I-1 FAMOUS I a m i “ Miracle on a llridfie" By FLOYD GIBBONS NOW it’s a well known fact, boys and girls, that ad venturers have adventures, but why is it nobody ever gives a thought to adventurers’ wives? They have adven tures too—particularly if they travel around with their hus bands like Grace Stanley of Fairview, N. J. Mrs. Stanley is the wife of the lntc Col. King Stanley, a traveler and adventurer of long standing. During the four years that she trav eled with him, she says she hnd enough adventure to fill an encyclopedia. But the one that gave her the biggest thrill and also the worst fright happened down in the wild and woolly state of Texas in the spring of 1926. Grace Stanley and the colonel were taking a trip by auto mobile from Texas to Shreveport, La. Just beyond Marshall, Texas. Uioy ran Into a severe storm—and when storms are se vere down on the Texas plains, they’re severe, and no mistake. This one was a combination of thunder, lightning, rain and hail The rain eanir down in sheets. There was no cover in sight, and nothing to do but go on. They were getting close to the state line when the car came to a bridge spanning a deep cut through which ran the tracks of the K. C. and S. railroad. As they hit the end of that bridge. Grace heard a DEAFENING CRACK. A sudden flash of light almost blinded her. The car came to a sudden stop and the air was filled with a sulphurous smell. Lightning! Hud It struck them? With her heart in her mouth, \ Grace raised her eyes. There were three people In the car—her husband and the driver in the front seat and Grace herself in the rear. The men. up front, were all right. Grace breathed a sigh of relief. Bjt at the same time some thing inside of her was telling her to sit still—not to move even so j The Driver Gel Out on the Running Beard. much as a single muscle Without moving her head she turned her eyes to the right. The sight she saw there FROZE THE BLOOD in her vein* The belt of lightning had ripped “way the entire earner of the bridge. The car was standing on three wheel*, teetering pre cariously ever a fifty foot chasm. Its fourth wheel—the left rear one—hanging FAR OFT OVER STACK. Then the Car Started to Sag. The men in the front seat weren't moving, cither. They sat stiff and motionless, with grim, set expressions on their faces Then, slowly, the car began to sag to the right-tow ard the broken, tw isted wrecked side of the bridge There wasn't any time to waste. Quickly they talked the matter over -decided the only thing that could save them was to shift as much weight as possible to the left side of the car. Grace, who was in the pear scat on the right side, directly over the dangling wheel, couldn't move because the seat beside her was filled with luggage It was up to the driver and the colonel to do the shifting The ear settled a bit more Grace held her breath as she felt herself sinking The driver opened the door, slid over art his seat and got out on the running board Both he and the colonel were big men— both of them weighed in the neighborhood of twv hundred pounds—and Grace found herself breathing a prayer of thankfulness for that In an agony of suspense she watched while the driver got out and her hus band slid over in the seat to take his place behind the wheel * A« this time," wars Grace, "the ear kepi aa seizing down toward the right It was prehaMy ewiy a mutate *r Is*, hat it seemed like a thousand years.

Ekins, first-cliss news- j paper man, has gone around the Arthur llrlabnur globe by air plane, covering j 24,720 miles in 18 days, 14 hours, 56 minutes. Such ! a trip seems wonderfully fast now. Soon it will ; seem wonderful ly slow. Air prog ress is rapid. Be cause it was done scientifically, by \ machinery, the ; eighteen -day trip seems less romantic than the Nelly B 1 y seventy-odd day trip that beat Jules Verne's ‘‘Around the World in Eighty Days." Nelly Bly. clever newspaper woman, knew how to make it Interesting, going out of her way to travel by elephant, camel, jinrickshas, etc. Flying around the world costs about SS.000. Some day some woman, let us hope, will balance her fashion budget, decide just what she wants to wear, and then wear it. as men have done, but the day is far away. These are some of the hats from which you* wife, daughter, sister will choose this season: Hats shaped like East Indian war shields, hats heavy in gold em broidery; flat pillbox turbans, gold braided: Russian style hats off the face, with tall tiara fronts: hsts of Persian lamb and embroidered felt; small toques, dipped down front and back, covered with soft feathers, "the military touch predominat ing." Why, do you suppose, do women take so much trouble to spoil faces and heads naturally bea tiful? It cannot all be the fault of hat makers. Gen Smediey D. Butler, retired fighting major general of the United States marines, asks the Women's Christian temperance union to start a campaign against drunken automobile drivers, and also help peace by working for a constitu tional amendment forbidding the President or congress to rend troops out of the country. You cannot change men by leg islation. as was discovered in our prohibition mistake; you must change the men from the inside. For the first time in history. New Jersey, selecting a jury all women, has surprised some annoyed others. Why* For ages women have been judged and sentenced by individual men or groups of men. They have been ducked, branded with hot irons, put m the stocks, beheaded, hanged, burned alive Is there injustice m turning the thing around for a change; at least no twelve women would burn or duck anybody.

NICHOLAS THE importance of period fash ions for evening this year means that they will be rejected in the gowns worn at many smart autumn and winter weddings There is a quaintness about the early Victorian fashions that especially offers al luring possibilities tr brides who would have a '"picture" wedding scene. Young brides with slender figures ca*. wear becomingly these demure gowns of Victorian inspiration in silk taffeta or heavy slipper satin. The lovely gown pictured creates romance and poetry for the modern wedding scene This 1936 version of a Victorian wedding gown is in terpreted in traditional ermine-white (Hire silk satin. The basque buttons quaintly down the back. The full sleeves give the broad shoulder ef fect that accents, by way of con trast the slender girlish waistline. The bride carries a prayer book with gardenias. Of course one s bridal party must cafry out the idea so the flower girl has a period look m a Victorian cream s.Ik taffeta princess dress that is gored to fit at the waistline with a widely spreading skirt which, by the way. stresses the new length for little girls party dresses this season. This wee maiden ties a lavender silk ribboc in her ham and carries a bouquet of purple asters and cream colored gladioli with a silk tulle frill The bridesmaid befittingly wears a cream, sdk satin Victorian gcwa. The fuD sleeve, slender line and back fullness are important stye de tails that present-day designers art definitely introducing is them new est creations A demure LrJe br.aa silk net bocme*. adds to the q_ir: ness of the costume. The flowers she carries are purple and cream asters. If one prefer that the attendants dress colorfully rather than keep strictly to cream satin, they may wear pert gowns in autumn hues of peau de soie or silk taffeta with puff sleeves and full skirts. As quaint and as “period'’ looking as if she had stepped form the fashion pages of a Godey appears a brides maid who is gowned in a frock of lavender silk taffeta with a tiny wine-colored silk velvet hat sur mounted with three hyacinth blue ostrich tips. An armful of purple, rich red and cream asters adds to the color glory of the picture. One thing is certain, whether she is a classic bride in traditional satin or in soft clinging fabrics, or a bride in quaint frock of Victorian or directoire inspiration, she will be dressed in silk of one type or an other. This year it is good style to hava one’s attendants wear the same styla and the same fabric as one’s own gown, only in different colors. If desired, the bridesmaids may all wear the same color, or that which is novel and new, different shades of a basic color giving some what of an sombre effect to the group as a whole. For the important evening en semble. smart trousseau will in clude a black velvet evening gown wh-ch will make the bride look like a re-uicaraation of Sargent’s famous “Hadame X. ' Top it off with a matching hip - length s.lk velvet laokat and it can be worn on the ueneymuun for dinner and formal wear. © Western Newspaper L'oioa.
