SILHOUETTE TRENDS
FOR EVENING DRESS
By CHER1E NICHOLAS

Outside of that the pencil-slim
Directoire with its high slit skirt
and the revival of the Empress Eu-
genia, there is a definite tendency
in many houses to a Spanish type
of dress. This is usually marked
by 1founce ruffles. And one must
not forget the gently widened skirt
as evidenced also in the afternoon
clothes. The most startling bit OF
material used in this has been the
placing of various types of lace over
lame to give the firmness and stiff
ness required. One more skirt
and the silhouette can be settled.
That is the short front. This varies
from the graduation effect to those
cut off clear to the knees in front
to show a filrny petticoat of ruffied
net. A cross between this and the
Directoire are skirts which are cut
away like mans coat, to the knees
and then come down to the ground
at either side seam.

Daytime Footwear for Fall
Loses Rugged Sporty Look

Most daytime shoes have lost the
rugged, sporty look that formerly
characterized the appropriate foot
wear for tailored suits. Smart, soft
toed models, many of them made
with elastic insets and cores, mould
the foot trinity. Others, constructed
entirely of elastic leather, insure a
streamlined silhouette, unmarried by

Best of all, it is cut in one piece
from neck to hem so that you can
make it in practically no time at
all. The waistline is darted for
snug fit. You'll look and feel years

Look Slim and Sleek.
The newest fashions give you a
slim, sleek look even if you are
not blessed with a svelte figure.
The jabot model in the illustra-

the new thin woods and see how
you'll stand out in your crowd az

Humphrey takes to his heels and

M ISIS COLLEGE GIRL, Miss
AVA Debutante and matrons young
and not so young who being active
in social affairs need must "dress
up' to occasion, here's telling you
how to economically acquire that
air of elegance which fashion de-
mands for this fall and winter. No
matter how ungenerous your
clothes allowance may happen to
be you can have a whole collection
of lace "pretties" such as the
sketches here show at comparative
ly trifing cost. In fact the idea
that prompts this illustration, to-
gether with it's story, is to give you
pointers" on dressing smartly and
handsomely on limited allowance.
A touch of lace will do it! Trans
form your simplest demure and UNI
pretentious gown into costume OF
distinction. And now that we've
told you, the first step is either to
let your favorite dressmaker in on
the secret (show her til e e
sketches) or perhaps you prefer to
thriftily adopt the make it your
SELF course of action. Not that you
have to be an expert with the nee
die, for, provided with carefully Sc
lected patterns, there is no reason
why, if you can sew even little
bit, that you should not successfully
copy these charming fantasies. No
matter how many you make OF
these lovely lace items you can't
ever have too many.
Here's a word of friendly advice:
don't stint in getting the best type
laces for the finer and more ex-
quisite the lace you use in making
these dainty fashions the more con-
clusively will they carry message
of high-style prestige.
If you are clever and have a
knack of your own pattern will not
be necessary for the cape for it is
cut along simple circular lines.
However, a pattern similar to the
model shown should be easily avail
able. It has little tailored epaulet
effects on the shoulders and cum
ming wee buttons with tiny thread
crochet loops to fasten it down the

By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Dec. lin one of the
dullest sessions in months wheat prices
held 70 an unusually narrow range
today
During the first hour the difference
between the high and low in wheat
was only as cent. Prices were b-as
below yesterdays finish, and although
trade was light there was enough
buying to absorb scattered commission
house sales.
Traders attributed the dull marke,
to slowness of export demand for
wheat and to uncertainty as to Ar
gentine production. Irregularity in Sc
curities and quiet, steady whea,
market at Liverpool offered no incen-
tive to take action either way here.
Some selling was in sympathy with
weakness at Buenos Aires. Better
harvest weather was reported both in
Argentina and Australia. and there
prospects that increased quantities OF
Southern Hemisphere grain would be
available soon to importers.
Corn declined with wheat, failing to
receive any stimulus from further ex-
port sales estimated at 350, 900 bushels
overnight. Delivery of 835, 900 BUSH
els on December corn contracts in
cluded some retenders. Oats showed
little change, while rye eased frac-
tionally.

Costs OF living as applied to en-

next week by the new Conference
Committee recently created by the

Employer and employe spokesmen
on the conference have been asked
to submit tentative data on the budget
requirements of the workers at a

be based primarily on the SIT budget
fixed by the board for woman en-

there would be notifications in this

and returned, wearing badly torn
trousers, about 730 am. for the sad
task of looking for Taku's body.
But Taku was alive and came out
from under pile of burned furniture
which f1remen had stacked in the
kitchen, shivering with fear and cold.
Everything is all right now" Mr..
PEBBLES shouted as he seized Taku
and held her to him joyfully.
He explained that he was a con-
noisseur of Pekingese dogs and had
owned so or more, but that Taku
was the only one he had at present.

Resolutions on the merits Of the
unicameral system of legislature were
to be submitted today to q general
conference of the more than $50 local
and nearby high school delegates to
the fifth annual meeting sponsored by
the Department of Public Speaking at
George Washington University.
The resolutions were drawn up in

the group was divided to consider the
question after hearing addresses yes
terday from J. N Norton, who in 1913
made the original proposal for the
one-house Legislature now used in Ne
braska and who is now a member in
that body, and from John S. White,
a member of the lower house in the
Maryland legislature.

Mr.. Norton asserted for the one
house system that 1t is more respon-
sible, more democratic, and based on
simple representation. In q two-house
system, he pointed out lobbyists have
two opportunities TO block legislation
and need only majority Of the
smaller body to do so. 1t Is much
harder to get such q majority in q
unicameral system, he declared.
The trend is away from the two
house system" he said, and now

Speaking for the two-house system,
Mr.. White said that in the last an
alysis, 1t is the makeup of the in
divldual legislators that counts, wheth-
er they are put in one room or two.
He went on to say that the bicameral
system, established in England $40
years ago in the De Montford Parlia-
ment, has age and dignity to recon-
mend it.
Its the most democratic and the
most adequate method" he said, land
that's why it is still used in 47 States. 4"

close with luncheon at the Nav

Senator Josh Lee of Oklahoma was
