CHIC and easy variability
are happily combined in
the new collection being
shown in Paris by Bruyere-
the variability being OBJ
tanned by a sensible silhouette
and the chic by myriad happy
details, applied as only a
Paris couturier can.
In afternoon dresses we find crepe
de chine leading, with amusing and
attractive collar and cuff touches.
Sometimes the normal waist-line is
indicated by the cut Of the dress
and sometimes there is a belt, but
very often the bodice is bloused in
the back, or both front and back.
Pockets are a smart feature on
many of the afternoon models, an
green dress, for instance,
having a band of pleated material
with a pocket placed at that point,

Louis Bromfield is not the most en-

the United States, among those VINO

Bromheld, one of the younger
American novehsts who is recog-
nized as such, talked at Tudor Hail
Thursday night upon most fas-
cinating subject, The Things we
Live Too Fast to See" Whatever
the cause, the subject of the talk DID
not quite seem to fit.
1.-THE war has caused America TO
be recognized as the outstanding ma
ton of the world fifty, or perhaps a
hundred years, before this would
have happened under normal condi-
tons. AS a result, besides taking
us into account as a powerful and
wealthy nation, other countries nave
had to take note of our contrlbu-
tons of art.
perhaps the outstanding and
most recognized contribution OF our
age is our Jazz music" And Brom-
field. who speaks with a nervous
ness that breaks into stammerlng u
times, told his audience that Euro
peans consider jazz good music. In
fact. with the exception of Germany
and Austria. it almost is Impossible
to hear anything about jazz music
any place in Europe" he said.
"Another of the American contrl-
buttons to art, which has been &C
cepted by Europeans is our arcnl-
lecture. which is the first distinct
architecture since a century ago. IN
dustrially, American products nave
invaded Europe in an astonishing
manner. More than half the cars
are American, the motion pictures
are American made, and every one
who can afford American cigarets
smokes them. Even Paris mas
adopted our electric sign form OF
advertising for its boulevards.
In speaking of literature, Brom-
field laid stress on the fact thaV
American novelists no longer write
English novels in America. Inc
Younger group have broken away
from the traditional novel as II Is
written in the English language.
Thev are writing American novels
in American.
~It can not be said WHICH OF these
literary contributions shall last. Be
cause we are essentially an age OF
transition. We are breaking the lce'
as it were. for the authors to come
in the age to follow, which VIII De

Several interesting sport dresses
are made up in light woolens and
fancy jerseys. Some coats are
straight, others have the circular
skirt.
The evening gowns are long, with
full skirts and tightly fitted waists,
and are made up in tulle, lace, chif-
fon and taffeta. One charming rose
tulle gowns has diagonal pleats,
which widen toward the hem, the
color deepening from top to bottom.
CPECIALLY woven fabrics, which
- have the character Of home
spun, are a feature of the collection
now being shown in Paris. These
are used principally for sports wear,
in charming designs. Suits and en-
sembles often are made up in
sharply contrasting colors, such as
red dress with black jacquette.
Another pert model has a black
jacquette and a white skirt with
large black stripes.
Soft rose or beige and brown
fabrics prevail and intricate and
subtle are the designs.

PRESS IS ACCUSED
IN SCHMIDT CUSTER
Editor Says Medical Care
I Cost Exploited to Make
| Newspaper Holiday.
BY the Associated Press.

aSy the ASSOCiAIco FTeSS.
CHICAGO, April ls.-The great
problem of the cost Of medical care
has been exploited to make a news
paper holiday. DR.. Morris Fishbein de-
clared yesterday In an editorial of the
journal Of the American Medical Asso-
citation Of which he is editor.
The issue in the question of Dr.
Louis e. Schmidt, expelled from the
Chicago Medical Society for his con-
nection with health clinic which adj
vertises. was his ethical status, said
DR. Fishbein.
Newspaper stories changed that
question to a consideration of the cost
Df medical care and made DR.. Schmidt
the standard bearer in campaign
which previously, so far as available
evidence permits judgement, concerned
him but little" asserted DR.. Fishbein.
He emphasized that the cost of be-
Ing sick was due only in a small de-
gree to the fees of physicians.
The custer of DR.. Schmidt, Promi-
nent surgeon, philanthropist and pro-
fessor at Northwestern University, was
followed by the designations of DR..
Herman Bundesen, coroner and for
mer city health commissioner, and Dr.
Rachelle Yarros, obstetrician and long
a worker at Hull House, social set
Element.
The two doctors said they left the
society because they we're in full ac-
cord with DR.. Schmidt's fight to re-
duce the cost Of being sick.

He would stand beside a railroad

the total as correctly as the tabulator
with paper and pad who stood beside
him.
Merchants employed him at inventory
