WELL PAID WOMEN BUY NEW CLOTHES Female Workers Taking Place of Men, Make Good Use of Their Income. v DAINTIER FROCKS IN DEMAND Dinner Gowns and Evening Wraps Are Added to Many Wardrobes--Con- ditions Have Lifted the Art of Dress. A New York.--A wounded Anzac had come to America to lecture. some honorable scars on his body, which were symbolized by stripes om bis arm. A woman touched the stripes and asked what were his worst wounds, He described one, which was a clean hole made by a bullet. In his informal Anzac mi , he asked if she would like to see it. She would. So would everyone élse at.the luncheon. So he sliowed her the bullet hole below the collar bone. "How very disappointing!" she ex- "I expected a great gash." The Anzac bufioned his collar thoughtfully, and turning to the table | sald: "Now, I ask you, what are going to do, with women if they begin to expect so much of wen in this war?" And what will they do with them? Men have begun to expect so muck of themselves, that the situation is the most vitally interesting thing on this planet, next to the war, observes a dis- tinguished fashion writer, Women are galning so much more by this war than they over demanded, that 'many are puzzled and some are near- hysterical, Once we were a contented race; then we became an unquiet sex; then we became a restless force; and then we became a militant power. Those with the keenest visions saw shead of them a long struggle, They outlined the propaganda of self-eduea- tion for women ; they lectured to men and of men concerning what we should have In the way of industry and com- mercial opportunity, Whenever men said that we were not sufficiently edu- cated to take over the commercial bur- dens of the world, we retorted that we would never be educated if we did not begin to study. © Women Spend More Money. Of one thing the prophets are sure; that women, making money, will spend more. Not having to ask for it, they will cease to be petulant about it. When #8 woman knows there are three thousand jobs open to her and that she can command as good a salary as the man she sent to war, she is not going to be niggardly about getting new clothes, enjoying herself and re- furnishing ber house. Human pature never changes, no matter what else changes on this plan- et; and spending will be a woman's an- tidote te hard work. If she has been He bore | sive knowledge of what other women want, and do not want. With train- ing, which will give them a rool hesd. a smooth tongue and the ambition to rise, they will make admirable clerks, floarwalkers, headg of departments, buyers and shopkeepers. It is toward the apparel business that they are rapidig drifting. That is their desire, and all thelr preliminary train- ing of the centuries has fitted them for this particular sector of industry. Be- ing in the business, they will spend more money on clothes, and they will influence the gxpenditures of other women. This is tue situgtion which all seri- ous-minded women sgslize and which will\probably dominate (he country be fore peace is concluded. It is useless to tell that they must not buy clothes. yormers mean well but they are yiautin Black satin, tulle and lace. There Is a long tunic, which starts with a pointed bodice built of the satin and swings free over a tight petticeat of black Chantilly lace. There [9 a shaw! of black tulle, which stands well away from the shoulders and reaches to the elbows, on barren soil. There must be some pleasure in this world, or we would all go mad with the pain and anxiety of it and if you ask three million women to work for their living, you must give them the chante to deck themselves out in a bit of gay plumage and go out and eat and laugh; otherwise, they will become useless for all service, pa- triotic or Industrial. Demand for Evening Clothes, Let me tell you an odd thing about this development of women's work, which has been brought about not only | through their' service in paying poéi- "| tions, but in war relief work. It is the growing demand for eve ning clothes by women who bave here- fore never indulged in them. We are only following in, the footsteps of human nature as it bas asserted itself 4n France and England during the last gighteen months. Paris hes shown an extraordinary interest in this develop- Tment, and the London thinkers and merchants have found it to be an en- grossing by-product of the war. Evening dress has always been a thing for the luxurious. It has been indulged in by those whose lives were more or less given to leisure. Millions of women have not considered it nec essary to change their somber street clothes into-low or half-low, fragile ones for the evening meal or evening gayeties. The street sult, with a few ve filled In the rest of the service needed. : But this condition no longer exists in Europe, and it has changed in Afner. fca In the twinkling of an eye. ? more opportunities; industry, charity, war relief, hospital service and com- mittee work have brought women from the depths of social obscurity Into hourly contact with those who lead fashions and live leisurely lives. All of this has lifted the art of dress Instead of ddgrading it.
