No Estimate Of Strength
There was no estimate of the

that until they did so they would
not be too optimistic.

That Dickey Cephus will soon
 leave for the Army. You can be
 sure Fred Burton and his boys will miss him. That the Nutmeg Elks are again taking their place on top. Let's
 hope they will close the season with good record. That quite a few of our veterans are attending HPHS's School for
 Veterans. Who are the girls who wait for two boys each school day ? That a young man who lives in B. s. can be seen almost any time heading for the other side of town. No doubt you've seen him. That "Superman" was not "John- ny on the spot" when "Lois Lane" received a leg injury. 1t was un- preventable, believe me!
 That Phyllis Wheatley is plan ming many fine programs for this year.
 That the U. s. Marines really lives up to it's name Leather necks".
 That Frank Sinatra's "Remem- Der Last Summer?" brings back memories to two little Hartford girls. Could you tell me why they like it?
 That love can surpass any ob- stacle. Have you found that out? That MT. and Mrs. Willie Knigh- ton are very proud of their little daughter. Conpratulations III!

Paris Shows
Trend Toward
Long Skirts
By CYNTHIA LOWRY
AP NeWsfeatures

PARASITIC peacemakers in the
fashion world are unanimous on
one thing: skirts are going to be
much longer-and that may mean
ankle-length.
Pierre Balmain, the. talented de-
signer whose fall collection was
one of the "sleepers" Of the season
has come right out with plan for
it: ST would like the smartly dress
ed woman of 1916 to adopt ankle
length skirts for town wear"
The others, ,Bruyere, jacques
Heim-to note two who showed
their new models yesterday-are
lengthening skirts gradually and
notably in afternoon dresses.
Apparently there are two flies
in the ointment. .7.:
The first and foremost is the
shortage of material with which to
make much longer clothes. But it
is believed that this can be ovar-
come in America as well as in
France in anywhere from six to
twelve months. st
The secondhand apparently this
applies much more to Europe than
Americas that pre-World War
l skirt lengths are impractical at
time when ladies are able to 40
much less riding in elegance than
walking or bicycle riding. But any
way, very long skirts are definitely
on the way.
All in line with the international
orgy Of dress 1engthening which IS
in store for us is the about man
ner in which designers are stress
ing a complete return to femininlty
and tossing out anything resembl'
ING the stiff masculine lines which
have been required styling for Sc
long.
Madeline Vraimant, for instance,
is showing everything with wasp,
waist, swelling hips and moulded
bosom effect. Her lines require a
special little boned corset. Balen'
ciaga likes a tiny waist and draws
attention to moulded curves.
It is a -bandwagon and everyone
is climbing on.
Balmain is joining Lelong IN
showing any number of getaway
type suits, with a single puItoh
highup and with the jacket WORT
over tricky little vest and shirt
effects that resemble Victorian
riding costume. s:@ 1919,
The effect is charming and
makes for Indefinite variety.
Helm and Bruyere are showing
more conservative clothes man ,
Balmain. Bruyere is particularly
fond Of a short waistline and long
drop from the midriff to the hem ;. :,
line. Helms clothes are youthful
restrained. and in luscious color.
