III few days, it is very
apparent that Santa
- Claus was not the
only busy person during the hoI-
idays. That cute little chubby
fellow we call Dan Cupid GER
tainly had a busy week, and shot
his arrows with complete aband-
onment. A number of engage
ments have been announced,
some of them surprises, while
others were expected. Several
couples are publicity shy, while
others are happy to let friends in
on the good news. On Saturday
evening Miss Sara Dickerson en-
tertained a few friends. 1t was
time for Christmas presents to
be given and she had one for
each guest. They proved to be
engagement rings and the box
also contained the news of Miss
Florence Emily Hollis betrothal
to DIR. Robert Reed. Miss Hollis
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Hollis, of Denton. and is
a registered nurse at the Mil
ford Memorial Hospital. DR.. Reed
is the son of Mrs. G. T. Reed. On
Christmas night Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Shute were hosts to a
group of young people and the
announcement of the engage
ment of their daughter, Miss
Vivian jeanette Shute, to Mr..
Lawrence p. Isaacs, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Edgar F. Isaacs. of
Lincoln, was made. They have
set the time for their wedding
as in the spring. AS time goes ON
the other engagements will be
made known and promptly an
nounced.
d
An engagement, which will
interest their friends, is that of
Miss Anne Schwartz, and Mr..
Harry S. Shew, which was made
known on Christmas Eve at a
family dinner at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Schwartz, in Harrington. Miss
Schwartz is registered nurse
at the Milford Memorial Hospi-
tai. Mr.. Shew is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Louis Shew of Lincoln,
and is a member of the State
police. No date has been set for
the wedding.

So many parties were given
on Tuesday evening before, af-
ter or during the dance. 1t was
a lovely affair, attractive decora-
tions, and many guests from out
of town. Because of the limited
of bids, the floor was
not crowded and made dancing

ask your mothers forgiveness. Too
many children today lament the fact
that their mothers have passed on and
are not around to fuss over them or
be interested, yet here you are running
away. I'll admit that there are times
when mothers could be a little more
indulgent and see the child's side of
the story but your running away and
not letting her know where you are is
actually criminal and heartless. Whe-
ther you like it or not, she is your
mother and the only one you will ever
have. l am sure that this escapade of
yours has done much to show her what
your freedom from minute supervision
means to you and she will be more
than glad to listen to you, so, with
out moments delay go back home
and never let a day go by without in
some way letting her know that you
love her and are thankful that she is
still with you.

IT'S no secret as to who has been
4 chosen to play the part of lead
ing lady on the stage of fashion
during the early fall days-College
Girl is her name. To this impor-
tant parsonage all fashiondom is
paying homage at the present mo-
ment. On every side you are re-
minded that the idea is motivat-
ing to cater to the whims and ward
robe needs of the girl who is going
away to school.
The style program arranged for
Miss College Girl and her younger
schoolgirl sister fairly teens with
excitement. For instance, there is
the new hustle dress. The idea has
taken the collegiate set by storm.
The quaint hustle dresses that
grandmothers galvanized in as girls
in the '80s are actually proving
inspiration for frocks that the mod
ern girl will wear this fall.
The highpoints of these oldtime
silhouettes are being revived such
as waistlines of vanishing inches,
slim corseted midriffs and wide
back-swirling skirts interpreted in
novel hustle treatments but modi-
fed so cleverly they are made thor
oughly practical and wearable for
this day and age. Then there is the
new vogue that calls for a velvet or
velveteen jacket worn with a gay
plaided wool skirt or a contrasting or
matched solid color as fancy die
tates. The decided military air that
the new fashions take on is also a
big factor in the new mode and
most outstanding of all is the i'm
portance attached to fine materials.
These and other significant style
trends were revealed at their CLAM
orous best in an advance fall fash
ion revue staged by the Style Crea-
tors of Chicago. The three models
pictured were especially applauded
by the audience of visiting mer-
chants as fashions that are repre-
sentative of what the up-to-date
fashion-alert girl will be selecting
for her going away-to-school ward
robe.

