The high waistline and the normal
one has taken the place Of the moyen
age line in many of the models. al
though the long line is often expressed
in the girlde which comes down over
the hips.
The short round and pointed basques
are combined with fluffy. frilled skirts.
In my illustration is shown dress
made Of striped taffeta. The short
waist is round, with slight point di-
rectly in the front. The square COllot
neck is a very much more becoming
line at the neck than the straight Dutch
or round neck The full skirt is espec-
tally attractive and "summery with
ruffles, which dip in the front and back,
and are about knee length at the sides.
Parsian sketches show a strong
tendency toward straight girdles, which
are worn at the normal waistline. These
are more becoming to the waist that is
"nipped" in a trifle -han the one which
is straight up and down..
The dainty muslin frocks, which are
already being made for summer have
three inch belts Of black velvet ribbon.
Lace and taffeta are combined a
great deal for afternoon frOcks. One
charming dress Of taffeta is four yards
wide at the hem. The waist is tight, and
from the waistline begins a band of the
same color, which winds in spiral effect
around the hips and downtown to
the hem, getting wider at each turn.
The suits being strictly tailored in
their style require suitable materials.

HOME To IOWA MAN
MISSOURI VALLEY RESIDENT HAS
SISTER IN TERRIBLE PLIGHT
IN AUSTRIA.

Missouri Valley, March 20.--Reports
of the horrors of the European war are
being brought to this country every
day, but seldom are they brought
home in personal way However,
NJ. Fanger received postal card from
his sister which brings the war to him
very forcibly. This sister lived near
Lemberg, Galicia, when war was de-
clared and that very day her husband
was taken away to serve in the army.
She had ten small children, the oldest
being girl about II years, and with
her children she started for Vienna
with the rest of the populace. Every
where they went they found people
headed the same way and before they
had gone far they found the roads con-
gested with people trying to get away
from the unseen danger. When the
poor woman had time to stop she found
her oldest daughter missing, having
gotten separated from her in the
crowds, and to this day she does not
know what became of her.
She writes she and her children are
sleeping on the dirt floor of barn
and that they are hungry most of the
time. She lived about nine miles from
Mr.. rangers mother and sisters, but
says she has no idea what became OF
them.

IT was her very interest in him that
kept Gloria away from Randall when
she would often have strolled about
seeking information from him about
flowers or chatting on general sub

at her own silly reasons for not wish,

Gloria was SO indignant that she

troubles to Martha. Had she waited
until Freddy reached the tent she
would have seen the delighted meet

heard the laughter that followed. She
did, however. hear the returning foot

formal manner DN ner DrOlner, she
