Shorter Skirts Is
Fashions Dictum
Gloves Longer, Hat Brims
Wider for Spring.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Latest report from fashion centers
IS to effect that skirts are shorter
(for daytime) gloves longer, brims
wider and there is a tendency to-
ward blouse effects for the bodice.
Add these several trends and to-
gether the result is a silhouette that
is very youthful and fattering.
While skirts at present are faring,
experts declare a turn in the tide
by fall toward very slim straight
lines. In fact, the newest Paris eve
ming gowns introduce an amazingly
slim long skirt with a flounced pleat-
ing beginning at the knees that in
genlously manages to retain the
straight pencil-slim line.
Long gloves that crush from ell
bow to wrist are the wanted kind,
be they fabric or kid. White ranks
first, although colorful gloves are in
close competition.
Brims are simply tremendous this
season, with special emphasis on
wide Bretons. The cleverest idea
imaginable is the turban hat that
has huge detachable halo brim.
Wear it either way according to the
occasion. Watch the new wide-brim
felts. Milliners are manipulating
these into dramatic effects that
achieve entirely different lines from
the conventional.

OUTLOOK AT THIRTY
Edited By Edythe Mae Gordon


And now 1 am thirty and still, before
Ny tired eyes, appears an endless
show
Of life, colored by each new winters
snow,
Proudly marshalled by Springs gay
commodore,
That when encouragement would draw
its shade
And I would end this torturous living,
I am compelled to laugh: life's caval-
cade
Presents untold surprises in giving.
Although, as I close the easement of
years
Through which I have not looked with
out despair,
I have seen in deaths cave the drip
ping tears
Of those, self-slain, impatient fools
who dare
To leave their friends, the climbing
mountaineers
Of life, without knowing what may be
there.
W. FRANCIS POTTER.
CONFLICT
We miss the stars above at night
If we do not look up to them,
For sun and moon and endless spaces
May move unseen before our faces.
We miss the joys of grimy night
When we possess the stellar hem
For shadows wrap their friendly
gTaces
To hide our primitive embraces.
No shadow can be without sun;
For Beauty forever adds to one!

does not really need an umbrella
but if she should carry one just for
effect we are quite sure she would
be choosing one of those delectable
types made of transparent white oil
silk patterned in a design that looks
exactly as if actual chalk-white lace
had been applied. In reality the
lace magic is achieved in an allover
motif printed in opaque white.

and all because her raincoat is as
CHEEKY as a streak of sunshine ap-
plies to the attractively outfitted girl
centered in the picture. The coat
has raglan sleeves to fit over any
garment and zippered front clos
ing. A cotton numerical print fab
ric in striking colors fashions it.
The big news about the rainproof
fabric of which it is made is that it
has been treated with a new syn
thetic which scientists call koroseal,
which not only makes it impervious
to water, but also renders it spot
proof and fire resistant. The ma
terial is also processed so that it
does not become stiff or crack with
age. Thus does modern genius con-
tinue its wonders to perform. Note
her boots, they are the latest. They
are amazingly light weight, and easy
to slip on. Solve the hateful mud
spot on hosiery annoyance perfectly.
No clothes worries during spring

the right in the group, for her new
raincoat is also made of a material
treated scientifically as above de-
scribed so that it will VIGOROUSLY
defy the onslaughts of the elements,
no matter how fierce the wind or
rain. This coat is fashion-right in
every sense of the word. It boasts
very new blouse-top silhouette with
full skirt giving the wearer trim
figure by the use of shirring at the
waistline. If she so chooses she
can pull the parka hood up over her
hat for protection. The comfortable
bishop sleeves will fit over a woolen
coat or a summer frock.

Eyelet is an important word in

lero of eyelet pique or collar cuff and
pocket dabs of the sheerest filmy

New French Prints

Balenciaga chooses flying ducks to
pattern new spring prints. Bruyere
shows elephants and Schiaparelli,

penguins, the deer and the fish.
Another series of prints uses mod
ern objects such as garden tables
and chairs, drawn in such a fash
ion that they look almost like lace
patterns over a plain ground, wood

ciaga), children's faces (on Du-

PHILADELPHIA, July 6. - An

French Assembling
Every Weapon for
Fight on Britain
Reich and ItoIy Release

Obligation to Disorm
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GRENOBLE, France, July 6.-The
French government assembled every
weapon at It's command today to
defend the last remnants Of its feet
from the. unceasing British pursuit.
and period of a strange, unequal
naval warfare between the bitterly
estranged former allies seemed
clearly foreshadowed.
Both Germany and Italy freed
France temporarily from the armis-
tice obligation to disarm in the
Mediterranean-so she could fight
the British Navy-and even as this
decision was taken it was acknowl-
edged that two more French war
ships had gone to the bottom.
Gunboat Is Torpedoed.
The 1,969-ton gunboat, Rigault de
Genouilly, was torpedoed-without
warning. the French said-oh AL
giers, and the 1,367-ton destroyer,
Frondeur, was sunk by two British
cruisers in a two-hour engagement
of the Island of Crete.
On the other side Of the ledger
OF violence between ancient friends
now turned enemies, however. was
report that the 26,500.ton French
battleship, Strasbourg, had run the
British gantlet and arrived safely
at Toulon. With her, 1t was said,
were five 7000-ton cruisers and a
number OF destroyers, submarines
and gunboats.
The Strasbourg, which fled
Wednesday from the battle off 0ran
and Mers El-Kebir, in which the
British opened their give-up sink
campaign against the French Navy,
was declared to have suffered only
slight damage.
Bases to Be Kept Gunned.
The French weapons, under the
arrangement approved formally. by
Germany and Italy, will not be in
considerable.
1t apparently will mean that the
main French Mediterranean naval
bases at Toulon, Bizerte, Ajaccio
Oran and Mers El-Kebir will be kept
heavily gunned.
Illustrative of the bitterness OF
French ofIicial feeling against Brit
ain was an announcement in Vichy
by the French War Ministry that
Vice Admiral Emile Musilier, who
has been In London in an effort to
help organize continued French re-
sistance to Germany, would be tried
