What the Business Girl Wears to Her Work; _ What Should She Wear? “Most Men Prefer Simplicity to Paint and Cheap Jewelry,” Asserts J.L.T.,a Business Man—Men Show Little Interest in Their Work if Their Attention Is So Easily Distracted From It, Hints a Business Girl. | By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. T O-DAY a man bravely gives us his idea of the proper dress for the business girl. And, just to even up matters, two young women criticize in the most brutal fashion the attire of the young business man! This is turning the tables with a vengeance. Some of the bitterest indictments of the dress of the business girl have come to me from her youthful co-workers of the opposite sex. How do they like to eee themselves as a. the girls see them? And {s(t true that the average young man of to-day wears flashy and improper clothes in the office where he works? Perhaps we have devoted less time than wo should to this phase of our @iscussion. Perhaps the modern young man Is indeed emerging, like a butterfly, from the sober sartorfal cocoon which has enclosed American Mankind for generations. I should Ike to hear my correspondents’ »pin- fons on this point. And what Is tle) men's answer to the charge that, dur- | ing business hours, they indulge tn) short trousers, loud socks, passionate! tlés and hug-me-tight coats? IT remember that not long ago T had to write a story about fall fashions | for men. And I did find every eort of men set the girla @ good example and deprive many an iy headed youth of his loud ties, loud hosiery, loud silk shirts, hug-me-tight, igh - waistline coats and short trousers and fool- ish hats. who does about improper clothe: ness girls struts to h a frock coat and hi model bu! It seems to me that it is a case of the “pot calling the kettle black.” I do dislike always hearing the fe. malo sex, particularly the business girl, “picked upon,” E. G.

My business hap- pened to take me into one of thy big department stores on lower Sixth Avenue one day last month, and whil Peasing through the third floor this conerrn I noticed the following She was about very pretty. She w: plain black dress of some Inex- pensive material; she had on what 1 would cal! a Martha Washing: ton collar set, one of those big - affairs that envolop the shoul |' jers and are so dainty (! think that is the word commonly used), With little frills around the whole, White cuffs completed this outfit, with a neck not too low and skirts that gave just a glimpse of white stockings with a plain little black slipper. Her hair was dressed low on her neck with Bome sort of a wave in it which 1 know was natural. | of course had to look at the young lady @ long time to believe that such a sweet, wholesome thing really ox- lated. I sincerely think that, no matter what a girl looks like, If she would adopt this style of dress tt would tm- prove her. It was altogether the nicest and most wholesome picture T have encountered tn a long, long time, After all is said and done, I think (and 60 do many, men to whom I have spoken on this subject) that the 3 attire goes.
