One of the most jolly New Years

q clue to the identity of the indi-
vidualS, each person was requested
to recite this favorite New Year
poem: s'--

Ring happy bells across the snow;
The year is going, let him 60,
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
OAe person with Il black false
face recited it in negro dialect, one
with 4 little girls face lisped the
ines and one man who wore Il
lady face tried to rccitc it in
dcceiving falsetto tone. all of which
added to the fun,
After each guest had written his
guesses opposite the numbers on
tAe card gwen him at the begin
ming ef the contest, the face masks
were removed. but the one on the
back OF the head was left on.

Is the hustle obsolete? II is a question
that has never been solved, because nearly
every season some clever adaptation Of
the hustle appears. Paul Poiret suggests
the very modern version Of the hustle
which is sent herewith. 1t is in orange
velvet and has a tightly fitted bodice, en-
phasizing strikingly the new straight line
decollete. Then about the waist is
graceful fullness and a great bow Of cired
black satin, again reminding US of the

PARIS, December )
: T is fitting that all the pictures of L.
new Paris evening gowns sent herewit-
should be views of the back, for tn
season it is upon the back lines that tn
leading couturiers have been lavishin"
their ingenuity and skill. Never have
gowns for dinner, the opera and the dance
floor been so daring, so startling. Since
feminine backs and their very ornamental
possibilities have been discovered by the
designers, new boldness and freedom in
the art Of revealing Madame's charms has
been made possible.
One of the most striking models comes
from Anna. 1t is a rich vision of deep
red and gold. From one shoulder a drape
of FlorentIne red falls gracefully to the
waist and contrasts wildly with the gold
of the bodice. 1t is beautiful creation
for woman of high coloring and is one
of the most effective expressions Of the
seasons vogue.
Another advanced model is the creation
in gold weave lame, which comes from
Nine. Madeleine Vionnet. 1t was created
for Nine. Agnes, always the great expo
nent of the ultra-modern, and the inspra-
ton of the newest notes in many Of the
couturiers' models. The line in this gown
is achieved by modifying Nine. VIonnet's
favorite geometrical design. This novel
motif, with its suggestion of straight lines
and sharp angles, is derived from the
paintings of the cubistic artists. It brings
out the lines of slim figure in curl
ously alluring way.
Every season the old question arises -
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-12-13

quaint hustle worn by the lady of fashion
when the Gibson girl was the ideal of
feminine loveliness.
Sautors, light scarves or strings of
jewelry falling lightly over the back, have
been one of the outstanding features of
the season, and Anna has deity suggested
this effect in graceful beaded loops falling
over simple gown in silver lace. Such
a blending of the smartly-cut low back
line with the sautoir theme is what Paris
calls "the twin decolletes"
Poiret has always been partial to BIZ
zarre, "just different" effects. He it is
who so often provides the striking cos
tunes worn at Deauvlle and the Lido by
Paris's stage and screen favorites. His
suggestion of an evening gown with one
long, tightly fitted sleeve is typical of him.
Over slip in black satin he has draped
with seeming carelessness, but really with
a fine artistic SWIRL, beautiful black and
silver lame, and has extended this down
the arm to form one long sleeve, which
contrasts with an open decollete. He sug-
gests that a large fan of vivid orange
should be carried by Madame when this
very unusual costume is worn.

Wood Follows
Father in Quitting
American Wooden

Boston. Feb. 11-Cornelius A.
Wood son OF William NJ. Wood, who
retired on December 10 last, as the
president of the American Wooden
Co, announced his own resignation
today from the vice presidency of the
company. Beyond stating that he
had resigned so that he might carry
out other ambitions Mr.. Wood de-
clined to discuss his reasons Tor leav-
ing or his future plans.
Mr.. Wood said that his resignation
had been submitted to the board OF
directors on Jan. 81 but that as yet
the board had not acted. He an
nounced that he would remain as a
member OF the board Of directors OF
the corporation.
At the time of the retirement of
William NJ. Wood it was announced
that his son would continue with
the company, being moved from the
position of second vice president to
the first vice president. The elder
Wood, who was one of the founders
of the corporation and whose efforts
were in large part responsible for
it's present scope. gave as his reason
for resi9ning, i'll health, from which
he had been suffering for a consider
able period.
He was succeeded as president by
Andrew G. Pierce of New Bedford,
whose father years ago gave William
NJ. Wood. then the son of poor. immi-
grant parents. his start in business
when he employed him in his fac
tory office.
