This is advice compiled' from the opinions of seven outstanding fash- ion authorities. This is advice worth taking 'ser- iously too — partieularly the part ablaut suitability to your way of life. A wardrobe compoeled eat 'ey of bustle dressers would be as un- aatisltesitory for a business woman as one including only simple wool shiritwalslters would be for a wom- an whose life is a round of parties.

FOR NECESSARY TfHNGS Prime Minister Chamberlain told the Empire the other dap that folk would be required to adjust their budgets to the scale of necessary thig if the war is .to be won by the Allies, We are quite sure that his warning will not be !heeded, Early in the century men of the calibre of Jas. 3, Hill 4oid the people of this continent that the time had come fon them to eliminate all unneces- sary expendd'ture. His serious words were ;as little regarded as the caw- ing of the first crony in March. Since the timely Warning of this great financier things financially have grown steadily worse with this whole continent — yes, and with the world. We hare been buying stuff that is not necest5ary and we must pay the piper. An unreasoned op- timism has lured us into business folly, Even war bas not, and will n8t, cure us. of our 'stupidity. In- deed, ndeed, that most deceptive ot; all financial mirages, war prosperity, has caused a great many to lose their heads. Vire seem determined to have luxuries, Once in a while we tighten tup at the spigot only to open at the bung. Prime Minister Chamberlain has spoken. It we con- tinue our folly the blame is alto- gether our own. A GRIM HINT Me average •Csnacti•an. does not realize that Canada is at war,. He believes in an easy way that Britain is at war, but as for Canada's parti- cipation therein, that is a horse of another color. The United States business men do not take our con- dition in, any such easy way. We snap our fingers and say there is no doubt about the islwue of the war. The United stalest busdnebs men do not so look upon the issue. They say' "Canadians are at war and, we do not know what will become of them." For that reason the Can- adian dollar dropped to eighty-nine cents. Indeed, a great ,man? American businees men do not want Canediam money at all. All of which is a broad hint dor Canadians to wake up and to get this war mess through with as quickly as. polssible. There shill are a few Canadians who look across their noes at the mea who enlist, 'They still talk lightly of the necessity of putting their basks into wha tis nothing short of a ,terrible, a desperate struggle. Bat all such easy going folk had better rub their eyes and roll up their sleeves 1n• a fight that involves everything worth living. The state of the Canadian dollar tells its own story. 1 WALKER'S FUNERAL HOME William street, Brussels, OntaHe PERSONAL ATTEND#NCE Phone N Day or Night Calle P G.
