FROM WOMAN S
POINT OF VIEW

\ man Of taste and excellent memory
wonders why the fashion of broad Cir
dies does not suggest 10 some bright
woman the revival Of a becoming old
style, the Swiss waist As l understand
it this consists Of loose white bodice
like our lingerie waists. with a colored
skirt and a tight fitting girdle coming
well up 10 the bust. ending at the hips
and laced together in front with a cord
and tassels.
The man remembered the fashion as
one to admire for its beauty and general
becomiHgness. and as the girdle is an
important feature Of up-to-date dressing,
it is rather remarkable that the Swiss
waist has escaped sharp eyes. Fashion
is kind TO US this year, since she permits
Us 10 wear about what we please. and
change our old clothes into apparently
new ones by little touches which are not
novel and so are always in danger Of
being swept away.
Possibly we are getting bold enough to
refuse to be led in paths that drain our
purses. At all events we simply cannot
get out Of fashion this year. and the only
demand made OF US is that OF freshness
in appearance. Shabbiness is unpopular.
as 1t deserves to be. since only a small
amount Of care is necessary to keep a
woman in a presentable condition.
When is a woman supposed to aban-
don her summer hats?" asked a young
wife of the husband who faced her across
the table. "On September IS" he an
swered,, when men are officially notified
that fall has arrived and straw hats are
no longer permissible in good society"
How about winter hats?" she persisted.
When are they called in?" THAT IS a
matter of individual taste" he said.
Weather sometimes takes a hand in
forcing felt hats into retirement" He
has the right Of it. BY September sum
mer hats are too shabby 10 be tolerated.
They spoil the effect Of the prettiest
gown ever built There should never be
q shabby season because a very little
furnishing will give a woman one pre-
sentable costume which viii tide her
ever to the next season.
Very few women realize the value of
a reliable dyeing house where shabby
black fabrics can be dipped and restored
to their original beauty and faded fab
ries turned into richly colored cloths thar
defy detection. Well made garments of
good material are worth transforming
yet most women either wear them after
they begin to show age or discard them
before they have done full service. The
services OF a tailor are as necessary 10
the smart woman as TO the weII-dressed
man, but women are hard to convince
They are used to dressmakers who lack
the strength and skill of men In cleans

New Veil Bows.

In some of the shops a new wrinkle is
notable. namely. the tying Of chiffon and
even lace wells into huge bows for the
sole adornment of bewitching hats. These
veil bows are tied while you wait, and
so thoroughly wired and twisted that
they keep their shape under all provo
cations Of dampness and knocks. They
are decidedly new and fetching

The first claims against the government
were for services in the war Of the Revo-
luton. Congress early turned over to the
States the selection Of pensioners and
the statement of the amounts to which
they were entitled, under a Federal law
providing for their payment. Among the
earliest Indian depreciation claims was
one for the value Of twenty-three negro
slaves. Cherokee Indians on the Ten
nessee River in 1924 killed three white
men-William Scott and John and James
Pettigrew, Of South Carolina-and car
ried of their slaves Heirs asked pay
ment for these from the government.
