GRAY VELVET AND GRAY FUR
IN THIS SIMPLE FRENCH FROCK.
mothers. If they have not wearied of
it, remind US that We shall pay the
penalty by having rheumatism in our
old age.
It Is so hard when you are no longer
young to believe the girl who assures
you that she really doesn't feel cold
when underclad in winter nor warm
when overclad in summer. But real
ly she doesn't. Cast back in your
memory and you will recall that you
didn't. You were too breathlessly in
terested in life to be sensitive of such
things.
But French women seemingly never
grow old enough to feel cold or
heat And the American woman who
watches them in their disregard for
the thermometer is left guessing. One
day she thinks they must be stoics-
to bear up in midsummer under furs
and velvets-and the next day she
thinks they are fools.
Velvet for Cold Winter.
French fashions this year have
rather fitted in with our require
ments. Velvet was launched in July,
sometimes velvet trimmed with fur.
Americans in Paris looked on aghast.
but as they looked they made mental
notes of velvet frocks that they them
selves would have when the climate
was more favorable.
Since one or two very cold winters
not long ago. most American women
have had in the back Of their heads
a resolution to have ready for an
emergency several winter frocks that
will secure not only good looks but
perfect comfort Unfortunately when
those cold winters struck us before.
velvet was not in fashion. Now it
is. 1t has been exploited at the open
ings not only for evening frocks of
rare gorgeousness. hut for daytime
frocks as well. And it lends itself
excellently to the type of straight
line frock that has superseded the
chemise frock Of other seasons.
A skirt very narrow across the hips
is not attractive in velvet. More
over. it is not practical. for the velvet
soon shows the wear at the back.
However. IL there is some fullness in
the skirt. this is very apparent, and
fullness is possible only when the
velvet is as it is this season of sup
pie texture.
In today's sketch you may see a
type of frock well adapted to the
manipulation of velvet And here
the dressmaker has combined gray
velvet and black with wrist and COL
lar trimming of gray squirrel.

Velvet Frocks.

the thermometer in their selection of
clothes. They wear velvet and fur in

stockings and pumps and slippers in
midwinter.

STILL BROKEN UP BY FIRE

From Every Evenings Correspondents.
Scaford, July l5.-An abandoned still
was found on the farm Of Luther Nj.
Culver, close to Bounds mill pond
about three miles Invest of Seaford, yes
terday by Harry W. Berridge, tenant of
the farm, The stall was located in dense
woods, and from evidences surrounding
the place, the still had been but recently
abandoned. Near the scene Berridge
found large barrel buried in the ground
evidently used by the moonshiners for
sortage purposes. They had taken part
of the still away, but left some of the
more important parts.
1t is thought the moonshiners were
routed from their hiding place by a
forest fire, which visited the woods
where the still was located, few days
ago. Evidences of the fire reaching near
the scene of their operations were found,
OF late there has appeared an un-
usually large amount of intoxicating
liquors in this section, and the supposi-
ton is that most of it came from the
abandoned still.
