FEWER CLOTHES
WILL HELP TO
WIN p
By Margaret Mason
(Written for the United Press)
We’ve meatless days and wheatless
days
But now then Goodness knows
What will we do on clothesless days
Especially when it snows.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—Can you re
member so far back as the first peek
a-boo, those waists with spots of open
* work that showed one's chemise
" through how very naughty they were
thought by all good folk and true.
How times have changed since those
* old days for waists that now are chic
■* are worn so very thin and frail one
doesn’t need to peek.
And when our skirts began to rise
they caused much consternation, yet
now a cry for shorter ones is sounded
* by the nation.
When evening gowns with just a
belt, and shoulder straps were bodic
cd, the Godly folk all loosed a yelp,
and vowed they were immodest. But
now- a board in Washington, commer
cial economic, says womenfolk are
overdressed. Displays more anatomic
are due to be the outcome 'mongst all
f patriotic ladies though clergymen may
rail at them and swear they’re be k
ed for Hades.
-
Conserving sugar, meat and wheat
! is very necessary, but we must cut
out cloths as well it is essential very.
For soldier togs the wool must go so
females must eschew it, the woolless
silk and cotton wear. They’ve simply
I got to do it. For suits that must con-J
tain some wool the board has made
decree, no belts or pockets must ap-(
--!■
pear the skirts must shorter be. Since
skirts are now up to the knees just
where this sudden rise will draw the
line of modesty we do not dare sur
mise, but ankles soon no treat will be
nor calves cause much surprise.
Time was when maids and matrons
came to opera or ball in decollete cut
quite away to substance very small
And turned their bare backs on the
gapeing hoipoiloi the things behind
their bare backs said were barely nice
at all. But now when ladies thus ap
pear revealing all their charms they
are received with beaming glance and
almost opens arms. The less they
wear the more they are a patriotic
hit because you see with them to show
a bit’s to do their bit.
A saving of material just tw'enty-five
per cent is what will be demanded
now by board and government. But
this is just on woman’s clothes in view
of status quo they really couldn’t
think of asking more than that you
know . Unless like Eva or Leda they
would want us all to go.
The fabric saved on mannish togs Is
quite a good deal bigger a forty per,
cent saving is the last official figger.
Just where they’ll save or how they’ll
save I really cannot say, but cutaway
coats I suppose will be all cut away.
A yard of chiffon soon will make a
nifty business suit and B. V D’s for
evening wear be something rather
cute.
Long trousers soon will be taboo
and go in strong for brevity and much
that then will be on view will be ex-1
cuse for levity. With belts and poc
kets also scratched we’ll soon see
naught amiss when fancy beaded bags
of silk depends from mannish wrist.j
With sleeveless coats like sleeveless
vests no doubt they’ed save a lot al-1
though they’ed be more comforlable If
worn when days are hot
A simple little coat of tan or else a
coat of paint would save an awful lot
of wool and fit without restraint.
The man who'ed give his very shirt
to help someone distressed ve've
heard an awful lot about and now will
Put to test . They say that clothes do
make the man but dressy quite was
Nero, ’twere better that we shed a
few and clotheless make a hero.
So be ye man or be ye maid e’en
though you clothes adore we pray
you shed your garments now and help
to win the war.
