Grown , ups are apt to pat themselves on the back whenever they evolve out of their mature and well bal anced minds some needed reform, but for such a thing as this to come about through a group of young girls gives it special significance and weight It should furnish food for thought for many grown-ups, for in its way is not extravagance in, dress a thing to be found amonjr many other classes? Ex travagance and unfit clothing are seen every day on girls behind counters and desks. ' Over Dressing Called a llo. Portland winters do not allow the safe wearing of low necked and short sleeved lingerie waists. The darker and more substantial things are. not only more suitable and comfortable but they are often less expensive, a thing that wage earning girls should always remember, for the "rainy day" Is sure to come and then a Uttlo bank account will look vastly better and bigger than a whole box of filmy finery. Over-dressing is a Bin of wnich wo men of all classes are guilty. Not all women, but some women from every walk of life may be seen parading about the streets In the morning in sweeping satin gowns and wearing hats concealed beneath veritable "weeping willows," for somehow they do, look sort of "weepy" when worn at the. wrong time. In the action of the Lincoln High school girls there Is a lesson for every woman and girl In the city. Even the boys, while they perhaps may not be ac cused of extravagance In dress, are In tensely Interested in this movement and one of the popular young gallants of the Lincoln High said of the movement: Its the finest thing that ever hap pened in Oregon."
