CITY'S GLORY LONG DEPARTED
Ruins Testify to Existence Of Once
Mighty Metropolis In Southeast

IN a far-off corner Of southeastern
Africa are hidden the ruins Of once
mighty city. called in present times
the Zimbabwe. or buildings Of stones.
The more fanciful of the scientists de-
clare that the time Of Moses may have
seen the building of these crumbling
walls, but the weight of evidence
seems to prove that the city is only
about ten centuries old. Whatever the
true dates of the city's history. certain

very old. very moss hung and very pic

ping away Of these relics of the past.

Of glory and prosperity was over some
centuries ago. and they rest dreamily

the walls as Of trying to hold the re-
naming stones together; and tall trees
spread their branches wide to temper

Hourly Changes
In Skirt Styles

New YOrk.-A woman should give
more than passing interest In the lines
of the spring skirt. II does not change
from day To day. but from morning TO

one can sum up the whole situation
by saying that woman begins straight
in the morning and is on the bias in
me evening. When she appears on
the street ut 10 a. m. her skirt must
be as straight as the path of life laid
out for us by the Bible. There must
not be deviation in the way of a
flare, ripple or ruflle. The skirt
may 20 in hit at the ankles, but that
is not required by fashion. 1t must
hook like Il straight bag dropped from

In the afternoon the skirt begins to
waver from the straight line. Ii takes
unto itself Il tunic. which Is attached

therefore the skirt swings To and from

comes more slender than ever through
