AN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20.-~ Mere man was getting a re- spite from the assaults of the Women's Christian Temperance union today, The national con vention of the organization, in session here today, was center ing ite attention almost entirely upon women, Women's clothes, health and women's cigs had their hour on the con floor. It started with the exhibition ot the “chameleon gown,” the five-in-one creation sponsored by the health section of the organ ization. Exhibited at a “hygienic fashion show’ it was the cause of many revelations, Chief among those revelations wag the fact that the W. C. T. U. believes women intend to continue wearing trousers. They mean the khaki sort, variously known as “hiking pants” and other names. But corsets—well, their death ant already has been signed “The time will come when our girls are physically developed in such @ manner as to make cor- sets unnecessary,” declared Dr, Valeria Parker. And short skirte— “When short skirts merely al- low free movement,” said Dr Parker, “it is all right, but when the shortness is combined with tightness and assoc lated with lacy, peek-a-boo stockings, then they are to be condemne “4 But, Dr. Parker added, clothes women's ets, all ention CORSETS DOOMED, SHORT SKIRTS OK, DECIDES W.

Estelle, chairman of the anti-narcotle conference She attributed the vogue for smoking among women to the war, “Many a girl took her first puff as an act of good fellowship while cheering some «ick or wounded soldier,” she declared, But the anti-tobacco campaign will not mean prohibitory leg- islation, It will be educational, “It will be 50 or 100 years be- fore the country 1s ready to pro- hibit tobacco,” she sald.
