New Evening Gown Decolletage
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

After the confusion is over. after
the battlefields of dress are cleared.
and one sees clearly, 1t is found that
quite important changes have taken
place in fashion.
The thousands of American women
who bought their clothes in Paris IN
September-if that is an exasgera-
tion in numbers it is because the eyes
made the calculation-exclaim with
despair, throughout their shopping,
that nothing was changed from last
year. But these women may have
changed their minds by this time
when they have had time to assimi-
late what they saw.
The deep and formal decolletage
in evening gowns and the persistent
V or square decolletage in day
gowns has begun to hammer itself
on the brain. The French dress
makers continue to show the bateau
neckline for the reason that they
other well established fashions.
Their new things were exploited
along with the old ones and the
women who bought clothes in au
tumn instead of summer found that
the new ones were to be worn by
French women. The American buy
ers had a chance at them. and they
took it. but the decision of the
American public is problematical.
The fact is that the deep decol-
IcldSc IOT evening HdS superseded
the bateau one. The gown sketched
today shows an extreme opening at
the neck. The model is by Jean
Patou of Paris. who did a thriving
trade with American women. The
material is rose colorGd velvet and
the drapery outlines a rather low
waistline in the skillful manner that
few amateurs can copy. There is a
huge bow at the side. or. rather. one
loop of bow. which is the begin
ming of a broad panel that falls into
a short train The decolletage is
deep v back and front - and of
sleeves there are none. but drip
ping from one shoulder is cascade
of pearls, somewhat. in the Callot
manner.
1t is not possible to wear this
gown to an afternoon tea. 1t has
been possible to wear most of our
evening clothes at four in the. after
noon. That's the difference between
what is and what has been.
When a woman exposes most of
her chest and back and ali of her
arms. then adds a train to her skirt,
there is only one place for her to
go. which is to a party in the evening.
The rose colored velvet of which
the gown is built is one of the new
colors for evening. All the dress
makers take a fling at it. 1t comes
in a figured brocade which is expen-
sive because of the design. but it is
more frequently seen in velvet.

Interesting, isn't 1t. that Neysa Nc
Mein. the internationally known illus
traitor, should head her list of the
twelve most beautiful American
women with Alice Joyce! Makes me
feel sort of artistic, because always
felt that way about Alice myself, as I
have previously recorded in this

could ask for is to be made like Alice
Joyce! Oh, she mentioned others, of

Distorp Of Dour Same.
BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOwLAN
GRIFFITH
VARlATlON-Griff
RACIAL oRlGIN-WeIsh.
-SOURCE-A oJven name,


The family name of Grihith, or
Griffiths, like that of Bethel, Is one
which is derived from a given name
now seldom found, though why 1t
should have fallen into disuse one
can only conjecture, for 1t Is a name
of the same type as John, which. in
its various forms, is one Of the most
popular Of given names in dozen or
more different tongues, and always
has been since the beginning of the
Christian era in each land.
While the name of John Is from
the Hebrew, meaning Gods grace"
the name of Griffith or "Griffudh," to
use a spelling more significant Of
that in the welsh language, is derived
from two Welsh words meaning
great faith"
1t is only in comparatively modern
times that Welsh family names really
have been stabilized. They devel-
oped in much the same fashion as the
English names which denote parent
age. but the duration of one Of the
stages through which such names
develop was much prolonged among
the Welsh. AS John Richardson" in
ard so Evan ap Griffudh" in Welsh
meant Evan Cor John), the son OF
Griffith" But whereas among the
English such a name came to be
given not only to mans sons, but
also to his grandsons and great
grandsons, thus losing its purely de-
scriptive character and becoming a
family name. the initial stage of the
family name was greatly prolonged
among the Welsh. Thus the son Of
Evan ap Grmudh" would be known
as Owen ap Evan" and his son in
turn as "Griffudh ap Owen" and so
on for several centuries instead Of a
few generations.

