Paris, April 26.-When you wish 10 call to mind collection of d few scasons past in the sense Of a dom- inaHt note running throughout. you invariably conJure up an evening | dress.
 This is easily explained by tho fact that an evening dress is more eloquently expressive of q style than any other dress. It is also l any comparison of styles Of diff ferent periods is made, evening gowns are always selected to show the evolution of fashion. Evening styles. anyway, are inGi- catiye Of the way and epoch in which women live. The ultra sim 1 pie evening dress of seven or eight years ago was cminontly suitable 10 1 the troublesome postwar days and also indicated the trend in the cVo- | lution of modern woman herself. l These conditions no longer exist and ! fashions have reelected for the past few seasons a tendency to greater | bi li4'ifIlN bS N'tl d.

Sometimes it is not so tough
being on the inside looking out.
For instance, the soJourners
of the District Jail saw an
athletic program consisting Of
boxing and wrestling last night
that was worth any mans time,
inside or outside of the Gov
ernment's custody.
The occasion was an ArmlStlce
Day program staged at the in
stance of fellow newspaper men
of the three Washington Times
reporters who would not squcal,
for the amusement, entertain
ment and edification Of the sew
eral hundred prisoners at Col.
Peaks model home.
And how sportland did re-
spond to this departments re-
quest for talent!
Somehow or other it has been
our experience that whenever a
program is needed for some
worthy cause, sportland and
stageland are the first to re-
spond.
Folks in those walks of life
are certainly human. They
know enough of life, it's ups
and downs, to give everything
they've got when a burden is to
be made a bit lighter for some
less fortunates. Show folks
have understanding!
Between the two callings, a
program which started at
o'clock and ended close 20
midnight gave the habitues of
the local hoosegow an evening
of enjoyment such as they
never witnessed before under
similar circumstances.
Colonel Peak says nothing
pleaSes the average customer at
his rest cure more than athletic
and musical diversion. That
being true, their cup was run
ming over last evening.
Many personalities lent their
talents to dispel the jail-house
blues and it is gratifying to
recall that they only had to be
asked once.
There was Jimmy Lake, of
course. Nothing of the sort
around this mans town would
be fitting or proper, say naught
of complete, without the Smil-
ing, obliging, affable Lake. He
deserted his own show house
on Ninth Street to convert the
District bastile into a rendezvous
of laughs and whoopee.
