BUSINESS WOMEN DECLARE WAR ON LENGTHENED

Defiance to j Be Hurled at Stylists

Rv t mtnl brrm NEW YORK. Feb. 7.—ln hundreds of fashion shows to be staged throughout the United States during National Business Women's Week. March 10 to 16. business women will breathe defiance of the long skirts which couturiers have attempted to thrust upon them. While the evolution of business women’s fashions from the days when teachers in dame schools first rapped the knuckles of recalcitrant small boys to make them shave, and women dispensed peppermint lozenges to penny purchasers in shops in their own homes will be illustrated in these fashion shows, the focal point of many of them will ♦c - fi demonstration of the fashions of ft*29 and 1930 as the couturier conceited them, and as business women cant them to be. Miss 19:9 will make her entrance in the abbreviated skirts which were all the vogue Iho early part of last vear. Miss 193* will represent the last word in thf long, trailing garments which are now acclaimed the mode. There’s Happy Medium And in between-.them will march Miss Happy Medium, smilingly demonstrating a costume which is an intriguing blend of the two styles—short enough to be comfortable; long enough to be up-to-date: in short, a garment which has the approval of the business women of America. Already leaders in the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, the organization which sponsors National Business Women's week, have expressed in no uncertain terms their distastes for the long skirt for business wear. ;Admitting the charm of soft, clinging draperies for the tea table, and of diaphanous chiffons swirling about slim ankles for theater or dance, they have sworn never to capitulate to long skirts for business. Hits New Garb “Tlie new styles, which may have a place for the young girl sheltered in a home, or for the business girl in her hours of relaxation, will never be accepted by progressive business women for an everyday garb, any more than men will go back to the Prince Albert coat or cutaway and tall hat formerly demanded oi them during business hOurs,” Miss Marion H. McClench of Ann Arbor, Mich., president ot the federation, has asserted. Miss Margaret Stewart of Ogden, Utah, national treasurer, has gone ope step farther. “It will be short hair and short skirts for me as long as I live,” she declares. It is sentiment like these on the part of the leaders of the organization which has ’?d national headquarters to suggest to the 1.100 local clubs, many of whom are planning fashion shows for Business Women’s week, that they give at least one scene, emphasizing the business woman’s protest against the overlong skirt.

PARIS, Feb. 7. VX/’HO would believe that a * * black knitted jersey beret could be offered, even by THE CHANEL ... for thirty to forty dollars! But then, I suppose one is so privileged to be Chanel-ed, as it were, that one is willing to pay, oh, almost anything! But a beret is a beret for all that, and the knitted ones continue to have that elusive chic, which has made their creator famous. But Agnes adds a touch of luxury to her berets this season—the fir st trimmed berets, I do believe! On some of her chapeaux sit tiny colored birds; on some are placed a tiny spray of osprey feathers. The tiny birds are most effective when catching back the brim of a tweed hat—worn only with tweed suits, of course. a a a AND just to show you how much we love you, we have cut up anew 750 franc beret in order to figure out how to go about telling you how to make it! Watch for the leaflet. st an All the chic Farisiennes are wearing them now, and you'll be wearing them this spring! If you don’t—well, is there any use in living if you aren’t “in the

And it was pretty long, too, although Bernard et Cie, do not generally favor a great deal of length in their daytime coats. So all in all, it wasn't so very much trouble to sketch it for you today. tt st a THE designers have hit upon the idea of insertions on the hips, and in an effort to accustom the eye to a higher, more slender, more normal waist. For so many years we have looked at belts everywhere but at the waist-line—not that, for heaven’s sake, the waist-line, just because it happens to be one of the curves of a woman’s figure, must be the exact place for a belt! Insertions on the hips lead the way to skirt fullness without interfering with rhythm of line. From the narrow slender waist and the close-fitting hips, the fullness spreads out naturally, led by the effect of the insertions. e it tt f Au Re voir!

COLLEGE STUDENTS HEAR DR, PEELING

Dr. James H. Peeling, chairman of the social science department a Teachers college, lectured on lobbving before students in assembly Thursday afternoon. In part lie said: “Lobbying Is of two kinds, good and bad. The vicious kind, that opposed to public welfare, must be curbed, but in preventing it, the other type almost inevitably is hindered also. Thirty-two of our forty-eight states have passed laws trying to regulate lobbying. Indiana is one. In only two states have they been successful. The need is to direct lobbying to channels beneficial to society.”
