PARIS STYLES
United Press Staff Correspondent

 Paris = (U.P0-Heim, the young Parisian furrier and couturier, has shown a wearable collection which promises to make fashion history. The high spot in this winter show ing is his new tailored evening suit which draws it's inspiration from a mans dress suit.
 Although patterned on masculine, tailored lines, these evening suits are feminine in appearance as they are fashioned of luxurious velvets and shimmering lanes which give them great formality. They consist of a floor-length skirt, frequently with added fullness in back or a demi-train, a tailored coat jacket and a sleeveless, backless blouse like the bodice of a formal even ing gown.
 Outstanding is a midnight cos tune in deep black velvet with a graceful, long and narrow skirt, slightly trained in back and long sleeved tailored jacket with touch of electric blue at the high neckline. The jacket is removed to reveal a formal evening costume with the long black velvet skirt accompan- fed by backless corsage of the electric blue. A small black velvet touue. surrounded with quills Of varying shades of blue, completes the midnight costume.
 For sports clothes, Helm mas drawn much of his inspiration from

hind him before MT. Montague opened it slightly, stuck his head out, and said, "Oh, by the way, Miss Dunn, I've nothing more for you this afternoon; why don't you go home?"
 Pleased to have most of the afternoon of, she hastened to leave; and 1t was not until she had got down to the lobby that she realized that Bobby would undoubtedly be anxious to see her as soon as he came out.
 "I'll just kill a little time in the shops, and then wait for him in the lobby" she thought. So she strolled out to the sidewalk - and found Sandy standing there, a straw hat tipped jauntily over one ear, smoking a cigaret. He dropped the cigaret, removed the hat, and sprang to her side.
 Well, now isn't this nice" he said. And me just hoping some- body like you would come wander ing out of there"
 Somebody like me? How much like me?"
 Oh" They were walking slowly along the sidewalk, and Sandy was almost imperceptibly guiding her to the curb. Just about your height with cornsilk-yellow hair like yours, and a neat blue suit with a little red scarf, and a go-to-the-dickens hat tugged down over one eye"
 He grinned, and stopped. She discovered tht he had led her to the door of his roadster. Hop in,' he said.
 T can't" she said. "I've - I've got to wait for somebody"
 "Oh, we'll just ride around for 10 or Is minutes and then come back. Come on."
 She found herself obeying, and before she could find another word to say the car had moved away from the curb and Sandy was guid- ing it through traffic.
 This isn't really a date, you know" he said.
 Isn't it?" .-
 My, no! I can't be having dates with woman that's practically en- gagged. Anyhow, it looks like I can't. Say, sister, when are you going to forget about that gag, any, how?"
 Tt sn't a gag"
 "Well, whatever it is. Those horses are getting lonesome for us already"
 That was a nice ride said Jean, Intentionally.
 Sandy chuckled.
 You mean to say youp're never going to have another with me?"
 
 She looked at him for a moment, and then instead of replying, looked away. They were out of the down. town district already, heading east along one of the through boule- yards. She looked at her wrist watch and turned again to Sandy with little frown.
 Sandy, take me back now. I told you I had to meet someone"
 What times your date for?"
 "Well, it isn't exactly a date-'

