Silk Hose and Modern Women
SILK HOSE AND $20.
Brooklyn: It remains for a Brooklyn store to inform us that silk hosiery may be included in the wardrobe of a girl making $20 a week. This with the explanation that but 22 percent of a girl’s salary is to be laid aside for wardrobe purchases. Twenty-two percent means $4.40. Fifty-two times $4.40 totalls $228.80. And the original statement includes a fur collar with the winter coat as well as silk hosiery. Waddaya mean, this day of miracles?

THE MODERN WOMEN.
New York City: The trouble with modern women of today is they have their own way too much. They need more adversity and to have some of the feminine conceit knocked out of them. Most women with a pretense of good looks imagine themselves little queens to be waited on and catered to by every one. And men, the big boobs, make fools of themselves by doing just that. The majority of the younger women of today are selfish, self-centered and egotistical. Few are interested in making men happy, interested only to the extent of what men can buy for them in the way of and easy life and amusements.
