women who have not felt the
need of new evening clothes
dash out to buy them. They
find that they have been rather
wise in waiting, for there are
many new things that make
this mid.winter mode different.
things that have developed out
of the earlier fall clothes, and
that give a newness and fresh
look to the clothes that are
now being made. They are holi-
day clothes, with a festive air,
but they are practical clothes,
too, that will look well through
out the whole season. and many
OF them may be carried into the
summer.
Variable NecklineS
Among the newer fashion
} trends that make clothes diff
ferent are the use of beading
and pailletteS. Jackets. scarfs,
sleeves are beaded or set with
Sequins, or paillettes or beads
are used as trimming here and
there on the dress. Occasionally
you will see them scattered over
the whole gown, but more
usually they are put on with
restraint, just here and there.
Many of them make the har-
ness straps that are so popular
for the decolletage. Necklines
continue low in the back. and
often higher in the front.
Waist-lines are high and higher,
with the skirt in sheath effect,
the fullness very low. Some
gowns have little sleeveless
jackets, so that they may be ex-
tremely formal without the
i Jacket, but rather more of a din

principle becomes engrafted upon
our government.
The unceasing effort viii be to
add to the army of pensioners by
lowering the age limit, and to dou-
bic the monthly pension allowance
set forth in this act.
Nobody seems to know how much
the old age pension plan outlined
in this legislation will draw from
the public treasury. There have
been various estimates.
Delaware Case Cited
A few days ago the small state
OF Delaware enacted a similar law
and its pension law carried an ap-
preparation of s25O,OO0 to pay the
states half Of the old age pension
provided for.
The principle" recognized in
Delaware was the welI-established
principle that doles can not be paid
without money; that public pensions
can not be met without increasing
taxes.
In Delaware it was recognized
that 10 is bad policy to sign a blank
note without knowing where the
cash is to he raised with which to
meet the note on pay day, and with
out providing in a business-like
fair, and open fashion the funds

urgent demands in future for
ever-increasing allowances. 1t makes
for systematic pauperism and fails
to supply adequate safeguards
against abuses Of the experimental
dole system it proposes to set UP in
Indiana.
No Way to Know Cost
1t taxes the people Of nonpension
paying counties to help pay PEN
Sions to inhabitants Of other coun-
ties. There is no way of knowing
what the operation of the proposed
law will cost county o. state, but
experiments in other states indicate
that the system is excessively cost
~ and that it mean increased tax
alton in a time when tax reduction
is the chief demand and at a time
when the overburdened taxpayer is
finding it more difficult than ever
to pay his share of the high cost Of
government.
If Delaware is a criterion, the
measure would cost between $780,
900 and S6,oo0.0 900 a year in Indi~
ana. The problem of caring for
the old and INDECENT, first is a fam
lily matter and then a community
concern.

seeks to unload local problems and
expenses upon state and nation Is

required TO take up the paper when
it is due.
It is possible to estimate the
probable cost of an old age pension
system in Indiana if the case OF
Delaware is studied. Delaware, with
three counties, and only 238,360
population, evidently estimates that
a law similar to this Indiana en-
actment would cost the state at
least S125,000 a year for its share.
Indiana, with ninety-two counties,
and 3,225,0Oo population, certainly
would be called upon to pay out
many millions annually to match
the dollars taken from the county
treasures for old age pensions. The
aggregate would be staggering.
Yet the old age pension act car
rie5 no appropriation and sets UP
no machinery to provide the money
for pension payments.
Talks Of Confiscation
Personally I am unwilling to ap-
prove an act that calls for a large
expenditure Of public funds by the
state and various counties, where
no provision is made in the act for
raising the fund to meet the obli-
cations. In this act we are offered
a plan for adoption Of the old age
pension plan at the option Of the

county, the county to pay half Of
the pension and the state to pay
the other half.
The couzties that decline to join
the experiment, however, have no
option" when it comes to paying
through the state treasury their re-
spective shares Of the states por-
ton Of the pensions paid in coun-
ties operating as ole-dispensers.
There may arise in this connec-
ton the question whether q county
might be required to contribute
money with which to help pay bills
incurred in another county by that
other county. Where does confs-
cation begin2
No machinery is here set up as in
the case of school aid, to provide
for this extraordinary experimental
application of the tax money OF
one county to pension indigents of
another county. The proposed law
is neither fair nor workable.
The pension allowance proposed
in the act is not adequate. sThere
is no provision in the act for money
with which to pay the allowance.

We have here, however. not only
an abstract and sentimental appeal,

decidedly disturbing to those who

It is said by some that this act

This means but one thing: That

that later sessions Of the Indiana

This act not only suggests an ad-

rolled Act, No. 3,-the old age pen
sion act.
The sincere and warm-hearted
advocates Of this experimental leg
islation T entitled TO every con-
s~ideration. It is impossible to ap-
proach the problems involved in
this measure without feeling and
expressing that profound sympathy
which is awakened in every breast
by any movement, which, even
theoretically or tentatively, seeks
to put into practice society's most
praiseworthy attribute, human
charity.
The members Of the general as
seinbly who have tried in all good
faith to provide for the adoption
OF such a revolutionary innovation
as that involved in old age pen
sions should be commended for
their sympathetic attitude toward
the abstract problem Of old age

When Hair Is Arranged in Curls
BY MARY MARSHALL.

croquis that came back as an answer
were used as the basis for today's
sketches.
Many French women have taken up
the fashion of wearing curls for teas
dinners and evening receptions, though
usually the simpler arrangement is
chosen for sports wear. The curlS may
be cne's own or they may be false curl5
securely attached.
Hair that is partly grown may be
parted little to one side and brought
back in soft waves to the back of the
head and fastened little to the right
in a bouquet of curls with one longer
than the rest extending slightly down
on the neck at the right side.
The hair may be brushed in soft
waves back from the face with the ends
arranged in a soft bouquet of curlS
across the back of the head. The hair
may be parted in the center with the
front hair curled at the ends and fast
ened with small barettes above each
ear, and the back hair in curls fastened
with a barette at the naCe of the neck.
The sketches show other interesting
ways that the curled coiffure may be
achieved.
