America Is Acquiring Taste Social Glub For Music, Speaker Declares National Musical Chairman of the General Fed- ‘eration of Women’s Clubs Urges Daily Music Hours in the Home—Music No Longer Thing Apart From Our Lives, She Says in Address Music has become a force and not an adjunct in the life of every American citizen, cago, Women’s clubs, great Bargain Sale Gowns Often Clever Buys Originality in Making the Neces- sary Changes Makes It Pos- sible to Obtain Smart Frocks At Very Little Cost Many of the frocks that are of- fered by stores in their bargain sales haye some extreme feature about them that blocks their sale on the regular show counters. As a rule the shopper without imagination will re- ject the model which is either too old fashioned or too extreme in fashion without using her mind's eye in try- ing’ to rearrange the one unbecom- ing feature of an otherwise attractive gown. Kvmight be that an unattractive neck line or an awkward length sleeve or a touch of the inharmon- fowts will spoil the appearance of an otherwise pretty dress made of good materials. In nearly every case the shopper with initiative can see a way of altering the dress which in reality will make it a bargain. Sometimes shortening on overskirt length, or taking in a seam in the flare skirt whieh has proved to be a drug on the, market, will entirely change the silhouette lines of a model from the “Hikeville” style to the mode of gay Paree. Now that sleeves of contracting materials are seen in the best of shops a sale gown may be changed into the smartest frock of a wardrobe by aéding new sleeves. Originality in ever case is the helpmeet of the bar- gain hunter whose imagiyation may run wild without creating more: than a riot .of color. It is no. unusual that plain white collar and cuffs change the “price appearance” of a dress and the white net vest and col- lar sets are not to be done without in the art of transforming gowns. Bargaip sales in this way. offer op- portunity for visualizing new lines and original touches making the bar- gain buyer an imaginative artist in- stead of the old picture of hairpins away and hats awry. All Hats Foolish Especially Men’s Jason Started It ‘The headgear of the Civilized man is one of the most preposterous ab- surdities ever known in the history pf human adornment, writes William Ee. Barton. Because styles change often and the pbsolescence of fashion is there most promptly and certainly ‘discovered, the question “Where did you get that bat?” has long been used to chal- lenge innovations and to deride the appearance of headdress that has out lived its popularity. There was a time when the song, “Where Did You Get That Hat?’ rose almost to the of @ national anthem. oar back to the books of Apo- trypha, if you have them in your grandfather's bible, and see where you get that hat. Jason Did It. You will find in the second book of the Maccabees how Jason, the mnworthy high priest, attempted to curry favor with Antiochus by erect- ing a gymnasium and attempting to popularize Greek customs. And that he made hats fashionabie among. young men: “He brought up new customs against the law; for he gladly built a place of exercise under the tower it self, and brought the young men un- fer his subjection, and made them wear a hat."—2 Maccabees. 4:12. Look at Them. Look at the bearskin hat of the frum-major whom we all admired in pur? ehildhood. Lok at the stovepipe hat which even now we sometimes wear on oc- mn. Tpok at the derby, which has not a single redeeming feature either of beauty or utility. ‘And then look in the glass, and see a foolish person who has to follow the fashions even when he knows they are, stupid and ugly. ‘The women are wiser than men in thefr generation. Women’s: hats*aré foolish and expensive, bit they are attractive, and those of the men are not. No sensible man can blame the Jews who. revolted at ‘the wickedness of Jason in introducing into Jerusalem the fashion of wearing hats. pa ee Sausage Rolls Ten pork sausages, 2 cups of flour, teaspoons baking powder, pinch of salt, 2 small tablespoons lard.
