Fancy turns to the southern-belle
type of dress for evening wear.
Here is a charming specimen of the
quaint and picturesque type that is
proving such general favorite. 1t
is made of silk taffeta in a delec-
table soft-toned medium blue.
Young girls are showing a prefer
ence for sprightly taffeta and they
love the way the little puff sleeves
stand up in lively taffeta manner.
Square necklines are much in evil
dence this season. This one is ac-
cented with rhinestone and enamel
flower pins and there is a match
ing bracelet.

GLOVES TO MATCH
YOUR SPRING SUIT
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Cloth gloves to match spring suits
are the latest news from Paris. An
extra piece of material, ordered
when the suit is bought, can be
made up in any size or style, short
or with deep gauntlet cuffs. Square
fingertips are another innovation.
The finger may be stitched at sides
and straight across the top, giving
casual, out-of-doors look, especial
ly popular in gloves of doeskin or
channels.
Half finger gloves, which made
their appearance last winter in the
guise of lace mitts to go with gowns
of the southern belle type, are now
an established vogue. They are
shown in pigskin and chamois for
sports wear, and in suede for dress.
The gloves extend as far as the
finger-joint, revealing brightly pol
ished nails. Very convenient when it
comes to picking up a dropped coin,
fitting key or writing out check.
Polish in cardinal or burgundy
may be worn to match or contrast
with the gloves.
Further independence in glove
fashions is exhibited in the uncon-
ventional treatment of seams along
the back of the hand. These vary
from two or three seams running
across instead of up and down, to
one crosswise seam with two short
ones in the usual direction.

lust one dazzling, color-gloried
- silk print after another is what's
happening in the fabric realm this
season. The new prints are more
fascinating than ever, and try to re-
sist them and do you? You do not.
The urge for another and another
in your wardrobe ever keeps on
keeping on.
To add to the excitement, couturi-
er and dressmaker are devising
ways of making up these silks that
are so artful and fraught with such
high-pressure novelty the world of
fashion is being cast into new throes
of enthusiasm every time a style
parade of last-minute costumes is
staged.
A favorite treatment is pleating
and when you pleat printed silk you
multiply the beauty and intensity
of its coloring to thrilling degree.
The all-around pleated skirt is a
favorite topic with designers who
are styling the new gowns of silk
print. Even if you are making your
dress yourself it is a good idea to
have the skirt pleated, and it is
almost a certainty that you will be
pleased with results. The charm
ing dinner dress to the left in the
picture is fashioned of a water col
or print silk crepe with separate
jacket and pleated skirt.
Another dressmaker treatment
adding untold interest to print en-
sembles is the self-print lining. To
achieve a maximum of practically
and variability these coats with
Innings matched to the print of the
frock are made reversible. You
turn them inside out and vice versa.
See the idea nicely worked out in
the model conferred in the group.
The silk print is highly colorful and
the monotone cloth of the coat re-
peats the background tone of the
print.
Then there is this reigning vogue
of the bolero. Dressmakers and de-
signers are turning out the bolero
frock of silk print in vast numbers.
You'll love print silk bolero frock.
Flattering it will prove to be and
practical. See the model to the right
in this group. Here is bolero frock

Free Bread Since 1856

Free bread was distributed to
nearly 100 widows and fataerless
children at st. Ives, Eng, as de-
creed in the will made in 1856
by Robert Langley. While return

chester, travelling along the River
Ouse, Langley was caught in a
snowstorm. He was saved from
drowning by hearing the bells of

the bequest as a mark of thankful

"A ed that for a couple to keep
eighty-two various animal pets in
one apartment is too many-maybe
not for the couple, but for the neigh
bors-yes!
That reminds me that once, in
hotel in the Middle West-not such
a large hotel either-I found fully
that many pets in my bed. They
weren't assorted enough; they all
belonged to one standard variety.
I shall not name the hotel, but it
was the worst hotel in the world, as
of that year. If bad hotels 60 where
bad folks do, it's now the worst hotel
in Hades.
But the point I'm getting at is
that, though eighty-two animals
may make surplus in a city fiat,
they couldn't possibly upset home
so much as one overstuffed husband
who's puny and has had to go on a
strict diet such as would be suitable
for a canary-if the canary wasn't
very hungry.

ment of a local literary figure who,
after years of concentrated effort,

out once using a word containing
the letter "E." If the fashion
spreads to the point where the cap
ital ''I" also should be stricken out,
it's going to leave lot of actors
and statesmen practically mute.
But that's not what I started out
to say when began this squib. What

of much longer novels which have

F'rinstance, the big celebration in
New York in 1889 ostensibly will
mark George Washington's inaugu-
ration as President $50 years be-

mentioned in the opening ceremoni-

combining the colorS of the TInion
