When she arrived at the Marlyleroy

costs to see Nine. Gastaud, who was in
her garden, embroidering, she con-

HOLDS MEMS DRESS
.DEF|ES GOOD SENSE
Textile Expert Says Males
Still Remain Slaves
to Fashion.

The refusal of men to defy fashion
and to rid themselves of wearing APP
parel so much In excess of what Is
actually necessary during the hot
weather is conservatism in defiance Of
common sense, in the opinion of Miss
Ruth O'Brien, chief of the textile divi-
sion Of the Bureau of Home Economics
of the Department of Agriculture.
While women have learned that loose
fitting, light and airy clothing provide
comfort and reduce to minimum irri-
tation incident to hot Summer months,
Miss O'Brien said, men still remain
slaves to fashion, imposing upon them
selves excessive discomfort by adhering
to mode of dress that Is absurd
In discussing masculine styles In
comparison with those of the opposite
sex. Miss O'Brien said that women have
come to suit their mode of dress. to
their every whim and fancy. In adj
herring to these fads, she said, they
have placed in the discard corsets,
tight-fitting dresses and, in fact, all
clothing in excess of absolute necessity.
Men, on the other hand, the textile
expert declared, still pursue an ultra
conservative tendency, draping them
selves in tight-fitting collars with
knotted ties, Sieeved shirts, hot coats
with padded shoulders, tight belts and
long uncomfortable trousers. These,
with heavy shoes, obstruct body venti-
lation, prevent proper blood circulation
and hinder evaporation Of moisture on
the skin.
She suggests the following as a So
luton to this hot weather problem of
menfolk: Go without coats, discard
the conventional collar and tie, open
shirts at the neck, eliminate sleeves
and wear light fabric short trousers
Sandals might supplant heavy leather
shoes, she said. The clothing should be
of fiimsy, washable material, light In
color. so as to reflect the suns rays.
But even refusing to revolutionize
their mode OF dress, Miss O'Brien con-
tends that the adoption of materials
of lighter weight and color would great
ly manifest masculine comfort these
torrid days.
Carefully selected menus should be
followed for the hot weather, accord.
ing TO Miss Ruth Van Deman, chief
of the information service at the Blu
Teau of Home Economics, in order bet
ter to combat the oppressive heat Diets
should be so prepared as to reduce the
number of calories and retain minerals
and proteins SUFFICIENT to contain nu-
tritious elements. Cold meats, fruits,
salads, vegetables and cold drinks and
desserts are suggested as q most salts
factory combination, Miss Van Deman
said.
