Lelong uses navy Sblue
chiffon faconne with
white and navy blue satin
polka dots for a formal
afternoon dress with a
cape replacing sleeves and
a skirt falling nearly to
the floor.
Vionnet created a trans
formation gown by show,
ing over a slim gown Of
pale beige rose satin, a
cape of dark bright blue
chiffon. The cape may
be taken off, held around
the hips rolled into place
like q Javanese Sarong,
and twisted together in
front, making an over
skirt slightly longer than
the satin gown. A large
handkerchief is effective,
either carried or tied
loosely around the neck
to hang in front like a
cowl.

Among the uSua !
materials Chanel features
black tulle embroidered
all over in flat-colored
flowers that looks from

LouiSe-boulanger creates
a perfect example of the
new silhouette in using
red chiffon dotted with
tiny silver beads. Trousers
are hidden by the skirt
hanging straight to the
floor.

Lanvin creates a Grecian
inspired model from red
lace, the fullness being
finely gathered and held
close to the figure by
crossing bands. The skirt
touching the floor is very
important.
Patou has displayed a
feeling for the classical,
fashioning a print chif-
fon Of rose red and pink,
into a gown of long
. straight lines. The skirt
is attached at high waist

pleated and the hemline
touching the floor.

next to 1t. He suggested that I
come down here and rest.
There was a house on each is
land. I came here in 1908 and
lived on Big Watts. I liked the life
at first. II was so quiet and there
was no n to bother me. Then my
law practice called me. I went to
Georgia to try a case, but I didn't
stay long-only three months. I
was glad to get back to the island
life. Here I stayed and here I
am"
While he was away somebody
tore down the house on Big Watts
Island TO get firewood. Hardenberg
moved over to Little Watts, where
he has lived ever since.
Big Watts is more than a mile
long, and Is separated from Little
Watts by a narrow strait which is
a strip Of mud at low tide. -
house on Little Watts is made OF
brick, and was built in lS47 by the
government a. a home for the light
house keeper. Now the light is
automatic, needing no keeper, and
the house had been sold TO Harden
berg's brother some years before
H~ardenberg first went down.
Two big trees, brought from
France by early settlers, stand be-
side the house. There Hardenberg
has lived alone for % years. He
has three chickens. they run wild
and are the only animal life on the
island. He does not keep a dog
and he refuses to install a radio.
He has never bothered to plat a
garden, although the soil is fertile.
His provisions are brought over
from Onancock. Va. Oysters grow
on the half-submerged rocks about
the island. and there are plenty OF
fish in the waters a few feet from
his front door. When he gets tired
of canned goods he catches a few
fish or rips a few oysters off the
rocks.
Furniture Is Scant
I don't like to cook" he says.
and I hate housework."
His home bears witness to this
statement. II has no furniture ex-
cept that which Is absolutely neces-
sary. There are a folding card ia
bic. a rocker and a half dozen fold
ing chairs in the living room. Up
stairs Is a plain wooden bed. One
room has a grass rug. That is all.
Hardenberg has no books. and
reads magazines only OCCASIONALLY.
Il used to have a big library" he
says. "One Of the finest n New
Jersey. But now I'm away from 1t
all and / have no desire for books.
I thought about getting a radio,
but"
When he feels the need of exer-
else he gets his row boat and goes
over to Biz Watts Island to take a
little walk. His one objection TO
Little Watts, he says. Is that il
doesn't give him enough room to
walk around.

ASKS
TEN CENT LOAN
Present Price Is Sought
For Texas Farmers
By Congressman

MARLIN, Aug. 2l.- R-De-
mand that the federal farm board
lend at least ten cents a pound
on cotton was voiced today by
Tom Connally Of Marlin, United
States senator, IN a telegram to
Chairman Legge and Commission
er Williams Of the federal farm
board and Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Hyde.
Senator Connally's telegram fol-
lows:
Il am advised that agencies Of
the farm foard in Texas have re-
duced loans CO cotton TO six cents
per pound. Such action will have
undue and unfair influence to-
wards depression Of price. Strong
ly urge that you have the farm
board authorize loan on cotton Of
az least ten cents per pound. The
great cotton crop Of the south is
in the most critical situation since
1914. The success OF the farm
board and the farm relief act is
on trial. If it fails the farmers at
this critical time they will despair
OF its usefulness. Please call the
board in extraordinary session if
necessary and take favorable &C
ton"

1880 Robinson Crusoe, Dwelling
Near Nations Capital, Has Lived
Alone on Tiny Island for % Years

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21-Charles
Hardenberg has been playing soli-
taire for % years. 1t isn't very ex-
citing. and he doesn't much care
how il comes out: but then he does
MT much care about anything. and
playing solitaire seems TO him about
as good a way OF putting in the
time as any, so he Is still at 1t, day
after day and year after year.
Charles Hardenberg is a hermit
the Robinson Crusoe Of Chesapeake
Bay, living ali by himself on tiny
Little Watts Island. Is miles off the
Virginia shore and near Tangier
Island with its quaint Cornish COM
munity, founded three centuries ago.
He is the sole inhabitant OF his
island. which is just about the size
of an ordinary city lot. He has lived
there since 1908. and he says he's
going TO stay there to the end.
Dissatisfied With Life
In 1903 Hardenberg was 80 years
old, a successful lawyer In Jersey
City, with a good practice. His
father and his older brother were
lawyers. The family had a good
social position; there seemed no
reason why the young lawyer should
be dissatisfied with life.
But he al He explains 1t to an
interviewer:
My father was very III for a
long time before he died. / had to

had a lot Of time to think. When
it was all over I was tired; tired OF
everything. OF the way we live and
Of the cities. / wanted to 20 away
from everything. My brother owned
this island and Big Watts Island.
