THE PSYCHOLOGY OF DRESS.
A. JUDGE'S PERPLEXITIES.
Mr. Justice McCarlie, cannot find an explanation of what causes a change in fashion. This is the more remarkable, says a bone paper, because he is not one of the jadges who insist upon maintaining & supernatural innocence. It was got in Sir Henry McCarlie's Court that the Bar recently was appalled by the inquiry, "What is a pub La bis Court or out of it, Mr. Justin McCardie's judicial eye "notices a great deal of change in ladies fashions," and he does not mind Buying this he finds the variations quite striking, and, to him, "the material seems to be peculiar, too." He was told in evidence that "the im mediate postwar colours "were green, yellow, and red, all in one piece, which certainly seems to justify the use of the adjective peculiar." But what nobody would tell him was why the fashions change, why green, yellow, and red in one piece are the at this moment ardently sought, at bext and none low na do them reverence. His Lordship anked an expert in the box, who pusillanimously plea ded, "I may be an expert, but I am not an expert in the Scklences of Women," This satifeminist diversion did not satisfy Bir Henry McCardio, who promptly gave, the authority of a judicial obiter dictum to the statement that fashions do not depend on woman. Neither with woman nor with the public, be declares, does a change originate. The little learen which leaves the whole lump must be found in the "big designers,” ho are all men.“ But still, his lordship's judicial instinct satisfied. He does not feel that be has got to the root of the matter. These men, the big designer, the leaders of fa shion, ho argues, "create the ideas and submit them to the women and the public for their acceptance, or otherwise." A change of taste determines "whether or not the thing becomes adopted." But what determines the change of taste? That, alas! the judge found is one of the questions which nobody can answer, and in the bitterness of his soul he cried out that he' had never met a psychologist in the dress. trade. He protested that there ought to be psychologists. They would aav8 115 a great deal of "this appalling loss" which We The changes of fashion inflict.

set "no limitations to the powers of paychology. The disciples of Fread, we, do not doubt, may be able to unravel the complex which has produced our present figures, and the repressed impulses they will bring to light will be as horrid us any in their catalogue. The disciples of Coue will surely profound a cure by which auto- suggestion will convince every woman that' the old is new and the dowdy chic. But till their labours are completed, we offer to Mr. Justice McCardie's 'consideration the saggestion that the effective cause of changes of fashion is hope," that hope which springs eternal, which continually promises to our erring nature that some day, some- hor, in some guias, we shall look attractive, or at least' interesting.
THE WHITE LADY.
TRADITION AND FACT.
How Lon! (then Sir Douglas) Baig kept in touch with German military move ments during the war has been divulged by the records of heroism and adventure of an organisation officially described as the Allied Observation Corps," that which had found for itself the more picturesque title of the White Lady of the Hobenzollerns."
ו!
It is a tradition in Germany that when disaster is impending on the House of Hohenzollern a mysterious, tall, slender woman clad in snowwhite, walks along the purapet of the old Hohenzollern castle i their ancestral Brandenburg.
Early in 1916 a small but devoted body. of men at Liege got into touch with the British War Office, and it was decided that they should become a military corps of observers attached to the British Secret Service
The history of of this corps, with its casualties 40 members were shot, by the Germans as spies, and more than 100, in- eluding women and children, served terms of imprisonment in common gaols--has not yet been told.
FRONTIER DATA.
The organisation, which sprung up at Liege spread month by month to every village and town in a strategic position Information behind the German lines. regarding the arrival of German troops with the numbers of their regiments in their rest billets was handed to runners, many of whom were former smugglers, who made their way across the frontier to Holland and thence to British secret agents.
The most difficult and important task of the corps was the watching of German troop trains. Typical of how this was done is the story of 22-years-old girl named Julie Bourgeois, of Luxemburg, who with her 17 years-old brother, was sent to the import ant junction of Capellen, in Luxemburg, in November, 1917, and worked thore till NEWS February 1918, when both were relieved by

They obtained rooms over a cafe facing the station, and there for four months, day and night, they kept watch on the train movements Julie usually took the service from midday to midnight, and her brother from midnight to midday. They made their daily records on á slate so ha to be able to efface them in a moment in case of alarm. At the end of every 24 hours the brother used to copy them out and then to walk 8 miles to a place where he handed them to agents for retransmission.
When they were withdrawn from a service which became too dangerous, as they had been marked down by German apies, Julie and her brother were broken down in health. The lad died within a fow months; Julio, when the war ended," be-,
