Ask Revision in Probation Organization Board of the Indianapolis League of Women Voters in session this morning at the home of Mrs. Thomas Sheerin, 4330 Central avenue, recommended that a definite stand be taken by the state convention of the league on reorganization of county government and strengthening of the state probation law. The league will hold its state convention March 23, 24 and 25 in South Bend. The board recommends a change in the state probation law which ■would make the state probation board an administrative rather than an advisory board, and give its members power to appoint the state probation officer, to prescribe his qualifications and those of local probation workers, with authority to enforce their recommendations. The board also voted to request the convention to adopt r.s one of the league legislative measures as extensive reorganization of county and township government as can be effected through action of the legislature and to work for amendments to the state constitution to eliminate some of the elective county officials. The Indianapolis group will send a large delegation to the convention, headed by Mrs. Walter S. Greenough, president; Mrs. Warren K. Mannon, convention program chairman; Mrs. Ralph E, Carter, chairman of the nominating committee; Mrs. S. N. Campbell, state organization chairman, who is in charge of the opening night meeting, and Miss Florence Kirlin, executive secretary of the state organization. Officers to be elected at the convention are first and second vicepresidents; treasurer, and three dircctors-at-large.

Wool Conies to Fore as Smart and Aristocratic Choice for Costumes

BY ROSETTE HARGROVE N'EA Service Writer PARIS, March I.—lt was not so very many years ago that a woolen dress was synonymous of poverty, a social disgrace almost, and the symbol of self-effacement in woman. In many of the novels written before the war and its consequent era of realism, the orphan, the repentant Magdalene and the little country girl wore woolen dresses. In these talcs, brown wool was usually the color chosen by the patient, but humble wife of the black sheep, and white was reserved to her aristocratic sister. Times have changed and today a wool dress is the choice of the rich, the smart and the aristocratic. Silk has become altogether too popular to be chic, not to mention too obviously brilliant. The influence of sports may perhaps be held responsible for the vogue of wool in fashions and wool manufacturers have achieved miracles of suppleness, lightness and design, not to speak of colorings, which were undreamed-of twenty years ago. X tt tt THE art of the Parisian couturier is seen at its best in the apparently simple little woolen dress. It is much simpler to create a successful model in silk than it is in wool, or rather one that will flatter more women. But an exquisitely cut woolen frock has that unmistakable air of elegance which all women aspire to. The very latest creations now shown indicate that wool will occupy a still more important place in spring fashions. The tentative bias seamings that were such a success at the outset of the winter have been the object of further study, but it is amazing what two or three bias seams will do to a dress and the way it sets and clings to the figure. The line is perfect and becoming, and the subtle charm of this cut, although not as self-evident as some complicated effects, is appreciated by women of discernment. The only drawback of these bias slams and the use of material on the bias is that the cut must be absolutely sure and faultless, otherwise the result is worse than hopeless. tt tt tt BUTTONS decorate many of these wool creations, while color contrasts sometimes constitute the only trimming. Pique seemingly will continue to fulfill this function of furnishing a note of contrast and fancy or figured wool fabrics offer an alternative choice. The finishing touch to a wool dress, however, which will crown its success, will be the wisely selected accessories, and spring will bring shoes, belts, gloves and bags all matching perfectly, or again, the contrast will be furnished by lighter or darker gloves, flower and bag. Brown and beiges brightened by orange, red and green will be fashionable, with a sprinkling of dull reds and a great deal of navy blue. Lanvin offers a black W'ool dress completed by a shoulder cape of dull rose that,is a perfect combination and which also heralds the appearance of the shoulder cane as a spring fashion feature of importance. 76 NEW MEMBERS ADDED IN DRIVE Announcement was made Monday by Mrs. Everett M. Schofield, president of the Woman’s Department Club, at its birthday luncheon that seventy-six new members were added during the membership drive preceding the anniversary party. Mrs. A. Edgar Shirley is membership chairman, and Mrs. James D. Ermston, chairman of the membership committee.

Old Adage Is Tip for Bride Directed By AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK, March 1.—’ Something old and something new; something borrowed and something blue.” Those are the proverbial requirements for the bride who’s to have good fortune follow her. And this spring's bride can have them all—smartly. For her "something old,” she fashionably can follow the old tradition of gleaming ivory satin for her gown. With, perhaps, a touch of really old lace, handed down from her grandmother’s wedding gown. For her “something new,” she can choose any one of many new bridal dress details. A low-cut back with high-cut front; a separate long-sleeved jacket over a sleeveless dress; a surplice neckline with a softly rolled collar; the front of her gown made of lace and the back of satin. Borrowed Part Is Easy “Something borrowed.” That’s easy. For fashionable wedding gowns have borrowed from regular daytime dresses the close-fitting, moulded silhouette with high waistline, slim hips and defined bodice. ‘And for her “something blue” her bridesmaids’ dresses. Blue is one of spring’s newest colors for these costumes. Plenty of things new for this spring’s bride. But many will prefer the classically simple satin gown with high, softly draped neckline, long fitted sleeves, fitted waistline and sweeping train. Those who choose this will be smartly correct. And after all, there’s nothing lovelier. Lace and Satin Combined But for something newer, there are combinations of lace and satin. Sometimes the entire bodice and sleeves are of lace with the rest of the dress in satin. Or a lace panel may extend down the front or back of the skirt. Or a panel at each side. Sometimes the dress is of satin with a short lace jacket to wear

over it, as the bride in the illustration is wearing. This is a particularly practical type for the bride who plans to use her wedding gown as an evening costume. The satin dress- is sleeveless with back cut moderately low. But bare arms and back are covered by the short lace jacket to which the satin train is attached. After the wedding, the train comes off and the gown is ready to serve —jacketless—as a formal evening
