especially pretty frocks, when
you have full social calen-
~ dar. Here is one that you
can make quickly, and wear
proudly to luncheon, bridge and after
noon tea, feeling you are dressed
to the occasion.
The simple silhouette remains one
of the most significant for daytime
wear. At the moment, there is a
continued preference for the smooth
shoulder line, the nodded hip and a
general air of straight-line slender
ness.
Our sketch shows a black frock

The effect you get from the pattern
depends largely upon the choice of
a good material. The pattern is con-

which the veriest amateur will be able
to carry out successfully An in
genious collar of satin, or lame, is
manipulated in a way that suggests
both a yoke and a jabot. The touch
is charming one, and makes the
easiest and simplist finish possible.

comfortable chairs and small spindle

Knowing him as I did I had not
been altogether surprised I could
well imagine how bitterly he must
have resented the unpleasant pub

relationship, and how anxious he must
have been to dissociate himself in
every possible way from man ac-

are, in order of Importance, Paul
Runyan, Tommy Armour and
Johnny Goodman.
Runyan Money Player"
According to many excellent golf
authorities Runyan is the most
dangerous man of the tourney. He
gets fairish distance off the tee, but
is not long hitter. Merton re-
quires placing rather than length.
Merton also asks for miraculously
controlled short approach shots,
and Runyan has bag full of
them.
Runyan was the big money win
ner of the grapefruit circuit and
this is his first big test since he
forged himself into the front down
south. Armour gets whole lot of
notice almost solely because Sara
zen says he ought to. Armour &C
tually has been below par in the
several practice rounds played this
week, although Tom has turned in
cards totaling Y and better.
Goodman Confident
Goodman will be watched because
he's the defending champion. John
offered some doleful predictions as
to his chances when he came back
from Europe on Monday, but he
changed his tune once he had
played practice round or two.
Now all Goodman asks is a better
than average share of the breaks.
This is one of the most heavily
gambled Journeys in recent years.
Bookmakers are doing a rushing
business. One bookie offered even
that 288, two strokes above
the limit, would not be good
enough to win and he has covered
a lot of bets.
One round of eighteen holes will
be played by each of the $50 con-
testants today and another is listed
for tomorrow. Then there will be
an elimination with the low sixty
and ties going into a thirty-siX-hole
scramble on Saturday.
incidentally, there is another even
money bet-that there will be a tie
with playoff on Sunday. In fact
most of the experts agree the most
likely developments are a winner by
five or six strokes, or a two-three-
or-four- place tie.
