PARIS, July 27.-There is fancy

Yesterday I saw very good-looking
white satin gown that was made Tor
the races at Baden, which had these
scallops at the hem, divided by deep
slash up the middle of the back.
The material was white satin, which
women are quite fond Of in Paris. and
the lower skirt had It's hem scalloped

Scallops on Cloth Skirts.

There is a disposition on the part of
the dressmakers to finish the hens of
cloth skirts with shallow rounded
scallops, bound with black silk braid.
This is graceful ending to the short
garment. 1t takes away from 1t that
severe unfinished line that makes 1t
look like petticoat.
When there was no long tunic the
plain skirt with its simple hem was not
so conspicuous plain. but under the
floating tunic the contrast is too severe
to be always effective. The scallops
should not be pointed and deep; II so,
they show too much of the ankles and
give ragged effect to the hem. A
scallop five inches long and half an
inch deep is the best kind to choose.
The idea of putting scallops on the
end of tunics has quite gone out of
style. These garments, made in the
accepted way. are SO long and full that
1t is best to leave them to themselves
and not apply any ornamentation what
ever.
And scallops are not used on the end
of coats either. as was the fashion a
few months ago. SO the only place that
they can be used now is at the hem of
the skirt.

Given Chance by Tom

John "Porky' Flynn is one Of the
basketball finds of the present sea-

several junior combinations in this
vicinity but his work on the junior
combinations took the eye of Man
ager Tom Cavanaugh. of the Har-
rison Big Five, who decided to give
him a chance at senior basketball.
Flynn, in his first appearance as a
full-iledged big player" made good,
and in almost every game with the
Big Five he has been a conspicuous
court performer. Though he is only
a youngster, Flynn has already de-
veloped He is youth 5 feet
10 inches III height, and he tips the
beam close to the 1S0-pound mark.
He is unusually fast on the floor and
goal eager equal to that of any
player hereabouts. Flynn will play

the Troys tomorrow night.
