INFLUENCES NOW
GUIDING STYLES

- p ~ g
There seems today to DE two distinc.
tie influences taken into considerat-
ION by fashion designers; one, the
retrospective styles, and the other,
einbodying the new ideas of the new
schools and arts, as the cubist and fut.
su:ist. AT first these new ideas were
taken as something of q joke, or at the
hest as a curiosity, but they. have for.
geo ahead and reached a place of sec.
uTity in popular favor which makes,
them a factor to be dealt with. ...-
Another style influence is the .daia-
tiness and womanliness Of cur grand

floIneeS do not boast of the yclumin.

characterized their dress, but the fioun,

ing an unusual vogue. and the fulness
about the waist and hips promises to
be popular for some time. There is a
tendency towards discarding the bag

became favored through the influence
OF the Balkan war. and, after so long q
vogue of these styles women were in q
mood to accept the long, close gowns
OF rich Yelyets, slightly draped. which

ART OF LETTER
WRITING NOT
LOST

Did you ever think of the joy that a
little postage stamp is the means OF

be sent in letter is, to people in some
circumstances, far more acceptable
than a costly gift would be, and the
expected letter which does not arrive
Il often missed to such an extent that
nothing can replace 1t.
Letter writing is an art; some one
has said, "a lost art, but we all know
many letter writer's whose happy
thoughts conveyed to us through the
written word are like siimpses of sun

know that it is an art that Is far from
