WHEN very formal evening affairs
~ are in prospect, an all-back frock
is prOvocatively interesting, practical
and extremely smart this winter. In
the rich black lace and midnight shad-
owS of the panne velvet in this dress
there is the romantic atmosphere OF
gay old Spain with it's suggestion of
shaded balconies and tender serenatas
on tinkhng guitars.
Even if it is dress that came
direct from Paris it is simple to du-
plicate. 1t is built on a China silk
foundation, with the lace edging,
which is ten inches wide, sewed down
each side a few inches apart, and
around the hem. Cascaded at the
hips and kept fiat by the panels of
velvet at the back and front, it pro-
duces the valesquez silhouette so
popular in evening gowns. Note the
low hanging points of the lace which
gives the irregular hem effect, also
a modish feature of the new gowns,
The charming headdress is contriv-
ed with fold of silver metal cloth
and a cluster of pearls in graduated
sizes.

WARSHIP SAILS WITH AWNINGS
American Destroyer Travels Thousand
Miles to the Azores With
out Fuel.

Ponta Delgada.-On account @
water in its fuel oil supply the United
States destroyer Maddox ran short of
fuel 1000 miles from the Azores and
was forced to resort to the expedient
of using it's awnings for sails.
The. Maddox has just arrived safe
ly at Ponta Delgada.
The Maddox, while acting as a
guard ship on the recent transatlan-
tic air flight, sighted the disabled oil
tanker Maumee in distress in a gale,
The Maddox towed the tanker, which
is ten times its size, until it was re-
lieyed by other destroyers.

length of one and one-half miles. Either

"Yes, thank you. After 1 did get

a dinner in the country. l have asked
Barrett Edmonds to join us" this last
to Rose.
After ne left, Rose said:

""Ghy?"
Il promised to meet him again this
afternoon for tea. Of course can't
now," she looked so disappointed that
asked:
But wouldn't you rather go for
the ride and dinner as long as Bar
rett is to be along, than just to have
tea with Mr.. Kemp?"
''No indeed! l would rather spend
half an hour with him, than hours
with anyone else
bad as thatp' l laughingly re-
piled, thinking Rose was simply voic-
ing one of her usual exaggerations,
not dreaming she was in earnest.
Eyes, bad as thatw she replied as
she went to the telephone.
Naturally l heard part of the dis
jointed conversation-just enough to
know that they had impressed one
another enough to prefer being to-
gether than with others. Rose said;
"You Know l wouldr' Then; "In-
deed | will-no, I'll not let anything
prevent. OF course I'd rather be
with you," etc., proving plainly that
my premise was correct.
l said nothing, however, to Rose.
Yet / couldn't help feeling sort Of
shut out, as if l wasn't wanted. Rose
was my guest, yet she was making
all sorts of plans which did not in
clude me. 1 never thought that had
it not been for Everett training in
the conventions, l would probably
have thought it all right 1t was only
because he had made me understand
what my duties were as social fac
tor, that | understand Roses faux
pas.
We had delightful ride and Rose
was charmingly devoted to Barrett
Edmonds. But he didn't seem entire
ly to respond, which rather pleased
me. Everett was the perfect host.
AS usual I was very proud of him,
yet kept thinking of what Rose had
said about his age.
Thoughtless people can cause a
great deal of trouble, and while what
Rose had said was childish, much of
it even silly, it kept recurring to me
until we reached the road house
where we were to dine. Then the
perfect smoothness with which we
were served and the attention given
Everett, consoled me for having an
cold man" for husband. The din
ner was perfection. Everett had or
dered it bv telephone so no ugly
paper n,Gsns were passed around and
there were no long waits between
the courses.
The music was delightful. Everett
danced with both Rose and me, and
smilingly told me that for once he
would waive his objections to my
dancing in public with anyone but
him. So Barrett and l had wonder
full dance. If Barrett made love to

the second thing, and never later
than the third, that is told to the
newcomer by the old-timers.

Does that sound like you are

tions of the whole country and
where you are likely making more
money than ever before in your
life.
Maybe it is hot--but where are

known expression and say: Every
town is the heightened shadow of
its inhabitants" Ii is not unc0m-
mon to hear some person say:
what do you expect of a jay town
like this?" and ii reminds us of
the foreign citizen who is cOntin-
ually telling his friends how much
better the country he came from
is than this.

We noted the following verse to-
day. Read it:

Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a
grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left be-

It's knock at yourself when you
knock your town.

Mutual productions, bubbles over in

Susan"
TIE theme of the play is the ever
new, always interesting and much dis
cussed subject of "clothes and the
woman" Two male theorists who are
forever arguing the question of what
constitutes an attractive woman,
whether attraction enhanced by beau
tiful gowns, or mental charm, find
themselves in the predicament of hav-
ing a girl of primitive tastes but great
physical beauty thrust upon them.
How they succeeded in bringing forth
the butterfly from the chrysalis only
to find they have both fallen in love
with the girl, makes a fascinating
story replete with humor and unusual
situations.
There are some lovely woodland
and mountain scenes, and Miss Fisher
wears some dazzling gowns after her
reclamation from the woods.
