BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH, Are fashions for women barbarous? ‘We heard, yesterday, the case against the modern woman presented by an able and relentless prosecutor, Mr. Arthur Stringer. Ladies and gentle- men of the jury, the defense has yet to offer its argument to which the readers of The Evening World are asked to contribute. If you have any reason to offer for or against the charge that Judy O'Grady, the Colonel's lady and this season's Igorote belle are all sister barbarians, do make it known now or else forever after hold your peace. If you are a woman and deny you are a barbarian, let us hear why. tee Personally, I don’t mind our being zs os called barbarous at all. The accusa- NIXOLA GREELEY- SMITH tion is just another proof of the qual: ity and degree of our supercivilization. If you are an artist, you learn first how to draw and then you learn to forget to draw. If you area writer, you Jearn first to write and then you learn to forget to write. That is, you spend years in acquiring a manmer, a technique or « style, and then you take Out and lose it—and by exactly these processes, the super-civilised eex has cahieved the present effect of barbarism. By slow, laborious protesses, we have acquired civilisation and that supreme barbarity miscalled refinement; and now, just to how how much we are at home with it, just to demonstrate how much we are masters of our medium of expression, we chuck it over News Oddilics —— that’s all. i ‘Mr. Stringer Geclares woman “has/the world hme ever seen, had cssenth Professionalized her prettiness.” Cer-jally the eame costume fur hundreds of tainly she has, and why not?

Stewart & Co., Broadway, Fourth Avenue, Eighth to Tenth Street. The World’s Best Underwear for the whole Family—1,100 Styles— is in the Wanamaker Store. YEARS of travel and testing—the testing of makers as well as their products—were necessary before we could print this and know it to be the truth. \ A simple matter—a knitting of cotton, linen, wool or silk. Yet how differently different people do it. We have weeded which is noteworthy. out all not worthy and selected only that In most of the 1100 styles we show, special improvements suggested by our long experience, have been incorporated. For Men—308 Styles from Twenty Makers in France, England, Germany and our United States—twenty out of hundreds. In them the best obtain- able yarns. Proportion and dimen- sions of each size carefully determ- ined with a view to proper fit. From England, » fine assortment of shirts and drawers in unshrink- able all wool, or silk and wool, and balbriggan. From France, shirts and drawers of balbriggan and unshrinkable me- rino. From Germany, shirts and drawers of silk or silk mixed, some German linen mesh is imported by the piece and made up into garments here to sell at $2.50 a garment. America makes for us shirts and drawers of cotton, mercerized cotton, merino and, all-wool, also combins-. tion suits, perfect fitting, of cotton, mercerized cotton, silk and wool, wool and mercerized merino or silk. Prices range from 50c for balbriggan shirt or drawers to $1% for a com- bination suit of silk. Burlington Arcade floor, New Bldg For Women—681 Styles from Twenty-five Makers in England, Switzerland, Germany and the United States, Swies underweer bas acquired a repu- tation that clears our shelves of it long before the Winter is over de- spite the fact that we order more of it each year. It is made different from ordinary productions, the yarns are stronger, it wears better, sizes are larger, buttons are added not to be found on other underwear, reinforcing is had where necessary. Many of the merino wool, and silk and merino styles are guaranteed to be unshrink- able, T5c to $5. Our tailor-made underwear is mads in America, and with the possible exception of one number or two is confined to this store. For this tailor-made underwear we discarded one of our best styles, because « year ago we found, by careful examina- tion, that the one-one or fine stitch tailor-made was far better. Tailor-made material is laundered, and shrunk before being made up, so that the garments will always retain their clean, new, fresh appear- ance after repeated launderings, and will not shrink. 60c for cotton vests or drawers to $2.25 for merino combination suits. Main floor, New Stewart Building. For Children—111 Styles from Thirteen Makers fo Germany and the United States. The great trouble with much of the children’s underwear on the market is that it is skimped, not properly proportioned, will not fit. Wanamaker underwear is specially made for us. A certain famous maker of children's underwear came to us one day years ago. ‘ “Why don’t you use more of our underwear?” he asked. “We should like to,” we told him, “but the sleeves and legs of your garments are too short.” “Nobody else says s0,” he replied; “you must be too particular.” e “Well,” we said, “if you don’t be- lieve us go to the people to whom you sell and find out if they do not complain of the same thing.” When he came back he was e sur- prised man. Everybody told him the same thing. He said: “If you will give me your scale of measurements | will adopt them to our factory.” He came a year ago to us and said that in the last ten years they had doubled their already great business. Prices range from @5c for a cotton shirt to $2.70 for a merino combina- tion suit. Main floor, New Stewart Building. “Why: Don’t We Talk?” asked the chief of our Men’s Furnishing Specialty Shops, as he turned in,.as part of the news of the day, a memorandum which stated— “Wanamaker values in Men's sweaters are excellent —in some cases better values than I found elsewhere,” This memorandum came from an impartial critic, who had carefully examined the stocks of men’s sweaters in six other leading New York shops—a critic unknown to the man most interested. : “ Most interested!" We are wrong. Every man is equally interested in knowing the fact stated. Find these excellent sweaters, at $2 to $6.50, on the Burlington Arcade floor, New Building.
