UNCERTAIN"
It has been said often that no
stairs are so hard to climb as
those in another's house. True,
even if the house is your child's.
If you were dependent and IN
capable of earning, it would be
easy enough to suggest helping
out the invalid daughter-in-law.
But for an able-bodied woman,
happy in her work and earning
a comfortable living, to quit seems
most unWiSe. You would be giving
up q comparative certainty for
an uncertainty.
A good many older women have
written to this column. telling of
awful experiences after giving up
comfortable positions to live In
their children's homes.
INDEPENDENT
Despite the fact that good hard
cash has often gone with them,
their position is more or less that
of a dependent. In the average
American home, Junior and Sissy

mere sheaths they were. Many OF
them had no waiStline at all, and
those that boosted of one, put 1t
down around the hips. Women
like those clothes because they
made no demands on the figure.
You could have awaiStline that
was simply straight up and down,
YOU could and often did have an
extra tire that was disgracetul,
but that long bodice covered it all
up. Remember the hue and cry
when waistlines began to show?
Gentle Descent
To return to skirts, the designers
had quite problem on their
hands in the way of getting people
used to the idea of longer hem
lines. They didn't dare present
them quickly, for the idea would
have been dropped right there.
Louiseboulanger was the pioneer.
She introduced a drastic gown
one with the skirt almost to the
floor in the back. but short in
front, right up to the knees.
Beatrice Lille was the first per-
son I ever saw wearing one. She
was not nearly as well known then
as she is now. She had on
gorgeous black taffeta with the
wide hemline lined in blue, and
blue somewhere about the gown.
The skirt was very full, knee
length in front, to the floor in the

back. Revolutionary! None but
the talented Miss Lille could have
gotten away with it, everyone said.
Cautious Rise
Well, now skirts are on the way
up, and they are going through
similar stages. Mainbocher has
designed a stunning black satin
gown with a panel of red down
the back, and the hemlines falls
in points. This gown is already
here in Washington, and we will
try to get a photograph of it for
you within the next few days.
Chanel is designing full-skirted
gowns, the skirts short in front
and long in the back. You are
familiar already with the shorter
evening gowns which enjoyed
quite a little popularity this
spring in New York, and a few
of them were worn here.
IL GUM w
To make our final point we will
quote the crisp lines from Har-
per's Bazaar for this month. They
say: lines are shifting. Skirts are
still rising. There isn't a static
hem in Paris. Schiaparelli fits
skirts tightly about the torso and
then lifts them bluntly up in
front. Mainbocher hikes them in
Jagged points. Many dresses still
skim the floor, but they skim it
more definitely, and it is not I'm
usual to glimpse the ankle-bone."
So you might as well get your
mind ready for short evening
gowns. Let's hope that the dirndl
influence will keep them full. and
that we will not return to the
sheathS of the dismal 1920s.
Skirts that are full are much
gayer, more graceful. generally
speaking. But whatever the lines,
short skirts are coming!

berries and cream, or fresh

orator for days and sliced off and

First Bad Accident in IA Years for Canadien Star;
 Mantha Scores 4 Goals
(By United PresS)

The Montreal Canadiens, leaders of the international division, lost the services of their veteran for ward, Howie McrenZ, for the rest of the season today. He fractured his leg in two places above the ankle last night in the game with the Chicago Blackhawks.
 Morenz crashed into the boards before the game was two minutes old. It was Howie's first ambulance ride in IA years of national league campaigning.
 Close Game
 The flying Frenchmen went on to defeat the Hawks, 6-5, with young George Mantha setting a sea- son record for point scoring. He shot four goals and assisted in an- other. La Rochelle hit the wicket for Chicago three times. The victory placed the Canadiens 12 points above Montreal.

Hill Juniors And
 Gents aired; Robins VSWelleS

Although the results of tonights games will have no bearing on the standing in the senior league of the Washington Park Community house, fans are expecting two ma turals" which should provide a cen- ter for their interest throughout. The preliminary, in which the Hill Juniors meet the Gents of the Hill is being boosted as the closest of the two jousts, for 1t pairs teams composed of players who have as- sociated over a period of several years and naturally the extra riv- airy exists. This game will start at 7:30 and be followed by a match featuring the Claire Co-Eds and the Plainville Girls.
 In the main tilt of the night the Robins will stack up against the Welles. Both these teams had rather poor starts but toward the finish of this round started to give evidence that they would figure prominently in the next round.
 Now that the Raymond Hillies have won the championship of the first round, all eyes are pointing to the beginning of the second round next Monday night. Closer compe- tition is expected due to the addi- tional experience and practice ses- sions of the contesting teams. Mon- day nights games will see action between the Gents of the Hill and the Robins, and the Tribunes against the Baldwin Props.

TABLE TENNIS PLAY DEVELOPS INTEREST

The K. of L. club dominated the second games in the city wide table tennis tournament played last night at the Chase Park house. In addi- ton to the Knights, St. Joseph's Holy Name society was outstanding in the three man competition. Ray Phaneuf, of the Citizens National bank combination was the best in- dividual performer of the night.
 The Knights scored clean victor ies over St. Ann's, and the Boys club while the Holy Name outfit topped Bert Warner and the Conn. L. & Power Company and the In- dependents. The Chase Park team also won both matches against the Indees and the University club.
 More tournament games will be played next Thursday night and on that evening each week for the re- mainder of the season. Plans are now in progress for state tourna- ment to be played here.
