LIVING. COST down;
PAY DROP GREATER
Workers Earned 70 Cents In
December Compared to
Dollar In 1928. .,

A survey made by the Consumer
Counsel Of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration shows that living costs In
December for the family Of the average
low-salaried worker were 81 per cent
less than in 1923, but that at the same
time the factory workers earnings were
down 80 per cent.
In other words, for every dollar 1t
cost workers to live in 1928 1t cost
them 79 cents last December, while for
every dollar Of earnings In 1928 the
factory worker earned 10 cents In the
last month Of 1888.
Factory Wages Up.
Living costs for the entire year OF
1888 were II per cent Of the 1923 level
and ! per cent lower than the 1882
average for the wage earner's family.
Average earnings Of the factory worker
during 1888 were 81 per cent of the
1928 level and l per cent lower than
the average wage for 1882.
Factory wages in December we're 2
per cent higher than in June, while
living costs were increased 1 per cent
IN the same period.
Increase in Workers.
It is pointed out that factory work
ers form just one Of the many groups
of employed workers. 1t is explained,
moreover, that for every 100 workers
employed in factories in 1928 only SO
had factory jobs in 1888. The latter
represented an increase from "a in
1882.
Asserting that for the country in
general the money going into pay rolls
is more important than what each in
dividual worker gets. the Consumers
Counsel reports that in December
nearly one-third more was paid out in
factory pay rolls and one-fifth more
people had employment in factories
than in December, 1882.

points of interest. Particularly In the

currance proves the need Of hearing
more opera.
Although time allowed for hearing
the first two acts only 1t was enough
to feel that in Miss Brancato a new
singer Of unusual gifts has appeared.
With lovely voice. high. free and Of
sweet quality, she has something on
which to build a notable career. She
can also be praised for her acting

Window treatments as a
whole are a little simpler than
they have been. And that
means that fabrics must be love-
lier, more suitable to the win
dows, generally better looking.
There's quite vogue for
straight effects in contemporary
rooms. Often the windows are
simply yelled in stunning
sheer material which may range
all the way from marquisette
to pongee.
Sometimes there are no sheer
curtains or glass curtains at all,
but merely heavy straight drap-
cries that can be drawn at night
to look like a wall and SINH
lar draperies may make wall

Venetian Blinds Smart
The under or glass curtains
are often discarded these days
when Venetian blinds are used,
porbably because we are so very
fond of our new Slat-like blinds,
and want them to show. . some
times because the addition of
curtains would give too fussy
look. Classic or period rooms
have their windows done in
pretty much the same ways that
have always been done, though
there are new fabrics out which
inspire decorations to different
treatments.
Both glass curtains and over
draperies may be caught up by
cords, and the more graceful
and dramatic you make them
in a graceful or dramatic room,
the better they are. If you're
striving for a simple or restful
effect, then you had better let
them hang straight.
Use Pattern With Care
Pattern in your glass curtains
is smart and desirable if you
haven't any draperies, but pat
tern in both is too much unless
your glass curtains have only a
fine check, a net effect or a
weave that will not vie with the
pattern of the draperies. Gn-

Lower heels are one of the
newest ideas, and a good many
women are taking them up. I
really believe most of the preju-
dice against them as far as
looks go is gone. Women no
longer mind wearing low heels
on the street, and do not con-
slider them unbecoming. A few
women hesitate to take them
up, however, in the belief that
the change in heels might be
uncomfortable or bad for their
feet.

CeIIophone Is
Used in
Lace

In every collection of the haute
couture we find evidence of the
femininity and chic of lace for
the evening or as trimming on
afternoon clothes. It is natural
that lace should have been a
favored medium of design among
the Paris dreSSmakerS this year,
for never before have lace looms
produced such a variety of types
or lacemakers been so success
full with their experiments to
find something new.
PailletteS
1t is always interesting to fol-
low up the choice of the coutur.
iers in preparing their collec-
tons to find out whether smart
women-the clients-find the
same novelties interesting. Star
ella, a new genre of lace intro
duced this season by Dognin, has
been enthusiastically received
by creator and client. This is
lace made on a chantilly or
fantasy tulle ground, with pail
letteS woven into the material.
The advantage of this treatment
is obvious the paillettes
cannot catch on things and tear
off, and a new beauty is added
to the pattern by these luminous
discs.
Another happy discovery in
lacemaking is the use of cello
phane threads to outline and
emphasize patterns. These
threads are put in by hand,
chez Dognin. The cellophane
against the mat background
gives a gala touch and a crisp
ness to the material that sug-
gests silhouettes and treatments
not usually associated with
lace gowns. Worth does a par
ticularly nice dress in this type
of lace, dyed the new brown
purple called "pruno." Robert
Piquet cuts an evening dress
very low front and back, then
adds modest touch with fan
like ruche of cellophane lace
that reaches the throat. In the
same class of stiffish laces is
the one woven with erin, usually
made in small all-over designs,
and used for whole dresses or
for trimmings.
New Tulles
The family of tulles, which is
enjoying a particular success
this season, has two new mem
berS - TULANE and Tulsport,
both from Dognin. The first is
fine tulle weave, in wool, with
a surface like duvetyn. 1t is the
natural choice for afternoon
dresses, cocktail frockS, and the
tailored evening clothes of
which there are so many this
season. Tulsport is woven the
same way, but has a flatter sur
face and a frosty look due to
the addition of rayon threads.
Lace, too, for the beautiful
lingerie that almost any woman
will tell you is the thing she
likes best to buy in Paris. Here.
where new cuts are discovered
and new colors are launched,
smart lingeres, like Olga Hi
trovo, are using borders and in
Sertions of malines lace repro
duced by Dognin from precious
old handmade laceS. MalineS
is the finest type of lace that
can be done by machine. Every
thing about this lace is delicate

Even zippers appear on shoes.
Ghillies are still in favor,
though are not as good as they
were.
Oxfords are by far the most
popular type, though there are
some good pumps, and some
good strap shoes. There are
many leather heels, and even
when they aren't really low,
they are considerably lower
than they have been heretofore.
