“CLASSICS” IN EVEN’NG GOWNS;
SCHOOL FROCKS OF GINGHAM
CERTAIN types or evening gowns
of present vogue are Classics In
dress the same as certain books and
poems are classics in literature. The
prestige of these sartorial “classics”
rests solely upon the supremacy of
fabric elegance and its artful draping,
suggestions of frills or furbelows be
ing strictly taboo.
Such are the lovely gowns which
are “poems without words” created of
either lustrous crepe satin or of sheer
velvet. In their development the
stylist concentrates on the theme of
the snug hipline, with classic draping

strategic point at the side or front, at
the same time accomplishing the
graceful irregular hemline which Paris
decrees.
An exponent of the classic type is
here pictured. It is made of heavy
white crepe satin. As will be seen, it
has the coveted snug hipline und It
glories in the absence of “fuss and
feathers.”
For the daughter of the household
who is “going away” to college or
linishing school, the subject of party
frocks is a vital one. Selection of an
evening dress modeled after the style
of the one illustrated will proclaim
the discriminating taste of its
wearer.
If not of satin, then choose velvet

Showing Possibilities of Gingham.
‘velvet season” Is surely' upon us. The
new velvets are marvelously textured,
being supple and almost as sheer as
chiffon. In fact they are variously
called sheer ■ velvet, transparent vel
vet, also georgette velvet.
Black velvet fashioned along youth
ful lines is the mode of the hour for
the debutante and her younger sister.
However, for those who are inclined
to color, the new autumn satins and
velvets are a revelation • -of color
beauty.
There is a whole range of leaf
browns brought out this season which
are unusually attractive. There is a
tendency toward wine tones, too, and
many delightful shades of blue. Beige
and green are also included in the
li -< favored c' lors.
J^WxcepUon to the rub: of no trim
ming for the fashionable classic
drape silk and velvet evening frock,
is the presence of a Sparkling rhine
stone buckle or ornament, placed
either at the girdle or at the hipline.
After all. the back-to-schbol move
ment is not without its compensations
for the returning vacationist. New
clothes, for instance I Think of the
fascinating frocks and sweaters and
coats and shoes ’it’ everything ready
“on demand” for the home-faring
schoolgirl.
The vogue for cotton fabrics plays
right into the scheme of suitably out
fitting girls and young women for
school and college. The winsome frock
in the picture demonstrates the style
possibilities of gingham.
It combines one-tone yellow ging
ham with a plaid related to it in col
oring. The clever jacket of plain yel
low counts for much in that it nre
^rnts -ooy a, rmiran.v'.“ iue'-t,l«f
-to and from school. The one-piece
frock minus the jacket is just the sort
which becomingly enters into the en
vironments of a class room.
Now that the stores are making it
a point to show one-tone ginghams de
signed to complement the patterned
ones, there is every Incentive to give
to them an ensemble styling.
Stunning effects are worked out by
using tw-o and three colors together of
these one-tone ginghams. This may
be accomplished in different ways.
That is, several shades of the same
color may be assembled, such as light
blue, delft and na/y together. A navy
gingham plaited'sk^rt, topped with a
blouse striped eke the new sweaters
in several tones of blue, by’ jewing
horizontal strips of the gia^iam to
gether, would prove a source of de
light to tiny schoolgirl aspiring to the
most stylish.
Another method w to combine con-
Irn-ting colors, such as gray’ gingham
with yellow or green or any bright
shade. Insets and appliques of the
color, with gray for the foundations,
abound in opportunity for smart ef
fects. Pipings of white or gay-colorec
gingham are also much in evidence.

