Louisville, KY, Just where the
graceful hip sash the outstanding
feature of autumn modes in after
noon and evening war should end,
and the length of the skirt of
smart tailored suit for morning wear,
are some of the problems to be solv-
ed By Mrs G. A. Goodell, President
of the Parent-Teacher League of
Louisville. and her committee on cos
tunes, for Women's Club Day, SIP
TENDER IL, at the Kentucky State
Fair, September IL to 16.
Merchants of Louisville will sub
init models to these women, who in
turn will approve those most repre-
sentative of good taste as understood
by them. What to wear at club
meetings, lectures. musicals, and, at
the theater will be featured in exr
hibition cases throughout the entire
week of the Fair.
And so we women, to be correctly
attired beyond a question of doubt,
should gaze upon the official gowns
and instruct the home dress maker to
follow suggestions acquired from the
gazing.
Mothers OF the State will no longer
bear the brunt of the blame for i'm
possible flapper costumes. Fer it is
safe to predict that the skirts and
draperies of the chosen gowns, will
be neither too long, or in any way
ridiculously fashionable.
From the young women CONES the
question-will these thoughtful wo-
men approve ear rings?
Shall young matrons be guilty OF
bad taste if hoops and pendants of
Jade sway from their ears? We must
wait until the Fair to learn the ans
wer. In the meantime the young
wives may silently hope that thu
beauty of the official wax figure
gowned in a ravishing evening gown,
will be increased with pearl, jade or
coral ear decorations.
The clubwomen have consented to
make selections of suitable costumes,
because they realize the importance
of good taste in dressing.
The flapper with her short hair
and shorter skirts must go, so fash
ion DEGREES. But the black gowned
"vamp" with trailing draperies must
not take her place.
Mrs. Goodell has named the fol-
lowing women as members of her
committee: Mrs. VILLAIN S. Sheri-
dan, representing the Outdoor Art
League; Mrs. Bernard Seligman OF
the Jewish Women's Federation; and
Mrs. A. Il. Broderick, from the Bus
mess and Professional Women's Club.
Tbs fifth member is to be appointed
and will be a representative Of the
Womans Club.
Judging from the interest in the
Costume Committee, and its duties,
it is quite safe to say that every wo-
man will visit the magnetic spot
where these officially chosen gowns
will be shown
