STILL THE GIRDLE AND TANGO
DRAPERY ON MODISH STREET GOWNS
—
Even the dog in the picture has a look of admiration for the new
gowns worn by his mistress and v er friend. One who may want to
make a modish street dress could not find prettier or more practical mod
els than those sketched to show some of the latest details which French
couturiers have devised. The costume, on the figure at the right, sug
gests the ultra smart combination of contrasting materials, it being
black moire with a dull Indian red charmeuse skirt. The collar is of
tan net embroidered in futurist design and gay colors. It forms a point
on the shoulders of the 'blouse. The deep folded girdle forms almost a
tango drapery on a two-piece skirt in peg-top effect, which may be
slashed on the side seams. Size 36 requires 2 1-2 yards of 36-inch ma
terial for the blouse and girdle, and 3 1-8 yards of the same width for
the skirt.
A new idea is noticed in making the side front gore appear like
drapery and a sash in one, in the smart niggerhead brown eponce dress
with a fichu of ecru lace and net starting from a collar of striped silk.
The skirt is cut in four pieces and extends to a high waistline in the mid
dle back, showing a girdle only part way round. Size 36 requires six yards
of 42-inch material. Both patterns may be had in 5 sizes. 15 cents each.
On receipt of this amount, together with your measurement (Be sure
and get your measurements over .he fullest part of the bust) addressed
to PATTERN DEPARTMENT, TIMES-RECORDER, we will be pleased to
secure this pattern for you.
HEIRESS OF SEVENTEEN
ELOPES WITH SINGER
Millionaire Oil Man’s Child
Marries “Movie” Singer
Washington, Pa., Sept. B.—Washing
ton society was stirred today when it
learned that Miss Orla D. Murphy
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Mur
phy, of this place and Charles P. lams,
a moving picture show singer, had
eloped yesterday to Cumberland, Md
vhere they were married.
The elopement follows a boy and girl
romance of several years’ standing and
marks the culmination of a courtshi'
carried on in spite of strenuous efforts
made by the girl’s parents to end it,
John Murphy, oil producer, is rated
a millionaire and the second richest
man in Washington. The daughter, 17
years old, three years ago heard lams
sing at a “movie” show here one nigh
and fell in love with him. She was
sent away to a fashionable school in an
effort to break up the romance. She
baffled both parents and teachers, how
ever, by smuggling letters out to he’ -
sweetheart, and twice ran away to meet
him.
Mrs. lams’ father is away on a bus -
ness trip and her mother refuses ft
say whether or not parental forgive
ness will be forthcoming.
How About It?
“Speaking of the bridal path.”
“Well—”
“1 say, speaking of the bridal path,
I suppose it has reference to the path
where a man runs his head into a
halter.”—Jacksonville Times-Union,

The president, accompaned by his

Just as they were crossing the ca?
