This page was started last Saturday for the accommodation of local churches The idea is to line up the progressive churches of the community and so place their notices, new items and ad- vertising on one page, where it's value will be increased considerably.

She must be considerably over the
age she looks 10 be, which is about
forty; for. after all. she is q grand
mother and she doesn't deny il. Quite
the contrary. since she showed me

ters and the small son of one of them
They are my SWectheartS, she SAID
After luncheon we went with Mrs.
G1yn to her suite in the hotel and
there she read US a small pamphlet
which states the idea she had In mind
when she wrote Three Weeks. She
conceived il as "a spiritual tragedy

she has written herself and part of

Tiers and Flounces Give Variety
BY ANNE I,ITTENHOUsE.

In 1858 the Empress Eugenie ap-
peared at a bali in Par,s in dress
OF white satin trimmed with lo3 tulle
dounces. In this year of grace 1928
, an ambitious French drcssmahcr has
made a frock with 500 tiouncea. Nj
merically 1928 outdoes 1888. The
present-day high-water mark in
flounces is considerably higher than
il was in 1858; but there is this diff
ference. for which the drcssmakers
be praised: In 1853 not TO Wear
ilounces was TO he out OF style. That
year when the empress wore her
hundred and three tlouuces. tarlatan
frocks with twenty-five f1ounces were
quite usual. One could wear more
nounces when the frock was tarlatan
not quite so many with orSandy-
muslin. and with heavier materials
Fewer still Hence the popularity of
tarlatau.
These numerous f1ouuces did not
actually lead to the invention of the
sewing machine. but they did make
ii an industrial necessity. II women
lad continued throughout the century
10 wear the scant frocks of the di-
rectoire period there would have been
no such cause for tho immediate sue

skirts ten. yards round. four or five
petticoats and frocks befounced to
,the waist its success was achieved.
So much retrospectively.
The Straightforward flounce OF to-
day is undoubtedly a fashion develop
