 Clash With Nationals

The Lyrics of Hartford, last year tho we'll known Y. NJ. H. A. and for time contender for state honors, will come to the state armory to. nights as the guests of the National Guard five and endeavor to lower their colors for the first time this season. Fresh from their one point victory over the West Sides, the b. calls will take the floor confident but not too much so. They know, from the caiibre of the, men they are play ing, that they must step from whistle to whistle in order to win. Dick Dillon will referee and the game starts at 9:15 p. m.
 Malcolm of Holyoke, one of the Bay States fastest forwards, will be at right forward, paired off with Gordon. This last named player. while little known hereabonts, must be something of a player for he cap- tained the Harvard varsity five on which he played for three seasons. Sammy Pite, the fashy Yale player and a member of the Eli champions two years ago, will be the tap-off man against Restell. Pite played here with the Y. M. II. A. year ago and his work was clever.
 Cohen and Fedman, old timers with the I. NJ. H. A. will hold down the guard positions. with Baron as relief man.

necessarily richer in cream than the

- there have been fashions o.

mind with Lord Bacon-thai
there is no exquisite beauty
without some strangensss In the pro
portion
At certain epochs OF fashion history
the prevailing notions OF beauty seen
to demand more decided strangeness
in proportions, and It is then that
fashions seem to lose in beauty and
gain in grotesqueness.
Possibly at present we are expert
encing desire for Increasing strange
ness following the several years when
there really has been so very little
strange or distorted about women's
fashions. Well dressed women every
where are showing the tendency felt
so strongly on the stage at the pres
ent time in favor of silhouette that
exaggerate breadth of hips, thereby
emphasizing slenderness and curve of
the waistline. In short, whether we
will or no. no matter how loyal our
own devotion may be TO the silhou-
stee which is straight and narrow,
tho fact remains that bouffancy is
abroad in the land. and that wherever
you SEQ bridesmaids or young girls in
party frocks you will also see skirts
as emphatically bouffant as though
they had been worn by the Pompa-
eoGr nerseif
Here is a situation very interesting,
possibly unprecedented in the history
OF costumery-two distinct silhou-
cites Of woman's clothes going along
side by side, neither one interfering
with the success of the other. In any
group Of women in smart evening or
formal afternoon clothes you will see
the straight, scant, scabbard-shaped
contour, and side by side with it the
skirt that flares as much as an in
verted hollyhock or morning glory.
1t is as If during the Elizabethan
period. when the enormous fardin-
gales were in fashion, there had also
been frocks as straight and droopins
S those Of the Moyen Age.
What the outcome OF these two
parallel fashion tendencies will be is
hard to predict. Who can tell whether
within a few seasons we shall have
witnessed the complete passing of the
pencil silhouette in favor OF the wide
skirted contour, or whether we shall
all have adopted some new phase of
the straightline silhouette, and the
bouffancy seen at the present time
will seem to have been only flash in
the pan of fashion?
