Of the Comptroller of the Treasury.
A number of corporations, prob

known as national agricultural

The method of organizing these

The work of administering that

All Of our attorneys and organi-

Designers Show Wide Differ,
ences, and Some Try
Neutrality.
BY ALICE LANGELIER,
COSMOPOLITAN News Service.

PARIS, March 8.-The battle OF
the waist-line threatens to become
as important and lengthy as was
the war of the long and the short
skirt.
It was whispered early in the
winter that spring models would
bring the waist-line back to normal.
But some of the designers are run
ming the whole gamut of belt-linee
and one is almost at loss to know
what is really chic.
Some Lack Waist-Iine.
Some gowns show no waist-line
at all. Others have it at the hip
point and many dresses maintain a
perfect neutrality by beginning with
high waist-line in center front
and gradually sliding down to a
Iow one 3 the rear.
Premet makes a stunning little
bouffant Nock of white taffeta with
a waist-lilAA that drops from normal
in front to the hip-line in the back.

junction Of the waist and skirt is
marked by line of open work
which shows a blue satin slip be-
meath.
He is making other interesting
compromises between the normal
waist-line and the low. One goHn
is without any demarcation in the
back and fits smoothly over the
hips. The front half of the dress
has an upward curved girdle OF
Roman striped material which runs
through the Sits in the tissue OF
the gown. A ''two-belt" gown fits
the hips snugly. One belt is low
down and the other four inches high.

Makes Straight Gowns.
Lanvin, who has taken most OF
her inspiration from the Second EN-
pire, makes perfectly straight gowns
with the waist line exceptionally
long and bodice very full and loose
blousing over the belt which Is
almost below the hip-ltne.
Jenny uses a spiral puttee in heI
belts which is about the same idea
as the life saver" of last season
Some times she puts the fat roll
about the hips under overskirts OF
a short flounce. One model has
spiral of nutria beginning from the
shoulders in back and has a rec
demi-belt Of braided leather.

The rate to be ordered, it is

1872 cents per hundred, but the
