‘ + \ | Bown in his shoes when he realizes the What It Cost a Girl to Droak Gwenty Years yee “And What It Would Cost the Same Girl To-Day. N an address delivered before the I Young Women's Sodality of the Blessed Virgin in Trenton, N. J,, ‘the Right Rev. Monsignor Fox made ‘the statement that the expensive clothes fworn by the young gitls of to-day had the affect of preventing young men Gom asking thom to be their wives, “A poor young man's heart drops pest of the thingé the girls wear in order to be stylish,” he sald, “God Delp the gresent d#y young woman and her style, God eave the young man fom style!” It ig universally admitted that the everage girl of to-day \s more stylish than her prototype of Afteen or twenty Wears ago. And the denunciation of Monsignor Pox prompts the inquiry as te how much her atyle costs her, From tables prepared by one of the Most competent women in ‘New York to dea) with this Interesting problem ‘with actual facts and figures, Mrs, Me- Loud, who for more than twenty years has been the head of the suit devart- ment in @ prominent New York store, it ‘will be seen that to make a fair appear- Plourning. fo of The Evening World: 1 Shoulder ye Ret om pacreree f ath of a oll ‘ANGELA RRISON. * It de neither wise nor In good taste to put children under fifteen years of age fm mourning, ard no girl under seven- ‘en should wear crepe.

Her superior style, therefore, costs her just 7.60, and that, according to Mgr. Fox, is what scares modern young men away from matrimony, But this difference, as Mrs, McLoud explained, is not due to any pronounced increase in the cowt of the clothes them- selves. It ls not prices that have grown, but the girls’ ideas, in acoordance with the American tendency to make the luxuries of one generation the necesst- tes of the next. “Every girl of to-day who considers herself well dressed," sald Mra MoLoud, “must have her set of furs, Now, twen- ty years ago furs were not nearly so much worn. Their use was generally confined to older women, That one item alone, therefore, makes a differ- enoe of from $3 to HO—the cost of « moderate-priced stole and muft, “Every irl to-day must have her tallor sult, which mgane, for a really styMsh garment, from $95 to $0. Now, in moderate clroumstances wore dresses for which they purchased the materials and which were made at home or with ‘the ald of a dresemaker at from $1.60 ot 2 a day, A pretty little dress could be made up in this way for from $12 to $15. The tatlor suit requires a separate waist, which costs usually about §, while the $12 dress necessitated an outer goat, -which could be purchased for $15, | Shoes are a little cheaper to-day, gloves about the same, hats are more expen- vive ($8 was a very good price for the woman in moderate circumstances ot pay; to-day the equivalent value will coat her $12), “There was @ great deal more sewing done at home than there is now, be- cause the tailor-made garment waa un- known. Much of the lingerie was made at home which to-day {s purchased in department stores. “Then, too, people wore their clothes | much longer. A woman was not then| ashamed to wear the same garment two or even three winters, She would not think of such a thing to-day, “The reason why women spend more money on thelr clothes is because they have it to spend. And tt is their own money that they earn themselves, “The hesitation concerning matri- rs ago the sult consisting of unknown.

Without taking the least notice of any ‘of the numerous oveupants of the cafe she turned her back on them, and ap- parently busied herself in chocking the Contents of the cash register, Beyond thia useful instrument was a mirror, and Brett at once perceived that from the point where she stood she cold commana a Feflection of woe | Sink-and-white Frenchman, By Louis Tracey. man finished the remaing of his cog- Into the atréet. pee. himself from following him, he was certain that no one could leave the residential portion of the window—and the resolutely resolved to devote himself for that night to shad- owing the movements of the ex-circus His patience and self-denial were soon rewarded.
