RUFFLES OF 1860'S
INSPIRE PARTY FR0CKS
Dinlities, Voiles and Organdies of
Maud Muller's Day Re-
turn in Paris.

PARIS CP.-Frocks which Paris has
designed this year for garden parties
and outdoor teas have drawn their in
spiration from the sophisticated sixties.
Sprigged dimities, candy striped
voiles and sheer organdies Of Maude
Muller's day are the fabrics Of the
mode A number of them are made
with skirts which almost touch the
ground, finished with the ruff1ed tiers
in vogue 60 years ago.
Big picture hats of milan or leghorn
straw. crocheted lace mitts or gloves
and abbreviated jackets add to the pic
ture which recalls the sixties, while a
demure manner and subdued makeup
put the finishing touches to the mode.
One of the glamorous afternoon cos
tunes is made of white muslin sprin-
kled with tiny blue blossoms. The hat
to wear with it is dropping leghorn
trimmed with blue velvet ribbons which
end in short streamers, while its jacket
is a little elbow sleeved design Of blue
velvet
For the woman who wants q less
frivolous tea party frock, Paris has
produced more modern designs. One
of them is of dull black crepe with a
simple close-f1tting skirt eight inches
from the floor.
Another is Of gray flamisole, de-
signed with a sleeveless frock and a
waist-length cape to match, and worn
with a big black milan hat Of merry
widow proportions.

One Product Is Work ofHundreds

\h/HEN you step into grocery store and
W purchase . can Of condensed milk for
around Is cents, you have bought the product
Of the labor Of hundreds Of men and women
in various widely separated parts Of the world
For instance, there is the milk ITSELF. II a
typical condensary in New York State might
be taken as an example, the milk is produced
In an upstate community. The cows providing
the milk are fed grains from Middlewest and
cottonseed meal from the South In addition to
their natural fodder. There must be counted
IN the men who produced the grain and cotton,
who manufactured the raw product into the
feed, who transported it from its natural state
through the various processes and sales until
it eventually reached the farmer using 1t for
supplemental feed.
The farmer in handling his milk perhaps
used utensils manufactured in New York from
tin imported from Great Britain and copper
shipped from the Rockies. The manufacturing
of these utensils perhaps obtained their power
from coal produced in Pennsylvania.
When the milk is taken to the condensary,
scores of employees take some part In the
various processes, which involve machinery
from many parts Of the country manufactured
from raw materials from many other parts.
During the course of the condensation sugar
from Cuba may be added to the milk for the
sweetening. Cotton from the South and hemp
from the Philippines likely were employed In
the manufacture of the bags holding the sugar.
When the milk is ready to be filled, 1t Is
put in tin cans, the cans tracing back TO the
tin Of Britain again. The tins were received in
wooden cases, the original timber coming from
a variety of sections producing pine.
After the cans are filled, they are labeled by
a machine manufactured in Baltimore, per-
haps which employs glue produced IN Della

Hey, wait q minute" Nap said, don't think
you're going TO get out OF seeing my picture. I

with the tickets out OF his pocket and handed
them 10 me. II thought maybe you and Joe
might &C, or anybody else you want, of course"
Ten dollars, they cost him. Gee, Nap was
certainly darned regular. kind Of felt like
bawling. Say, II that boy could make the DANES
who saw him on the screen feel like he made me
feel. he was set! And guess I'm no different

Maps opening. We stood around outside watch
ing for awhile and, believe me, 1t was worth
seeing. There were so many lights that it look
ed like daytime instead Of night. All the stars
were wearing gardenias-ropes of them. It

Like q hot-house.

been couple of hundred people in it.

The picture-well it was all about the small
town boy who goes to the city and drives a
taxicab and finally becomes the heavyweight
champion of the world and, because he has
been studying all the time and improving his
mind, he goes into politics and becomes the
only honest politician In existence at that
time and he reforms the city and then the
State and finally you get the idea that he's
about to reform the United States, but it
doesn't actually show that part. of course.
And then, there's girl he meets when he's
champion who almost makes him forget his
career. but the girl he met while he
driving taxicab has become reporter on
high minded newspaper and she saves him from
the high-powered blonde and then this re-

and that's the end
