linen or silks and exquisite laces, would cost about $36oO for two dozen sets.
 "A dozen evening wraps would be part of the society woman's wardrobe. It is difficult to put a price on them. They might cost several hundred dollars each, depending on what fur was used for the collars and other decorations.
 "There are such things as fans, too, which vary tremendously in price. These would mount at least into the hundreds. Corsets, too, are expensive when well made and made to order. The materials are costly, also. Seventy dol lars is the price of one corset which makes no pretense to embroidery or other ornamentation. The price is for the best quality of brocade and of silk elastic and for the model itself.
 "You understand, further, that social leader could not possibly buy her furs within that $35,O0O which I have allowed her for war1robe. Furs would have to be extra. For handsome coat sl5,OOO is not an unusual price and 5000 would more likely be the figure. uTHIS leaves what are known as in.

tor. l am speaking. by the way, of a gown on which the modiste would make a legitimate profit; not of gown for which the modiste would charge every dollar she thought she could extort.
 "A debutante may easily spend S35,00O year for clothes and really get her moneys worth. Without being cheated by the modiste."
 You began to see how this was so.
 "Now, for instance" the modiste con- tinued, "a girl who moves in what Is known as high society needs about thirty evening gowns. She doesn't plan to wear any costume more than two or three times; some of them only once. It is not too much to say that thirty evening gowns would cost her 5000.
 "She would require 25O pairs of stockings. These would cost on an average, perhaps, s9 pair; an item of $2250 for hosiery alone. Of course, some stockings would cost much more than $9 a pair"
 AS A matter of fact, a shop in the "A vicinity of Fifth avenue and Forty second street has had on display within the year a pair of stockings priced at $500.

Science

It is almost impossible for science
to keep up with what may be called
the size of the universe and the age
Of the earth. Estimates in both of
these problems have been changed
many times, recently, but they are
constantly being extended by add
ton Il discoveries.
A recent estimate OF the distance
across the known universe was $780,
600 light years. A light year is the
distance traversed in a year by light.
Light moves at the rate of 1860
miles per second
Now, however, Harvard observatory
announces the discovery of a star
cluster million light years distant.
This is so far away and extends the
limits of the universe so greatly that
some newspapers speak of 1t as "an-
other universe" This description is
entirely wrong and only serves to con-
fuse the lay student who is trying to
grasp some of the wonders Of the
stars. There is and can be but one
universe, since universe means
everything there is. A poetic state
ment of scientific fact generally is
misleading.

every person to sell his labor to whom

This was a thrust at labor unions.
The professor. however, did not go
deep enough with his idea Of 'Ameri-
can freedom" perhaps for reasons
known to himself.
AS long as land grants are given

Frantic cheers rose from the ranks

Yet the same scenes were witnessed
