This is the real inside story of
the toidely-discussed companion

mdn-Julius and events leading up
to the exposure Of the hod1 of
her origin. Written By girl

The cloud which Haldeman-

exposes the fact that she is not

NEW YORK, Dec. Tt was
a drowsy summer day in the
drowsy, little town of Girard,
Kan. A horse kicked up little
clouds of dust as he trotted
lazily along the main avenue,
tugging an old-fAshioned sur
rey.
Marcel Haldeman-,Julius sat
in the surrey. Her little
daughter, at her side, looked
with a bored air at the windows
of the old county Jail, until
she saw a little face, with
flattened nose, pressed against
a grimy window pane.
Terror Stricken Eyes
"Look, mother" she said.
Marcel Haldeman-Julius looked.
She saw two terror-stricken eyes
peering through the dirty glass. 1t
was a most important incident in
the life of the child.
She was to leave the dirty win
dows and become, years later, the
bride in the first companionate
marriage, to be arranged by the
woman who rode in the surrey.

Evening Styles Styles
For the Summer
BY HEDDA HOYT
Omitted Press Fashion Editor)

NEW YORK, June %. The
straightined sheath gown is de
cidedly out of the picture at smart
evening functions. Nearly every
gown is slightly bloused with a full
skirt and belted waist-line. The
waist-line is usually placed at the
top of the hips although some of
the slender girls wear normal waist
ed frocks.
More white evening gowns are
seen at present than any other sim
gle color. Light gray and nude
toned crepe satin gowns without or
uamentation other than fabric
draperv or bows are among the
newest types for evening Wear. One
finds the sophisticated matron of
fashion choosing these crepe satins
in preference to chiffon, georgette
or beaded gowns.
Silver slippers of kid or brocade
lead above all others for summer
evening occasions. SatinS in tones
20 match the frocks are also worn.
Hosiery remains pale fleshtoned.
Square or N-necked evening
gowns are smarter this year than
rounded necks. The extremely low
UShaped rear decolletage is seen
quite often but since skirts are
short this neckline has a tendency
to make one 5 figure appear bit
out of proportion. Therefore high
er C-shaped are advised for the rear
If ones decolletage.
With the period gown, the chok-
er of pale rose-quartz, amethyst,
coral or crystal is preferable to
longer strands of pearls. And,
while mentioning the period gown,
let us say that shoulder corsages
should not be used upon them. Flow
ers may be used upon the bodice.
For the very Young girl, tulle
frocks with semititted bodices and
flaring skirts are the prettiest
things of the season. Square neck
ines and tiny putfed sleeves Civ,
even a more youthful effect.
Beaded fringes and glistening
gowns have been put aside by the
smart woman until fall. Chiffons.
crepe satins, flowered georgettes
and laces are more apparent at
smart gatherings.
