M. P.'s Join Opposition
to Get Votes Not to
Block Government

Labor Party issued statement de-
claring its Opposition" to the new
government and declared it would
support Arthur Henderson, former
Foreign Minister, and his followers.
The sham nature of the opposition
is glaringly revealed in the complete
absence Of any campaign on their
part to resist the oncoming attacks
against the workers to be put into eff
feet by the government headed by
the socialist" Macdonald.
NEW YORK.-A joint meeting of
the former associates of Macdonald
in the National Labor Party execu-
tive committee, the consultative COM
mittee of the Parliamentary Labor
Party, and the Trade Union Council
met Wednesday and passed a reso-
luton asserting that this joint
meeting unanimously favors that the
new government should be vigorously
opposed in parliament and by the
labor movement throughout the
country"
At the same time, these Labor
Party members voted to call another
meeting to work out proposals to
save British capitalism without put
ting into effect openly the cut in IN
employment insurance. The entire
object Of these three organizations
is to keep the workers quiet in order
not to stir up action while Mac
Donald goes through with his plans.

How Much
Do We Owe
Eugene?
P~etticoats And Sfays,
Flat t1eeIed S h 0 Q s
And CrinoIines Are
Some Of Her THINGS
We Neglect.

WE still talk of Empress
w Eugenie Fashions. Eu-
genie hats, Eugene dresses,
Eugene wraps and Eugene
sleeves. And yet when you
look present day clothes over
in a thorough way and then
look over the fashion plates
Of the days when Eugene was
a real person and not a mere
tradition, you discover that
there is about as big a differ
ence between present-day
fashions and the fashions of
Eugenie's day as could pos
sibly exist. Our whole attitude
toward clothes is different.
The ladies Of Eusenie's day
wore tightly laced corsets and
we do not, they wore a half dozen
full ~petticoats or they didn't feel
properly dressed and the.- wore
crinolines or tNops. We wear
smart high heeled shoes, at least
for formal occasions, and Eugenie
wore funny little low heeled shoes
that couldn't possibly be called
smart.
There are a dozen other strik-
ing differences between the
clothes OF today and the clothes
that Eugene wore and yet II isn't
surprising. Because that is pre-
cisely what happens when a so
called revival occurs in fashions.
Back in the 1SS0's there was a
Greek revival. and yet IL there
was ever a time when women's
clothes were opposed to the Greek
ideals OF dress II was in the days
when women wore bustles and
bangs. And there was a Direc-
toire revi Il back in 1908 or 1909
when the only similarity between
fashions Sld those OF the real Di-
rectoirF period was the raised
waistlfTe.
And speaking OF Eugene fash
ions and negligees, reminds us
that the illustrious Eugene her
self never wore them. The story
goes that the only time she pos
sessed what ladies called wrap
pers" in those days was when her
beloved o had the measels and
she had to sit beside his bed at
night Otherwise the proud en-
press Just had lao use for a
negligee dress OF any sort. She
took clothes seriously and once
she had risen in the morning she
Immediately went through the
elaborate business OF getting
properly dressed. Often she had
occasion TO change her dress
many times a day but she never
allowed herself the privilege OF
dressing zen negligee."
And there you have another
great difference between the Eu-
genie ideal and our own when
negligees play such an important
role in the wardrobes OF most
women.
