Look Ahead!

Thousands and thousands OF boys
and girls throughout the country are
graduating from high school this
month. Even a larger number are
leaving the grades and entering high
school. And for all these boys and
girls the big question right now has TO
do with the future. They are wonder
ing what the next few years will
bring to them, for what work they
should prepare themselves, and what
they should do to be successful.
These boys and girls are being
showered with advice just now, so
much that most of 1t will be quickly
forgotten. But the most important
thing of all to remember is this: Work
for the future.
1t is so easy just barely to do things
or neglect them entirely because they
don't seem important now. But il you
think of the future-what each step
taken nov may mean to you later
you will do your best in everything.
Remember. then, to do that one
thing-work for the future. If you do
that, your work from day to day will
never be neglected.

to ornament a coat or frock without
the use of eXtraneous ornament, but
the sun-ray tuck is spoken of as some
thing new, and the clever use of it
characterizes many of the products of
the dressmakers' establishments this
season. One of the most usual modes
of using this device is to give decora-
ton to the side of the skirt at the
hips. at the same time disposing of the
fullness caused by an upward draping'
of the skirt at one side. There are
groups of sun-ray tucks at one Shout
der of some of the frocks, and some
times there are sun-ray tucks SYM
metrically arranged at the rounded
neckline of bodice.
Milliners still find opportunity for
the use of much ribbon, not only in
trimming and banding hats. but for
the entire construction of small hats.
You may find examples of these ribbon
hats at the ribbon counters as well as
in the millinery departments of some
of the shops. There are shaded rib
bons about an inch wide, sometimes a
little wider, that range from a deep
shade on one side to light shade on
the other, and these are used in cir
cular fashion over light canvas frames
to make little hats that are light and
wearable for less formal Summer occa-
siOnS.

T HERE is never a season when
white is so smart as when
colorS enjoy unusual popular
Il lty. Fashion has spread all
manner of pastel colors lavish
" about. No one can remember sea
son when colors were worn so lavishly
and it naturally follows that quite
frequently the smartest frock at an
evening gathering is made entirely of
white.
The all-white evening gown-en-
tirely or nearly untrimmed-is still
smart It may be of white satin,
georgette or taffeta. Then there are
more elaborate white frocks-usua!ly
of the period sort-deVeloped in taffeta
or organdie. Ruffied and TERED organ
die frocks trimmed with demure bows
and rosettes of white ribbon bring an
amusing note of id-Victorianism into
the present setting.
Setting aside material. color, orna-
ments, there really are but two sorts
of evening frocks at the present and
these are in striking contrast. There
are the full-skirted robes de style,
usually with closely draped bodices
and skirts that are long even when
their transparency reveals knee
length underslip. You may see these
developed in taffeta, organdie, net or
lace.
Other evening frocks might all be
grouped as those of the scant, stink
ing sort-usually fairly long as to
waist, short as to skirt, which hangs
in nearly perpendicular lines even
when as a matter of fact it is fairly
wide at the hem.

damage.
February 10, 1927, Pilot Allen flew
over Cheyenne-Salt Lake route in a
heavy fog with the record load of
maiI--856 pounds. All the way ne
could barely keep his head above the
fog and in the clear moonlight. But
the trip was made without incident.
January 1S, 1926, Pilot Albert Col
linson left Cheyenne on a clear, star
studded night and settled down for
the "long drag" across the Laramie
Basin. Suddenly his motor began to
skip and dropped to 1900 revolutions
per minute. Collinson tried to drop q
parachute fare by which he could
pick out a convenient landing spot.
but the device failed to work. He
had no time to repeat the experiment.
The ship was out Of control and fall

feet Collinson took parachute jump.
He hit the ground hard. His right
arm was dislocated and his body bad.
ly bruised. Coilinson started for the
nearest house, crawling through the
snow at first. He finally obtained
help and most Of the mail was saved.
April 8, 1927, Pilot r. J. johnson
left Omaha on a fine, clear night,
but before he had been out a half
hour, the fog arose and closed in
around him. He tried to ride under 1t
and came down to what he believed
to be the safe elevation of 200 feet
He was buffeted by a 4O-mile west
wind. But he was lower than he
thought. Without warning the plane
crashed into a cottonwood tree, hit
the ground, bounded across the road,
and nearly hit a farmhouse. Fortu-
nately, Johnson's belt broke and he
was thrown through the windshield
and clear of the ship. He was only
stunned.
On the same night Pilot r. L. Wag-
ner left North Platte, Nebr., and got
into a blind valley of Fox Canyon.
Suddenly the side wall of the canyon
loomed before him in the fog and the
plane crashed. He escaped with only
a few bruises.
THE airmen are not particularly
superstitious, but the reports call
attention to the peculiar coincidence
that on the night of these two crashes
a. strange, black kitten appeared mys-
teriously at the Omaha Field.
December 81, 1926, Pilot Biffie Of
the Omaha Field, in landing, found
himself dashing straight for three
tall cottonwoods. In his effort to RISE
his motor didn't take" Biffie then
dashed straight at one of the trees
in an effort to plunge through it,
He did so and landed safely, broken
branches sticking through the wings
and radiator.
September 26, 1925. Pilot Hopson
from the Omaha Field crashed in the
middle of an eight-foot Iowa cornfield.
He was pinned under the machine,
but, burrowed his way out and fired
his revolver for help. The farmer
finally found him in the jungle of
corn.
May -, 1925, Pilot LANCE, with the
twestbound mail, became caught in a
heavy fog. Seeing a beacon denoting
an eNsrSsncy landing field, he decided

