What's in Fashion?
Helpful Details for Large Figures
Directed by AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK-"Au this
springs fashions are made for
slim figures" somebody COM
planned the other day.
We Ion't agree with that.
The trouble with this COM
plainant probably is that there
are so many fashions designed
to make figures look slim, she
thinks everybody wearing them
is slim.
There are no special fashions
for the large woman this
spring. Nothing to mark a
costume obviously extra size
The good fashion details that
all fashionable women are
wearing are the fashion details
for the larger woman, too.
Because they happen to be.
the ones that are most becom-
ing to her-and the ones that
do a great deal to lessen the
appearance of size.
Diagonal CloSings
There's the diagonal line you
see so often in coats and suits
and dresses. One of the most
fashionable closings there is,
and one of the most becoming
% the large figure.
The narrow roll collar is a
new fashion in coats, suits and
dresses. That, too, is fine for
the large figure. It's neat, in
conspicuous, and has nothing
to add to her appearance of
size.
The fashion fact that so
many smart coats are un-furred
is a welcome idea to the larger
woman. It keeps out all sug-
gestion Of bulkineSS.
Flat Furs Fashionable
And the fashion fact that
when coats are furred, it's most
often with flat, short haired
furs is another good idea for
her. They're the kind of fur
she wears best.

waistline of dresses makes a soft
line and helps disguise any diff
ference between waistline and
hipline size.
The long scarfs that hang be-
low the waist make a nice verti-
cal line to draw eyes up and
down the figure instead of
across it. It adds to the illusion
of height. And vertical lines of
steaming in a skirt do the same
thing.
Fashions to Avoid
Of course, there are fashions
the large figure would do better
to avoid. Short, flaring pep,

belts. Contrasting tops on

Ferry Tickets Sold
By Employees Only

According to word received thi,
week by w. D. Clark ferry tickets car
no longer be sold by others than en-
ployees of the company issuing them
When books of tickets are purchased
they are supposedly to be used by the
purchaser.
For number of years past Mr.
Clark has sold single tickets to patrons
at the price they would ordinarily get
the tickets for only If buying them in
sheets of ten. The Transportation
Company have in like manner accom-
modated foot passengers BY doing this
Mr.. Clark and the bus company have
effected considerable saving for the
Island people. This ruling comes at
an unfortunate time when money is
rather scarcer than usual and ferry
patrons must now either invest in
more tickets than they care to, or else
pay the regular one trip fare at a
considerable higher rate.
1t is reported that this action was
not taken originally by the Kitsap
County Transportation, but was forced
by recent ruling by the Department
of Public Works on behalf of another
company.

o. E. S. CARD PARTY
SATURDAY NIGHT, OCT. 1;

Court whist is to make its official
entrance on Saturday night at the
card party under the auspices of the
Island Chapter o. E. S. at the
Masonic Hall.
From all reports court whist has all
of the good points of five hundred
and bridge combined, and presents a
lot of fun that is all its own. At each
table trump is named in a different
manner. Different penalties are i'm
posed, one of which will find many
victims among the sterner sex, par
ticularly should any of the men draw
their wife as partner at this particu-
lar table. At this particular table the
players who talk after trump is
nj med are penalized.
Playing will begin at $3.50. A small
admission will be charged. Refresh
ments will be served during the eve
ming and there are many features be-
ing planned that will provide jolly
evening. Every person on the Island
who enjoys cards and a good social
time are invited to join with the
members of the Eastern Star on
Saturday evening, October 18th.

HEN LAYS UNUSUAL EGG.

Mrs. Harriet Ward informed the
office this week of an unusual in
stance that will be of interest to
poultry raisers. 1t is rather CO.
incidence that on the same day the
Seattle Times told of similar hap
pening on the mainland.
Mrs. Ward has a flock of April
pullets from the Beall flock. Several
of these pullets started to produce be-
fore they were four months old, SO
Mrs. Ward says. On Monday one Of
them laid an egg that was too large
to put in the egg crate so Tuesday
morning Mrs. Ward decided to boil
the egg for her breakfast. When she
broke 1t she was amazed to find that
in 1t were four distinct yolks.
She has promised the editor Of the
News-Record the next large egg this
pullet lays, so we can see for our
selves what her chickens are doing
She feels that this is Just one more
argument In favor Of Beall stock.

THEIR CONFIDENCE IN
ADVERTISING UNsHAKEN

Through general misunderstand-
ing the name of A. j. Marsh was
omitted from the Red g. White adj
vertisement last week. While it was
not the error of the News-R Record we
appreciate the fact that Mr.. Marsh
feels badly over the omission, and
quite naturally resented it. Mr..
Marsh has always been a supporter of
home industries and friend of the
local institutions. and it makes us feel
mighty good that he is not considering
letting down on advertising at this
time. The News-Record has always
tried to do its bit to keep before the
subscribers the wisdom of patronizing
home merchants and it is indeed
heartening when group of repre-
sentative merchants like the Red g.
White group refuse to economic along
the line Of advertising, choosing rather
to patronize the home paper. City
concerns are doing more advertising
than ever these days and the Red g.
White merchants feel that it is a good
policy to advertise even when times
are dull.

Island Grapes Are
Sent To Hospital

Through the generosity and assist
ance of Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Smith, the
Portage Orthopedic Auxiliary was able
to send to the hospital 600 pounds of
delicious Island Belle grapes on
Thursday of last week.
-Four members, with the help of Mr..
and Mrs. Smith, gathered and packed
them and the Vashon Auto Freight,
as usual, took them to the hospital
without charge. The gift is particu-
larry acceptable since the hospital is
always in need of grape juice for the
patients, and it is hoped some of the
children may be able to enjoy some
of the lovely punches of grapes just
as they came from the vine.
Although they are very busy with
the regular work at the hospital, when
the inquiry was sent in to know if
they could care for the grapes, the
reply came very promptly that they
would manage them, and be glad to
have them sent.

DANCE BEING MUCH DISCUSSED

Everywhere one goes on the ISLAND
these days they hear reference being
made to the Harvest Moon Dance be-
ing planned by the members of the
Island Club for Friday evening, Oc-
tober 23rd. The very fact that this is
an informal occasion, and that the
men are to come CARRIED in overalls,
and the ladies in gingham dresses has
aroused the interest of both young
and old.
Although advertised as an old-time
dance there is every possibility that
some of the newer styles in dancing
will also be enjoyed during the eve
ming.
The committee in charge is plan
ming number of novel features that
will be decided innovations, while the
committee in charge of refreshments
is working hard to provide plenty to
eat for the large number that the
sale of tickets already indicates will
be present.
This is to be an all Island affair
and it is being given, not alone as
money making project, although
charge is being made. 1t is planned
for those who enjoy a good time with
