Of these guests, formal or Informal,
are heard with closest attention and
there usually develop round table
discussions which furnish all con-
cerned with clearer understanding
OF what specific situations demand
for safer and mere expeditions
movement of trafic in city streets
and nearby highways.
On matters of serious moment the
Keystone Board registers its opinion
and recommendations by formal res
olution, sometimes memorializing
the agencies specifically in authority.
If its deliberations are inconclusive
and it is felt certain matters should
be more thoroughly explored, special
committees are named to investigate
further and report at a subsequent
meeting. In this manner club policy
is Systematically determined and
once each year it is published In the
form of the Keystone Platform.
In addition to receiving the
various services conducted by the
club, Keystone members participate
in board meetings to a growing de-
gree through communications which
are given it's consideration. When
ever a member writes to the club
and the practice is earnestly en-
couraged-and his or her complaint
or suggestion about a traffic matter
is of sufficient significance to trans
cend routine Office handling, it Is
brought before the Advisory Board
for action. In this way members
are assured of actual participation
in steps looking toward greater pro-
lection of life and property in street
and highway throughout this area.
Numerous traffic reforms and i'm
provements which were advocated
by the Keystone Automobile Club
bear eloquent testimony to the effec-
tiveness with which its Advisory
Board functions.
Another Sunday we will deal with
still a different organization, the
Advisory Board of the District
Motor Club of the American Auto
mobile Association, whose activities
in some ways parallel the work Of
the keystone Club. All three, the
Council and the boards of the two

ing on every subject. work in whole
hearted cooperation for the best
interests OF the city.

BY BARBARA BELL,

A season like this, which exalts
curves and makes much of the fem
mime effects, is grand season for
those of you who wear larger sizes.
Take full advantage Of 1t! Be sure
that your clothes are not only smart,
but supremely becoming. Make
them yourself. so that the fabrics
and colors will be just right, and
they'll fit perfectly. You can cre-
ate practically a whole wardrobe
with the designs here sketched: they
are backbone fashions, the indis-
pensable types that you wear con-
stantly. Each is easy to make, with
a minimum of detailing and that
detailing all planned to emphasize
height and detract from width. A
step-by-step sew chart is included
in each one. You'll find in our
new spring and summer fashion
book a wealth of new dresses that
are beautifully slenderizing. Why
not send for it, when you order
your pattern?
A lovely basic type, that you can
accessorize with flowers, brooches or
clips, design No. 1907-B, is char
acterized by a soft simplicity that
makes it ideal for afternoon, yet not
too dressy for general wear. Gathers
on the sleeves, darts above the
waistline to assure correct fit over
the bust-thats all the detailing

smoothly into your waistline, and
is cut high, to accent slenderness.
The back belt draws it in to exactly
the snugness you want. A narrow
roll collar makes the deep v of
the neckline particularly becoming.
Rayon jersey, fiat crepe, spun rayon
and sheers are materials in which
it will be especially slenderizing.
Lots of our home dresses have
such nice tailored lines that they
are repeatable for street wear, too
and this (1902-B) is one Of the
best. Made in the practical button
front style that simplif1es launder-
ing problems and makes dressing
easier on hurried, busy morning,
it also has the slenderizing back belt
which does so much for good fit at
the waistline. The bodice is gath
cred to give Just enough fullness,
and can be made either with a plain
neckline or narrow collar. Cling
ham, linen and percale, and also
spun rayon or fiat crepe, are good
fabrics for dress that you'll want
in several different versions.
The fit of your slip is most i'm
portant, these days when all smart
dresses must have a smooth, small
wasted line. Pattern No. 1821-B
is designed to give you slips that At
miraculously well, with a perfection
that ready-made slips simply can
not achieve. And the satins, lin
gerie crepes, linens and batistes that
you select yourself. with an eye to
excellent quality, will, Of course,
have added washing and wearing
virtues. The reason this slip Ats
SO well Is that there are darts un-
der the arms, to give o little added
ease over the bosom, and darts at
the waistline for smooth slimness.
1t can be made with straps or built
up shoulders, and there are Just
