Prof. Edward S. Meany of the
University of Washington gave
a scholarly and interesting histor-
ical address concerning the early
exploration period Of this section
Of America. Everyone was de-
lighted with Prof. Meany's ora
ton. Capt. McClinton of Cove
followed with a brief but to the
point talk on the present outlook
Of Vashon island.
An automobile tour was then
announced which led to the new
ly completed Dockton road. We
understand this part Of the day
was rather like the tragedy of
Hamlet with Hamlet missing, as
it appears the Dockton folks were
not apprised Of the arrangements,
and were disappointed in not be,
ing privileged in showing their
usual hospitality. Such is to be
regretted. Commissioner Frank
Paul made a talk concerning the
Dockton road and outlined what
his road program was, and brief
ly what it is to be in the future,
There is nc better grayeled high
way in the Puget Sound country
than the Dockton highway, and
there isn't a more generous, hos.
pitable, and loyal community on
earth than the folks who reside
at the south end of this road.
Free coffee was served every.
one and such men as W. Coy
Meredith and a bunch of other
loyal workers who gave unstimt-

credit for giving outsiders such
a favorable impression Of the is.

was a day Of wholesome advertis-

Simplicity Feature of
Dainty Evening Frocks

Evening gowns are, for the most
part, Of simple styling, in contrast to
the sumptuous models that character
lied fall fashions. For the "jeune
file" are few taffeta dresses, one
with pointed tiers set below the hips
and another from Lucille in pink,
trimmed with blue moire ribbon. Less
formal is a quaint plaid taffeta in
green and orchid colorings, with full
tiers piped in orchid and an orchid
ribbon tie in back.
OF more mature conception are the
simple evening gowns of soft crepe
fabrics on which touch of beading
in rninestones, pearls or paillettes Is
used to suggest low waist, or to
mark occasional motifs These are in
bright colors of rose and yellow, and
in white, and there is a tendency to
relieve straight lines with floating
draperies that extend from a hardly
perceptible side drape or from the
shoulders. Rather low cut decolletages
appear in either rounded or V-shaped
effects.

and monkeys and many, many other
animals.
There were giraffes. There were
beautiful ladies riding in handsome
chariots and upon lovely ponies.
There were many, many clowns.
There was the band, and in front of
all was the drum major very handsome
ly dressed and performing in splen-

AS they approached Dexter they
bowed. Even the animals bowed
Greetings, our best circus greet
ings, Dexter" they said
Then they went into the field, with
Dexter running along beside them.
First he went along by the members
of the band, then by the animals then
by the clowns, then back to the band,
then by the ladies'
They were all so wonderful.
Were going to give you a private
show" they said. 1--WE are going to
have a whole, three-ringed show, just
for you"
SO Dexter sat now at one end of the
field and all the clowns and animals
and horseback riders and trapeze per-
formers set to work to fix everything
right and then performed their tricks.
They bowed before Dexter and he
clapped and clapped. Oh, it was so
wonderful having circus just for HIM
self alone.
Yet, he did keep thinking how he
wished his different friends could be
with him They would have enjoyed it
so mucL!

all the time, all the time until just as
the show was about to end the band
seemed to be blowing whistles-then
one whistle, one great long whistle!
Dexter found himself sitting up in
bed He had been dreaming. Now he
was listening to the whistle of the cir
Gus train and it was early in the morn
ing.
The circus was to be that afternoon,
the parade that morning
Dexter hurriedly got dressed
Then he rushed up to the railway
station. There was the circus train.
They were unloading
And every one would be seeing the
circus in the afternoon. He had loved
his private dream circus, but he was
glad, after all, that the real circus,
which was to be bigger and better than
ever, would be for every one!

