The dropped shoulder line seems
to be currently top drawer, not only
for evening but for daytime too. 1t
gives q very desirable new shoulder
line, and a very feminine one. The
idea is variously carried out. One
of the most acceptable is by a band.
or bands, of contrasting color rum
ming around the body the desired
depth from the shoulder. thus
forming, or maybe merely suggest
ing, a yoke.
The yoke idea is another smartly
sponsored one. There are square.
round, pointed and heart-shaped
yokes, Just as there are necklines
cut on these forms. But the really
new thing Is the skirt yoke and on
to it is pleated or gathered the
skirt, which makes 1t possible Tor
a woman to retain trim hipllne
vet wear a full skirt.
Many dresses continue the APP
proved plan of front fullness. This
is particularly true OF daytime
dresses, for, many reports to the
contrary, the vast majority OF even
ing dresses are full all the way
around. Maybe these are not the
newer models. but they certainly
are the more numerous ones. In
lighter fabrics, such as go South,
skirts are full, especially at the
front.

There are conditions under
which it is conceivable thst q child
may have to be subdued by force
but these should be few and far be-

case, there Is q strong suspicion
that the parent Is q practtcinl

and one should do something about
1t before 1t Is too late.
Discipline should involve learn

This Is impossible where obedience
is motivated by fear. It isn't neces-

cooperation. A better policy Is q
willingness to meet him half way

organ. which reads: Help the

Sometimes q woman Is to be

what these Samaritans have been
doing. Under the auspices Of their
bishop, Alexander Lowande. who
used to be q circus bareback rider
with Barnum and Bailey, and who
was converted to the United Chris
tian Church while there. they
purchased the most vicious saloon
In New York City's Harlem Negro
