CHAPTER EIGHT.

CHAPTER EIGHT.
The full-breasted figure usually
has large waist, too, and large
upper arms, comparatively slender
hips and trim ankles and wrists.
Now we told you to accent your
good points only when 1t could be
done without throwing bad points
into relief. So:
l. Wear nothing tight except ut
the wrists.
Because tight bodice will reveal
the bust and waist. And skirts tight
at the hips will throw the bust and
wa1stline into unwelcome relief,
making you look unhappily top
heavy.
Wear draped bodices so that the
fullness seems to belong to the dress
rather than to the figure itself.
2. Wear loose, finger-length
tuxedo or swagger jackets that
cup up the bust and waist.
The tuxedo or swagger lines will
reveal panel that conveys a most
flattering impression of the torso.
3. Wear long, flared skirts.
Such a skirt appearing below the
jackets described above will give the
required width at the base of the
silhouette.
It will take away the effect of
teetering on an inadequate under
pinning.
4. Wear lightish stockings.
Because you're proud of your
ankles.
Because light stockings add to the
"how firm a foundation" impression.
S. Wear narrow, rectangular
necklines.
They will help along the slender
izing effects Of the jackets.
6. Wear high heels.
They permit more skirt length.
7. Wear light colored vestees.
They will carry on with the mar
rowing effect below the neckline.
8. Raise the waistline as much
as possible.
This gives a youthful effect.
8. Shun belts.
Indicate the waistline with any
of the devices given for the plump
figure.
10. Wear darker colors above
the waist.
A dark jacket over a print &C.
compNshes this most effectively.
IL. Wear medium sized hat
with unswept lines.
Obviously a small hat will accent
the size of the bust.
And a large hat will contribute

CHURCH-COINC RECORD

The people of the United States, as
we have said before, are record-conscious
No matter what it may be, if an individual
can set record, he is sure to receive ac-
claim
This being true, we might as we'll
take some notice of the fact that Miss -Jen-
ME C. Powers, of Germantown, Pa. has
attended church services at the Westside
Presbyterian Church every Sunday morn
ing for the past sixty-four years and four
months.
The lady began her attendance when
one year old and when the church closed
during the influenza epidemic of 1918 she
went there every Sunday morning and
worshipped alone.
We doubt if anybody in Key West
can equal the record set by this lady but
we wonder who can come the nearest to it.
The editor will be glad to receive informa-
ton about individuals in this county who
have gone to church every Sunday for as
much as ten years. Maybe we will dis
cover the church-going champion of the
country.

GALA DAY FOR KEY WEST

November l will mark another mile
stone along the rocky road to Key West
rehabilitation. On that date Key West
Naval Station is to be formally reopened
for new naval operations. substantial
number of civilians has been added to the
navy yard payroll. Shortly many sailors
and marines will go into barracks there
These facts mean much to this relatively
small community.
1t is fitting, therefore, that the oc-
casion should be celebrated. A civic COM
mittee has been appointed to work out de-
tails of a suitable program The high
lights of the celebration will be purely
civic parade leading from the Naval Station
through the downtown section, and
public dance in Duval street between
Southland and Fleming streets.
From all indications it will be a very
colOrful parade and dance. Prizes are to
be awarded to children wearing the most
picturesque, the most humorous and the
most unusual costumes. They will be in
vited to appear in the Halloween regalia,
or in any other suit or dress that will add
life, variety, gaiety or color to the line of
march or street scene during the dancing.
Undoubtedly the merchants and citi-
Zens of the city will follow the suggestion
to decorate their premises with flags and
buntings. Store windows will be lighted,
the street lights will be kept on later than
usual. In short, Key West will don fes-
tive garb and show the sailors, marines
and soldiers on duty in Key West just what
their presence means to them.
One good suggestion has been adj
vanced to The Citizen. Why not invite
the former residents of Key West many
of whom were forced to move away when
1882, to return here November 1 to par
ticipate in the celebration?
Without doubt many of these former
residents will be glad to return here for a
day. They would grasp the opportunity
to participate in sort of Old Home Week
observance. The civic committee might
give this idea consideration and, if ap-
proved, issue a formal invitation to these
old residents to come on back here and
enjoy themselves.
Of course no one knows how long the
navy department will continue operations
here. The reopening of the yard was
brought about by navy need of handy
base from which to carry on a neutrality
patrol arising out of the emergency of the
European war and the presence of prowl-
ing submarines in this hemisphere. 1t is
to be hoped that the powers that be at
Washington will finally recognize the fact
that here in Key West is readymade
naval base from which to protect hostile
approach to the Gulf of Mexico through
Florida Straits or Yucatan Channel When
this fact is recognized and Key West is
given the attention she deserves there will
be real cause for rejoicing.

planning the celebration would

perimenting with distillate-using
engines and many West Coast
boats have used it for years. If
you are dubious try starting your