Today's Youth Is Careless Either my star was in the wrong "house" or else I am getting hyper critical, so I leave it to you to de- eide whether or not I had e right to be piqued recently when people failed me right and left. First came the affair of two ce- dar boxes had selected and paid for. When they arrived they were only one. No use filling up this space with the contortiops I had to go through to get that other box, the telephone calls, three ex- plantations to drivers who came out to check, at least four to the office and so on. Preached the stage when decided to have mimeograph cop- ies made to hand out to various in- vestigators. But I got the box. The clerk had made out the slip wrong. It took II days and much gasoline and wire charge to t1x up that "one" into a "two."
 Forgotten Assurances
 Sure, Mrs. Barton,' said the young teller, "I'll see that it goes in- to the afternoon mail and you will have it in the morning.
 Put a special on it." says I.
 That won't be necessary" says he.
 No check book in the morning mail and I had used the last. had to have another blank before noon. It was pouring cats and dogs. I put on my raincoat and goloshers and stood 20 minutes for car. A three- mile trip and I was in the bank. | I did not say g word to the for getter. He gave me one look, reached behind him, took the book with the memo off shelf and handed 1t over. While I was away from the house a friend on a cross coun- try trip had called but could not stay and missed her.
 One can stand such things if they do not pile up in 8 heap. However, I was not to be let off with two. The drug store sent down an order and left out the medicine most needed. That was on the same day as a bank affair. At Il that night went and got it myself. The next day the same store sent a package not intended for me. Said the clerk, T thing Dr So and So telephoned for it.
 Said I. Don't you know?"
 Said he, T think I have his name right"
 Said I, You'd better make sure and find out where it is to go. A life may depend on it."
 And More to Come
 Oh, no, I am not through. This space won't hold all the annoy ances I experienced in those few days. One I shall mention. I gave boy dollar to bring me some empty cartons to pack books awey. They did not come. That Saturday night. met him on the street.
 T couldn't find any," he said. "No one has any to spare"
 moved aside. Look I said. There behind me in an alleyway were piled the boxes had sal- vaged from the cellar of a busy store. I was waiting for 8 car to take me and them home. The store was next door to where he worked.
 What is wrong? Are young peo- pie all wool-gathering? Where are their minds? There is only one cor- rect way to do things. Why don't they learn concentration and accu- racy?
 Of course there are millions who are right on the job, careful and expeditions workers, but there are others, too. Is civilization and its settlements deteriorating the race9 Some days am certain that this IS the case.

 "Yes?"
 ssYou know why I'm going to try to do it, don't you?"
 "Why?"
 4Well if I can do it, and make a couple of thousand dollars, like MT. What's-his-name said :. . Jeany, vii you marry me then?" Bobby, I can't be wakened out of a sound sleep to be proposed to! If you want to see MT. Montague. call me up tomorrow and I'll see if I can fix it."
 "Okay. Good night, sweetheart"
 Good night"
 So the next day Bobby did call Jean. Only the fact that MT. Mon- tague always seemed to take a kindly, rather fatherly interest in her nerved her to try to make the engagement for him; but after 3 good deal of fumbling around she managed to persuade him to set an hour when Bobby could try his salesmanship on him.
 'Tell him to come in tomorrow about g." he said, smiling. I'm sure I don't know just what this : is all about, but if he's your boy friend I'll take a chance on him."
 She thanked him and, when she got a chance, called Bobby and gave him the news.
 "Wish me luck?" asked Bobby.
 'sWhy, of course"
 Thanks. And say, honey, how do you want the living room pap cred, anyhow? Personally, always liked a dark, plain paper, but if you want some of that light, figured stuff person sees so much of these days, why"
 Bobby Wallace, what are you talking about?"
 sWhy, our new apartment, of course the one we're going to have after MT. Montague buys these bonds off me-"
 '. Bobby, listen I'm not - don't rush me off my feet this way. told you I wasn't ready to marry anybody yet, and"
 aOh, all right. But if I ever get that money in my hands, the rush is going to be something terrible"
 When she hung up she stared at her typewriter and wondered what had made her say that. Only the day before she had insisted to Sandy that she was practically en- gagged" to Bobby; to-day, when Bobby mentioned the matter, she had reminded him that perhaps the engagement wasn't so very definite after all. Why did she seem to have an impulse to head Bobby off when he spoke of marriage?
 I'm still too young to get mar ried," she told herself doubtfully. Far down somewhere she heard her conscience jeering at her.
 The next afternoon Bobby pre- sented himself at the office prompt ly at 2. MT. Montague was busy, at the moment, and Bobby had to wait some IS minutes before he could get in; and the dor to MT. Montague's private office had hardly closed be-
