joins forces with plated georgette to
make this ingenious model, the geor-
gette forming the upper portion of the
blouse and sleeves 1t ends in points
from which are suspended loops of the
material fastened to the points with
small, satin ornaments. The crepe de
chine falls over the plated georgette
which forms the lower part of the
blouse and the peplum. A belt of the
crepe slips through the suspended
loops and confines the blouse at the
waist line. The frills that finish the
sleeves are wide and the sleeves them
selves rather large and slightly flaring.
The new neck line appears in this
model and, altogether, it is about the
most promising in style and attractive
ness that has come up for judgment
thus far.

our era of eNtravagant buy
ing is about over. and its effect
is beginning 20 be felt.
There is a slow but certain
tendency toward a decline in
prices, with the prospect that
another year may witness a
material reduction in the cost
of living.
But anything like a sudden
drop in all lines is not TO be ex-
pected. II is rather To be
avoided, as IL might bring our
whole commercial fabric tumb-
ling about our ears in the
greatest panic in history. And
no sane person wants panic.
Before there can be any
great decline there must first

infinite patience can satisfac-

Resolution Seeking Gov

Resolutions urging the, Fedora

obtaining free books for graded and
high school pupils were adopted by
the Central Citizens Association at
a meeting held the Juvenile Court
last night.
This movement with the endorse
sment of the Central Association
will be presented to the federation
for ratification by each association
of the city. By this plan the books
used by the pupils would be pur-
chased by the government and is
sued gratis to the pupils.
The citizens also expressed their
belief that the traffic regulations of
should be more stringently en-
forced. To do this the association
proposes that either the staff be
augmented sufficiently to allow a
more detailed operation or have
the force now employed redis-
tributed.
Announcement was made to the
effect that the three District Com
