odd Sal" Himself

in a hammock on his front porch.
The man we picked for this part is
George Bancroft. who has had a naval
career all his own. He is one of the
only two enlisted men ever sent to An
napolis. He sailed with ACmiral
Dewey and took part in the battle of
Manila Bay. During the war of the
Philippines, when Lawton was lost,
Bancroft was part of the searching
party which went out after him.
Bancroft actually sailed on the old
Constellation. 1t was this ship, sis
ter ship of the Constitution, on which
he first lay aloft. One can imagine
how genuinely interested Bancroft
was during the filming of the picture.
He was so anxious to get his hands
on a piece of rope again that he spent
weeks in the shipyard while they were
remodeling the old frigate, and did no
small amount of work himself

Senator's Wife Scores Capital
Women for Bad Taste In Dress
Mrs. William E. Borah
Comments on Fashions
in Current Magazine
Bv JEAN Eliot

egmTASHINGToN seems to make
" its own sartorial laws, for the
wearing Of the wrong type of clothes
at the wrong time seems to be g
part Of the life here"
This rather startling statement Is
made by no less parsonage than
Mrs. William e. Borah, wife Of the
Senator from Idaho, in an article
signed by her name in the current
issue of a famous fashion magazine.
She not only devotes some space
TO viewing with alarm" Washing
toms alleged tendency to overdress,
but she also points with pride" to
what she considers an appropriate
wardrobe for a woman In official
life. Her suggestions are simple
enough-two or three good looking
sports froclSs, two or three after
noon dresses and about three eve.
ming gowns. Not beyond the reach
OF anybody and entirely adequate
IL they are chosen with taste and
worn with discrimination.
It is this discrimination which
Mrs. Borah accuses Neutrality-suspicious.
of Lacking. She comments upon ths
habit Of wearing dressy afternoon
frocks for morning and of DOMINIC
evening gowns in the afternoon.
And she tells of attending one tea
at which she was the only guest in
afternoon dress, all the others wear.
Ing out and out evening gowns. 4
The obvious retort to such stric-
lures is that Mrs. Borah probably
doesn't go places where she meets
the fright people" That, of course.
isn't true. for she is invited every
where. But it would seem that
probably her closest contacts ere
with the women of the Congress
sional contingent who, as a. group.
are not noted for being conspicIi.
ously well dressed. And somehow
| can't quite imagine any entire
group Of women at the tea hour
In evening dress!
It Is true that the custom per-
sists of women who are assisting
the hostess at an afternoon recep.
ton DOMINIC something which close.
Iy approaches evening dress-al.
though the smartest women agree
that this isn't in the best of taste.
And at debutante teas one finds
the girls Of the receiving party''
IN ball gowns-because, I suppose.
they usually stay on for some sort
OF an evening party afterward.
But on the whole, it seems to me.
there Is much less dressing up" now
than there has ever been and I
could cite scores of instances Of
women who show the utmost dis.
tinction in their dress, to one who
displays bad taste.
