I’ lIEDDA HOYT TELLS | ....about... I FASHIONS for WOMEN » I (United Pro«« Fashion Editor) New York, Aug. 20. —(UP)—In New York, as in all largo cities, you .can see them; elderly ladies who still live and dress in the styles of their heyday. Wide skirts supported by buckram. plummed hats with large crowns, handbags shaped like carpetbags, high-topped buttoned boots, veils, etc., are some of the items these old timers have failed to drop with the time. The materials worn by these dear old ladies prove that their gowns were of best quality, for, they lived in an age when quality meant style. A reef or two taken in their skirts and they would pass unnoticed in modern crowds. But to them, old ways are best. Dear old souls, whose eyes are I closed to our modern ways of dressings, you are at least dignified in your odd trappings! What impression will our modern women who fail to ride with the tide |of fashion create some 20 years lienee? Will short-hemmed and short- ' haired old ladies be the laughing I stock of the new generation? One wonders! It is very difficult when one grows ' too old to care about coping with styles to accept new ideas of dress. We can all number among our friends i chignon-ed women. Yet the chignon died the day Irene Castle clipped her first lock. Time will tell whether the chignon shall return again. If long hair doesn’t come in style again, a long-haired woman will be a curiosity 15 years hence. The other day I saw an old lady . wearing flowing widow's weeds and the thought occurred to me that deep mourning weeds were a thing of the past. Certainly in New York one doesn't see much of the long veil. This doubtless, was done away with when fashion decreed less conspicuous mourning apparel. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Wertzberger and daughter, Miss Florence, of BenI ton Harber, Michigan, arrived in the city last, night for a few days visit with Mr. Wertzberger's parents, Mr. and Mrs M. J. Wertzberger, 227 South I Thiid Street. I Mrs. Margaret Crotty and daughter. Gertrude, of Cleveland. Ohio, arrived in Decatur yesterday for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Herman Tettman, of South Third street. Mrs Teetman, | who has been spending a week wit 1 ' Mrs. Crotty and daughter, in Cleveland ! rteurned with them. Hail Stones Big As Baseballs Kill Five In Russian Village By International News Service Grozny, Russia, Aug. 20. —Hailstones raining down like a barrage of brickbats over an area 50 miles! squara killed 5 persons, 16 horses, 25 head of cattle including two heavy bulls and 6,000 sheep. Reports to the Commissariat of Agriculture state that hardly a living being in the open fields of the stricken district which lies in the county of Chechen between the Black and Caspian seas escaped uninjured. Only the fact that the storm broke at 4 a. m. prevented an enormous loss of life. Property damage is placed at $2,000,000. Os one flock of 4,000 sheep less than half escaped. One thousand were killed outright and the remainder were so badly battered that they had to be slaughtered. Fields of grain were leveled as if bombed by planes. One of rhe women killed was sleeping beside a window. A hailstone the size of a baseball crashed through the glass and fractured her skull. o Many Homes Being Built Anderson. Ind., Aug. 20. — (UP) — Belief that the home-building record of 1927 will surpass that of all previous years in Anderson's history, is expressed by Chamber of Commerce officials. Up to August first permits had been issued for election of 300 homes within the city limits, and it is believed that in addition homes In sutiurbs have been built to bring the total between 400 and 500. o Soviet Jails Soon To Be Universities Moscow, (United Press)—Prisons fnl the Soviet Union wil be turned in the walled universities of the Commissar i of Education, if A. V. Lunacharsky has , his way. The Commissar believes that ' everyone clever enough to be a crook has a mind that can be trained for use-' ful labor. Some of them might be gray bearded Ph. D's by the time they get .out from behind the liars, but a convict philosopher, he says, might easily get as big an audience as one who just manages to keep out of an asylum. [
