i*NEW *GOWNS STRESS CHARM OF FEMININE CONTOURS

Last Year’s Styles Now Seem Dowdy BY ROSETTE HARGR&'JS NEA p*rrie* Writer PARIS, Sept. s.—The long dress has asserted itself definitely, but it is neither this fashion feature nor that of the return to a normal and even to a higher than normal waistline which provides the key to this new mode. The fact really is that every couturier seems to have set out to resuscitate and to emphasize the old-fashioned charm of feminine contours, and thfs effect in itself is sufficient to impart that unpardonable look of dowdiness to last year’s styles. v Wider shoulders and drawn-in waists seem, slowly but surely, to be leading us to the hour-glass silhouette, but the fashion creators have to achieve this without the aid or the tortures of the stiffly-boned corset. Mysterious Charm Given It is amazing, though, to see some of the mannequins with what look positively like eighteen-inch waists. Draped effects, Whether disposed at the front or the back, underline the figure when a woman moves as much, if not more, than the straight frock. g Moreover, it has the added advantage of mysterious charm, so much more appealing than the allrevealing knee-length skirt. It is in the evening modes that the apex of femininity is reached. Daytime clothes still remain essentially practical for the requirements of the practical modern woman. As to formal afternoon styles, they verge so closely on informal evening clothes that it is sometimes but a question of sleeves or even half sleeves. Demure and Modern It is astonishing how an evenifig bodice with a dropped bertha that leaves the top of the arm bare can look both demure and modern. So it is with the peplum, the basque and even the bustle, the latter never aspiring, however, to the rigid, deforming atrocity it was in mid-Victorian days, despite assertions to the contrary. Quaint short basqued jackets, invariably trimmed with luxurious fur collars, accompany many styles of evening dress. Capes are in again, either hip length or long, the latter - usually worn with the formal type of evening dress that sponsors a train. The variety of sleeves to be seen in evening wraps of the coat type seems infinite, but the model chosen must always harmonize with the general lines of both dress and wrap. Good Combinations Permitted Long, pointed sleeves, for example, would look odd with an even j henfi, but would just prove the j finishing touch to a dress with a pointed train. The new evening mode lends itself to many practical combinations. The frankly opposed colors to be seen in a dress and its accompanying wrap can, with a little foresight and planning, make the wrap do service with two and perhaps three dresses instead of a solitary one of matching color. This will help to make up, in part, for the extra yards of fabric required for the .very latest gown. Altrusans to Meet Altrusa Club will hold its regular luncheon meeting Friday at 12:15 at the Columbia Club. Archibald M. Hall will be guest speaker. His topic will be “Good Government.”

