STARCH—INSIDE OR OUT?
■ 1 «» i Starch is scarce in the* German laundries, and they have to economise on that. Happy Germans. I take them to my bosom if they will only follow the fashion (which we are starting) of abolishing the starched collar, shirt front, cuffs (states a contributor to the London Chronicle). What do we want with starch for our 6hirts when rice is more necessary for the front 1 Do you know anything about starch except as a mysterious article of food, and something to clean your shirts with ? Starch is good enough as food, when carefully disguised. But I think the Germans gre wise in stopping the disguise in dresa. The starched shirt-front here and in Germany must go. I am sure that 3tarch has many missions, but one of them is certainly not tho design of making my dress habit a whited sepulcre, plastered with tho food that should feed better men.
