We're very ugly indeed-especially In
the cheaper ready-to-wear evening
frocks which had no softening line at
the top.
Skirts of evening gowns are longer
too. which makes for grace and
charm. Some of the costumes have
skirt draperies which hang TO the
floor, and this irregular hem line. with
draperies dropping longer than the
skirt itself is a feature of formal eve
ming gowns. The effect is perfectly
illustrated in one of the costumes pic

eouturier. This is a gown of hello

embroidered pattern forming panels
at either side of the bodice and en-
tirely covering apron panels that
swing at back and front of the skirt.
A feature of the costume is the very
low. very loose waistline, with fiat
panels at front and back and drapery

very full and is gathered into a mar

presses the idea Of continuity of line
referred to earlier IN this chat. The
lines seem to flow into each other
from neck to ankle and the rich
fabrics and exquisite colors blend in
perfect harmony throughout the cos
tune. It is a gown classically beauti-
full and bound to be becoming to any
type OF wearer.

The Packard people have been at
work for n period Of years to perfect
'their six-cylinder car. That car Is
ton Of the demand that has been
'created for it. 1t can be said that the
output OF the factory for April of this
year will be three times that of the
output for March.
The biggest thing that the Packard
Company has done for Ardmore Is to
make this distributing point Here.
tofore Mr.. Harris has dealt under the
Tulsa agency, but from this time on
he will deal direct with the factory
He will have all the discounts and all

Is given such cities as Tulsa, Dallas

credit for this change to the progress

Harris and part to the cooperation
OF the daily paper in Ardmore with
the automobile fraternity and to the
business interests of the state.
AS result OF this change the
Packard people will spend just as much
advertising money in Ardmore as
they spend in the largest cities Of the
country.
More than two hundred of the twin
skies have been sold in Tulsa alone
and the company believes that figures
that approximate these will be the
results achieved in Ardmore.
The greatest technical engineer with
the company, ]. J. Gutman, who has
been on trip to the Pacific coast, is
now speeding toward Ardmore and has
reached as far as FL Paso. He will
come direct from that city here and
will spend several days during the
show with Mr.. Harris. His mission
Is to look after Packard service and
to give training to the men OF the
