HOOKS AND EYES
BECOMING RELICS
Emancipation in Dress Is Fol-

CHICAGO, July 26.-Emancipation
in womens dress has followed closely
on political emancipation.
With buttons, hooks and eyes rap.
idly becoming just relics, domestic
emancipation has been brought both
to men and women. The young hus-
band Of this and future generations
will know nothing at all about the
terrors of hooking her up in back
and wives are no longer dependent
on their husbands every time they
want TO dress up.
These are assertions of members
of the Women's Apparel Association,
which is exhibiting trick" garments,
intimate and otherwise, here this
week.
Some score years ago, it is under

According to the sleek gentlemen at
the fashion show, those days have
gone forever and women are wearing
| less clothes and less buttons every
day.

while r. F. Rashid showed him some
of the trickiest and niftiest Of his
line. The first to be held up was

The difference between this teddy

the top part of it. This is to be worn
with a suit, and saves a lot Of pinning,
and is altogether preferable except in
strong wind. The vest is white and
plated.
The "step-ins" seemed to be soft
silky boomers or something.
Well, most all of the latest lingerie

fort and maximum comfort, and pre-

people have thoughtlessly neglected
an exhibit of models. Not only the

which slip right on and stay on with
out more than a tug or two to right
them. Some Of them are expensive
but there's no hooking or fastening or
| buttoning involved.

A trim-looking parlormaid opened
the door of the Kemp bungalow in
answer to his summons but shook her
head when he asked for Mr.. Richard.

But what has all this to do with
the test you propose making? What
has it to do with Patricia's warning
about a tattoOed arm?'
Miles was saved the necessity of a
reply by the entrance of the servant
who announced Mr.. David Zorn. The
latter proved to be a fair-haired i'm
maculately attired young man with an
expression of polite boredom in his
sleepy blue eyes.

Sergeant. You mentioned a-er-
little proposition over the phone-?"

lady of IS who lives with her father,

uncles in a Long Island suburb has
left her home under mysterious cir
Cumstances in which,, however, we
are satisfied no romance is involved.
Her father has asked me to engage
a private detective to locate her, but
we are, at the request of the young
lady herself and without his knowl-
edge or that of his sister or brothers,
investigating a certain matter which
threatens them. The position which
Sergeant Miles and I have taken is
this: the young lady must be located
at the earliest possible moment but
not disturbed if she is in safe hands,
and we do not want her father in
formed Of her whereabouts, although
he must be persuaded upon to take
no further step on his own initiative.

Perfectly" The drawl was gone
from Zorn's voice when did the
young lady disappear, Mr.. Wells, and
in what manner"
The attorney turned to Miles who
quickly recounted the circumstances.

to me is that the fellow might be a

Zorn.

Painted Skirt

The hand-painted skirt is creating
a sensation in fashion circles. It usu-
ally has a white foundation. though
black and vivid colors respond to such
decoration. The designs are put on
with a free hand. sometimes in floral
and sometimes in futurist effects. So
far their mission has been confined to
sports wear.

However, should mans wife

liberty to try again.
