AMES PLEADS FOR
Y. M. C. A. AT GOSHEN
Local Secretary Makes Address at
Business Mems Banquet, Point
ing Needs OF Association.

mo city can get along without Y.
NJ c. A"
This was the statement OF ]. @.
Ames. general secretary of the South
Bend Y. NJ. G. A. in an address at a
banquet at Goshen last night, when
nearly 100 men assembled TO consider
a proposition to erect an association
building there.
Secretary Ames was the principal
speaker of the evening and pointed
out the need of a Y. NJ. G. A. at Co
shen. He urged that the business men
plan 10 erect a building of their own,
asserting that rented structures have
been proved failures. He declared
that il would not be a wise plan to re-
model an old building and urged that
an entire new one be constructed.
1T will be impossible to erect a Y.
NJ. G. A. that will be self maintaining, "
he said. Every we'll managed associ-
alton plans on running a slight deficit
every year, which should be paid by
popular subscription" He said that
popular subscriptions compelled peo-
pie TO be interested in the association
work and that through this means
largely increased.
THE Y. NJ. G. A. should be a leader
in the social affairs of the community
! and IL should be a clearing house and
information bureau for all clean city
affairs. 1t should promote religious
movements and lead in training men
and boys in Bible study. evangelistiC
meetings and similar enterprises.

to sew it to the dress. The sleeves were
set into a small armhoe and were long
and close fitting. the same kind of but

sleeves from elbow to wrist. The skirt
was close fitting at the hips and farng
at the lower edge and buttoned straight

waist was worn a sash of the same col
Ored satin, which wound around the
waist once and tied loosely directly in
the front.
In the selection of suit the woman
who will wear it, alone should be the
judge of the style, but she should be-
ware of the over-long or over-short
coat and skirt, for extremes in fashion
are never in good taste. The styles are
new and smart-if the skirts were mar

the silhouette would be exactly as it has
been for months and months, but the
arbitcrs of fashion have widened, the
hens, taken width from the hips, elm
mated drapery and given us straight
lines from the nape of the neck to the
turn of our heel, broken only by fuIness
below the knee. The very short walk
ing skirt promises to be good; it is de-
h2htfuly convenient and comfortable
fashion, but it can ne over-done in a
most conspicuous way. A woman with
large hips or mature figure will not
look well in the style, and the thin,
angular woman will do well to carefully
watch every eighth of an inch that is
taken off or put on the hem of her dress
The newest styles shown for the suit
are the full skirts, with the short
jackets One suit which ] have used as
an illustration is made of dark brown
broadcloth. The jacket is short and
made with wide belt, which helps to
give it the fashionable boxed appear
ance. Except for the buttons the en-.
tire suit is made of the broadcloth alone
without ornamentation.
Another version of the short coat
and full skirt combined is shown in the
second illustration which is of blue
velour The short jacket has shaped
belt on the lower edge which comes to
a point on either hip. This is braided,
but the cuffs and revers and collar are
of the same material as the rest of the
suit. The skirt is circurar, plain-fi
around the waist and faring at the
bottom.
Blue serge and gabardine seem to be
the most popular choice of all fabrics.
and it is unquestioned that they are bv
far the most servieeabe of all materials.
In serge the fine small rib is first style.

1t is smartest for dressy costume be-
cause it is fine and smooth and will lend
itself readily to the more elaborate style
of suit. SeTges with heavier rib or II
wider vale are Sre suitable for the
palmer and more severe types. Gabar-
dine is very strong favoriGe also. and
is one of the smartest of materials. 1t
is more of novelty than plain serge
and promises to be tremendously popu-
lar for spring. Any style suit can be
made of it, for the character of the
material gives it Il great deal of style.
Then there is that which is known as
gabardine voile; finer weave of this
same material. for those who prefer a
lighter weight in cloth.
Fine Ottoman cords are quite smart

as ''poult de Sole; it is the same weave
as faille. but is crisp to the touch, like
taffeta silk. In diagonal weave these are
very smart when combined with satin.
Moire with 4 marking that is scarcely

Trimming for the suits will depend.
Of course, upon the individual who
wears it. There are fiat silk Hercules
