terms of black velvet, rhinestones and
trains. For a decade since it has been
the fashion to look young even though
one is sixty, thousands of women have
feared that Worth would disclose their
age by not uncovering their ankles and
shoulders: in other words, it was whis-
pered throughout the smart sets that
Worth made one look old. Such a ver-
dict IN era of passionate resentment
against age, tortureS in the way of eX-
ercises, crucial sacrifices in the way OF
dieting, literature dealing with emacia-
tion and not romance, books that ended
with the alluring sentence, And she
looked thin ever afterward," feminine
conversation that rarely reverted from
the one topic of retaining youth and
losing fesh-in such an era it was not
possible to regard with delight the
dressmaker who let one look old.
He Turns to Ruby Red.
But no longer do people talk abou,
Worth making one old. OF course, he
is not the dressmaker for the f1apper
nor does he cater to the women who
want a new frock, every day to create d
sensation, but he has turned his atten-
tion to dignified youth and allows age
to look as young as it can.
Ruby red is his new md favorite
color. He has produced sumptuous
evening frocks and wraps in it, but this
does not mean that he has left his old
favorite, black velvet.
The gown sketched today is one OF
Worth's new frocks, and 1t is his trib-
ute to the medieval influence. 1t is of
black velvet and has a draped skirt
which shows founce of black lace
There is slight fullness at the hips
which, coming below a straight, long
waisted bodice, shows that he again in

There is a necklace of these stones over

FASHIONS.

The little frock shown in the sketch
Is one of the tight-bodiced models so
thoroughly approved this season. As
the small sketch at the upper left in
dicates, direct relationship with cos
tunes of the renaissance period is
easily traceable. During this period
the steel corset was first introduced,
and the figures that had been up to
then allowed to develop along Venus
de Milo lines Were nipped in at the
waist and a brand-new silhouette in
troduced.
The frock shown in the sketch is
naturally very much modified or
denatured renaissance gown. The in
spiration. however, was undeniably
found in that period. Black velvet is
used for the bodice, cuffs and skirt

pale gray georgette or chiffon, and a

where Peter was peeping over the edge
Of the pit and winked. 1t was a very
solemn wink. Peter didn't know Just
what 1t meant. Old Mr.. Toad didn't
even smile. He just winked, and that
was all. Then gradually he backed so
far back In that little hole in which
he was sitting that Peter couldn't see
him at all. Peter waited and waited,

that little hole. But not a thing did

Result of longtime Loans.
The result of these longtime loans
will also be that more of the income
from the farm can be placed into equip
ment for the farm; equipment not only
to bring larger returns in dollars to
the farmer, but that will make the
family feel like they want to stay
there.

The Dignity Of Worth.

Worth was in the beginning and al
ways will be the dressmaker to royalty.
On this fact ie banked the fame OF the
house on the Rue de Ia Paix. Wher-
ever there is a dignifed woman with
fastidious taste and high social position
in the courts of Europe or in the best
social life of America, she likes to be
dressed by Worth.
The head of the house considers this
tribute the highest that can be paid
He cherishes it beyond all others, and
he has never found that 1t has kept the
money from pouring into his Golfers,
although it Is probable that he has not
accumulated the wealth of the three
Callot sisters. whose fantasies in dress
have filled the world with comment,
gossip and delight.
Paul Poiret also became a very rich
man through artistic eccentricities, and
the wealth of the house of Paquin is
well known; but the house of Worth
has a steady income and prestige, like
the Bank of England.
The elder Worth, the brother of the
present head. was the arbiter of fash
ion In the second empire, and he ex-
plotted his ideas through the Empress
Eugene, who, in turn, impressed them
on the civilized world. From that day
to this Worth has dressed the queens
of Europe, as well as lesser royalties.

HOW A RENTER
CAN ACQUIRE OWN LAND
Method Of P. w. Goebel of Kansas
City Finds Approval by Farm
Loan Board.

Now, can a farm renter who has
not saved 80 per cent of the purcha se
price of land make use of the federal
loan act to acquire land Of his own?
This is a question frequently put to
the federal farm loan board and others
interested in the operations of the farm
loan system. The board approves of
an explanation given by P. w. Goebel
of Kansas City. president Of the Ameri-
can Bankers Association.
The government must require abso-
lutely the same maximum requirements
from everybody that does business with
loan banks. explains President Goebel.
The local banker will take into con-
sideration the personal equation of a
man wanting to buy the land.
AS a banker, says Mr.. Goebel. he
would not hesitate to lend freely on
second mortgages. Not in commercial
bank, but in a trust company or in
vestment bank he would lend freely on
second mortgages SO long as he could
see that the interest and the amortized
payment on the first mortgage and the
interest on the second mortgage and
taxes and upkeep of the land would
still be less than the rental value of
the land.
