keynotes az the meeting held three
times a month. Besides the growing
respect between the members there
is demonstrated. also. OF course. a
viril companionship Of the cause OF
the club.
Better business women FOR a bet

this successful organization extends
"a the officials that have served
during the past and by those who
are serving az the present time. but
primarily to the efficient group Of
women who compose the member

This
and
That
Fashion
BY DIANA MERWIN

tHSs"cidtcu ETeSS fdSnlOn EDITOR
PARIS Rl-"Longer skirts" Is
the latest fashion CRY.
The daytime frocks and suits ex-
hibited at the last style colAec-
tons displayed skirts from two 10
three inches longer than early
spring models. putting knees COM
pletely out OF sight.
The fashionable woman this sum-
mel will wear her luncheon and
shopping frocks y inches from the
ground. while formal afternoon
gowns have dropped to six inches
from the floor.
Only two exceptions to the new
edict marx the mode. Sport skirts
are worn no longer than four inches
below the knee and informal din
ner and evening frocks terminate
at the ankles.
The ankle length frocK for restau-
rant dining is one OF the favorite
fashions these days. although for
nal evening gowns miss the floor
by less than an inch.
With the rule for longer skirts
has come a tendency TO accented
hemlines. Many daytime suits and
frocks have hens s~calloped. pinked.
picoted or faced underneath with a
color lighter than the frock.
A favorite evening elegance Is
the transparent hem.
Frocks of lace. net or filmy chif-
fon are worn over k~neelength slips
or different colored combinations
ending in trousered shorts, permit
ting ankles and slippers 10 be at
least partially revealed.
The transparent hem vogue has
produced more colorful and inter-
esting designs in evening slippers.
one OF the newest being a toeless
sandal worn without stockings.
