EDICTS OF FRENCH MODISTES
Likelihood Of a Return to the Small
Waist-The Latest Thing IL.
Dance Pettlccats.

The French designers say hips are
still fiat. and there is no sign of a
curve in them, but the normal waist
line may lead to the small waist, which
in turn. will call for rounding hips.
Designers show a desire to revert to
the Louis V fashion of the small elbow
sleeve, with its deep rufIle of lace.
Quite the latest thing in dance pet
ticoats are the loose-scalloped, or
petal-fOunced skirts, as they are
called. The petticoat IS of organdie
in sheath model to the knee. From
it depends flounce Of scallops or
petals six inches wide. gathered full
enough to hang close together, though
each scallop is trimmed all the wav
around the flounce by beading
through which the ribbon is run.
The flounces are of dotted Swiss
lace and insertion trimmed, of dainty
shadow embroidery. in dainty rufIled
net, and in lace medallions, with lace
insertion and edging. Two other new
petticoats worth mentioning are the
ones in pique and Saline. They have
darts enough to fit we'll without being
bulky. and are finished with six-inch
embroidered or tucked ruffles at the
bottom. Their special appeal is that
they are not transparent under thin
gowns.

WE'RE PERFECTLY WILLING TO
CREDIT MORNING PAPERS

CREDIT MORNING PAPERS
There are days when Trust Press
papers live close up to their brags of
worlds greatest" claims of "easy to
read and worth reading" and so on.
Today, for instance, the Tribune
gives over a half-column FRONT
PAGE to the 800 garment strikers
whose jury trials were set for today.
1t was live story and worth front
page. It would have been a cheap
and ordinary regular newspaper story
if it had been topped and interspersed
with conventional statements of po-
lice officials spilling stone age stuff
about violence" and "incendiary
speeches." There are certain me-
chanical shockers, verbal slapstick
stunts that belong only in the Hearst
papers.
In printing that story this morning
the Tribune helped raise the question
Why" in the minds of many peo-
pie. 1t was a logical follow on the
Tribune's recent crusade against
false arrests. Some day Chicago
newspaper is going to be wise and big
and persistent enough to hammer
away and stick on the job till the po-
lice department of this town is what
its officials proclaim it.
Instead of a uniformed slugger, a
coarse-mouthed agent of violence
the individual cop might become as
noted for service and decency as a
mail carrier or a fireman.
Street car and railroad conductors
have to handle a lot of crooks and
fools just as the city policemen do.
But the reputation of the city police |
for tact and courtesy is nix.
In the Herald today the Senator, |
whoever he is, has a hummer of a |
story about Sam Ettelson. For keen,
coloratura gossip on politics, the Sen |
ator in the Herald is a shining joy. |
