known women who called themselves

Looking on our faults, how can

BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

What is a good woman? In dis
cussing the case of an unfortunate
girl who had born an illegitimate
child, a group of women were airing
their views. Most of them con-
demned her. They were eloquent
about the terrible prevalence of UNI
chastity.
What thoughts crowd the mind of
the listenerl For most members of
such anvil choruses have been reared
in comfortable homes, where they
enjoyed intelligent companionship
and felt the constant solicitude of
loving relatives and friends. They
have afterward married and gone in
to other comfortable hor1es. they
have husband, children, plenty TO
eat, cars to drive and credit accounts
at the best shops.
How, therefore, do they know
whether they are moral or not? For
only the tempted can speak with as
surance as to character.
Is the dowager who pounces on
the reputation of some poor little
girl any better spiritually than the
culprit she criticises? 1 doubt it.

again.
Auntie admired a snakeskin
jacket. 1T was made of silk in
snakeskin design. What a lovely
broadtail collar over there. l ex-
claimed, only to find it was the new
velvet Stimulating clipped fur. A
silk hat turned out to be fashioned
Of soft pIable straw.
But tbs final blow to our discern
ment came from viewing the new
futurist woolens that by their
shaded designs give the impression
of materials that are pleated, tucked,
TERED and even decorated with in
crustations. l would have sworn
that an entire sports coat in Rodier
kasha in soft grays and black and
white, had two-inch pleatings fash
Joining a design of yoke, tiers and
panels, but to my establishment 1t
was the material design deceiving
me. 1t was a straight line plain
coat Of the novelty cloth.
Silk-Like Metal
The black and white frock con-
tanned another surprise. Its collar
and double belt at waist looked like
metal links, but was only silk in
link design.
OF biscuit basket-weave silk, the
smartest jacket suit on the track
had an unique yoke. belt and hip
banding of gay homespun plaid in
colors ranging from soft cream to
satisfyingly brilliant burnt orange.
The cape sleeves, wrap-around skirt
and body of the jacket were of
plain material so that the vivid
touches seemed mastery and per-
feet.
