permission to take machine

owned by Elzear Matteau of South
Main street.
The mistake was quickly discov-

Last week we discussed colors
and fabrics for early spring.
Many women like to buy their
lnid-Season clothes now, so that
they can get the most out of
them through the end of win
ter, and the first spring weeks.
It is well therefore to review
the fashion details that are i'm
portant, that will distinguish
these new dresses, SO that they
will look as smart in two or
three months as they do now.
For trends move slowly, and
the things that are just reach
ing us now will be popular fash
ions by the height of the spring
season.
Lines Still Long
The silhouette is practically
unchanged, remaining long and
slim, with skirt fulneSs placed
low if it appears at all. Mos
of the story hangs on sleeves
and necklines. and it Is in these
two important places that the
individuality of the dress is
achieved. There are small de-
tails that will make a dress
look entirely different from last
years frocks. and that you can
count on to remain in good
fashion throughout the season.
In making your own clothes,
look for these details in pat
terms, for all the things we are
suggesting can be found in cur
rent pattern books.
Necklines Higher
Necklines are still often V
shaped, but are varied from the
simple V. They may be draped,
and many times the soft ma
terial is crossed over and

To Stress Character
A number of alert,minded pas

ton that could be adapted to
their major church program.
They have felt this opportunity

be incorporated in the teaching
sessions of the church school and
young peoples societies; his fine

sized in the social activities OF
the church and parish.

might be adaptable to any local
church. The Washington Herald
and Washington Times offer a
prize of $40 to the pastor. direc'
tor of religious education, or Sun
day school superintendent, of any
church, who will construct the
best program.

lated to the historic dates in the
calendar. It should be integrated
with Sunday services. the edu>a-
tiOnal program of the church and
school and young peoples organ
izations. 1t should provide for
midweek social and dramatic oc-
casions. The program need not
