Washington Fashions
By WILMA LAVMLE

Two or three things about
fall costumes decide what the
fall gloves will be like. First is
the lavish use of fur on sleeves,
and the greater interest in the
cut and trimming of sleeves.
This makes it necessary to
wear simple, shorter gloves,
without any flare. So that for
street and general daytime
wear we will use slip-onS, four
or six button length. The trend
toward shorter gloves is also
due to the Empress Eugene in
fluence. The Empress had small
hands, and so wore short, tight
, gloves to show her hands off to
advantage. We too will wear
our formal gloves more fitted
this year.
Accessories must be incon-
Spicuous in color this fall, to
give the costume q better
chance. This is particularly

LINDYS have
kept TOUCH
With WORLD

NEW YORK, Aug. up There
have been long periods when their
c~ountrymen had no word OF their

along the Lindbergh trail across

ton II the men with whom they
communicated while on the wing
had thought 70 pass the word along.
Pan American airways received a
message from Mrs. Lindbergh at
Aklavik reporting that contact with
local stations had been made ac-
cording to instructions. These in
structiOns. given Mrs. Lindbergh be-
fore she left New York. are 50 de-
tailed that their observance means
that almost constant communica-
ton has been maintained.
Mrs. ~Lindbergh's instructions for
operating during the last part OF
the leg from Baker lake 70 Aka
vik, for instance, were as follows:
In Constant Touch
Have Churchill Vap listen for

to send on. Nearing Akavik YOU can
probably work CordOya NRA by

listening TO him on % meters. Also
Point Barrow al be worked when
nearing Aklavik by transmitting on
% and listening 10 him on 37.'
Similar instructions were given
Mrs. Lindbergh for each leg of the
flight. and according 70 her mess
age she has been following instruc-
ti0nS with success. Yet there have
been long intervals without word
of the ~Lindberghs here.
Radio engineers here. believe that
operators or local stations commun-
icating with the Lindberghs have
failed 70 relay messages 70 the out
er world.
Schedules Kept
Mrs. Lindbergh also reported she
was keeping the day and night
schedules for attempted communi-
cation with New York. This Sched-
ule called for an hours communi-
cation at u noon and two in the
afternoon. g. S. r., and at s and 10
in the evening.
No direct message has been pick
ed up here since the flLerS left
