Other Feminine Flufflnsss Bor
rowed From Anothsr Age,
Now In the Llmtlloht
Mew York The radicals are at It
rain. They are agitating for the
standardization of women's dress as a
war measure of equal Importance with
the conservation of food. Rumors of
frocks oil alike, cut by the millions

they may become sisters In their attire
s well as under their skins, com
menu a fashion authority, reach us
from time to time through the sec
tions of the dally. press devoted, to
women' affairs.
Sometimes the arguments are quite
learned. The French revolution la
freely quoted as being the event final
Ij responsible for the standardization
of men's drees. To be suret one of
the first things that Napoleon did.
when be reached the position of being
able to set the fashion, was to make
men's clothes as gorgeous and aa com
pi ex as they had been before the abo
lition of the Bourbons. But the effect
did not last long. "Sans culottlara"
had taken too firm a hold on men's af
fections. They soon went back to
thai dignified but ugly garment, the
long trousers, and they have remained
faithful to them ever since.
Students of the history of costume
cite this as sn example, and tell us
some hopefully, some regretfully that
the preaent Armageddon will do the
same for women. But then come oth
ers etudents, too. bnt students of the
human nature back of the clothes,
rather than of the clothes themselves
and they give an emphatic No I to
the whole proposition.
The standardization of women's
dress boa gone aa far nova as It ever
will,'' is their contention.
Easy to Get Into.
Very busy women and what other
kind Is there at present may make
Insistent demands for clothes that are
easy to get Into. "Easily adjusted,
madam," will sell more gowns this
season than the catch phrase, Thla
la what they're wearing." Coats and
salts and one-piece dresses will main
tain their popularity; "shirtwaists"
that launder like a man's shirt will
refuse to be ousted. But there will
always be more variety In women's
dress than there la In men's, and wom
en as a whole will continue to be more
preoccupied with the question of
wherewithal they shall be clothed.
One reason for the continuance of
variety In feminine attire, In spite of
wars and rumors of wars, Is the fact
that women as a whole are rested by
a change of occupation. So the busi
ness woman, on her return from her
office. Is quite willing to sit down to

WIFE IS AFRAID .
OF HUBBY AND
SEEKS DIVORCE
Iva E. McClellan made a miscalcula
tion when she said "yes" to one Clar
ence S. McClellan, back In Michigan
in 1906, according to the complaint
for divorce filed Monday. The wife
charges that her hiiBband developed
a disagreeable, auspicious, and quar
stocking darning, so that she may con
tinue to wear the thread-bare hose In
which her heart delights; she alts up
late to run ribbons in her lingerie;
she will wash out and Iron her own
neckwear In order that she may make
her serge suit or frock more becoming
by softening It with frills at the throat
Did anyone ever hear of the man who
washed his own collars? He will pol

be will perform this operation more
willingly and oftener than any woman
he will brush hla clothes but there
his sartorial measures of preparedness
end. So be Is naturally restricted to
a form of garment which la easily
kept In order.
Man's Insensibility te temperature.
Another reason Is the average man'
absolute Insensibility to changes la
temperature at least from the wom
an's point of view. He declares that
there l a vast difference In warmth
between bis winter-weight blue serge
and hi summer weight, but no worn
an can see It To her be Is a myt
tery as be goes to bis office on a
boiling August morning, clad complete
ly In wool, with a high-starched collar
round bis neck and thick leather shoe
on his feet Just as great a mystery,
Is she to blm in winter, with her
georgette sleeves, thin stockings and
paper-soled pumps. Probably It is sU
of one and half a dozen of the other.
But there la an army of women who
go clothed In cotton and linen from
May to October; who will pay extra v
agant laundry bill if they live In the
city; who will travel with an electric
ICon In their trunks wheojhey visit
the country; who will pay almost any
price In time, money and convenience
for the privilege of wearing thin
clothes throughout the dog days.
There la a great army of them who
still. In spite of war work, make their
own summer frocks, by the aid of a
tissue paper pattern. There Is anoth
er even larger group who solve six
months' dressmaking problems by buy
ing ginghams and muslins and hiring
the 'services of a dressmaker "by the
day."
Are all these women going to be
bound down by standardization 1 Of
course not . .
8ummer Fabrics Fascinating.
Besides the feminine falling of buy
ing a thing, not because one needa It
but because it is cheap, to which the
makers of summer fabrics have al
ways catered, there Is the eternal fas
cination of the materials themselves
their sympathetic surfaces, their
freshness, their delicious color.

things that remain within the reach

boys here. One of the recent shows
I took in waa In the Oregon building.
We are now sleeping in the race horse
stables of the 1915 fair. The building
has a cement floor, and there are still
quite a number of the fair buildings
remaining standing. These we have
visited. We , are being Instructed in
singing French songs here. ,
While making this trip we noticed
all kinds of hay fields, and the crops
looked good. We had a sleeper while
making this trip, and had comfortable
seats during the day time. One of the
places we stopped at was a mineral
spring. Here we stopped or IS min
utes, thus allowing us to enjoy some
of the mineral water. When we got to
McDonald many of the boys became
Imbibed with the "sparkling" water,
not mineral water, but the Clackamas
county boys certainly behaved well,
and did not do as some of the other
boys. Those who partook of too much

the guard house. We were proud of
Clackamas county boys."

is a better chance for promotion, and
this is what all ambitious people are
looking for. I am still in construction
work, handling men.
"Had quite a sxirprise the other

"I want to thank you very much for
the box of candy, and It seems that
you must know what the soldiers like
when away from home. My Mend,
Casey, told me to thank you also, aa
he enjoyed them as well aa I did. We

the cemetery and decorated the
graves. Our company, the Twenty

the band played Nearer My Ootd To

we stood 'attention' and gave the
salute. The minister has Informed ua
that the officers stationed here a year
