City Women Express Wide Variety of Choices in Fashions

VXTHAT the trend Of styles would
w be If women we're given free
rein to choose their own costumes,
without listening to the dictates of
Paris, is an interesting conjecture.
One guess is as good as another.
Questioned as to their personal
preferences in wearing apparel,
ten women prominent in Indi-
annapolis today gave varied and in
teresting replies.
Mrs. Thor Wesenberg, president
of the Woman's Council Of Butler
university, is devotee of the pres
ent mode. 1--WE could not revive
any of the old styles-Grecian or
enpire--without revising our whole
mode of living. The styles today
are adapted to all types of women
slim and stout, tall and short.
They do not hamper ones freedom
and are so adaptable TO the occa-
sion"
Mrs. Frank B. Hunter, president
Of the Indiana Federation of Music
Clubs and prominent singer, chooses
the feminine, graceful models. Il
can't remember any time when the
styles we're any prettier than at
present.
THE normal lines which influence
the present styles are much more
becoming than the exaggerated lines
of the hustle and wasp-waist pc
riods. The long flowing evening
styles are beautiful, feminine and
flattering. I dislike the extreme
short skirt and the mannish affec-
tations."
TINE era of the hustle and volu-
L minous skirts has an adherent
in Mrs. Robert Winslow, member
of the Junior League and prom
inent in Civic theater productions.
Mrs. Winslow expressed a preference
for the picturesque but entirely i'm
practical trend in women's styles.
Il, like the fantastical, so the full
