THE GIRL SCOUTS ....
rAvORs NO COLOR
(By Associated Negro Press.)


Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 12.-The Girl
Scouts being thoroughly democratic
and American organization, it favors
neither color nor creed. Owing to this
advantage the number Of Negro Girl
Scouts is on the increase, showing q
splendid roll to date. Nearly $50 have
enrolled under leadership especially
chosen. The roster shows that the Euc-
lid Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church
has twenty scouts, under Jessie Blair,
captain.
AS mark Of force Of the new move
ment in the education of girls,
glance at the July report from National
Girl Scout headquarters, just received
here, shows that during last month 258
girls, new scouts, have been added to
the national roll, and this does not in
clude the unregistered scout girls.

The Newest Frocks
Are Long-Waiste
and Drip Fur

TVOR the first time in many years
u the waistline is placed low.
Many women have held to the some
what raised waistline, thinking that
it gave them a more youthful ap-
pearance. That this never was true
is proven by the new long-waisted
frocks, which have the skirt gath
cred to the bodice after the manner
Of a child's dress. The effect is
charming. When we see the beauty
and grace Of the long, fitted bodice
that moulds itself to the figure we
wonder how we ever could have
thought the short corsage thing of
beauty.
For some time there has been a
treat samenesS to bodices. Now they
are receiving more of the designers
attention than any other part of
dress and interesting is their devel-
opment. This change in waists, all
of which are more or less nipped In
TO mould themselves to the figure, is
likely to bring about a change in
corsets, for II the waistline of the
garment is made smaller and defined
our corsets must be cut with more
decided curve than the straight
models that we have been wearing.
These long wrinkled and fitted
waists bring with them the old
fashioned basque. 1t is not likely
that they will be worn to any great
extent, but this type of bodice once
so prominent always returns when
the cycle Of fashion brings to us the
long, fitted corsage. Now it is an
outcome of the idea of one designer,
who cuts the waist portion of his
dresses longer in the back than in
she front, sometimes adding to them
A ripping ruffle formed by godets
Of the cloth.

only are there nuted tunics but

The Sleeve Is Now
Short but Flaring

GREAT interest still centres
around sleeves. In many OF the
street frocks they are long and tight
fitting to correspond with the
bodices, while sleeves Of afternoon
frocks are still short; but whereas

or three large buttons. A cfinkled
basouelike waist closing after this
manner appears in the frock at the
upper left Of to-day's page. This
model has many interesting feat
ures other than the bodice closing.
While the basque and slender
straight underskirt are of fine
French serge, the full tunic is
formed by tiers of Roman striped
ribbon, each tier being fringed to
make the trimming.
To follow fashions latest dictate,
which says that TUNES, although an
important item Of skirts, must only
be seen at the sides and front and
rever across the back, this one
starts at the bps, leaving a panel
width Of the straight blue serge
skirt to hang uncovered at the back.
This idea of not placing fulness
across the back is carried out in
coats as well as dresses, no gathers
being seen except on the sides and
front, which are very full.

Since fastenings are receiving so

of brightness.
A frock of black velours fastens
down the full length Of the long
bodice with a chain Of silver rings.
The sleeves, which are long, tight
and crinkled to correspond with the
waist, fasten from elbow to wrist
after the same manner.

French and American designers
appear to be playing a game regard
ing the length of skirts. When the
French made their skirts short, as
they did this spring, we in this coun'
try wore ours long. This season,
when we have shortened our skirts,
word comes to Us that many Of tire
gowns seen at the Paris openings
have skirts considerably longer than
those Of the spring.
