the collection Of Chanel this decorative
note is unusually significant. Almost
every evening gown has its accom-

short, stubby scarf to the long and
flowing type. Only in a few instances
does 1t form an lnseparabIe part Of the
dress. An evening gown of black lace
with round decolletage shows the scarf
drawn across the front and attached
at each shoulder, while the ends are
to hang freely. A cluster of
pink roses Is placed on either shoulder
where the scarf is attached.

The sports costume has attained a
position of primary Importance In the

character of the materials. Particu-

PARIS Passes On
Mode for Spring


ATter years OF scarcely perceptible
changes last season brought about q
radical modification In the outline Of
dress. The two parallel lines which
constitute the feminine silhouette
broadened slightly toward the bottom
to form the shaped skirt. The same
contour characterizes the spring mode,
even simmer than before and distinct
~ shorter. and It is only In the details
NJ the costume that any appreciable
departure from the previous season
can be noted, asserts a Paris fashion
writer In the New York Tribune. The
Patou models are an exemplificatiOn
OF the artistry of the designer. diversi-
flying the unchanged line with an adept
manipulation of flounce. plat and
panel
Skirts have been decidedly short
ened-their average length varies
from ten to twelve inches above the
ground. In combination with the SIM
pie line Of the skirt these short lengths
endow the wearer with the appearance
Of a sixteen-year-old girl-at least
when viewed from the back.
In the PatOu spring collection are
three basic keynotes. First, there Is
the shaped iounce. which preserves
its preponderant role in the formal
evening gown-it becomes more COM
plicated, 1t tapers 1t undulates-but it
remains the outstanding feature of this
type of dress.
Plaits In Limeliaht.
Second, and of greatest Importance,
are plaits The plated dress in all
its forms is a distinct manifestation
of the season and finds varied express
sion in the tailor-made costume, the
summer frock and in dresses for the
seaside and spa. Patou has placed
marked emphasis upon novel plaitings
and they are. used in numberless ways
on frocks, .cloaks and jackets, even for
Innings.
The amalgamation Of the plated
form with the shaped form will In all
probability lead to a return to the
fashions of the 1S87-'90 period. But
Ties elegantes" may be treasured; they
will not be transformed into modern
de Maupassant heroines, for the return
TO the sos will be highly mOdernized.
The shaped founce will diminish in
size, but in order to give 1t volume II
will be plated. On long. simple tunics

tomorrow.

Notes of Interest to
All Women Who Care

Not the least effective of the Paris
milliner's ideas is that OF extending
the hat trimming in a ribbon across
the throat and trimming the ribbon
with little rosebuds.
Cherry Is one Of the vivid shades be-
ing used, fortunately with discretion,
this spring. Upon costumes of black
and white, a touch of cherry en-
broidery is immensely effective.

Postal Salaries
Being Urged

c. =. Franciscus, president of the
United National Association of Post
Office Clerks. has sent a letter to
the members of the organizations,
calling attention to the status of the
work for increasing the pay of men
in the post office service of the Unit
ed States.
The Postal Salary Bill. he reminds
them is now pending as the unfipsh-
ed business of the Senate and the
resolution unanimously adopted at
the convention in Minneapolis makes
enactment into law of this bill the
paramount issue of the association
until 1t is satisfactorily disposed of.
The convention also adopted a reso-
luton proposing to amend the retire.
ment act so that it will provide n
30-year optional retirement with in
creased annuities to $1,000. This bill
is pending in the House and has the
privileged status of being the second
proposal for which application has
been filed before the Rules Commit
tee for a special rule.
Mr.. Franciscus says that it is con-
fidently expected that this special
rule will be granted early IN the sea-
son and that the bill will pass be-
fore the holidays.
In regard to the salary bill, Mr.
Franciscus points out that now is the

The annual meeting of the Cecilia
CLUB was held Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock in the Y. NJ. c. A.
library. The election of officers
brought the following nominations
and elections:
President, Miss Caroline F. Chase:
Vice President. Mrs. r. II! Bodwell:
Secretary. Mrs. Lester Howard;
Assistant Secretary. Mrs. Samuel
Tobey: Treasurer. Mrs. o. c. S.
Davies. Executive Committee, the
above officers and Mrs. Guy p. Can
nett, Miss Lucy Titcomb, Miss
Marguerite Brooks. Mrs. Robert
Partridge.
The clubs meetings will be held
as formerly on Wednesday morn
ings, with the exception of one even
ing concert, open to the public. at
which the club expects to present
two artists standing high in their
professions. The morning artists
recitals will also include some
musicians whose work is receiving
national recognition. The last meet
which time the young musicians
viii be heard.
The first meeting OF the year will
be on Wednesday Dec. 10. and will
have the program given by the
active members including the chorus.
This chorus will be under the
the direction Of Prof E. H. Wass of
Bowdoin college.
The Cecilia Club is the one
musical organization which seems to
have succeeded in being a perma-
nent one in Augusta and its success
depends upon the cooperation of
the musicians among the women of
the city and the associate members
drawn from the women who are no
less interested in music, but who
prefer to listen.
A cordial invitation Is extended
to any interested woman to COM
municate with the President or any
member of the executive committee,
any one of whom will be glad to
give full information about the
membership rules.
1t Is hoped many will feel DESTROYS
to identify themselves with the club
and assist in the carrying the work
forward at the usual high standard.

Conquer Home Town
Before New York

In a discussion entitled How Can
/ Help My Boy Get Started" Bruce
Barton gives sane counsel to the
youth who thinks he can do better
in New York City than in his own
town. In his article. in Good House
Keeping, the writer tells for the
benefit of young men his experience
with a lad he met in another city
who felt himself called tc the metrop
oils.
1T must be great to live in New
York and meet so many interesting
people, the boy said to him. DO
you think l ought to 90 to New
York;"
No" l answered.
His face fell. WHY not ?"
Because New York is full of
chaps like you who have never done
anything, and for the most part they
lead very lonesome lives. You don t
suppose these so-called Interesting
people would have any interest in
you. do you? Interesting people like
interesting people. Success has no
time for failures"
