of the finest grand opera and concert
singers she has ever heard. MISS
Bldeau is graduate of art schools OF
Baker University and the University
4 of Kansas.
! News of the present fashion exhibit
in Chicago says that the styles in
women's gowns for the coming au-
tumn instead of being modified as the
; many verbal and printed protests re-
Gently have led one to expect, are to
be more eXtrayagant than ever.
That was abundantly demonstrated
at the style show of the Chicago Car
ment Makers Association which was
formerly opened at Orchestra hall.
Seventy-one living models displayed
the gowns designed in Chicago.
The slit gown is not only to survive
but the slit is to be even more pro-
nounced than ever. In some costumes
the slit extends to the knee and in a
few ball room costumes the design eX-
tends the slit even above the knee.
The flesh colered chameuse petisk1rt,
, scant of breadth enough to hobble
the wearer and barren of decoration
is to be worn.
Wonderfully we'll done and cleverly
creditable as the exhibit is still the
hall marks of French influence are
evident in these made-in-America for
the figures of grown-in-America wom-
Ell.
Bulletins went out from headquar-
tiers that the association had put the
ban on ali open skirts-that the slit
was doomed. This proved untrue
Ninety per cent OF the skirts were
decidedly slit, one black velvet evening
gown was slashed almost knee high.
Another model gown revealed slit
which ran from the hem of the center
side seam and extended to within
seven inches of the waist line.
Summarized, the modes pageanted
displayed the same slouching drapcd
figure, topped off by highly or weird!y
aigretted hats with which the eye has
become familiarized within the past
IL months.
The draped back coat, draped coat,
slit skirt, kimona sleeve, high colors
and flowing lines are with us yet. Peg
top skirts continue but with ruft1es.

The washington Times thinks it has
discovered why women of 25 some
times dye or bleach their hair. The
cause is found in remarks to be like
these:
L suppose most of your friends are
married now
Il remember when you made your
debut
do you recall Mary Anderson, OK
was that before your time?"
Both your parents are living, though,
aren't they?"
AT that. you're very little stouter
than You used to be"
The Day Nursery club will postpone
its regular meeting until the first week
in September.