shepherd check velveteen shown to

an attempted kidnapping of his white
employer and captured a white ex-
convict in a dramatic incident on a
downtown Birmingham street. Castor,
who has been commended by officers
for his cool headwork and courage,
driving his employer, Mrs. E. H. An

space, when a man, later identified as
A. D. (Pud) Porter, released from
Kilby prison week ago, threw open
the car door and leaped to the seat
beside Castor. keep driving or I'll
kill you. I'll kill you both. I'll blow
your brains out"
Castor continued to maneuver the
car, humping the car ahead, then the
car behind in order to attract atten-
ton. Then Caster brought the car to
a full stop. Mrs. Andrews opened the
door to jump out. The kidnaper
turned to stop her and in the flash of
an eye Caster had pinioned the kid
naper until police came and took him
away.

Widely flared evening skirts ap-
peared in stiff, outstanding satins,

Bustle Dress Now
Fashion Interest
inspiration Is Taken From
Modes of the '8O's.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

The versatility and resourceful-
ness with which designers are ham
ding the hustle theme calls for ad-
mlration. While the hustle mode,
so important this season, gets its
inspiration from the modes of the
Way-back-When eighties, the inter
probation given it by contemporary
style creators modernizes the theme
to the liking and acceptance of the
most exacting and conservative fol-
lowers of fashion.
To enumerate the endless ways
in which designers are handling the
situation is scarcely possible. The
story is best covered in stating that
the new styling calls for back full
ness achieved by clever manipula-
ton in the way of gathering at the
walstllne, inserting fan-shaped
pleats, adding peplum flares and
perhaps the most popular and SIM
plest method is the sash bow at the
back. And here's good news in re-
gard to the hustle bow, you can
buy dresses with detachable hustle
bows. Also, hustle bows are sell
ing at the ribbon counters.
The smartest dress at the moment
is the black gown that is styled with
a hustle silhouette which may be as
restrained as most discriminating
taste demands, rendering it perfect
Iy practical for general wear

a gay campus career. Its cunning
tunic bustleback and it's full circu-
lar-cut skirt gives it swank and dis
tinction such as collegiate fashion,
ables demand. It's red suede belt
supplies fetching dash of color.
Approval for the new bustle-back
dresses is assured for being inter-
preted in simple words, bustle-back
is merely way of saying ''back
fullness'' achieved in ingenious
ways that are conservative and
wearable without being overdone.
The suit to the right is very style
revealing, stressing as it does the
continued triumph in the mode of
richly colorful striped woolens. The
stripes, the plaids and the mar
velous artistry with which designers
combine them with monotones in re-
lated tone simply hold one spell
bound. The gorgeous striped wool
that fashions the costume suit keys
to the smartest fall colors, harmo-
nizing vibrant greens with luscious
blackberry tones. The skirt is all
around pleated. The boxy jacket
tops an emerald green velvet blouse
closing with novel key-and-keyhole
ornaments. An oversize quill tops
the moss green sailor hat.
You may expect to see gay little
velvet jackets dotted all over the
college campus. The girl conferred
in the picture wears a snug black
velveteen jacket quite military look
ing as so many of the newer FASH
ions are, with plaid pleated skirt
that introduces an artful blend of
grape, pink and yellow tones, eli
NAKED with a sweater in warm vel
low hues. Juniors, likewise college
sophisticates, simply dote on the
new plaids and stripes. A Scotch
cap of black velvet with satin rib
bon streamer, together with the
plaid carries the message that fash
ions for young folks have gone very
Scotch this season.

now that my vacation is over. Of
course, ! realize you must cook whe-
Their or not I take a vacation, but
somehow the thoughts of meals do not

hours after a round at The Minrow or
The Fat Man on The Hill. So with
your forgiveness let me give you a

during my days on Cape Cod.
The linguica and cummin seed which
are called for in these recipes may be
purchased either at grocery store in
Poruguese neighborhood or at an
Italian grocery store.
