Afternoon
GO7c,nAgain
inFaShiOn
BY ROSETTE
Written for NEA Service

PARIS. Sept. lit Is evident,
now that the Paris couturiers have
all shown their collections, that the
winter Season will not be one of a
certain static style as usually is the
rule. Never have they been so
fertile in new ideas and innovations.
It may be said that the dress
creators have evolved a silhouette
to suit every possible expression of
woman's individuality and person.
atty.
So far as the technical side of
fashions is concerned, the revival
of the afternoon gown is an i'm
portant point.
With it return fabrics that had
long been abandoned for the very
reason that they could not be
adapted to sports styles.
Skirts are Longer
AS for the styles themselves, it
IS an indisputable fact that skirts
are definitely longer and sometimes
very full. Added to this, the re-
turn to the normal waistline tends
TO give the new models greater
length, but the dropping, dipping
effects of last season have been re-
placed by an all-round hemline.
Women will have to study their
figure just as carefully as before
and it already is foregone conclu-
sion, with the advent Of the tuck
in blouse and close-fitting skirt
yokes, that a moderniZed version OF
the corset will soon take place OF
the present inadequate girdle.
Tweeds are Prevailing Fabric
Tweeds, English and home manu-
featured, are the prevailing fabrics
this year for sports and street
wear.
Rodier shows jerseys to match
tweedS in which the colors are ex-
actly the same. but woven into all
manner of striking designs. Some
houses use tweed for the coat and
jersey for the dress.
Others favor the coat of varying
length and skirt, both in the tweed.
The tweeds are usually a tri-color
combination with diagonal weave.
While even the more practical
clothes show the prevailing desire
for still greater femininity, this in
fluence unqueStionably is expressed
in the gowns set aside for the after
noon.
The fabrics themselves are sump-
tuous in texture and rich in coloring,
often heavily trimmed with fur, and
one has the impression that the pin
nacle of righteousness has been
reached.
Chiffon Velvet Popular
Printed chiffon velvet is used a
great zeal in afternoon ensembles.
The coat is made of either cloth
or velvet and the gown of chiffon
velvet in both large and small floral
designs on a background either
lighter in color or matching the
coat.
Short pile velvet has taken the
place of chiffon velvet in Jean Pa
tou's collection, the former possess
ing the advantage of looking newer.
Dress satinS show a leaning to
small designs in the form of tiny
stars or leaves.
Printed velvetS and Satins have
not contrived to GUST that old IA
vorite, crepe satin, or even crepe de
chine. both of which still figure
largely in important collections of
gowns.

for smart sports occasion, for the

toque, extremely simple in appear

head, with an end of the ribbon
forming a little crushed brim on
the right side and a big bow at the

down, and the two ends hanging
down.
The top of the bow is on a line

Madame Agnes likewise is partial
to velvet. One model has a crown
of black velvet and large rolled
brim of nasturtium velvet crushed
into a sort of tam effect, but with
one end tucked in and the other

On another she uses two tones
of light brown, with a band OF the

 About the same crew as last year is again employed at the plant, and in addition to a number of small CT boats, five large seine boats have been engaged to fish for the can ncry.

TIJUANA, Mexico, June 27.-A Tijuana landmark that became fa- nous, not through antiquity but rather because of it's rapid growth, soon is to give way to progress.
 The Tijuana race track built in 1916, the home of the richest horse racing stake in the world-the Golf froth handicap-has lived it's day and like so many other relics Of earlier times, is doomed to crumble before the wrecker's tools.
 And while it's wooden walls are being demolished. a new plant of steel and concrete will be rearing it's unromantic outline short dis tance away.
 Horse racing, of course, is to be continued in Baja, California, as it has since James Sunny Jim" Cof- froth first came to this western part of Old Mexico more than 13 years ago.
 l Coffroth, an international figure as San Francisco boxing pro- moter during the 45 round days, gave up his promotional enterprises I in this game when it was voted il- legal in California in 1914. Horse race betting in the state suffered similar fate about the same time
 Sensing the opportunity and flushed with his success in promot- ing a score or more of champion ship bouts ranging from the ban tamweight to heavyweight divisions Coffroth moved bag and baggage to Lower California.
 His plans were declared imprac- ticable but the track was opened January l, 1916. Nature conspirec against him, and two weeks later floods wiped out the project. But 1 a new racing plant sprung up and with it the Coffroth handicap. The first running of this classic hac a winners value of only $4,000 The last running in the spring of 1929 had a gross value of $130,000.
 The new race track will be known as the Agua Caliente Jockey Clut and will represent an outlay oi more than $1,O00,000 While the new combine includes Coffroth ir it's membership, he is not expected to participate as actively as before The leaders in the new organiza. tion arc Wirt G. Bowman, Baror Long and James N Crofton, asso. ciates of Sunny Jim" in the ole Tijuana Jockey club.
