In this little town OF Milford.
Which both Kent and Sussex claim,
A wonsan's club was formed
With New Century" for its name.
On Monday they assemble
! From all parts OF this quaint town,
| To read, and talk and tremble.
When great subjects they PROFOUND.
| They're q band OF modest women,
But each one does her part,
And when called upon to lend q hand
Agree, tho faint at heart.
There are no drones among them,
Tho some can silent be;
/ II they don't read, or talk or sing,
They're spry to pour the tea.
| What IL clothes are on the line,
! And supper little late,
And husbands homeward plod their
way
To sit, and read, and waltz
Are not the women growing wise
In laws of home and state?
VIII they not some day rise to be
Mans equal. helpful mate?
They're learning the history OF ma
tons
And are UP In music and art.
Here's a committee on travel and
temperance,
And literature's learned by heart
New Century does not mean
To make woman half a man,
But. place her where God willed,
When He this world did plan.
In this little town of Milford.
Which both Kent and Sussex claim
Woman is marching onward
With progress for her aim.

PARIS FASH|ONlbLES
STILL STICK TO BLACK
Reject Dressmakers' Color
Schemes and Adhere to Color
Worn in War Time.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening.
Paris, Nov. 26-Black remains SUI
preme In the fashion world Of Paris.
Gates of color, the supreme council OF
style has been forced to retain the
conventional black as the dominant
motif OF all fall and winter modes and
there is every indication that colors,
except in minor trimming effect will
not be able to challenge black until
late spring.
Adopted at a time when economy
was the guiding idea Of all feminine
garded as the most becoming color.
French women say It Is alone In lend
ing itself to striking effects.
DressmakOs quietly gathered to-
gether before fall and winter models
were given to the world and tacitly
agreed that colors should have q
chance. The adoption OF black was
hurting them financially. One black
gown. carefully selected, took the
ferent colors.
But the French women who are in
dicators OF the newest developments
In style, said a very emphatic mo"
The demand this fall was for black
and the big dressmakers bowed TO the
Inevitable. Crepe Moroccan, velve-
tine and perllaine are the most popu-
lar materials.
The corset makers. however. have
been slightly moro successful in their
efforts to bring the corset back into
It's own. Dressmakers are insisting
that corsets are now necessary TO
give the ''uncorseted look" This
propaganda has succeeded in some In
stances but most French women
having fought and won their freedom,
are loath, in the language of famous
French actress, ito Jail their bodies
again"
There are four definite features of
the fall and winter modes: very
long waist line, longer circular skirts
with fun sides. eccentric sleeves OF
gay colors and the famous Bateau
neck line.
Brick red has b n used Extensively
ornaments for hats, purses. dresses
and even SHOES are the newest thins
in novelties.
Door knobs and nall head effects ar,
used in making girdles. In the cas-,
of shoes the usual order OF things ha,
been reversed and the smartest shoe.
in Paris are "knickerbocker" shoes
with large steel buckles.
These shoes look more like Ameri
can shoes than anything ever befor'
worn by French women, although tn,
French last is retained. The shor
stubby toe has disappeared in stylish
French footwear.
Elack again dominates in hats, fel
being the best liked materials. Crowns
are much higher and the fall hats ar,
so big that they interfere with dane
ing. SMALL hats will be worn witt
fur coats later in the season.
Circular earrings, usually circle o
Jet or ebony within larger circle, ar
worn by the best dressed women thi
fall. Novelty shops cannot make then
fast enough. Some women wear yer,
large ones, almost canibalistic in ef
feet.
Gay color has its only opportun,t,
in evening gowns for young girls
These are made in the brightest O
oolors but the evening dresses wor
