Implacable Sartorial Commandment adiTto four color schemes

Possibly he regarded everything and everybody with a jaundiced eye when he informed all and sundry th t women from sixteen to sixty looked exactly alike; that they lacked individuality and desired nothing better than to be turned out precisely like each other. But we have to admit that his irate wife's defence of her sex lacked conviction.

T OOK over the women of to-day—big Lt women, little women, fat women, thin women, blonde or brunette, silver-haired arid just plain mouse — there they are, all wearing the same type of hats, the same style of frock, the same colors. Take Mrs. X. She is —well, we'll be kind, and say plump—with a round, childish face, and a short neck. She wears a tiny brimmed felt hat with a ridiculous what-not on the side. Why?