Pleated skirts are still in favor for
Summer, and are chosen to wear with
warehouses or cardigans for sports
and informal wear. Many of them are
made of lightweight checked and
striped wooden materials. and are usu-
ally made without a hem, the line Of
the selvedge giving a suitable lower
edge of the skirt. Usually the pleats
are small, but so well pressed into the
material as to be very nearly perma-
nent-as permanent, at least as most
permanent hair waves. Sometimes
this pleated material is mounted on a
belt directly, but to avoid bulkiness
around the hips the best plan is to
mount the pleated material on yoke
some 5 or inches deep, of silk,
which is, of course, hidden beneath
the lower edge of the overbiouse or
cardigan. When the tuck-in blouse is
used, this yoke is not to be considered,
but the tuck-in blouse is best worn
with a skirt of a shaped sort, since
certain smoothness about the hips is
desirable.

the Cleveland field, but was unable to
make the turn. All the time he was
losing altitude and at last the plane
got out of control Williams jumped
and his parachute opened safely less
than 800 feet above the ground. !

Susquehanna River, underneathf the
fuselage, Ward got out of swhat

was able to salvage the most val
liable of the mail. Then he rode the
fuselage two hours until he was

On June II, 1926, Pilot Warren D.
Williams, flying from Cleveland to
Chicago, lost control of his plane,
which fell 500 feet into cleared woods.
The nose of the ship was torn away.
Williams was standing beside the ma
chine, guarding the mail, when help

Pilot Anderson. on November IA,
1925. was turned completely round
by a record high wind over the Blue
Ridge Mountains. He made another
attempt, however, and crossed safely.

Cleveland field was flying between
two layers of clouds when his motor
began to fail. He found himself over
the business district of Cleveland. He
tried to get away from the congested

parachute flare and follow it to the
ground. In landing he hit telephone

Lloyd Bertaud, one of the mail

the stories of narrow escapes during
the past two years. Once, caught In
a fog, he dropped flare which hit tho

was destroyed and the Government
paid $4,000 in settlement for the

A year ago last Christmas Bertaud
hit two layers of clouds and then ran
into a bad rainstorm. He was flying
blind at $500 feet, which would have
been a safe altitude if he could have
held it. But ice was forming continu-
tlly on the ship, forcing it down.
Finally Bertaud landed safely from
800 feet on an emergency landing field
whose outlines he could see very in
distinctly.

have the skirts longer. Most women
were telling themselves that they were
weary of short skirts. But it is al
ways difficult to work back to the nor
NAL from a daring fashion. The pen
dulum always swings more rapidly
when we are going the way of clothes
that are a little shocking. And by now
most of the women who started the
season with slightly heightened skirts
have gone back to short skirts again.
There has been little success for
those who tried to put sleeves back
into evening gowns. and perhaps we
had better wait until Winter to so on
with this work of providing more ade.
quate arm covering. Sleevelessness in
evening frocks is the rule.
One doesn't hear much concern over
extreme deco1lete in the Summer
clothes. Fashion leaves that to the
discretion Of the individual. There are
new evening frocks cut with rather

lower V.necks in back That is, per-
haps, the latest type of evening neck
line. Square and rounded necklines
seem to divide the honors after that.

You cannot dismiss the question of
skirt lengths for evening in one or
two words On the one hand we hear
from Paris that number of the lead
ing dressmakers are lengthening the
skirtline for evening gowns. The
feeling seems to be in the air that
longer skirts are coming and yet as an
actual fact skirts for evening frocks
are shorter than they were one or two
Of three months ago.
This reshortening of frocks seems
to be entirely out of the hands OF
the tlressmakers. There seemed to be
a feeling among most of the dress
makers late last Winter that women
who bought were ready for longer
skirts. In one French dressmaking
establishment the actual models shown
by the mannequins in the Spring were
short. The dressmaker knew that
these models would look dowdy if they
were long--but the word was passed
about that 1t was all mistake. There
had been definite orders to make the
frocks longer-the error had been dis.
covered too late-such accidents some.

which maintained the little party

Similar service has been rendered
by the mail pilots in Alaska. The
fact that the planes are available
has made life considerably less haz-
ardous during the Winter for the
isolated settlers in that Arctic posses

the French dressmakers are still using
