TO Women
A NEW SPORT SUIT FROM PARIS.
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.
cial Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, March Is, 1919.-There
is not an inch more of material in the
new French gowns than there has
been since last summer In truth. the
observer thinks there is less than mas
ever been known in the history OF
civilized fashions.
There was rumor from over the
water that France was to adopt the
American style of long skirts, Out
there is no evidence of this 1act:
There are skirts that are only nVe
told that the best French matrons
have worn them without seeming re-
alization of their bad taste.
Skirts ten inches from the ground
are common; twelve and fourteen
inches from the floor are frequent
In addition to the shortness there is
a scantiness that is appalling to the
conservatives. The skirts are cut OF,
the old shea n pattern, when causeu
sensation in the world OF women
and among their critics about elght
years ago. This skirt has gone IN ana
out of fashion. 1t is a veritable comet.
1t looks as though the designers nave
thrown it on the market whenever
they were in doubt as to .,',aa what chahse
should be made in the styles
1t is deplorab BILE skirt for the Stout
it is a sensational skirt for the Slim
There is no one to say that 1t Will
not rule in America. for we have ac-
cepted it every time that it has come
over the horizon. 1t is not new this
season to those who have desired TO
wear the extreme. 1t was launched
by American houses last summer; IN
fact, even before then; and IT mas
York for the last eight months as
Army uniforms.
France Slashes the Sides.
1t did not need Paris to send this
type of skirt over as part of sport
suit which has just been done by Bull
loz designer who has been depended
upon for three years for brilliant
styles. 1t was worn on the links of a
southern country club as early as the
1st of February. An expert gol1er
wore a white skirt that reached to
her ankle and was slashed at the
sides to show white woolen stock
ings.
There were other golf skirts in
| black and white checks that reached
to the ankles and which were so mar
row that the wearer could not pos
sibly have walked on the links unless
there was tapping seam at the side,
unfaStened for ten inches in order to
give freedom of movement.
These costumes did not create SEN
| sation in the south among the aver
age public, but the observer saw in
| them a significant change.
Skirt Fastens to Blouse.
The Paris sport suit, which has been
made by a man who never went in
for sport clothes before. has it's mar
row slashed skirt buttoned at the
hips to a deep, straight blouse.
The sketch shows the gown in its
entirety. 1t is of tan and white silk
tricolette. The long bodice which runs
to the hips is made of the two ma
terials, and the edges of the white
part are embroidered with tan silk
threads.
There is a short turned-under panel
of the tan at the back of the blouse

Working at the switchboard in a
Boston department store is tame after
what Miss Jessie Hartman did in
Washington as a yeowoman. She will
never forget the thrill she felt when
she put the call through to the White
House announcing to President Will
son the signing of the armistice. Miss
Hartman, who is twenty-five years
old, served ten months as chief opera
tor on one of the most important
switchboards in the Navy Depart
ment.

But there were no sounds. There

the more he wondered how 1t nap

didn't move Could it be that some
thing had happened to Buster, and
that he was dead? Supposing this
were true. what wonderful piece OF
news he would have to tell all the
other little people.
Peters curiosity was growing very
fast It was growing so fast that it
was driving out fear. The longer he
sat there the more he felt that he just
simply must find out more about
Buster Bear. He had been close to
Buster once without anything hap
pening to him, so why couldn't he do
it again? The more he thought about
it the more it seemed that he just
must have another look at Buster
Bear. BY and by he got his courage
up and began to creep back toward
the middle of that great pile of brush.
He crept very slowly and very care
fully. stopping at each step to look
and listen.
Deep down inside little voice was
talking to him. 1t kept telling him
that he was foolish to run such
risk. At the same time. curiosity
was urging him on. Peter preferred
to listen to curiosity. and so he kept
on, creeping nearer and nearer to
where Buster Bear lay.

HISTORICAL WIEN
IN MANCHESTER
Burr and Burton Gymnasium Filled
with Objects Of Great Interes, TO
all Lovers OF Art and Local History.

all Lovers OF Art and Local History.
The loan exhibition Of objects Of
historical interest held in the Gym
nasium under the auspices OF the Man
chester Historical Society will amply
repay visit. The committees on Art
and collections have worked very hard
| 10 get together what is acknowledged
to be by far the most comprehensive
and interesting collection of antiques
ever shown in Manchester. There are
hundreds of exhibits Of all kinds Of
old fashioned objects. The commit
tees limited their choice TO articles Of
local historical interest and collected
them from descendants Of the old set
tiers Of Dorset, Manchester, Sunder-
land and Arlington. Nearly every old
family in the four towns is represent
ed. Many of the exhibits have never
before been shown in public. They
have been artistically arranged and
the visitor will see more than hap
hazard collection Of old things. On
the first floor there is a colonial bed
room ard an old fashioned kitchen,
such as might have been seen in any
of our old houses hundred and
twenty-five years ago. Upstairs in
showcases are exhibited valuable ar
ticles, including personal belongings
of Abraham Lincoln, loaned by his
son, the Hon. Robert T. Lincoln. The
collection Of old portraits is particu-
larry interesting.
The exhibition of modern paintings
by local artists and of local subjects,
adds modern note. Some Of the
paintings are for sale and part of the
proceeds will be donated by the artists
to the Burr and Burton Seminary.
The catalogue of the historical ex-
hibits is book which no resident of
Manchester, Arlington, Sunderland
and Dorset can afford to be without. !
1t is not only an interesting souvenir
but it is crammed full of interesting
details of the exhibits and anecdotes
of our celebrities.
