Fashion Demands Graceful Lines
* * * * * * * * * *•«
ALL THE SHARP EDGES OF LAST SEASON’S SEVERE STYLES HAVE BEEN
ROUNDED OFF, SAYS HARRIET,.AND CLINGING MATERIALS RETURN
......................................................................................................................mimic >
BY HARRIET
No smart costume this season
takes a sharp turn where a round-
ing one will do. In fact, all the
points and sharp edges of the
very severe styles of the last few
seasons have been worn off com-
pletely.
The styles of today borrow the
idea of the old saying “A soft
answer turneth away wrath.”
All this , of course, has its ef-
fect on women. It is natural for
a woman with a sleek, boyish bob
and short, straightline clothes to
be extremely straighforward, even
blunt.
Dress the same woman up in
a gently molded gown, with soft
velvet, lace and ribbons to deco-
rate it and lines that are grace-
ful, any way you take them, and
she will inevitably soften her
manner. Clothes, verily, make the
lady!
The use of very soft fabrics,
therefore, is quite consistent with
this new theme of style, lady-
clothes.
One of the sweetest of the new
lady-frocks for the younger lady
is the finely polka-dotted blue
velvet frock, shown at the left.
It has three little dots in one,
in pale blue, gold and a soft red,
making a very small dot all to-
gether.
This is an example of how the
new modes turn rounding, grace-
ful comers nowadays. The neck-
line is extremely graceful and
flattering. For, filling in the
rounding neck is a little bias fold
of pale blue organdie, with a
crisp little organdie bow slipping
through a slit at the comer of
the neckline.
The rather snug fitting sleeves
have charming puffs of their own
material, just above a snug wrist-
band. And the full skirt joins
the waist in a slanting, curving
line, with a little frill of the
goods making a diminutive peplum
over the full skirt.
The sport coat, even, has its
own way of interpreting the edict
for softer lines.
A new traveling coat from Jane
The printed velvet frock at the left, above, features fine polka
dots of three colors, one within the other. The traveling coat (right)
has an unusual scarf collar which boasts a patch pocket. Harriet
describes both in the accompanying article.
Regny (right) introduces novelty
in several ways. It is double-
breasted, but instead of buttoning
in military manner, it has a belt
that buckles shut and a long wrap
around scarf that holdB the collar
shut. The scarf collar has one
paddle-shaped end on which a lit-
tle patch pocket, in rounding cut,
is posed. The same shaped pockets,
only larger, decorate the sides
of the coat.
This is a very neat model, and
yet it has a certain lady-like grace
and softness about it that the lit-
tle travel coat of last year lacked.
This tendency towards curved
edges is seen everywhere. The
newest little kerchiefs for evening
wear, instead of having Bharp
comers to their triangular shapes,
have their ends curved. Cardigan
jackets and even cocktail jackets
now round their edges.
Only a little Broadway hoofer,
yet he proved himself a bet-
ter man than the scion of a
famous family. JVhile her
sweetheart cheated her—he
fought his way into stardom,
taking her with him and, as
a final sacrifice, giving his
life for her success.

HAWK HALTS ELECTRIC
SERVICE AT SWEETWATER
SWEETWATER (UP).—Even in
this modern time of gasless bug-
gies, gasless horses, etc., the in-
ventions of man must occasionally
bend to the furried and feathered
animals that have not grown with
the civilization. The other day
for example, this city was thrown
into chaos and tall because of the
feathered tribe.
The lights went out, clevaotrs
stopped, printing presses, and
other machinery powered by
“juice” came to a standstill, and
grumblers began to complain and
inquire what the trouble waB all
about.
The trouble was caused by a
large hawk, which suffered swift
punishment for interference with
man’s invention, however. The
bird lighted on one of the high-
tension wires of the power line
near Eskota. He stretched his
wings and inadvertently touched
the other wire. There was a
flash. The hawk was dead with
one foot burned nearly off and
two large holes burned in each
wing. One of the wires, was
burned in two and the city was
without current for about fifteen
minutes.
Self Preservation
At a Toronto fair a woman won
the rolling pin contest, and a
little later her husband won the
100 yard dash. We wonder if
there was any connection between
the two.
SHAMROCK POULTRY & EGG

The “dry scald” picking method
will be used by Shamrock Poultry
and Egg Company during the
Christmas turkey season, Harry
Tilley, manager, announced this
week. A boiler and scalding vats
are being installed. In the past
the "dry pick” method has been
employed but the other system
enables a produce house to turn
out better looking and better grade
birds.
