ton of one OF society's prettiest
buds. one OF the younger guests ap-
peared in a gown OF white crystal
beaded crepe with a band of bril-
liant red chiffon tied about her left
arm. on being questioned as to the
significance OF the arm band she
coyly explained that when a girl has
been going about with a young man
for some time without actually be-
Ing engaged the other eligible young
men steer out OF her way. In other
words they leave the field to the vic

stops haunting her footsteps, the
poor girl is left nat in the cold world

Special TO The Evening Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE
improved postal service for Rich
ardson Park. which has been advo-
Gated by Senator Ball, is now being
considered by the Post Office De-
partment. Fourth Assistant Post
master General Billany said today.
Residents of Richardson Park
have taken n great interest in the
matter in preparing maps and num-
bering houses in that section. AS
sistant General Billany could not
say today just when the added SER
vice would be started but he was
of the opinion it would be soon.
II was also announced today the
Wilmington Post Office had been
allowed an additional post office
clerk to relieve the pressure Of work
and prevent overtime hours o. en-
ployes OF the office. A total OF 1917
additional clerks has been allowed

to try It all at one time. but to take
ten rotations from the waist three
times each day. This simple exer-
else is one OF the best that is known
for waist reducing.
In the bending exercise. place the
hands high over the head and with
knees held rigid bend until the fln-
ger tips touch the toes. BY using
this thirty times each day the abdo-
men will soon become reduced.
What They Are Wearing.
The most noticeable style change
on Fifth avenue is the appearance
OF the long skirt. The skirt ques-
ton has been hashed and rehashed
during the past few months until
one is entirely disgusted with the
whole skirt business. Nevertheless
we must wear them and wear them
long II We are to follow the dictates
of Dame Fashion.
From the recent appearance OF
the models and the fashionably
gowned women we might think that
the sole purpose OF the long skirt IA
to lessen the burden OF the white
wings" for long points and tra!n-like
side panels sweep the avenue as these
ladies glide along. These first long
skirts are stretched tightly about the
body without fullness or gathering
of any sort. except where they are
in draped effect at the left
hip. Most OF them show little or no
stocking. 1t is interesting to watch
their effect upon the feminine pass
ers-by.
Girls with lovely legs snicker and
pass on with noses erect. Girls less
fortunate in neither portions hurry
homeward to add long points OF
chiffon to their knee length gowns
30 that they may flount their points
he next day. Portly matrons rush
happily to their modistes. It's leg
var and the bows, leans. and dandys
Ieem to be winning out.
