Y. W. G A- Secretary
For Valley Arrives
Mrs. Esther Hart of Omaha, Neb.,
new general secretary for the Val-
ley district of the Y. W. C. A. ar-
rived last week and will enter at
once upon her duties.
Mrs. Hart comes directly from the
Business Girls’ Conference at Estes
Park, Colo., where the outstanding
workers of all the states included in
the Southwest and7 Rocky Mountain
districts held a series of meetings.
In the capacity of recorder, Mrs.
Hart was a member of the leader-
ship group of this conference and in
close touch with all the discussions,
plans and methods there set forth.
She brings to the Valley all the in-
formation and inspiration of this
meeting, and the Business Girls de-
partment of the Valley Y. W. C. A.
will, under her leadership, reap the
benefit of this experience.
Educated in the State University
of Nebraska at Lincoln, Mrs. Hart
further prepared herself for her
special work in the National Y. W.
C. A. Training school. She has been
in active Y. W. Secretarial Service
at Texarkana, Ark., and Casper,
Wyo.
Her educational preparation, her
experience and her pleasing per-
sonality make her a splendid acqui-
sition to Y. W. forces in the Valley,
and under her leadership, the or-
ganization looks forward to a period
of great progress.

By ALICE LANGELIER
Paris, France—(INS)—Coats of a„
kinds are coming in for their share
of the fluffy, frilly, feminine ele-
gance which is bound to prevail this
winter.
Shawl collars, deep circular
flounces and elbow-length cuffs of
fur are lavishly used on afternoon
coats in combination with satin
broadcloth and other smooth wool-
ens. Clever seamings in the mater-
ial often give a yoke effect in the
back.
Heim, who devotes his genius to
designing women’s coats, has built
his winter collection upon geometric
variations of the square and trian-
.
gle. A charming evening wrap of
black silk velvet, embroidered all
over with tiny shmrocks in mother
of pearl sequins, is contrived from
a square of the fabric, a tab of
which extends from the left shoul-
der, the neck being finished with a
large standing collar of white fur.
Another in yellow silk velvet is of
two squares crossing diagonally in
back and ending in points at the
sides with a collar of two white fox
skins, the heads meeting in front.
Black broadcloth makes a new
winter coat with a full length side
panel of flat black caracul joined in
a zig-zag line from shoulder to
hem, the lightning motif being re-
peated in the two-color lining.
