Million Dollar a Day
Store Buyer Tells
Women What They'll Wear
BY EDWARD NJ. THIERRY.

NEW YORK.-There is a man
who knows what you are going to
wear before you wear It, who buys
It so that you can buy It, who knows
what you like and don't like before
you do--who keeps about two Jumps
ahead OF your pocketbook and your
taste in styles.
He is Alfred Fantl. He spends
more than $1,000 900 a day as resi-
dent buyer OF several hundred de-
partment stores and speciality shops
scattered over the United States. He
ought to be-and is-an expert on
styles.
Fantl says:
Extremely long skirts are mere
ly a brief fad. Skirts are getting
shorter again-the proper length
will be about nine inches from the
ground.
Women can't wear long dresses
with bobbed hair.
''Bobbed hair Is here 10 stay:
switches now being sold are only
temporary.
The day OF the petticoat and
the shirtwaist is over permanently.
Modern dancing has taken the
steel out OF corsets.

time. Few women know how to
choose the correct earrings; short
ones are the better.
Dresses with capes and coats have
the call over suits"

lean number is only 1874, relatively small
percentage of the whole, while two thirds
of the French graves from the Verdun
battle are classed as Unknown. This is a
tribute to our careful system of identified
ton tags. teeth charts and burials. Too
much credit for this cannot be given to the
Graves Registration Service, who are still
making positive identifications among our
unknown dead. Their work has been going
on quietly for four years, and the wonder
full results merit the highest praise.
After seeing the work from all sides and
knowing the care and attention that is
given to each burial, L would say positively
that he Graves Registration Service is as
free from making mistakes as any human
agency can be. There are absolutely no
grounds for thinking that any body that
has been returned to the United States for
final burial is not the right one nor that
there has been any possibility of mistake.
The thoroughness of the service is mar

and has won our personal admiration for

faults, as we and the best of our friends
have faults. but her virtues enormously
outweigh them.
The really important thing about the
whole trip is that We can return to the
United States with our heads I'D and

to call ourselves Americans. Everywhere

Then he trudged back down the hill.
He had been saving his money for four
years to make this trip. When he returned

The next day the little silk flag was wet

Mrs. Herbert Knox Smith of Hart ford, was reelected as president of the Connecticut League of Women ISoters at the annual session of the League held here today. Other of ficers were elected during the after noon session.
 At the forenoon session Mrs Will liam H. Deming of Hartford, presid- ed. It was a "legislative' session at which Miss Marjorie Cheney of South Manchester, chairman of the legisla- tive committee, presented the program of the League recommended by the executive board.
 Tn program is divided into two sec tions, one an active list of measures for which the League will devote special attention before the next ses sion of the legislature. This includes acceptance by the state of matern- ity and child hygiene program in ac- coro with the terms of the Shepard. Towner Federal Act; restriction of the hours of women workers to nine per day instead of ten as at present and a state civil service law.
 The second list contains a list of measures which the committee hopes may be furthered but which will be subordinated to the active list. This list includes: Proposal to make wom en eligible for jury duty; an amend msnt to the Juvenile Court Act; re- organization of the state departments somewhat along the line of the civil administration code presented to the last legislature; regulation of street trading by children and a bill raising the age of consent.
