By Fay Stevenson. “Woman's greed for fine clothes is the curse of the Nations.” That is the gist of what Judge Louis D. Gibbs said in the Bronx County Court when a woman, ar- rayed in an expensive fur cout and wearing many diamonds, called to the witness stand, where her husband was on trial for de- frauding a millinery manufacturer through bribery of a porter and a shipping clerk. “The majority of women are using the dollar mark to-day to steer their husbands into jail.'* said Judge Gibbs, ‘In these times of furs and diamonds the modern wife or daughter doesn't ask where the dirty dollar is coming from. And somehow the man will get the money—if not by honest toil, then by criminal methods." was But to the rescue comes Miss Helen P. McCormick, Assistant District Attorney of Kings County, President of the Catholic Big Sis- ters of Brooklyn and a magazine writer upon matrimonial infelici- tes. “Few women will agree with Judge Gibbs that women’s greed for tine clothes is the curse ot the Nation,” s: Miss McC mick with a merry twinkle in ne keen brown eyes. women are men in their wardrobe an caleulating what it will cost.” “But what about the who has five spring bats to her hus- band’s new fedora and probably six summer bonnets, to his one straw?” 1 asked just to en- courage Miss McCormick's fem inine line of deiense. You know just as well as [ Wile do that the average woman does not buy more than one or two hats a son," countered Miss McCormick. “Most of the womet? of the family are the real econ- omical members. It is the woman who usually makes it her busi- ness to save the small amounts and thus insure large savings at the end of th ‘| believe there are just as many men who like to dress and wear ‘the latest’ as there are women,” continued Miss Me- Cormick. “And if the truth were known, woman who {s thorougt home a great deal does without a new spring suit and hat so that hubby may flourish forth in new business clothes, She realizes that he is the one who epresents the family and gladly goes without. “To say that the majority of women dress so extravagantly that they drive their husbands to jail would be pretty hard upon this type of woman,” pointed out Miss McCormick. “Of course, T admit there is a certain type of woman who goes in for nothing but clothes, but she does not rep- esent the lar ass of women Probably to all the dvessea women there 1s a propo etionate number of over dres men, There are a number of men who are fond of spats, jewelry It is also a recog- fact that after any great men who have been in uni extreme styles. and fur coats. nized ro in for it is claimed men are ‘a like birds of Paradise while mere woman {s wearing Grecian lines and looking like a litle wren to show him off.” Then | asked Miss McCormick that beloved old question of, Do women dressy to please women or the oppc Bex’ The keen cyed little D t Attorney straightened in her chair as she laughed, “That all depends upon the individual woman. But let me say that when a woman dresses to please another woman . she dresses exquisitely, using the best of materials and the finest of feathers, When a woman dresses to please a man she gocs in more for color effects and gen- eral impressions, because she knows he doesn't, know one ma- terial from another. “Haven't you ever noticed that when you have on some horrible old hat with a bright colored flower, & man will probably tell you the hat is most becomin| giggled Miss MeCormick, yet probably it is an affair which would spoil your whole day should you chance to meet your best woman friend."" And of course there isn't a woman on earth who hasn't had just this experience! “But to come back to Judge Gibbs and his statement that the majority of women are using the dollar mark jo steer their hvs- bands into jail because of their love of fine feathers," I said, “what about the man who wants h wife to dress extermely weil just as he wants her to live ina fine residential section, becaure these things represent him? “I was just coming to him announced Miss McCormick “Sometimes it is the absolute ¢ of a wife to look her best, She represents her husband's station in life and is his show window To see his wife dressed in furs and diamonds and silks and laces is as much a pleasure to this as the sun type of worldy man and the stars and the moon t a poet “There is a place in life for clothes and diamonds and t warmly declared Miss McUormick, “and I think the averaye woman who indulges in these things knows her husband's income 4 sufficient to stand the strain. 1 do not believe that this woman is pushing her husband to the or urging him to get more 1 quite regurdless of how he it, Sines only criminals are 5 per cent of the women and the other 95 per cer men, it hardly looks as 1 woul put her lust f nord to have a new sowr ha 1 quite 8 income and dress according reluded Miss MeCormick many cases when her husban! has "4 bad yeur’ she slows down on her wardrobe and qu nkiy con fesses that she do without until things pick up, When a woman is seemingly extravagant und beyond her husband income it is be eo has faites to tell her the truth about mone mutter “Couples who work upon the partnership basis know Just how much to allow clot and the husband | to forge cheeks or cheat at poker to buy his wife a looking 1 ney gown or a new hat T don't: be lieve the woman + anil her husband's tiv sndition goes in for fur imonds any more for fur ats and fancy seait -- > ARREST IN TRENTON MAY CLEAR HARLEM MURDER Detectives Bu East 123d $ . ko. to Trenton to seek on fro Clifford —Harima wenty-twe home, who w. there fas murder night in connection John Berry, fi West 123d Sireet Berry, who owned partment house at No. 440 Ba ) Saud em i ied sku All Pink ‘and White and Lost, “Mere wearing Grecian lines and looking like a lit- tle wren to stow him off.” But Whose Little Girl Is She?
