DRESS DIDN'T LOOK RIGHT

prise When One Reads Just Why
It Didn't


This tale is told by . certain Chi.
.cago woman who is, perhaps, enough
Of a genius in the musical worth to
be forgiven great indifference to
style in dress. Recently she was asked
20 appear on the program at very
select musicale. So she had . new
frock made for the occasion.
A friend of hers 1--WE may call her
Mrs. John Smith) was unable to attend
because one of the children was Ill.
and Mr.. Smith went alone. On his re.
turn his wife was eager to hear every
detail. He declared the evening was
great success. Then, hesitatingly.
he added:
But your friends dress didn't look
right, somehow. I couldn't tell what
was the matter. It just looked all
wrong"
Next day Mrs. Smith FASTENED to
telephone her friend, congratulatias
her on her success of the previous
evening and expressing q wish to SEE
her beautiful new gown.
I'm wearing it again this afternoon
90 I'll just come past your house To-
you to see it."
ooh, if you only will"

that she had worn 1t wrong side be

to make a front fastening because he1
husband objected to hooking her up
and she had assumed that her instruc

remarkable declarations made to the
house of commons yesterday by Ar

disposition to desert Germany, her
lot would be made very easy by the
entente.
Whether Austria will take advan-
tage of the suggestion made no Of

to hazard a guess. At present Aus

hunger is pressing heavily on the
population of Hungary and that @
