The recurrence of the called fish tail" Hue. the back godet and the like, makes for inter„at th- tn- nient. It is a decidedly Utent note in frocks that ripple or oat backward in a silhouette ca Icusted to be at its lw>st in motion. E perhaps may be heard of the term ■animated." but more is certainly seen of the erstwhile “animated silhouette" than ever before. The movement, with a few interesting exceptions, is still' backward, this being equally true of hats. Tn revert to the princess line, among the newest and most important revivals, it is coupled with circular treatments, and supplemented even by flounces. As is consistent with the feminine trend of present-day fashions, bows retain their supremacy, not only as. a decorative feature but as a means to an end. There is usually a reason for i the bows so lavishly seen in nil fall | collections. Judging from several collections already in America, the French Coutures have shown a partiality for the square decoletage as against the irregularities of the present season. In line also with the expression of formality and of luxury, gowns are generously cut away, especially at the back, nor are they necessarily ' related in contour to the front at this point, the feeling being for the j line which accentuates the “fish i tall." jabot, or otherwise dragging | back lines.

Below, the "In ide” of that "lark wedding."

“Bride" of “Bill" Hathaway is Heartbroken as Mate Languishes in Jail (By International Illustrated News) Boston. —It takes a lot to stagger the modern little town of Somerville. Mass., but "William ("Bill) Hathaway" suave young bank clerk, accomplished the trick. "Bill" was what is known as a man witli a future. When Miss Louise Marguerite Aeschler responded to his ardent wooing and consented to become his wife, friends of the pair congratulated them. Came their wedding night (as tile title writers in the n.ovies say) and the storm broke. For "William" turned out to be a WOMAN! The amazed and indignant "bride” discovered that she had gone through the marriage ceremony with MISS Ethel Kimball, refined and cultured daughter of a wealthy Massachusetts fajnily. Ethel, it developed, had masqueraded as a man for several years, and frequently had been in troul.le about it. Did It for a Lark Why did this girl, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, wish to renounce her sex and perpetuate a Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Bormann. Mr. and Mis. B. F. Roller. Misses Virginia i.anrent and Mary Suttles, and Messis. Robert Meibers and Bernard Clark comprised a party who m tored to Bluffton, last evening, and attended the street fair Mr. and Mrs. John T.

He slept fairly well (lining the night and not mmh change was noticeable in his condition today. Miss Josephine Malley, Miss Louise Brake and Miss Cross have returned to their homes in Chicago, having visited for several days with Mrs. Clarence Berber iti this city. — o Don't Get Angry If You Would Live Long, Is Advice Os Physician ' Chicago Sept 28—(U.R)—The emo-' tions cf rage, hate or suppressed desires take a definite toll of years front the life of man. Dr. J.’F. Roemer, of Waukegan, 111., said here today. 1)1. Romer, speaking liefoio the convention cf the American Association lor Medico-Physical reseat ch here,

strange and tragic hoax upon a young girl who was led to bestow her love upon a man who didn't exist? “For a lark," explained Ethel. "I just wanted to see how far I could ' carry the joke." But alienists who examined her | began to look for more subtle and ' ■ deep-seated motives. They scruti- ( i nized her record. '• Her first arraignment for masquer- ( ailing in male attire came in 1909, j and since then the police state that , she has assumed a variety of niascu- I line names. On similar charges she | • has served two terms, one in tWb | j I Sherbon Prison for' Women and one ■ at Deer Island. Once when arrested ] i she blacked a policeman's eye and I ' i tore off his coat. i Posed as "Professor” II Meanwhile it was learned that . I Ethel, in a black cutaway, striped | i 1 trousers, spats, spectacles and a I I swagger walking stick, had called | I bet self "Professor Faulkner, of Nor- I i so k, Va., instructor and lecturer in , music." Os this escapade her family j and friends knew nothing. i Tile "bride" whom Ethel duped j i “tor a lark" is in seclusion, guarded ; i against reporters and the curious. said outbursts of rage and temper- | ment produce actual acid conditions 11 in the body which ate harmful to . health. "These emotions produce an acid I condition of all the secretions of the j . body, upsetting the acid-alkali balance ' i so nertissaty to maintain health," Dr. , Roemer said. "An excess of acids I causes many ailments as rheumatism, j ‘ arthritis, neuritis and lumbago." i o JOHN COOLIDGE DRIVER OF CAR i I (CONTINLEn FHOM CAGE ONE! ’ I . the driver and his cliauffeur compan- . ion to station five. i "Reckless driving,” said the police- I i man. "Name and address?" demanded the j i desk sergeant. 1 “John Coolidge, Northampton, 1 '.Mass.," replied the youth. After a conference between officers, j > Joint went to his office in New Haven -1 railroad headquarters, where he was ' I more than an hour late. It was learned that young Coolidge j 1 might not be •called to the office of j ? Coroner James J. Corrigan. Corrigan, to foil newspaper men, went secretly ’ to John’s office and questioned him. Washington, Sept. 28.- U.R;— Major James F. Couqial, personal physician of President Coolidge, left here last t ’ night for New Haven, Conn., to de- , termine the extent of injuries suffer- , ed by Wilfred Veno, hockey player, in an automobile accident in w*hich John Coolidge, the president's son figured. ; No comment on Major Coupal’s de- [ parture was available at the White ; House but it was learned Mr. Coolidge was concerned about the accident and was anxious to give the victim all medical attention possible. •O — O BOX SOCIAL at the Rupright School.