n n ISS Bill MOORE, repre-
M sentative of the Friends So
~ ciety of Philadelphia, was in
town a few days last week and
had much of interest to tell about the
women engaged in the relief work
in stricken European countries. Miss
Moore herself saw six months of
service in Vienna during 1920.
The women and girls of Austria
are turning every possible form of
Individual expertness to helping TO
earn the meager living which is all
that caI be secured in the average
Austrian family.
The unemployment in Austria is
terrifying said Miss Moore. ''and the
value of the crown is dropping each
day. 1t is common practice among
the people to buy what they can the
minute they get any money. There
is no use saving their money. be-
cause it won't be worth as much
the next day as it is the day they re-
ceive it,"
The American Friends service COM
mission has occupied itself with re-
lief work in France, Germany, Rus
sia. Poland and Austria since the
armistice was signed. Now it is
Austria. where conditions are prob
ably more desperate than in any other
European country. DR.. Hilda Clark,
the daughter of the late famous
English Quaker statesman, is in
charge of the Friends relief work in
Austria. Whereas in Russia and Po-
land the Friends found the women
needing assistance to be more of the
peasant type. in Austria they were of
the educated, cultured classes who
were bending every effort to help
themselves.
Miss Moore says it is very gratify-
ing to note the number of women and
girls who have Joined in this relief
work. At present there are a great
many more women engaged in the
work than men. During the war the
number of women sent over by this
society was necessarily limited, but
now they lead in the expeditions con-
ducting the relief work and solving
the problems as far as it is possible
for any outsiders to help in solving
the problems of the struggling peo-
pie of crushed nation.

GEORGE f. TALBOT
SELF.MADE MAN

The announcement OF Judge
George +. Talbot for Justice of the
Supreme Court appears in to-day's
Sentinel. The following is taken
from a biographical sketch of the
Judge published in a recent issue OF
the Humboldt Star:
George F. Talbot, who was NOM
mated for Justice Of the Supreme
Court at the recent primary election,
has had a remarkable career as a
self-made man and stands among the
foremost jurists in this country.
He comes from revolutionary war
stock and many of his ~forefathers
died fighting for the independence OF
the American colonies.
BY working on a farm in Nevada
he earned money with which to COM
plete his education beyond the public
schools.
He was elected and reelected Dis
trict Attorney of Elko County and in
that Office showed high ability and
zeal in protecting the interests Of the
county and enforcing the laws.
He was elected one of the four dis
trict judges at large when the State
was in one judicial district. Upon
division into districts he was re-elect-
ed Judge of the fourth judicial dis
trict, comprising the territory en-
braced in Elko, White Pine, Lincoln
and Clark Counties. Later he was
elected and reelected Justice of the
Supreme Court. In the State cleo
ton two years ago he was elected a
Regent of the University. With him
the Office has always sought the a
He has never asked any one to vote
for him. He is plain. kindly and APP
~proachable with all. He has spent
thousands of dollars aiding prospec-
tors, developing mines and in other
enterprises for the welfare of the
State.
1t is at the earnest solicitation of
people of all classes hat he is now
running for Justice of the Supreme
Court, an Office of highest import
ance, for which he is most eminently
fitted by experience, ability and tenn
permanent.
Judge Talbot is a close student Of
the law and of public affairs and
takes a deep interest in all matters
pertaining to the welfare of the peo-
pie. His decisions are judicial clas-
sizes. They show careful preparation
and are marked by close analysis,
c~learness, justice and impartiality,
and, whenever any Federal question
was involved, which reached the Su-
preme Court of the United States, he
has always been sustained by that
tribunal.

CLUTE HAS CLEAN RECORD
WITH ORGANIZED LABOR

There have been statements made
in Eureka that l am not in good
standing with mine unions.
During all of my mining experience
l have never had trouble with men
about wages. and at only one time
have l been in q mining district as a
labor employer during a general
strike. This was in 1907, at Bisbee,
Arizona. My position there is stated
in the following letter recently re-
ceived from Mark Page of Manhat-
tan, Nevada, n of the Page broth
ers, who were champion drillers of
that period:
Manhattan. Nevada, Oct. IL. 1922.
w. M. Clute,
Eureka, Nevada.
Dear Sir:-Yours of recent date re-
ceived, and / am pleased to hear of
our candidacy for State Senator. and
wish you success.
l was employed by you, also my
brother Lou, at the Bisbee Extension
mine, near Bisbee, Arizona, from
March to late in June. 1907. During
the Bisbee strike ! went to Bisbee,
and was informed by Union officials
there that the Bisbee Extension mine
was fair, and they had no cause for
calling the men out.
Lou and 1 drilled at Globe, Ari-
IONA, July 4, 1907, and then went to
Butte, Montana, and drilled at the
Miners Union picnic. given by Butte
Miners Union, No. l, and were reg
istered as a Union team from the Bis
bee Extension mine.
Hope this will assist you. and
again l wish you success.
Sincerely,
NJ. H. PAGE.
I have always believed that well
paid and contented men are n OF
the biggest factors in the satisfactory
and economical working of a mine,
or In any other business.
