CLOTHES IN

Sleeves Were Very
Important, Just AS
They Are Century
Later

DARIS was the center OF
fashions a hundred years
ago, just as it is today.
OF course news OF fashions
travelled more slowly then
from east to west, but it trav-
eled just the same. And
though American women did
not read news flashed across
the ocean by wireless, still
they got news from Paris
about the shortening or
frightening of skirts, the in
crease or decrease in the size
Of sleeves.
A hundred years ago fash
ions were undergoing decided
change, just as they are today.
The high waist Of the Empire
and Directoire periods had
gone out OF fashion. The
waistline was moving down.

smaller. So that in place Of
the scant underwear women
wore in the Directoire they
were donning heavy corsets

JEWELS AND
GOWNS MUST
HARMONIZE
If You Have Jewels
Then Buy the Dress
That Best Goes
With Them

IEWELRY takes an i'm
portant place in the eve

realize this even though you
are extremely conservative in
your use Of jewelry and limit
yourself TO two ornaments or
even one. You may feel that
you look best with no jewclry
save a pair Of the new very
long pendant earrings, or a
single string Of pearls or bril-
liants, or a bracelet with a
ring to match. or perhaps a
large brooch and matching
pair Of earrings. But If you
are 10 look decidedly we'll

costume the relationship be-
tween the gown and the jew
elry must be carefully consid-
cred. II you already have the
jewelry then you should
choose the evening gown &C
cordingly.
Rubies are in the ascendency
this autumn. and the rather SIM
ply contrivcd dress OF white satin
or crepe Is frequently chosen as
a foil for them Pale. pastel tones
may also be worn effectively as a
background for these lovely red
stones ard a rather daring con-

are most effective when worn with

Underwear Must Fit
AS Well AS Dresses

Fashion now demands perfectly
fitted undcrgarments. They should
not be tight. but they should be
made to conform TO the natural
outlines OF the body SO that there

tract from the nodded lines OF the
outer garments. Unless you have
a figure OF perfectly average pro-
portions you should have your

ness cross the bust. Then there
are new evening dresses with
RULES extending across the bust
and under the arms that also give
width and fullness TO the slender
woman.
Some az the new dresses are
held at the shoulders with the
narrowest of shoulder straps. a

TALLY unbroken. Sometimes there
Is a narrow shoulder strap with a

The wide 1880 decolletage is
found on some OF the new eve
ming dresses. sometimes with a
bertha extending across the front
OF the bodice forming short caps
over the shoulders and usually
extended in tho back to follow the
lines or a very low-cut bodice.
The effect is one OF Victorian de-
murcness at the front and of

With the all white dress you
may wear a belt ~ twisted velvet

fashion for a twisted girdle Of this
sort accompanied by a scarf made
Of the same velvet. 4 simple
white dress worn with bright
green Sirdle and scarf is especi-
ally attractive.
The large bow placed al the
front az the left shoulder strap
is decidedly smart. A somewhat
smaller bowknot may be placed
at the front Of both shoulder
straps.
Colored Eardenias may be plac-

declarer were to play the deuce and
allow the dummy to hold the. trick
with the eight. his opponents, by cor
rect play, could easily stop game.
II the eight holds the trick the
clubs would be started from dummy,
East would lay off until the third
round, when he would win with the
ace. He would return the jack of
hearts, which the declarer would fl
nesse.
West would return a heart, which
the declarer would be forced to win
on the third round with the ace. If
he then led the c of spades and q
small spade he would be unable to
get into the dummy to make the two
good clubs. A small spade lead would
be won by Vests king and the spade
suit would be blocked.
The proper play is for thu declarer
to overtake the eight Of spades with
the ace, then play his three rounds OF
| clubs, East winning the third round
| with the ace and returning the jack
of hearts. Declarer would finesse, West
would win and return a heart. De-
clarer would win the third round OF
hearts with the ace. Now the small
spade is led by declarer. If West wins
with the king the declarer has q sure

win, the spade is won In the dummy
with the queen, the two good clubs
led, and the diamond finesse taken,
which gives the declarer three no

Bank Stock Solution
Calling attention to the fact. that
recent decisions of the United States
supreme court and Of various state
supreme courts have raised "a serious
question as to the constitutionality of
present methods Of taxing national
bank Stock" the report recommends
a change in the present laws.
ITO avoid the objection Of discrim-
inatory treatment" the report states,
the law should be amended to pro.
vide that any individual Or corpora
ton using moneyed capital IN compe-
tition with bank capital shall be re-
quired to file with the tax commiS-
sioner and with the county auditor a
full and complete itemized sworn
statement showing the amount OF
capital used in competition with ma
tional banks.
I'm order that there may be no
doubt or misunderstanding in this
connection the report says, 1t is rec
commended that the legislature add
the provision to our statute that the
bank shall make returns of shares
owned by nonresidents and pay the
tax thereon as their agent. We con-
slider this a matter of Importance be-
cause Of the large amount of bank
stock owned by socalled chain or
