Black Lace High
Spot in Fashion

A charming fashion has come into
the "picture" this winter. It's the
adorable little basque blouses that
are made of exquisitely sheer black
lace. You can wear this cunning
lace basque over an evening dress
of pastel taffeta that has a camisole
top and a bouffant skirt, or you can
make it serve as a blouse to wear
with various skirts.
Describing a typical little mode
that was sighted among a collection
of modish lace fantasies, the basque
of sheerest of black Chantilly lace
is high-necked and has soft-styled
three-quarter sleeves. There is a
cunning peplum ruffle about the hips
with a cascade of the same lace
ripping down the front opening, sug-
costing jabot held in place by a
row of black velvet-covered buttons.
Quaint is this model as can be and
as enchanting as it is quaint.
Wear a blouse of black lace with
your daytime suit of black velvet,
for glamorous black lace is a high
spot in this seasons fashion lure.

LEGAL MuRDER2

An innocent man is left dangling,
Bv a rope, and his body is bare;
He was stripped of every garment,
And hanged naked in the court
house square!
True to the past, there was no protest,
The rope was taut,
Another victim of mad talk
Dangling, at the merciless mob's be-

.Burn himl" they stormed! They

Proposals were beloved, with a

The mob was well-geared!

They walk past your door!
Their diabolic acts are polished;
They have nothing to fear, nothing

An innocent man is hanging some

Without trial, gasping his last
breath, until dead!

Spring Will See
Taffeta Splurge

Leaders in style circles predict a
wide use of taffeta this spring. It
seems as if taffeta is entering every
phase of the mode from hats and
blouses to whole suits being tailored
of taffeta.
Evening gowns of taffeta in deli
cious colors are rustling to the
strains of sweet music this winter
at opera, at dance parties and all
social functions where one must
dress to occasion.
For the dinner gown a taffeta bod
ice worn with full sheer skirt is a
favorite formula, The new little taf-
feta jackets and blouses with their
audacious peplum flares and their
sprightly puff sleeves, are ever so
intriguing. Yes, indeed, there sure
is going to be big taffeta splurge
this spring.

Fjfty-two weeks, three hundred and
of those days! No wonder some folks
give up and resort to baked potatoes,
escanped tomatoes, roast lamb and
pie. It really takes a bit of ingenuity
to introduce at least one new food on
alternate days in the household. Some
times the simplest device will change
an old standby into a grand dish.
For instance, next time you're making
an apple pie, you might try grating
very finely over the apples enough
cheese to cover the top, WED suggest
about one fourth of a cup). Or you
might try this variation of escalloped

spoon flour, one tablespoon melted

dish. Prepare a smooth paste of flour
and shortening. Add tomato juice to

There's no more certain sign of
the approach of spring than the urge
that stirs within for a new print

prescribe a spring tonic when gay
print begins its effective work on
midwinter jaded spirits. Imagine a
tonic you can buy by the yard, but
you'll find the new prints just like
that. Among the print winners that
are ushering in an early spring you

Evening Blouses
Glitter and Glow
Nothing Is Too Exciting or
Daring for Fashion.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Ornate is the word for evening
blouses, basques, jackets and sweat
ers. Nothing is too exciting or dar-
ing in the way of glitter and CLEAN
when it comes to the "tops" that
women of fashion are wearing with
skirts dramatically slender or youth
fully bouffant.
Your blouse may be all of Sc
gums; those of white sequins stud
ded with rhinestones lay siege to
the heart. Perfectly gorgeous are
the types that are laden with gold
embroideries and braids.
The new brocades look as if the
treasure stores of the world had been
ransacked to procure them. They
glitter magnifcently with metal
weave, and made up into basque
like blouses that fasten with jew
eled buttons down the front, there's
no resisting them.
AS to the voguish evening sweat
ers, the splendor they radiate in the
way of glittering embroideries, bead
work, jewel buttons and myriads of
other fantastic touches outglories
widest flights of imagination.

Blouses and Skirts
Almost Uniforms

Long-sleeved blouses and skirts
are getting to be a uniform among
business girls as well as goods.
Favorite among the color conbina-
tons are the ever-present red blouse
and black skirt, light blue blouse
with navy skirt, pink with gray, yell
low with moss green, and-a little
less colorful-white silk long sleeved
blouse with black skirt. The latter
can be transformed from an office
into a date ensemble by the addition
of a red sash or cummerbund.

BEAUTY HINTS

Be Beautiful With Glasses

Many women refuse to wear glasses
as they feel that they make them look
old. This need not be true. The fact
is, your glasses may add something
to your face if you know how to wear
them. First, get frame and shape
that is becoming to you. Next, be
even more careful of your makeup
with glasses than before as the glass
intensifies the effect and you must be
immaculate. Your skin should be per-
fectly groomed and your rouge and lip
stick should be carefully applied as
one notices it more. So, go ahead and
get your glasses and dress your face
up to them for you look much better
with glasses than with the squirt that
you will assume if you need them and
do not wear them

"Organized pressure groups have

Some boldly urge intervention,
