MUST HAVE CONTRAST
FASHIONS EpIcTs OF A COUPLE
OF YEARS AGO REVERSED.
At That Time, to "5reak the Lines OF
the Figure" Was Forbidden, Now
Il 10 Decidedly the Most
Correct Thing.

How long It seems-and yet 1t Is
only q year or two-since we avoided
contrasting belts and girdles as we
would the plague. Breaking the lines
Of the figure" we called 1t, and 1t
ranked among the seven deadly sins
In the category of clothes ethics.
But II there ever was a movable
quantity II is these sartorial sins.
What is one seasons crime is just as
likely as not to be the next seasons
supreme duty. And the most con-
spicuous case in point just now is this
very matter of the lnsistent waist line.
Not that 1t must be defined by the
shape of the figure. The tendency has
been away from the hourglass and
toward the barrel. But 1t has become
absolutely imperative to break the
lines" with n belt, girdle. or sash In
color. These breaks rank from the
leather band, not more than an inch
in width, to swathing draperies which
are SO wide that they suggest the
apron overskirts OF other days.
This season has witnessed a remark
able revival OF interest in the leather
belt, which had decidedly languished
for several years. White embroidered
linen belts have practically disap-
peared, for the reason that they fail
precisely in the one requisite Of con-
trasting color.
In their place we now have the
white leather belt, with colored leath-
er either applied or inset in long geo.
metrical designs; or else we have COL
ored leather belts from one to six
inches in width. A six-inch suede belt
in callot blue, old pink, emerald green,
or black is worn with simple one-piece
white frocks or with the lingerie
blouse and the separate white or
cream-colored skirt.
While these wide belts will newt
ably crush to certain extent, they
must not be pulled in tight. Let them
come down below the real waist line
and allow the corsage to blouse over
them all around. In this way the
effect Of suppleness. which should
characterize the figure. will be OBJ
tanned.
The buckles, which are oblong ones
four or FIVE inches In height, are either
covered with the leather itself or are
made OF enamel to match. But a
buckle with the lovely jeweled effects,
which are so stunning this year, is bet
ter still-if one can AFFORD 1t. AS they
cost anywhere from S. to $25, how
ever, they are not for women Of slim
purses.

DRESS FABRICS OF THE HOUR
One Particularly Good Point Of the
Seasons Styles 10 the Wide
Choice Allowed.

For dressy wear there seems to be q
great tendency to use pile fabrics Of
very light weight.
Small checks, stripes and jacquard
effects in velvets are also being taken,
for entire suits, for parts Of suits or
for trimming purposes. A few imita'
ton fur fabrics are also employed, par
ticularly broadtail. which makes very
handsome suits.
In the woolens, the materials that
have q velvet.like finish, on the order
OF duvetine, for example, are meeting
with great success. Diagonals and cut
velours are also being ordered In fair
sized quantities.
Some checks have been ordered,
principally, however. for skirts that
are to be combined with plain colored
coats. Plaids are also being ordered
for the same purpose-mostly In the
dark, unobstrusive shades.

Robe Slips.

Entire slips OF transparent mate
rails to wear under filmy frocks have
naturally followed the ribbon and silk
lacey underwaists whose vogue was 80
extensive a few months ago. The
gauze slip is made of white China
silk Of the thinnest quality and con.
sists of scanty skirt, just escaping
the floor, and a cut-in-one waist ex-
tending to beneath the arms, but
built up with a wide frill-edged pulling
Of net yelling, chiffon or lace. There
are no shoulder straps, as the corsage
is supposed to fit so closely above tina
bust that 1t cannot slip down.

Kersten and Hoyne of late Tuesday.

Of the happenings last Tuesday when
Attorney Frank D. Ayers appeared
before him and moved FOR the ap-
pointment of the special prosecutor
and special grand jury.
That a technical error might be
corrected in the Ayers petition Judge
Cooper continued the hearing.
Before he could resume it Tues
day, States Attorney Hoyne had
slipped one over by having Judge
Kersten appoint the man asked by
Hoyne, Attorney Clyde L. Day, as
special prosecutor.
When Judge Cooper threatened to
hale Hoyne before him for contempt
of court, Hoyne replied he could not
be in contempt since, because no
formal record Of the Ayers petition
had been filed in Judge Cooper's
court, the case never had been with
in the jurisdiction of Cooper.
That Cooper differs from Hoyne
on this point became evident today
when he had sworn testimony intro
duced, reading the Ayres petition into
the court record, as of Monday.
After witnesses had been heard,
Judge Cooper continued the, Ayers
