BUDGETING EASTER WARDROBE IS JOYOUS ADVENTURE
Chic Outfit in Reach of Slim Purse Etonorov ned not mean the sacrifice of jmartnfH In selectinc voor torin clothes. Here I* the first of a series of three articles on ‘‘Badcelinr Your Easter Wardrobe," which will appear in The Times. The second will be printed heat Monday. BY JULIA BLANSHARD N'EA Service Writer NEW YORK, March ID.—One of America's biggest assets are the hundreds of working girls who get from sls to $25 a week, live on it, thrive on it and dress like Paris mennequins on it. This Easter these girls and the stay-at-home women with approximately the same amount to spend for clothes, will find budgeting their spring clothes wardrobe a joyous adventure in chic. First, they can get so much more for the same money this year than last. Second, there is a much wider diversity of styles to pick from. Third, with thrift the undertone of the nation and spend-that-others-mayspend the overtone, there is real satisfaction in laying out money and getting full return. Here’s Your Budget If you are in this income category, you may have around $25 for everything and your budget should run something like this: Costume SIO.OO to $15.00 Hat 2.00 to 3.50 : Gloves, stockings, and scarf or flower ... 2.00 to 5.00 I Shoes 3.50 bo 5.00 j Obviously, the costume should be | selected first, since the amount you j will have for accessories will depend j on your investment in this. There are three or four salient choices for the girl with around $25 to spend for her Easter wardrobe. She may get a silk frock suit, if she lives in a warm clime; she may get a jaunty little suit, a dress with different colored jacket, a coat to wear over costumes she has, or o silk suit. Printed Silks Give Variety There arc multitudinous printed silk frocks with matching jackets in either the boelro or the hiplength jacket that runs anywhere from $8.95 or $lO up to $14.95. If you are buying one of these remember these points: Black and white prints are always chic, brown and green are new’ and good, reds are quickly tired of, and purples the hard to match, but the good old blues are seen everywhere, are tremendously easy to match up and one of the best bets in the world. A chic little frock ensemble of blue and white print has a frock wtih cap sleeves, fitted lines and a white tucked net vestee, over which slips a long bolero jacket of the same material, with three-quarter sleeves, that ties in front with a little bow. Second in line comes the jacket and skirt suit, with one of the popular gingham blouses that every girl loves this spring. This suit is in the sls class, but it is all right to spend that much, for theer are fewer accessories needed. Knee Flounces of Pleats The skirt has one of the new knee flounces of pleats, the jacket is cut away slightly and the sleeveless gingham blouse is square-necked. With this, one of those little, little hats that sit on the back of the head and can be picked up for a song this spring, a pair of black patent leather and simulated sharkskin shoes, white chamois gloves and a black Easter parade. If you are an individual type, there is anew type of costume you may like this spring, a skirt and jacket of contrasting colors, with the darker tone on top. One of these is a brown skirt, buttoned up the front, of crepella, with a flaring, abovc-the-hips box jacket of the new henna tone of red that is flattering as can be and gay at, the same time. Gay Colors Best Lastly, if you are very young and dare things, there are lots of inexpensive jersey, silk or sheer wool suits that are composed of frocks with matching jackets and then
Indiana Girl is Rewarded
WHEN children are weak and run-down, they are easy prey to colds or children's diseases. So it fs never wise to neglect those weakening and depressing symptoms, such as bad breath, coated tongue, fretfulness, feverishness, biliousness, lack of energy and appetite, etc. Nine times out of ten these things point to one Mothers all around you are coming right out in public to tell how their children are being relieved of this trouble bv California Fig Syrup. Mrs. Ray Bundy, of 245 South Randolph Street, Indianapolis, says: “A neighbor told me about it, so I decided to give Margie some California Fig Syrup when I saw by her bad breath, coated tongue and feverishness that she w’as constipated. “She has been more than rewarded for taking Fig Syrup. It made her a well, happy girl promptly. She never complains of any symptoms of constipation now.” The genuine, endorsed by doctors for 50 years, always bears the word California. All drugstores.

Just Everv Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
“QHALL all homes fall?” queries a southern gentleman and forthwith accuses women of the crime of destroying them, while he takes this column to task for hastening the evil day. “Women,” sez he, “are home-breakers. Women steal jobs from men. Women will work for less money. Women are ruining the country.” The trouble with men who reason thus is that they do not have the ability to imagine themselves in a woman's place. Their minds run in well-defined ruts. They regard “the female” as a “tiling” and not a person. The idea of believing that every woman in the land should live in a way outlined for her by man is the very height of absurdity. Underwork and overwork always have shaped woman’s destiny. But the right to work is essential to the happiness of us, as it is to men. Parasites always deteriorate, and most women in this country prior to the war were either domestic slaves or parasites. Neither I condition could possibly make for 1 progress or happiness. * a MEN who believe that women should now be content with dull routine work* at home—for which no wage is paid—and relinquish all opportunity to findvocations, prove themselves poor thinkers indeed. But the average American man is so absorbed in making a living or a fortune that he no longer is interested in life. His imagination is atrophied and nowhere does he demonstrate this so clearly as in his thinking about woman and her problems. The country, I believe, would be benefited vastly if all the men ceased criticising us and looked into their mirrors. For. fundamentally, they are responsible for the troubles that now beset us. And perhaps their greatest stupidity is the fact that they persist in regarding women, not as a force in the life of the nation, but as a bunch of cooks on a strike. Mrs. Kinnick Jr. Feted Mrs. Benjamin F. Kinnick Jr. was honored at a bridge part,*/ given Wednesday night by Mrs. A. E. Glidden and Mrs. E. M. Campbell at the home of Mrs. Gliddeii, 2439 North Talb# street.
