styles" says this famous designer.
But the only women who should
even notice such styles are those who
can do 1t with luxurious furs, costly
fabrics and a goodly supply Of enor-
nous jewels. Then when they've fol-
lowed this elaborate trend they must
have expensive cars to loll back In and
servants to wait upon them Such
styles are made for them and
only for them. And" he adds, this
class of women Is the smartest group
IN the world.
tine real fashions are those which
the average American working girl
can adopt. And if girls would realize
this and stay within their price range
they'd always be appropriately dressed,
according to their station in life"
Women ought to realize that shops
everywhere employ style experts who
study things out for them buyers
with adequate backgrounds do the
real worrying for the average woman
today"
In closing, this famous designer ex-
planned that screen clothes do and
should influence women regarding
their own styles. But bear In mind
the role that is played. If one of our
famous fiickers is playing the part
of wealthy girl on a rollicking vaca-
ton at the st. Moritz, it obviously is
not for the average young thing to
attempt to copy those fashions. Keep
your own station in mind when you
start borrowing ideas from screen
wardrobes. Then you'll be entirely
safe and the cinema fashions will have
done their bit for you"
I'd like to add my own notes to this
famous designers hints. The most
important point is know your lines.

farm roads, state highways, and
city streets, therefore

improvement of farm-to-market
roads in equitable proportion to
the improvement of state highways
and city streets.
2-Compile information on mate

practical needs of farm roads.
3-Assemble data on the expendi-
