K — - — ""■ "" " " " I Rumors Concern Smart Sleeveless Sport Dresses NEW YORK. Nov. 13—(U.K)— In a surprisingly short time spring will I have come to the shop window. Exotic palm backgrounds and skies no ■ bluer than the costumes exploited, will arrest the hurried Christmas shopper lon her round’. One begins to hear cottons spoken of in terms of respect and I regarded with admiration. There arc stimulating rumors concerning smart sleeveless sports dresses I for sun drenched southern mornings, dresses reflecting the modern spirit of

n jor — • ■ decoration in some cases and harken I mg back to the 1880's in others, idem I tification of cotton with sport is on B the style program. Among the destr- ■ ( d materials are piques, as well as E fiieer muslins and lawns. It is not I difficult to visualize organdie interI preting the evening mode or to think I of sports and day clothes generally I in terms of cool linen even ratine. ■ A distinctive feature of some of the I newer patterns is that they are taken I from those having scored in wool. I Remembering the success of tweed I patterned crepes, one feels more conI fidence in cottons printed after the | wool manner. The recurrence of the short jacket I theme is compatible with the growI ing interest in cottons. One begins I to flirt again with the idea of a linen I suit, its figured top jacket opening I over organdie.” ‘‘Tablecloth linen” I is the new note. Introducing unacI customed fabrics adds a fillip to the I style situation, while the continued I opportunity to play with color and to I assemble costume units makes for adI ded zest in getting about the busiI ness of meeting spring half way.

Smith were I delightfully surprised last Sunday I when a number of their Decatur I friends visited them, at their new pasI orate at the United Brethren Church I in Ligionier.
