Chicago Tribune. r'i 4 ft Group of Businoos (Prepared by the United Stataa Dapartmant of Agriculture.) A great deal has beeu written and said on the cost of womens clothes, with special attention to the attire of the business woman and the amount of money that should be spent on dress In proportion to what Is earned. The United States Department of Agriculture has received an Interesting record of what can actually be done when a sensible girl makes up her mind that she ought to keep her clothing expenses down to a minimum and at the same time look attractively and appropriately dressed both at the office and at social affairs outside of business hours. In the first place the premise must be granted that the most successful way to reduce the cost of a commodity is to eliminate as far as possible the Items of labor and distribution cost. A girl who cannot sew has little chance of reducing her clothing budget unless she meets with extraordinary luck Jn finding bargains. One who is willing and has the time to substitute some of her own labor for that represented In the price of the readymade garment is on the road to real economy. Tlie business girl may Justly claim that she has little time or energy to make clothes for herself, when her day at the office is over. In the case of a skilled sewer, however, who enjoys an occupation that Is a change from desk work and has a creative element, both tbe time and energy may be found. Returned Sewing Record.

Here are the details of Elizabeth Browns wardrobe, which required a cash outlay of $108.34. A conservative estimate places the cost of equivalent ready-mad- e garments as good in quality at $210. After pricing coats In tlie stores and finding that she could not buy one of tlie quality or kind that she wanted for less than $50, Elizabeth decided to make her own winter coat with the aid of the dress form. She bought tan broadcloth and good lining material and made it herself for a total outlay of $21.61. A blue voile dress with a slip, was next attempted. Commercial hemstitching for trimming was $1.85, bringing the cost of a very useful dress up to $11.09. A tissue gingham dress came to $6.33, including organdie for trimming and also hemstitching; another gingham dress made out of Rcraps and a remnant cost only 45 cents. Dresses for Social Affairs. A dress of pussy willow taffeta and georgette crepe served for Informal social occasions. The Investment of $16 for materials produced a dress that could not have been bought ready made In the same quality for less than $35. Similarly Elizabeths business dress of serge and crepe de chine would have been priced at $40 or more If made of the good fabrics for which she paid $18.39. Her evening dress, which was of taffeta and silver lace, cost only $21, although it was modeled after one seen In a store at a much higher price. This wardrobe, augmented by two made-ovdresses for which new materials had to be purchased, bringing the entire expenditure up to $108.34, Is not elaborate. It is sufficient for the particular needs of the wearer, who remarked In this connection that because of having a varieiy of clothes this year she had been able to attend many enjoyable social affairs which required more than business clothes. Without the aid of the dress form It is doubtful If any business girl In the time at her disposal could make so many garments. Elizabeth, at any rate, did not believe so; In addition to her other activities she made ten dress forms for other girls, holding meetings at which more than fifty altogether also learned how to make the forms and were enabled in turn to demonstrate this convenience to others.

I go with a girl. We have been friends for years. In the dance and other places we happen at times, to get in with some very popular girls. Then she thinks she is better than us, and slights us. Any other place she treats us all right Some of my friends she will not go with, because she thinks they are not good enough. Would you go with her or not? I remain, A QUESTIONER, Malad, Idaho. Your girl friend does not show much tact, to say the least If your friends are decent and respectable, they are good enough for any one to associate with. But you know we all have the right to choose our friends and it may not be altogether because she considers herself superior to your friends, but that she just does not care particularly for them and shows it in an untactful way. You must use your own judgment as to whether you should continue to go with her. Compare her with your other friends and sed if she is not a friend worth keeping, then try to convince her that your other friends are also worthy of better treatment from her. you to answer for me.
