DAME FASHION HINTS
THAT-IT CAN'T BE TRUE
Rumor From Cleveland Init
mates Long Skirts and Straight
Lines-"Neyer!" Say Modistes

A shocking rumor from Cleveland
and nobody in town willing to con
firm it..
Leading authorities were consulted
without revealing a substantiating clue.
Only one answer comes decidedly from
those in position to know.
"Ask Paris"
But" we insisted Cleveland says
so positively"
"Cleveland?" the eyebrows were ele-
waited to indicate scorn. New York is
the center Of information-news direct
from Paris, the only reliable source. -
Will Congress start an investigation
on this leak? Well, hardly The rumor
has nothing to do with peace or the
league of nations. Listen!
The national cloak, suit and skirt
manufacturers in their national confer
ence in Cleveland prophesied on the fall
and winter styles for women:
Straight fronts and backs and classic
lines for the new vogue. Not Greece or
Rome, surely! We remember no
straight lines there. Probably the ideas
were taken from ancient Egypt, where
geometry was invented.
Skirts are to be long, instep length,
and wide enough for comfortable walk
ing; they are now at the ankle, and
who knows but that Christmas will see
the street sweeping styles being worn.
The rumor says also, that the suits
will be much trimmed with tucks, but
tons, stitching. High collars up to the
ears.
'The American woman never adopts a
foolish fashion," stoutly defend the au-
thorities.
"But our large foreign population?"
we ventured.
And here we are m the middle of
June and cannot discover what the fall
and winter fashions are to be. Paris
is again withholding information which
every American woman voter has a
right to know.

The second man to have discovered
'Garabed' is seeking a way to have
the government take over his invention.
This time, however. he comes from
Brooklyn, and not from Boston. And
his name is William J. Beisel.
Here is what he says:
For the past twenty five years
nave been working on what is termed
perpetual motion, and l now have in
my possession complete plans. NV de-
vice is most simple and practical in its
construction and can be applied for the
purpose of propelling boats of any
description. airships, tanks and trucks.

This hardly seems credible. but il
nevertheless true, as I have not only in
vented the device, but have studied from
every possible angle its possible failure
to function. I can find none and am
convinced l have discovered what the
world today thinks impossible.

VALUE OF A SMILE

VALUE OF A SMILE
The thing that goes the farthest toward
Making life worth while.
That costs the least, and does the most
Is just a pleasant smile
That gladly bubbles from heart
That loves its fellow men,
Who drives away the clouds of gloom
And coax the sun again.
It's full of worth and goodness too,
With manly kindness bent.
It's worth a million dollars, and it
Doesn't cost cent.
There is no room for sadness
When you see CHEEKY smile.
1t always has the same good look,
It's never out of style.
1t nerves us on to try again
When failures makes us blue,
The dimples of encouragement
Are food for me and you.
1t pays the interest, for
1t is merely lent.
It's worth million dollars
And it didn't cost cent.
