flung back her head, threw her

Of abandon, her hips swung PEN

her hands played an invisible
piano over her head.
The girls stood around con.

BY Betty Brownlee.

(FGHIOAs Fashion ErpeTf,)
TN the new striking color ef.

course, the old standby, black
and white, is still popular. For
instance, n new ensemble d.
vides the frock into intersecting
tiers of black and white jersey,

lined with white suede cloth and
has a shawl collar and cuffs of

Another stunning outfit con-
ssts OF a one-piece frock cut
like a coat, with a collar and
revers and belted. 1t is Of
brown, tan and cream stuff in
a plaid. The long top coat Of
brown tweed has a band of plaid
material on each sleeve and
collar Of "red"-otherwise orange
fox.
One Of the most attractive
little ensembles brought out this
season has a skirt laid with wide
box : plaits and a short belted
jumper. A circular cape cut to
escape the bottom OF the jumper
is made with a shallow yoke in
front fastening with n button
and finished with a narrow
scarf, which is wound around the
neck to fall over the shoulder at
the back. The entire suit is made
of army blue heavy wool jersey,
and the lining of the cape and
the belt OF vanished leather,
are bright orange.
Color combinations are fire.

A young man, attractively
sober. sat on a chair near a book
case. His eyes swept the room
and there was an unmistakable
expression of disgust on his in
telligent face. He singled out
one girl, a little livelier than the
rest, infinitely lovelier. She was
swaying on the arm Of a chair
in which the host was sprawled.
Her fingers caressed a cocktail

to the music. Suddenly she

brings less than small crop.
Producers of crops whose total
volume exceeds the needs of the do

mental legislation for the control
and orderly handling of agricultural
