eance last week Miss Nancy Cunard
and Iris Tree proved ardent ad-
vocates of the abbreviated skirt. Be
ing a true descendant of the Cunard
line, it seems quite apropos that Miss
Nancy should flaunt high water
frock and it was most appropriately
composed of frothy white bodice of
tullc with cunning little white cap
sleeves. The skirt was 2 foaming
white billows of tulle girdled with a
sash of seagreen ribbon.
Miss Tree, with her blonde hair in
a bang, was most fetching in black
velvet bodice, sleeveless save for shoul-
der straps of the black. 1t was cut
out with rather a square Dutch eff
feet in front and back and a single
half-blown rose of pink broke the
black sombrcness near the left shoul-
der. The bodice ended abruptly at a
round rather short waist line and the
skirt composed Of 3 full flounces
of tullc, one pale blue, one pale pink
ard one yellow burst butterfly-lik

from its black velvet chrysalis. The
Tree limbs were incased in pale blue
stockings and black velvet slippers.
There is quite penchant for the
velvet bodice in evening frocks and
not only are the contrasting black vel
vet bodice and net skirts much worn,
but charming pastel blue taffeta
with a velvet bodice of the same shade
was the sartorial hit at the Savoy the
ether night. The skirt was caught up
on the left side in kirtle effect with a
garland of pink roses revealing a
petticoat of white chiffon and lace.
A garland of roses also served in lieu
of the left shoulder strap.

SHORT SKIRTS RAGE
IN LONDON TOWN
By Margaret Mason)


written for the United Press)
/ Her Grace is of the ballet not
At all. It's simply bally rot.
Though true it is she wears much
shorter
Her skirts than she had really orter.
, London, April 22 (By mail to New
York)-It's amazing the way titled
skirts are creeping up artisocratic
shins. Talk about your belted earl.
You really can't say much more about
his Lady Countess wife these days, or
rather nights, for her skirts are cut
so high and her waists are cut so low
there isn't much more than a girdle
for an embarrassed eye to cling to-
! For daytime frocks and costumes as
we'll, Her Grace, My Lady and the
lion. Molly are showing an expanse
of ankle that generously goes the
elght-inch mandate at least 2 inches
better, or perhaps we should say
worse. Skirting rather tender sub
ject, there seems to be abundant evi-
dence these days that you can go fur
ther and fare worse when II comes
to question of British skirts. The
pretty English dairymaid who voiced
the historic answer that "My face is
my fortune" could never have gotten
by with a like statement anent her
feet. But, be that as it may, feet
and even much feet, seem to demand
even more inches when you start to
hem about them.
A cunning little dreadnaught grey
costume of faille shows the short skirt
tendency and other things besides.
Of course the skirt is circular: they
are always that or pleated these times
and is finished around its voluminous
rppled hem with deep band of eight
inch black silk braid The blouse worn
with 1T Is of the same color chiffon
with bell-shaped sleeves and a high
military collar. 1t is buttoned straiphr
up the front, as is the skirt from hem
to belt, with bullet buttons of black
onyx. The little short box co9tee come,
just to the waist line and has the
regulation military braiding across the
front carried out with a narrower
width of the black silk skirt braid and
the bullet buttons. High black patent
kid shoes with gray leather uppers
laced on the sides are worn with this
striking outfit, A chic little blac;,
satin brimless hat fits tight and snup
to the top of the head as if it were
moulded to it and flaunts 2 lunches of
black aigrettes bert like Mercury
wings, one jutting from the left rear
and the other from the right front.
incidentally the smart American wom-
an who wore it has been in England
for 2 years. She admits tearfully that
she is dying 10 90 home, but simply
cant this season, as she has lust laid
IN a supply of spring and summer
hats, and every one of which boasts
as its only trimming huge and lavish
lunches of aigrettes.
They occasionally do trim hats in
something besides aigrettes over here,
however for ] glimpsed tiny blue
turban on Bond street the other dav
that was Enthusiastically adorned with 3
lemons. This ought to prove help
ful hint to the homes1ck American.
BY having her wonderful feathers re
placed with citrus fruit she would only
he realistically Haunting her private
opinion as to the true status of any
possible substitute trimming.

.TON-PARTISAN TICKETS.

~ The elimination of partisan candidates from state
elections is the law in California barring only the
possibility of its defeat by referendum election.
The Press has not been able to satisfy itself that this
revolutionary project of Governor Johnson is for the best
interest of the state and nation.
1t is revolutionary for the theory Of republican gov
ernment has heretofore been to maintain responsible par
ties, and most ballots in state and national elections have
been based party aliaon rather than knowledge
of the fitness of individual candidates.
In local affairs it is possible for the voter to form an
individual opinion of the character of the candidates. In
state affairs that cannot be done except in the
of candidates of strong personality and great fame
those who constitute the present power in Sacramento
Parties have at times failed woefully in their obliga
ton to maintain decent status in their organizations
but it is probematical whether the nonpartisan plan will
produce better results.
If other states should also adopt this plan, there
would be tendency to dsinegrate national parties for
it doubtful if there great enough interest in national
problems to maintain party organization.
California is the first state to adopt the nonpartisar
idea in state elections, and the results will at least be
watched with great interest by students of politics and
government in every state.