Selfishness Pictured as Deadly Sin BY MARTHA LEE Much has been said about marriage being “for better and for worse.” Much has been said about marriage being a fifty-fifty proposition. But not all that one can say will cover it. It’s a funny thing, these complaints of disgruntled husbands who awaken from love’s dream to find that their ideals live only in their minds. And it’s pathetic, too, these winnings of dissatisfied wives who discover that their prince charmings are mere mortals shrouded for the time in a rosy cloud. And then the trouble begins. Marriage vows are forgotten. Egos are brought to light, shrunken and misshaped, and anew era in which self is predominant begins. Selfishness should be classed as one of the deadly sins, for I firmly believe that it has a part in all wrecked marriages. Both Are to Blame Both parties are to blame. A wife for failing to make her home a happy place where her husband can find peace; a husband for being tyrannical and demanding that his word be law. Two lives as closely woven as those of husband and wife can not always run parallel. There are bound to be tangles. It is in unraveling the tangle to the best advantage that caution must be used. If both pull, intent on finding the quickest and easiest way out, isn’t it true that one or the other is sure to Break the thread, so that in order to start again it must be patched and knotted? Wouldn't it be better for both to work together until the safest solution is discovered, without the unpleasantness of a break? After being alone all day, or at least, away from her husband, a woman likes nothing better than to sit down after supper for a cozy chat about the ups and downs of the. day. And husband will have none of it. # What he wants is an easy chair, his pipe and the paper. Or a good detective story. Married Six Months This difference in opinion is a forenmner of a good quarrel. Instead of giving either a break, each finds fault with the other for being a nuisance or a sloth. It’s the old ego cropping up. Obviously in the following letter, it’s the wife that’s getting the raw end of the deal: Dear Martha Lee—l am 24, and have been married six months. My husband works at nisht from 11 to 8. X work also, but during the day, paying fqr more than half of the expenses. Instead of my husband sleeping during the day while X am working, he does not even come home. He manages to get home just in time to get in bed and make me think that he has been sleeping all day. Then after I prepare supper, “he won't get up and six nights out o* seven, sleeps till time to go to work. When I ask him why he does not sleep during the day and be witlj me in the evening he says it is none of my business what he does and if I don’t like it I can leave. We have a lovely home and X am trying to help pay for it, but it is very lonely with him asleep ever night. Please advise me what to do. HYLA. Talk Things Over What do you want to do, Hyla? Are you ready to give up after only six months? Are you sure you are being fair with your husband? Remember, it is unnatural to work all night and sleep all day. The strain may be telling on his nerves. Have you considered the matter thoroughly? Think where you may may be at fault, and try to do your part, so that if your attempt fails, at least you can not be blamed. ' Talk things over with your husband and make him see that he is not fulfilling his part in tfie marriage bargain. Don’t make the mistake of nagging. Remind him it takes two people to make a marriage happy. Rho Zeta Tau Sorority Will Give Breakfast Older members of Rho Zeta Tau sorority will be entertained Sunday morning with a 10 o’clock breakfast at the Columbia Club.

m PARIS, Sept. 5 SCIENCE is able to explain so much away these days—many of the preplexities that have puzzled thinkers for centuries, many of the things we have taken more or less for granted for these same centuriesWiry we behave like human beings, why a flower has the color it has and the odor it has, and to what extent this assists the insects and birds —and ever so many more such things. Scientific books are not the dull tones that they once were; indeed, many of them are so fascinating one is totally unable to put them down until the last chapter is finished! BUT I wonder if any one ever has investigated the reason for the astonishing beauty of color and delicacy of design found in endless variety in the plumage of birds? I never have found much written on the subject, have you? I’m musing on feathers today be-< cause.they have been brought to my attention, due to the vogue for them, which has been imminent put not important for several seasons. But in the fall collections one finds them rather more often . . . flat feather trimming on the smartest small hats, exquisite embroideries combined with colored feathers, shoes partially or entirely covered with feathers. And as if nature already had not been kindly enough with her varieties of plumage, where the couturiers does not find something that exactly suits his design, he achieves it with tfte aid of paint or dyes! tt o I always wondered when somebody would come along with an idea that would enable me to use up all the warned little fur pieces —old fur ollars, used-to-be-a-lot-of-dollars-worth-of-eoat—you know what I mean. Well, the vogue for smart accessories made out of fur has more than answered wonderings! This winter you are going to see entire belts made out of flat fur. Jewlry, honestly! Bracelets and necklaces —tiny fur hats of the beret style, and all sorts of things like that. Knowing this to be a fact, I fixed up a leaflet for you telling how to go about making your old fur scraps over into new, modem accessories. Don't you think you’d better send a 2-cent stamp to the Dare Department of The Times for it?. You might be sorry If you didn’t! a a a JUST as if I was sorry I didn't grab Martial et Armand’s lovely grey woolen coat, which I sketched

today for you—because, while you can always have things made to order, sometimes there is an interesting price at sale time! It was such a lovely dark grey material, and interestingly cut, and on top of that trimmed with dark and light astrakhan, and altogether that’s about the smartest combination of things-that-are-going-to-be smart that anybody could find for a winter coat! tt St tt CUNNING buttons made of woven leather thongs are the latest wrinkle in buttonland, and when they are of two tones and match the mixed material of the tailleur or the ensemble they are on, they really are very effective.
