SOCIETY AT BAZAARS|

Name be Fashion

urally conjure up pictures of fancy work

esque white-iced cake, Mrs. Thompson
onthe corner made a speciality Of
but buzaars have outgrown this honey
atmosphere and today have become ba-
zaars of fashion. No longer do you
attend to buy Christmas gifts and good
les, but more properly to learn what
to wear and when to wear it, or, per-
chance, to show your own new dress.
Fashion Fetes in the Name Of Charity
Newport is the setting for some of
these bazaars. Here on the spacious
lawns Of country homes, mannequins dis
play the very latest modes from Paris
vieing in smartness with the women who
come to see them. There are tableaux
and grand promenades and best of all
you can sip tea and view them with a
conscience free from guile, for your
entrance fee goes to sweet charity.

The American Flag.

A subscriber writes to know if an
American flag must be of a certain
size to be "official." He says some
body has told him that the size of the
flag has been fixed by statute, and that
unless it conforms to the statutes it is
not really an American flag.
Our correspondent has been misin-
formed to some extent. The size of the
flag has not been prescribed by law, but
its proportions have. That is probably
where the error was made.
According to the statute the length
of the flag must be one ana one.tenths
its height. In other words just little
less than twice as long as it is wide.
There must be thirteen horizontal
stripes, alternate red and white. The
blue field in which the stars are To-
Gated is called the union, and it must
be exactly seven stripes high, and it's
length seventy six one hundredths of
the height of the flag itself. The stars
are five pointed and one point must be
placed upward. When a new state is
admitted to the union, the star is added
to the flag upon July 4, following its
admission. The arrangement of the
stars in the blue union is a matter of
executive order, and has varied with
each states admission, to conform to
the total number of stars up to that
time. At this time they are in rows
of equal iumber.-Daily Critic.

robe. The accessories were as startling
as they were smart. One of the girls
carried a parasol with swan s head
handle on the top, while what naturally
would be the handle tapered off into
the cap of the walking stick. Though
a bit top heavy, the effect when opened
was attractive.
Enter the Frock with Floating Panels
Styles were not confined alone to the
mannequins. Society took keen inter
est in the cause and there were many
notables present. 1t seemed as if every
one had put on their best bib and tucker
for the occasion. One woman who is
summering in Maine came down to be
present at the fete. Her gown was one
of the new combinations Of blue serge
and Scotch plaid taffeta. When she
stood still the skirt appeared to be Of
the serge, but when she moved it broke
up into floating panels displaying me-
dunn width underskirt Of the plaid.
This matched shoulder and sleeve sec
ton, while the serge was used in bib
effect on the waist and for the deep
cuffs.
Silks and Serges the Fabrics of Fall
Many similar effects were to be seen.
Serge seems to be. even more popular
than in past seasons. This is, no doubt
due to the fact that it is so hard for
the French mills to weave their novel
ties. However, the serges are smart and
the women seemed content to use these

grain after the reapers Under the
Law 1t was part of Gods provision
for the poor that no one should reap
the corners of his field, but should
leave those for the poor. Naomi coun-
seled Ruth to CLEAN in the fields of
wealthy relative, named Boaz.
The wealthy Boaz took note of the
modest young woman who daily CLEAN
cd in his fields and subsequently he
learned that she was relative by mar
rage. He pursued the course of the
Jewish Law, and Ruth became his
wife. Obed was their son, and Jesse
his son, and David was the youngest
of Jesse's sons. Thus Ruth the Gen
tile became identified with the royal
family as an ancestor, and thus with
King David's greatest Son and Lord
Jesus.

