Formal Blouses for Street and Home Interest American

suits in the afternoon, eyen to places
of gayety, when by, removing the
Jacket WE display the kind Of over
hlpuse that aide the skirt in 'hecem-
Ing y costume. This fashion fs an
-economteal one. IT. saves us the ex-
.pense of a suit for the street plus a
froek for npder- the-roof occasions.
Also 1t saves US from being exhaust
ed hy the heat Of our .hoYses. The
Europeans are not troubled in this
respect. -
The formal blouse continues to
match the skirt; that ISL it-ts well
chosen. Crepe de chine is the FREE
quent choice. Gold embroidery done
with sequins, gold gallool arranged
in narrow bands-and not too many
of them-small, fiat embroidery In
the -Peking stitch done in oriental
applying tiny pieces of colored cloth
or velvet to the surface with metallic
threads are methods of ornamentation
that are approved.
Indian printed silks, soft and plas-
tic, are offered as the best blouse
materials for those who need variety.
Such biouses are simply made. some-
times with short sleeves, the Kind We
thought had been obliterated from
fashion. but WHICH go serenely on
their pleasant and comfortable way.
Lang sleeves have turnover cuffs with
link buttons when the blouse Is for
strict street wear or for sports. One
of the. new tricks, on the sleeves of
formal blouses Is to adopt the hand
kerchief idea by twisting narrow
scarf OF THE fabric around the wrist
and tying It into two handkerchief
ends. This fashion originated with
Vionnet of Paris this autumn and is
not generally known.
The Lanvin overblouse Of pliabla
silver cloth goes on its path undis-
broidered motif in front, and Is as
simple as a baby's slip, despite its
cost. 1t is a bit harsh, however. Not
every woman can look in the mirror
approvingly when metal cloth covers
her figure.
THE newly developed bodices In slim
lines and small armhoiss call for
brassieres on many figures that have
not needed them before. What women
amusingly call "their extra tires"
meaning the thick rolls of flesh pushed
above the waist by the tight elastic
girdles which take the place of eorsets
cannot be left to hang az they will
under the bodices that hug the body.
New brassieres, specially made for
these emergencies. are fitted over the
waistline of corset with insets Of
elastic and slight boneA and garters
also to keep 1t down. The result is that
women are more haFnessed and COM
pressed than when they wore regular
corSets.
Sturdy fabrics such as hroadcloth
and velvet have come into their own
again for olouses. They are worn with
tailored suits by those who dread the
cold; they are placed under day coats
and above separate skirts by those who

generation. What boasters and weak
lings we are. Merely change Of wind
in fashion blowing across the Atlantic
ocean. and we declare we like what it
brings.
Frocks, wraps, overblouses, each
carry the high collar, usually fur-faced
or fur-edged. The former plan is bet
ter, for no one intends to keep the
collar over the neck when under the
roof. When 1t is f1ared backward and
downward II looks immensely well
when built of peltry. Soft fur is used
for such facing. The kind that might

none Of the furriers tell. 1t usually
goes by the name of summer errnine,
which, of course, IL is not. Russia is
not sending US much of her empirical
peltry these days. Little animals which
thought they were safe from women's
vanity now masquerade under splendid

Wraps carry enormous collars of fur
to match the cuffs used as muffs.

1t began by my asking to know in
a nutshell how the new nation Of
Czechoslovakia was born. Said DR.,
Benes:
The birth Of this republic was un-
like that of any in history, II took
place far away outside its boundaries,
and three great countries had q part
in its conception. One was the United
States. where In your capital, WASH
ington, DR.. Masaryk wrote the de-
claration Of Independence and pre-
pared the constitution. Another was
Siberia where Gen, 6tefanek was
acting as tho head of an army Of
Czechs and the third was France.

what I could to persuade the allied
powers to recognise the republic. 90

put her on her feet. We shall be able

We have the somewhat doubtful ad-
vantage of a currency like that of

close OF the war our money and that
Of Germany were near a parity. Now
the Czech crown Is worth several
thousand marks. Similar differences
exist as to the currencies of Austria,
Hungary. Poland and the lands Of the
Balkans"
What are your relations with the
United Statesf"
They are of the most friendly ma
ture. There are q million or SO
Czechoslovakians in the United States
and they are personally interested in
US. Our president, DR. Masaryk, mar
ried an American woman. and during
his many visits to your country he
acquired warm sympatahy for

people. We feel that you have been

We have borrowed money Of you,

This can only be brought about by a

"YOU ARE GUILTY"

The sacrifice of one man foi
another is the theme of the picture
playing at the Rylander theater ON
Wednesday. 1t is called "You Are
Guilty" and features such we'll
known players as James Kirkwood,
Doris Kenyon, Mary Carr and Rob
ert Edeson.
James Kirkwood assumes the
tie guilt OF his adopted brGher
for the sake of the latter's mother.
Kirkwood departs from his home
with the understanding that his
brother will confess at the end OF
years time SO that he may re-
turn an innocent man. The years
pass and many strange and intense
ly interesting events happen, with a
climax that is most unusual.
Today the Rylander is showing
Fred Niblo's production of the
famous stage play, Captain Apple

the title of Strangers of the

In addition to "You Are Guilty"

SHORT COTTON CROP
SENDS KIDS TO SCHOOL

oCHLoCHNEE, Ca, Oct. p
Practically all the rural schools Of
Thomas county are in session now,
a few not having opened till this
morning, however. 1t is understood
that there is an unusually large at
tendance this term, which is probab-
ly due to the fact that few children
are being detained at home IN ac-
count of picking cotton and other
farm labor. So one advantag. at
least has been realized from the
shortage of crops.
