Used to Miracles

We used to miracles, in these days, and we
hardly pay any attention to them any more.
Perfection of the televison apparatus, by which
man speaking over the telephone can see the face
of the man at the other end of the line, in dis
tant city, is one of the most amazing things that
modern science has done.
But we're used to it. 1t fails to excite In
a few years time the device may be in general use;
if it is, probably we will take it as matter Of
course and the phone company if the pictures
we see are the least bit blurred

" Says:
Men Must Feel the Power
of the Wind to Realize
What 1t Can Be Like

Those who have been through a
tornado can easily picture what has
happened at Rockstrings, Texas.
Those who have not will find it i'm.
possible.
Men must feel the power Of the
wind to realize what it can be like.
Straws driven into tree trunks,
babies picked up and carried for
a hundred yards without injury,
houses crumpled like paper boxes,
great tanks turned on their sides
and rolled across the prairie-such
freaks are incredible unless one has
seen them.
No wonder the old boys took ref
uge in superstition. or that people
of later and more enlightened ages
whispered of sin and an angry God.

MEDITATION: All through the

Subtle Coloring Used
in Chic Tone Effects

Midseason fashions may be said to
act as guide-posts to future NODES
Especially is this true of models de-
signed for the South, for as everyone
knows a fashion that establishes itself
at any one of the smart resorts Is pref
ty sure to have fairly long life. Ii
usually lasts through the summer
Simplicity, albeit 1t is simplicity of
a most sophisticated degree. is the
salient point of interest in these new
fashions. Colors are delightfully."- sub
tie. with much Importance attached
TO certain lighter tones of blue and
green as well as soft, fattering rose
tint. Much white will be worn in the
South this season as well as new beige
tones and an occasional shade of light
gray These latter colors with few
exceptions appear In two or three
toned effects.
Fine hemstitching and ladder work
as well as faggoting are forms of
needlework which contribute the ex-
quisite touch that distinguishes these
new frOcks. Both the one and the
two-piece models are shown and the
choice Is purely matter of individual
preference. Another decorative detail
is the use of complicated plaitings.

Black Attitude" Smart,
Says Fashion Writer

"The smart eccentricity of the pres
ent season is black, carried to its dis
NAL limit. 1t Is now being carried to
a so far unknown extremity. 1t pro-
duces an intensely dramatic effect.
which no amount of color can surpass.
BLACK hair, real or dyed, white
face, eyes visibly made up and scarlet
lips. are sticking with the black
gowns, perfectly plain and supermOd-
ern in cut, which many women seem
to wear morning, noon and night.
Eccentric black should always be
low in neck and short in skirt, ultra
fashionable in style and worn with
flesh hose and very high-heeled SAN
dals. Uncut emeralds. unrelieved by
diamonds, are especially effective on
dull black, while ropes of pearls are
entirely out of the picture.
mot to change ones style of dress
from one year to another is one of
the characteristics of black attitude.
Black crepe is worn in the morning
and black crepe in the evening; the
difference is imperceptible."
Baron de Meyer, who is associated
with the Paris bureau of Harper's
Bazaar, says the afternoon gown is
passing out in favor Of the sports
costume and is now hardly consid-
cred chic even in the afternoon. Sport
clothes are smart at all times-are
considered suitable for almost all oc-
caSiOnS: at tea for instance at the
Ritz"

Shaded Fringe Is
Favored in Paris
Diagonal Line Also Much in
Limelight and Makes a
Charming Gown.


Once upon a time 1t was a heart
breaking thing to belong to the
fringes of society. This, season no
society is complete without great
number of fringes All Paris is using
them and America is beginning To fol-
low suit. Vionnel. Chanel and Molly
neaux are among the creators who
are retiring to the cloistered recesses
where they dream great things. and
return with fringes developed in a
way lesser geniuses never thought of.
Who but Chanel would have evolved
shaded fringes? And how strikingly
beautiful they are! Two-toned and all
ombre effects are so well thought of
this season that printed fringes nat
urally follow the mode A stunning
dinner gown of valencia blue fiat

fringe, with a cleverly arranged scarf.
edged with fringe.
Scarfs, by the way, to achieve
smartness today must be related to
the costume. A scarf which Is mere
ly there because it Is there. is passe.
One model has a bertha collar Of
fringe across the front, with scarf
effect of fringe at the back.
Vionnet's masterpiece is a gown of
Grecian type, straight and slim and
very simple in effect. This Is the aim
of all smart houses-to give a slim,
simple silhouette and still be exceed

find shaded fringes, this time in rose,
used for tier after tier, narrower at
the top and some u inches deep at
the hem. Nothing else but fringes
compose these tiers You can easily
vision the shimmerng, slinky move
ments of the wearer.
4 The diagonal line is very good this
season. And this is where fringes are
at their best. Two tiers drawn dag
onolly across the skirt. with third
forming the bodice from one bare
shoulder to the hip, is recipe for
very up-to-the-minute and daringly
charming gown. If black is the color
chosen, the bracelets may be of emer-
aids, which are the reignng stone of
the season. And If enough bracelets
are used. no other color relief need
be had, although one such model has
slender line of green used as
girdle.
Very, very fine plaitings are being
used great deal this season. These
are frequently so closely done that
one must look twice to be sure they
are not fringes. Tiers either of plait-
ings or fringes are greatly favored.

fringes used even for sports costumes.

hint of stiffness or lack of freedom

One decidedly clever move, If we
are to have fringes for sports, is the
fashion of turning the edges under.
This not only stops fraying. which the
best Of fringes will indulge in. but it
gives weight which is invaluable in

Serviceable. STYLISH

Coats of suede cloth combined with
matching fur are extremely chic. A

Is covered so completely with mole fur