9 MCCALL

The latter part of last week the ba-
zaar Of the season was held at the home
of one of the leaders of the Newport
set. In artistic tableaux, backed by Gre
clan summer houses, all the summer
modes were reviewed and predictions
made for the coming season.
Striped Fable a Favored Fabric
Every dress showed at least two ma
terials; heavy faille silk was favored
fabric. One tall blonde mannequin wore
a dress Of striped satin and grosgain
silk which was particularly new and
attractive. Its very simplicity battles
description its charm being in the clever
use of the stripes. The skirt had
pleated lower section, killed one might
say, for it was straight and laid in deep
folds from the hip to the bottom. This
was cut with the stripes crosswise, while
the yoke, waist, and cuffs had the stripe
straight up and down. There was a
sheer vest and Quaker collar of crisp
white Swiss, and sleeves of black
GeOrgette crepe, making a striking con-
trast with the cuffs of the silk.
Skirts Short and Shorter Still
There seemed to be no limit to the
shortness of the skirt. The costume
just mentioned was worn with white
kid shoes and the skirt was so short
that at least an inch Of the stocking
showed between the top of the shoe and
the bottom of the skirt. Indeed, many
of the mannequins Looked like school
girls, but shoes are fancy and skirts are
obviously short to show them. Women
want their moneys worth. As I
watched the manneeuins, I could not
help thinking of the little boy who went
without his coat in December to show
his new suspenders.
Braid introduced as Hat Trimming
There were many new things intro.
dueed. Perhaps the most interesting no.
ton was Hercules braid as hat trim
ming. There, is no question of its pop
ularity as dress trimming. but for hats
the idea was certainly unique. 1t was
used in three flat bands on the velvet
brim of a sailor, while the crown was
white satin trimmed with beads. This
was sent by i New York medist.

WIFE OF LATE CHURCH
PRESIDENT Is DEAD

Mrs. Eliza Burgess Young, widow
of President Brigham Young Of the
Mormon church, died yesterday at the
home Of her son, Alfales Young, 81 p
street, of general debility. She was 81
years Of ago. eU3l
Mrs. Young was born at Stockport,
Lancashire, England, December 8, 1927,
the daughter of James and Betty Bur-
CESS. Her parents were among the first
persons to join the church in England,
and she came with them to the United
States in 1910. The family sailed from
England on the ship Chaos, arriving
in New Orleans in January Of that year.
There the family remained for several
months, afterward moving to Nauvoo,
Ill.
Her parents died at Nauvoo. Mrs.
Young remained at Nauvoo until the
first party of pioneers left for the west.
She remained for time at Winter
Quarters and then continued west, ar
irving in Salt Lake, September 20, 1S48.
Here she lived until 1869, when she re-
moved to Provo, where she lived until
after the death of President Young. She
returned to Salt Lake in 1873.
Surviving Mrs. Young is one son, AL
fales Young, telegraph editor on the
Deseret News; four grandsons and one
great-granddaught With the death
Of Mrs. Young the estate Of President
Young is closed. Under the terms of
his will she was to receive an annuity
during her lifetime in addition to the
property bequeathed her. The Brigham
Young Trust company, organized to
take over the property of the estate,
carried out these provisions until it
was absorbed by the Clayton Investment
company eight years ago. Since that
time the Clayton Investment company
has carried out the provisions Of the
will.
Private funeral services will be held
at the Young residence Monday after
noon at 4:30 o'clock. Only members Of
the Young family are invited to at
tend. Interment will be in City GENE
lterv.

left their home, crossed Jordan into
the land of Moab, and dwelt there for
ten years. There the two boys mar
red and died, leaving widows; and
Elimelech died. Evidently the leaving
of the Land of Promise, the Land Of
the Covenant, to live amongst a people
who were idolaters and not in cove
nant relationship with God, had not
resulted greatly to the benefit Of the
family; for when Naomi concluded to
return to her native land, she had
practically nothing.
1t is never good policy to sacrifice re-
ligious interests for temporal interests.
1t will not do to say that perhaps they
moved to Moab to do little mission
airy work; for Gods Covenant was
merely with Israel, and the others
were aliens, like oil other Gentiles.
Nor would it have been proper for
them to attempt to convert the Mo-
abites; for God had called merely the
Israelites, as we read.-Amos 80.
1t was unwise to take two boys into
heather land. where they were likely
to be contaminated; instead, every rea-
sonable influence should have been
thrown about them to preserve their
loyalty to Jehovah. Doubtless Naomi
realized all this, as indicated by her
words, ut grieveth me much for your
sakes that the hand Of the Lord Ia

that the Divine hand was really in her
favor, and that 1t. had proper influ-
ence upon her and brought her back
to the Land Of Promise.

Russian Boots Again in Evidence
Several of the women were booted
according to the Russian fashion. The
woman who wore the floating panel
dress described above, had the long
boots in black patent leather. They
were made the same as riding boots,
wide enough at the ankle for the foot
to slip through. There were other Rus

tan; one of the mannequins wore a pair
of white kid boots trimmed with black
patent leather.
