with very low-cut line at the back Is
characteristic of the majority Of the
newest evening gowns. The velvet
theme is accented in the gloves which
are OF this samoa thoroughly modern
dinner gown this, in the strictest
sense of the word.
The gown to the right in the pic
ture is one of those adorable lace crea-
lions which add infinitely to feminine
charm. Lelong gives this model out
standing distinction in that the lace is
in the new and lovely wild blackberry
shade and is of cobweb delicacy. Also
the movement which places fullness
at the back through cascades of the
lace is very important, for the latest
imports stress fanciful back treat
ments. Again we see the higher neck
line at the front sloping to waistline
depth at the back. AS to lace as a
medium for dressy dinner gowns and
dance-party frocks too much en-
phasis cannot be placed upon its high
style standing.
The enhancing frock centered in the
foreground is of cleaning, scintillating
brocaded silver lame. for. as we init
mated before, metal weaves abound In
the realm of evening materials We
may expect to see more beautiful gold

fabrics this season than usual In fact
the glittering note resounds through
out the entire evening dress program.
Schiaparelli here interprets the new
bateau neckline combined with a low
back, and of course being formal this
dress has a train.

They are called chin flowers because
you wear them right close up under
the chin. They really began as an
evening novelty and as such serve ad-
mirably in adding pretty touch to
the new high-in-front necklines which
so many of the smartest metal cloth
and other rich fabric formal gowns
feature. The favorite type for wear
with these dressy night creations is
the enormous velvet poppy which Is
positioned right up under the chin.
However, the attractiveness Of this
fashion has led to flowers being posed
in similar manner on daytime frocks.
At the top, in the picture, the young

autumn and winter social season Is
just like that-trending toward an era
of grande dame modes the equal of
which have not been beheld for many
a decade past.
Not only are fabrics, laces, jewelry,
furs and all such elegancies which go
to make for formality of the most
luxurious sort this season, but the very
stateliness of the>n new silhouette lends
itself impressively to the scene In
this era of splendor for the evening

sheath-fitting gowns which dare to

a sufficient distance below the knee,
can impart.
If there is one requisite more than
another which a program of elegance
in dress calls for. it is that the fabrics
employed be as beautiful as looms and
hand-weaving can make them. Which
is eminently true in regard to the love-

enchanting laces and the scintillating
metal cloths which are clarifying the

BRUSHES IN BEAUTY SCHEME

brush. These brushes are Important
accessories toward good grooming and
as you value personal loneliness ada
these beauty aids to your toiletries.
And keep them busy, too.
Now let us see what the requisites
for the hair brush are: it should have
long, flexible bristles, not too soft or
the purpose (of stimulating the circu-
lation through the scalp, cleaning and
polishing every strand of hair) is de-
feated. On the other hand, the
bristles must not be too stiff or they
will irritate the scalp. AS in all
things the happy medium is preferable
in the matter of brush bristles.
Harsh bristles should be avoided
whether in hair brush, clothes brush,
nail brush, etc. Such bristles are I'M
kind to scalp, clothes and hands. rms
holds for complexion brush too. In
fact, such a brush is only for the
woman with an oily or heavy type OF
skin. When using it, the movements
should be gently upward and outward.
Remember that the skin can be soaped
and cleansed, without scrubbing or
harsh treatment.
The tooth brush we need not go
into. Your dentist is the logical one
to advise the type of brush you need.
But here again medium bristles are
advisable for the majority of people.
and remember that the bristles should
be so arranged that every tooth and
every part of the mouth can be
thoroughly cleansed. Every dentist
win tell you that two tooth brushes
are better than. one-and every man,
woman and child should own two and
alternate them.

THE CLEAN LOOK

EVERYWHERE you go in health and
IL beauty circles you hear great
deal about 'that clean look"
The phrase is becoming as popular
as sure-fire wisecrack or first seller
in slogans. It refers to much, much
more than superficial cleanliness. It
points to perfection and polish.
Some time ago in the course Of a
beauty lecture I referred to shat
clean, crisp look"
/ said two things were necessary to
achieve it. Perhaps my audience ex-
pected me to say: Soap and brushes.
But had reference to: Respect for
ones self and respect and thoughtful
ness for those around us. And again
/ repeat that I do not mean merely
bathing or washing face and hands.
These are important-very important
yes. But they are elementary,
fundamental take 1t for granted
that every woman has made habit of
bathing every day and keeping her
skin clean.
But that clean, crisp look goes fur
ther. 1t includes brushing the hair.
The woman who can boast that clean
look never has her hair disheveled.
Every strand and wisp is in place.
For trimness and neatness go with
that clean look. Your couture may be
deliberately intriguing or very SIM
pie. The arrangement does not mat
ter-at least it is secondary in i'm
portance to a neat, "always-in-place"
) arrangement which is another way of
saying "that clean look"
Brows must be brushed too. They
are an important factor in the per-
feet picture. And If little wild hair,
here and there decides to march back
ward or out Of line it must be dis
ciplined. If brushing won't help-then
pluck. But, mind you, pluck only the
unruly hairs, for natural brows are
now the vogue.
A clean, clear complexion is an
other important factor. Discolorations,
ofliness, shine, blackheads or erup-
lions all take something away from
shat clean look"
Well-kept hands, perfectly groomed
nails come in for their share of at
tention too.
AS for othes-buttons should be
where they belong, stocking seams
straight, heels kept in repair and shoes
polished, suits and coats brushed free
from dust. and lingerie touches al
ways fresh and dainty.
Even makeup when properly applied
adds to that clean look.

Another continuance was re- quested today in the cases of three local business men charged with receiving stolen goods and the case of a woman accused of blackmail. Both cases are linked in several ways and though chances at pres ent are more removed than a week ago, there are yet possibilities of q flare-up that may add few more angles to an already complicated case.

 When it is stated that there are more accidents in pleasant than in unpleasant weather, 1t must be said at once there is more pleasant weather through the year than stormy weather.
 More accidents happen in rain than in snow and there is more rain than snow. More accidents oc- cur when pavements are wet than when they are icy and there are
