Timely Economics.

Coming, as the reform does, at the hour when spring and summer fashions are being conceived, the necessity for being careful with worsted material brings less hardship than if the reform had been launched last July. It is true that the great mass of people who do not live in the South and Southwest buy a vast quantity of lightweight worsted clothes for February, March and April; but they are .quite willing to have the worsted enlivened by chiffon, satin, silk or georgette crepe. If the women of this country understand what is.behind the new fashions they will enter into the spirit of conservation with as eagerness and zealous desire to do right as they have in the saving of meat, wheat, sugar and cereals.
