r TOLD you when Mrs. Tom Newhall
l came back from Europe we would see
some stunning clothes. For Honora
blackwell Newhall knows how to dress
lust about as we'll as anybody else IN
this town, and a great deal better than
most of us. Well. l saw her on Seven
tenth street yesterday, and / made no
mistake in my prediction. She was
wearing n frock OF soft gray crepe de
chine, made with the new long draped
lines, and the back of the bodice was

touch Of violet purple somewhere about
the gown, and the hat was large
model of gray Of the exact same shade

velvet flower at one side Of the front,

wonderful to see. and Mrs. Newhall.

heard him ask small sister: III get
you doll. do YOU want 1t to have long
curs like yourS?" s. S. replied
thoughtfully: "You know, b'lieve Ia