Clock Acts as TrafficW^ ik
Cop in Kansay Cajjßfr
The alarm clock, faithful .servant of
the American home, mow is being em
ployed as a warning ’^mt the busmen
man’s * automobile /ms been parked
long enough and shat It’s -time i ■
move on. ।
With a two-bom''parking limit in the
business section of Topeka, several
houses have Installed alarm clocks in
the offices. At the end of the two
hours the alarm rings. A man gets
up, hurries out and moves all the au-/
tomobiles belonging to employees of
the company.
The alarm is set up two hours and
the performance repeated. So it goes
throughout the day. Business hotis< ;
are using the idea and claim it works
to perfection. More and more estab
lishments are reported taking up the
move.
Clutch on New Car Apt
to Grab More Abruptly
The clutch on a new car is likely
to work a little more abruptly than
one on a car that has been broken in.
The plates on the new clutch take
hold so gently during the first stagey
of clutching that the driver imagin'
they are not taking hold at all. lie,"
may then let the pedal back througlq
its final engagement much too sud
denly. When the clutch is older il -
plates grab a little more. The driveri
notices the engagement of the clutch,
taking effect sooner and thus is morel
caretul during the final release of the|
pedal.

brakes every day after taking the,

over-cautious to apply them within the'
first block, whether il is necessary or I
not, just to determine that nothing has’
gone wrong since the car was last
used. It may mean the difference be-j
tween life and death some day, and!
the test thus may be regarded as a’

"What is my
..present car worth
in trade?”
Occasionally you hear a car owner
say: "I’m going to buy such and such a new
car because the dealer has offered me the
best deal on my present car.”
But without understanding the economics of
* trade-in transactions, you cannot be sure
that the largest allowance offered means the
best deal for you.
These are basic facts:
IYour present car has only one fundamental
basis of value; i. e., what the dealer who accepts
it in trade can get for it in the used car market.
2 Your present car has seemingly different values
because competitive dealers are bidding to sell
you a new car.
3 The largest allowance offered is not necessarily
the best deal for you. Sometimes it is; some
times it is not.
4 An excessive allowance may mean that you are
paying an excessive price for the new car in
comparison with its real value.
5 First judge the merits of the new car in com
parison with its price, including all delivery and
finance charges. Then weigh any difference in
allowance offered on your present car.
Remember that when you trade-in your pres
ent car you are after all making a purchase,
not a sale. You are simply applying your
present car as a credit toward the purchase
price of a new car.

Victims of Sleeping
Sickness in England
More limn S,(KM) people have died
from encephalitis lethargicn, the so
called sleeping sickness, in England
and Wales in the last five years, ac
cording to an announcement recently
made by the minister of health. Health
authorities in England are expressing
alarm over lhe encaphalitis situation
even though the number of cases has
been reduced from 5,000 in 1924 to
2,207 in 1920. It lias been estimated
that about 30 per cent of all cases die,
and that 70 per cent of the recov
eries show various disease manifesta
tions ranging from mild conduct dis
order to complete paralysis. The
London county council has made ef
forts to provide for the treatment of
partly recovered victims, but this
meets the needs of only a compara
tively small group. It has been point
ed out to Ilie home secretary that
there is need of providing an institu
tion where children can receive spe
cial treatment, for its after effects
are recognized as a contributing
cause of delinquency. Active need of
scientific research to combat this
scourge is urged.

Queer Beliefs Still
Existing in Norway
That superstition is still strong it
some parts of Norway is plainly
shown by a report from a govern
mental official who visited Lofoten in
northern Norway. In a desolate place,
where he took a rest, lie found Hr
body of n dog nailed to a bircb tree
and hanging with head downward. A
closer investigation of this uncanny
find revealed a piece of wood nailed
to the tree under the dog and bearing
the inscription: “I give you, oh my
faithful dog, to dentil. Kneeling and
in sorrow, I kill you and nail you to
this tree with incantation th-t all
wild beasts shall lose their tee n and
leave my' cows and reindeers in
pence.”
In all probability, one of the Lapps
has here besought the spirits and fol
lowed the tradition of thousands of
years ago when favorite animals were
sacrificed to gain the favor of the
Great Spirit of Nature.
Guard British Food Route
Imperialism has increased insect
pests by cleaning jungles and plant
ing crops, thus upsetting natures
equilibrium. One-fifth of man’s trop
ical harvests are eaten by insects, and
as half the British empire is in the
tropics, and Dominion farms are in
the front line of attack, Britain has
established an emergency bureau to
discover parasites that can do more
than cruisers to keep the food route
guarded.
