Chic Gowns Must Not Be
Too Short or Too Long

There is no use in denying it, wom-
on are wearing their gowns-that Is
their daytime ones-at a sensible
length, neither too long nor too short.
In fact, they have discovered that a
too.short skirt Is ugly and tOo-lOng
one uplier. with this knowledge In
mind. the individual woman Is now
allowed by Dame Fashion to choose
the lengt hof skirt most graceful and
becoming 10 her, provided It Is not
one sweeping the ground or display
ing her knees. "s
The evening gowns are long, trail
ing In graceful folds to the floor for
the older woman, and for the young
Girl are circular, touching all around.
There are some Of the best houses,
however, designing dance frocks for
the debutantes which are quite as
short as the daytime dresses.
OF course the capes. which will not
be dOwned In spite Of the attacks on
them, are being shown with circular

Shorter Skirts Among
Arrivals From Paris

Many of the skirts now being re-
ceived from Paris are very much
shorter than the length which Is at
present worn, writes n fashion CORE
spondent in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. This would seem to indicate
that by another season the seven or
eight-inch skirt will have given way
perceptibly to that of 10 or II inches
from the floor
Another new style note is the short
capllke puffed sleeves which adorn
many Of the French frocks. Neckllnes
high in the front and lower In the
back are another feature, while the
hustle or Renee bow set at the nor

desired bit Of contrast.
Muny of the smart French women
are wearing twO-plece suits In black
trimmed, perhaps. with ermine or
white rabbit, or accompanied by scarfs
Of white fox. A new line Is noted In
these suits, the jackets are close fit
ting with short faring skirts on the
order OF those worn with riding hab-
it's. The skirts are straight OF line to
the knee, from there to the hem they
stand out in a decided flare, the effect
beirg produced by inverted plaits set
at either side.
Girdles are of decided interest
Some are low about the hips, others
more nearly approach the normal
waistline. On some OF the youthful
dance frocks a gathered rufle or frill
headed by narrow metallic ribbon
is used. Rolled or 2uffed girdles are
good, while cabochons and Outstaud-
ing or fiat ribbon or fabric bows are
smart.

Valuable Road Material
Is Discovered in Texas

A new and valuable discovery of
road materials for Maverick county.

engineer, county officials announce.
Recently the engineer was conducting
an investigation Of materials with
which to construct a hard-surfaced
highway in the county. The result was
the discovery Of bed of petrified oys.
tiers covering several acres of land.
The material is proving superior to
any yet found in that section, the en-
gineer reports. After being placed In
position and rolled, the shells cement
into hard, smooth layer, it Is stated.
The bed is attracting attention In
that it was discovered at a point ap-
proximately 700 feet above sea level.
Groupings of oyster shells have been
found in other parts OF the county
also. Authorities declare this is proof
that this section was at one time a
part Of the sea and that the land was,
probably, thrown up In some prehis-
toric period.

Motor Vehicles Must Be
Adapted to Old Roads

Sweden, considering the motorizlng
Of its highway traffic, declares that the
general establishment Of regular auto
mobile passenger and truck service
cannot walt for the construction Of
new roads and the rebuilding of old
ones, but that the motor vehicles must
be adapted to the roads.
The roads are to be divided into four
classes, according to the weights
which they are able TO sustain. Trail
ers, rather than additional motor
trucks, are to be used wherever the
traffic is recommended for winter use
in northern Sweden. This car Is to
have sleigh runners instead Of front
wheels, and will be equipped with spe-
cial drive wheels and gear
For the financing Of this new service
yearly subsidies have been proposed,
as well as a government loan fund

Winter Fashjons

One Of the most lnviolable rules
fashion has laid down this winter Is
that II the fabric is strlklngly beauti-
ful In cOloring or design, the frock
must be extremely simple in line and
devoid OF ornamentation, says a fash
ion writer. The beauty Of the frock
must be its own excuse for being. On
the other hand. when palmer paterials
are employed, they form the back
ground for elaborate patterns In en-
brOldery or beaded handwork.
