A Contrast in Winter Silhouettes
___j
By ELEANOR GUNN
When doctor* disagree, It goes
hard with the patient—and when
dressmakers disagree, woman Is
thrown on her own Judgment for the
Important decision as to what her
shadow will make. It may take any
of the traditions shown, yet In them
all is a deference to the short skirt
and a tendency toward sleeve fullness
and In three, at least, a similar
tendency as related to the skirt.
The princess type of dress—regal
and lovely for women who have the
lines to support It with a series of
trains to one side—may be included
In one's list of worth while things,
while, of course, the bouffant picture
type Is a classic. s
In the original Callot, the black
velvet discs were rimmed with pearls
and the bow was a cyclamon pink
faille. One may. look askance at a
bow In so unusual a position, but
nevertheless, so It Is placed by many
of the dress designers. It leaves one
In doubt as to the waistline, and In
this frame of mind, many of them!
unquestionably are.
Most of us, accustomed to the free
dom of either no sleeves at all, or at
least those which do not Interfere,
are a bit sorry to see the fullness
which unquestionably is Intruding,
and perhaps we may rebel against
high collars and skirts which not only
cut Into more material, but must
he deftly hung, yet such Is the de
cree of the style dictators of Paris,
and the woman who would hs con
sidered smart these days, will do well
to obey.
(Coy) right. IStt.l
of B. 8. chapter of the P. E. O. Sis
terhood will be put on Monday, No
vember 24, at the Old People’* Home.
Hostesses: Mesdamea C. A. Tracy, A.
C. Nerness and D. M. Wyckoff,
Bazars.
The ladles of St. Bernard will hold
their annual bazar In the Benson city
hall three evenings beginning Monday
November 24. The Danish sisterhood
Will conduct Its annual bazar Satur
day evening, November 29. All kinds
of fancy work will be for s^le. Lunch
will be served during the afternoon.

The ’24 Pace
I’m In a heck
Of a hurry, dear,
Klsa me good-by
, But shed no tear;
Past are the days
Of the stirrup-cup.
Engines are purring
And pilot is up.
I lunch today
With Chief I. ©. You:
And, back tonight
In far Baraboo,
Address the Yelks
On "Is Justice Decadent?"
A plea for the
Man with thyroid latent.
Tomorrow, my love,
Please call me st five,
I'm due at Shanghai
For the near-peace drive.
Then, with good luck
To plane and to pilot
I'll be with you
And the kiddles by twilight.
Following days
Will be busy as these,
I ccfunt the seal
Of the northern seat—
But nevertheless,
If ths weather holds fine
I’ll be on the links
Sunday morning by nine.

Leather costumes are !>e!ng worn
quite frequently by smart Americans
returning from abroad. They are
either of glace leather or suede and
are unusually well done. A two
piece Jumper dress of shiny black
leather, a white leather coat trimmed
with black fur and jet buttons and a
brown doeskin suit trimmed with
leopard are some of the examples.

Following the celebration of chib
dren’s book week In the public library
has come the Cizrk exhibition with
its great meieage tn the children and
its amazing revelation to grown ups
of the rich storehouse in the minds
and hearts of children.
"When children can be led to a natural
expression such as is done In the class of
Profeasor Clzek In Vienna, education will
have taken a big step forward." says
.Maurice Block. "Ho is undoubtedly a
genius tn pedagogy his background, per
sonality, experience, training have con
spired to make him the outstanding fig
ure that he Is."
“A spirit like Froebel and having the
same great love of humanity In his heart.
To us he is a prophet, and the champion
of childhood's dreams and hopes. Imagin
ings and desires, the most Important
things of all which we have brushed
aulde In our effort to develop only one
phase of hts natural equipment and that
la hi# mind."
"The progression of mental and spiri
tual development that one can trace in
the work of some of the children repre
sented is amazing. One of out American
authorities in matters of art education
commented to the writer ut » visit to this
saino exhibition at the national gfj'«r>
;n Washington. 1). C.: 'I wish grown
people had painted these pictures’."
The exhibition Is one pioneering aspect
of education that shoots a ray of light
into the future. More than 3,000 people
saw It on the first four dsys It was open.