Stout Woman Must Use Care in Lines of buds

The thin woman has not such big
problem with her clothes as her stout
sister, but she cannot, nevertheless, be
careless. Since the straight silhouette
still leads the fashion, she can be mod
lsh without much effort. Her chief
consideration is that if she be ex-
tremely tall, her height should be off
set somewhat by broken lines. Her
skirt and blouse, therefore, preferably
are not the same color. Her skirt may
be plated or not, as she prefers
But, as always, it is the short, stout
woman who must take thought for her
skirts, for her blOuses. and for every
garment she wears, for each plays
some part either in detracting from
her figure or in aiding it to conform
to modish lines.
In a general way; plated skirt
may not be unbecoming to a short,
stout figure, because plaits make for
excellent straight lines. The only
trouble is that plaits have way of
becoming undisciplined and broaden
ing out in a most unwelcome manner.
Z you are stout and must have q

rial that is not so soft and elastic that
it soon loses its long slim lines. 1t
goes without saying that if the mate
rial is striped, the stripes should run
up and down and not around
Any skirt bands or trimmings should

stout woman. Buttons or trimmings of
any sort, placed in square, diamond or
triangular designs, lend an impression
Of thickness to the figure.
A wisely selected skirt can have a
quite beneficial effect on prominent
hips. 1t must not be short-waisted,
giving the hips an opportunity TO pro-
trude below the waist, but long-waist-
ed with the waist beginning as near
as possible to the hips. thus softening
the hipline. A skirt with a fitted yoke
is tragedy for the large-hipped fig
ure.
The materials chosen by the stout
woman should be given much thought.
Unusually stiff fabrics, and materials
with large conspicuous patterns never
should be selected by this type.

DEXTER AND CIRCUS

If you asked little Dexter what he
loved above everything in the world
he would say: THE circus"
If you asked him why, he would say
Because every year it is bigger and
better than ever"
To be sure that was what the bill
posters said before the circus came
and it was what every one said. every
time, about the circus after they had
seen it.
There was something about Dexter
that there is about every One-a real
love of the circus.
Dexter, maybe, loves it more than
anyone though when l think about it
am sure there are just hundreds and
hundreds of people-big, small and in
between peOple-who will say:
He doesn't love it any more than
DO"
Now, one night Dexter had a dream
and as it was one of the loveliest
dreams ever lad had, and as Dex-
ter loves to share with others. you

SHORT JACKET IS
OFFERED BY PARIS
French Dressmakers Are Not
Exploiting Ensembles
With Long Coats.

surprising comment, heard in some
quarters from stylists returning from
abroad, is that paris dressmakerS
are not exploiting ensembles with long
Jackets, but are really showing short
Jackets for spring" They further state
that the long jacket is supported by
American manufacturers based on the
fall success of the style.
why call it a suit?" the question
arises. It is either a costume or an
ensemble, but too far removed from
our conception of a suit to continue
the use of the name. Many are in
favor of eradicating a name that will
blot out all memories of the dark days
when valiant efforts to revive suits
In two-piece development were rife.
The reference to two-piece suits as
a memory is almost literally true. A
great many designers whose reputa-
uons were built upon their prOduc-
ton of this type of garment have
entirely eliminated it. A few do them
just TO be accommodating for a pos
Slble call, but no Importance Is at
tached to them. OF the few examples
shown, the very long jacket is the
prevailing style.
Speaking about the presence of one
or two models in collection calls to
mind the fact that nearly every cos
tune collection includes at least one
coat formed on f1ared, slightly nodded
lines that suggest redingote formation.
The fact it so frequently is included
makes it well worth watching.
Monkey fur is being accorded a
comeback" this season. It's vogue
is result of the rage for long haired
furs, with the additional virtue for
spring that it is not a warm fur. Its
effectiveness is especially marked on
black silk wraps and costumes.
The loosely fitted lining that is al
lowed to escape beyond the front and
lower edges, sometimes forming a
jabOt effect, is one of the nonchalant
style effects that must be handled
carefully to be successful. On the
other hand. it may be saving grace
where Innings that do not always "fit"
are found.
Chanels double coat, or vest coat,
as 1t was called at its introduction
last summer, is not entirely forgotten
as its lack of response in the fall

might indicate. 1t is still retained. as
an occasional idea, by exclusive de-
signers.
Whether Stimulating tunic styles or
otherwise, the best liked type of dress
for wear with the ensemble is of one
piece formation.
The costume suit Is established for
some time and next fall will find them
more generally worn than ever.

Roses of Silk Muslin

A most unusual evening gown has a
deep gathered f1ounce bordered with
roses ard silk muslin. A single rose is
placed ON the right shoulder and an
other on the left hip. This model is
clearly inspired by the prevailing Span
iSh influence.
