The Black Dress
Old Favorite Is to Be Popular
Again This Spring.
Change in silhouette Is Conferred in
the sleeve-FrankIy Quaint
in Effect.

The variety of type expressions
slated for spring wear. appears to be
infinitely greater than the lists of past
seasons, writes a fashion correspon-
dent. The supremacy of the black
dress, regulated altogether upon the
slim outlines that become the nat
ural outcome of the fiat, slinky crepes,
was the chief reason for this stead
fast and answering feeling. And to
analyZe the cause even one step
further, the absolutism of black as
the reigning color also fostered GER
tain kind Of dress expression.
1t is not to be expected that, even
waning one, that it will die alto
gether. 1t is intrenched too firmly as
a mode-a type that every woman
feels is one of the indispensables in
her wardrobe. A black crepe dress,
fashioned in the straight and panel
relieved contour will hold its own in
the fashion program for spring.
A newer idea that has sprung up,
following hand in hand with the
newer fabric presentations, is the
dress that assumes linesS and effects
that are frankly quaint. This is far
cry from the tone of sophistication
that underlies the long, slim black
crepe frock. Even were one to have
reviewed only the collections Of the
new spring fabrics, either in silk or
wooden, the character of the prints
and patterns which predominant i'm
mediately suggest the policy that will
mark the new frocks.
The dress proper appears to have

The line will be the question. The
problem is to give the figure more full
ness without changing the youthful
and agreeable silhouette Of the last
years. The most fashionable fabrics
of 1923 will be printed tissues, crepe

and satins of all colors.

Agriculture in Guam.

Ten years work by the federal ag-
ricultural experiment station in Guam
on adaptation of temperate zone vege-
tables to the soil and climate there has
resulted in the introduction of varie-
ties Of many vegetables into the gar
dens of natives of Guam. Previously
TO this very few garden vegetables
were grown. Beans, carrots, corn, GU
cumbers, eggplant, mustard, okra,
peppers, radishes, pumpkins and wa
termelons are. reported to the United
States Department Of Agriculture as
being among those best adapted to
conditions on that island.

an old-fashioned practitioner, they will
remember wildly, doubtless, the liberal
drenchings of connections that were
the sum of all nastiness. In those days
there was no namby-pamby camoufage
of the real stuff with saccharine
vehicles. There was the direct contact
with the "crude drug" Nowadays leaf

Oriental GlrdIes.

The oriental effect is extremely
modish for girdles, as it lends the Rus
sian or Chinese note so popular just
now. Beads, wooden or glass. painted
metal or buttons and tassels will give
distinction to such an ornament. Con-
trast with the garment or colors that
match it is suggested. And even the
clever designs used in pendant ear
rings are appropriate to copy.
