NEW YORK, July 25.-"Fashion
this fall will be gay and ladylike,
More ladylike than overland cer-
tainly gay. The fashions of the
gay nineties will be one of the most
important influences in fashion this
fall and the gayness of the nineties
will prevail all through the come
ing fashion season." said AmoR
Parrish, opening the seventh semi.
annual fashion merchandising climb
at the Hotel Pierre.
''The ladylike and elegant trend
of the mode has made the Eugenis
fashions more important than they
were last year. The most striking
and best known of the Eugenie
fashions is the Eugene hat, which
has not only changed the hat fash-
ion picture but the entire silhouette
for fall" said Parrish in summarize
ing the fall fashions in apparel and
accessories.
He declared that many Of the
new coats take just a. few fashion
details from the Eugene or late
Victorian fashions. They may have
the Eugene feature of rounded,
sloping shoulders, or the coat Is
buttoned closer to the figure, giv-
ing the 1890 look of a slightly
higher and much smaller waistline.
1.-THE full length dresses of the
gay ninetieS are not coming back"
he asserted. 1.-THE women of 1881
could not wear the long 1890 skirts
and still get around as fast as they
have to today, Daytime dresses
this fall will be middle calf lengths

vided for by her.
 Not long after the discovery of oil on this famous Hill, drills were put to work at Santa Fe Springs, about 18 miles to the northeast of Long Beach. Among a group of old eucalyptus trees were hot, medicinal springs-two or three very old buildings origi- nally to accommodate rheumatic or other invalids-all this land old Spanish Grants formerly. AS ranch land the country for miles around was failure. A few Mexican fam lilies struggled along with dogs, pigs and chickens running at will under their miserable shacks. Farther away were the lemon and orange groves, and well towards Whittier, the walnut groves.
 But all this was soon to be changed. The Mexicans moved out joyously-the hot springs were deserted - the orange growers leased their lands for oil upon the payment to them of $lO0 per tree for all orange trees that bore even one orange and stood three feet high.
 The land was leased with roy alties, widows longing for Euro pean travel went across, waitress es bought units as shares in these companies were called, work ing men bought expensive automo- piles, and old men smiled content edly when they saw their children flourishing tremendously.
 As the oil gushers came along, the face of the landscape was al- tered. The Shell and the Union Oil companies built large tank farms upon adjoining land that had for years previously produced only fine crops of tumble weeds.
 Hundreds of derricks sprang up over night, with occasionally al burning gusher for variety. And these gave it for certainty. For weeks asbestos clad men fought these frightfully dangerous out laws of Mother Nature striving with all their inventive faculties to devise some means of putting out their fires.
 For six weeks the skies at night were lighted by the burning of two big oil gushers in the Santa Fe field. From the mountains to the sea the sky was brightly lighted to be seen for many miles around. The first one had not died out when the second caught fire, pre- Sumably from it's friction of sand and gas as they sometimes do. No smoker is allowed to work on these wells, and no strangers or visitors are admitted within the oil work ing enclosures.
 These oil derricks, after so many made of wood had been destroyed by fire, were being erected of steel. These were found more econom- ical in the long run.
 After several years of intensive drilling, the Signal Hill field showed signs of giving out. Sea water came into some of the wells, others dWindled or petered out en- tirely, and many operators quit work
 The field rested. The oil pool filled again. A year went by, perhaps more. Then someone had a hunch to drill his old we'll deep CT, when presto! Change! The oil gushed as before.
