Two very attractive and simple
blouses are shown in today's sketch
For the upper model soft satin or
crepe de chine is suggested, with en-
broidery in q simple line and Greek
key design in contrasting color. This
blouse buttons in the center of the
back and the back section extends
only to the waist line. The sash of
self fabric attached underneath the
arm at either side draws across the
back at the normal waist line and is
tied slightly at one side. The front
is a straight apron effect. III pre-
ferred the lower part of the sleeves
may be made OF a thinner material in
self or contrasting color, but it will
be just as smart If one material is
used for the entire garment
This blouse could be made of hand
kerchief linen or fine cotton wolfe
for summer wear with a cotton or
linen skirt.
For the lower model georgette and
filet lace are combined. The peplum
is straight at its upper edge in the
back, the curved bib effect being
used only in the front. This is de-

Red or White Beaches.

The dressmakers saw no reason why
the dead white beaches of Florida and
southern California should not be
spotted with red apparel; they felt that
French blue should fling a challenge to
southern skies, and that bright green
wraps should claim kinship to the
palms and pines. It is one of the
curious things in life that when nature
is colorful. the people wear colors, and
when nature is somber. the apparel is
somber II should be the other way
find racial disposition TO defy the
gloom of the climate with warm colors
in clothes.
So the garments that go south are
| brilliant. They have not the gorgeous
ness of the brocades. metallic tissues
and velvets that have been adopted by
society since the armistice, but they
have a gayety all their own, and they
| have no hesitancy in showing green
red, yellow and blue.
Evidently. every woman desires a red
wrap of some kind, and to meet this
desire the dressmakers have invented a
variety of garments that may be SUBJ
stituted for the sweater. Because
rance insists upon the cape and likes
/ it better than any other wrap for her
Riviera season. America has tried to
bring about q revival of interest in it.
some change is needed from the long
coat and the sport Jacket.
Here and there one sees genuine
Italian cape of scarlet lined with blue.
and again. there is short, ripping
coat that stands well out from the

across the front.

REVISION OF ANTI TRUST !
LAW NOW Being SOUGHT
U. S. Chamber of Commerce Would
Have Government Regulate
All Business.

Efforts will be made by the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States
to effect revision of the Sherman anti
trust law. The federal trade COM
mittee of the chamber has submitted
to the members of the organization
four questions on which a referendum
vote has been asked. The four ques-
lions are:
1t is recommended that Congress
consider at once all questions dealing
with antitrust legislation. 1t fur
Their recommends that there should
be formulated standards of general
business conduct, TO he administered
by a supervisory body, and suggests
that an enlarged Federal Trade Com
mission should be the supervisory
badly. thus placing the regulation of
business directly in the hands of the
government through one of it's most
important agencies.
To make the latter recommendation
effective the committee believes that
the Federal Trade Commission should
be increased in membership from five
to nine persons. The committee be-
lieveS that the new economic Ques-
tons arising out of the war make
necessary new legislation to meet
them.
Difficulties of new financing will
continue for some time after peace
treaties are proclaimed, the commit
tee points out. 1t is suggested that
some of the provisions of the Sher-
man law are ambiguous. and it is not
always possible for business to know
whether it is living strictly within
the ATTITUDES prescribed by the en-
actment-.
, For this reason a supervisory body
should be created and standards es-
tablished. With such body ready al
all times to advise or restrain, i,
would not be difficult for business to
understand just what it may do with
out running the risk of countering
with some technical inhibition, it is
I believed.

That il. the question which was puz-
cling air the little people who knew
him, and Farmer Browns Boy, and
Farmer Brown, and Mrs. Brown I
have said that it was puzzling all the
little people who knew him. This is
not quite true, because there were
two who could at least guess what
had become of Bowser. One was Old
Man Coyote. who had, as you remem-
Der, led Bowser far away and got him
lost. The other was Blacky the Grow,
who had discovered Bowser in his
trouble and had helped him
Old Man Coyote didn't know ex-
actly where Bowser was, and he
wasn't interested enough to think
| much about it. He hoped that Bow
ser had been so badly lost that he
never would return, Blacky the
Crow knew exactly where Bowser
was. but he kept it to himself. 1t

know. Blacky is one of those people
who can keep secret He isn't at all
like Peter Rabbit.

there would not be another chance.

would not again be so careless as to

| dy was no longer interested In the
/ chickens, but he was very much in
~terested in the fate of Bowser the
| Hound. AS day after day went by and

growing hope that he never would

Reddy to himself "He certainly

1 for a fight. But he surely has caused

NEW YORK, February /. - There
is no doubt about the crush in the south
iris year. The same feeling that caused
people to fling their caps into the air
and shout aloud their emotions on the
day the whistles blew, is expressed in
the rush toward new clothes and the
glad places of the world. People feel
that they can go south this season
without the conscience hurting. They
Rave had enough of the cold, gray days
that seemed to press upon the world
