Contrasting satin slippers are

a virture. It is as essential to
humanity as loyalty and truth. It
is, or should be the truth of the,
physical feminine being, expressed
in its most perfect terms.
Woman’s face and form are the. j

Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of
schools, has come out against tht
game of bingo, or any other game
that is inconsistent with police re

have ben op« n to organizations
providing bingo as entertainment
if such organizations obtained a

This Is the season of the year
when we are all studying fashion
notes and planning that momentous
step, the selection of our winter
wardrobe. But, unfortunately, there
are too many of us who will rush
out and buy the latest whim of
fashion without tuking thought as
to whether that particular style will

In style, of course, but it is wise
to consider beauty ns well. You
can be dressed In the height of
vogue and still look like a ridicu
lous caricature of What the well
dressed woman Is wearing. Men
have a habit, often times justifiable,
of making fun of the blind way we
follow the dictates of fashion.
Short Girls Get the Breaks
This Year
Everything seems to be on the
side of the short girl this season.
Shoes with platform soles ure de
signed especially to give her added
height. The newest hats have
peaks and tall feathers to give her
several more Inches towards the
sky. And then, too, there’s the plied
up hulr-dress to give her the illusion
of height. The short girl should
have no difficulty keeping up with
the style und still looking her love
liest. There are only a few pit
falls which she need vuteh.
First of all, she must beware of
horizontal lines which will give her
a wide, dumpy appearance. Vertical
line*, however, will make her look
longer and slimmer. Two-piece
dri-cses, too, are a mistake since
they have a tendency to cut her lr
two, so to speak, and destroy thal
sweeping all-in-one line which wll
add several illusory inches.
Reverse Rules for Tall Girls
The tall girl, on the contrary
must reverse the rules. The nev
platform soles and extremely liigl
heels are not for her. She must
save the swept up hair-dress for
evening and then only If she Is
fortunate enough to have a very tall
man In tow. Even then It Is often
unsatisfactory since you can never
tell when you will find yourself danc
ing with a midget—comparatively!
speaking. Hats for the tall girl'
present a problem tills year. If you
scout around, however; you can find
some that are fashionable and still
not too high In the crown. Yell can
always have the feather cut down
or set at on angle without destroy
ing the line. Muny of the peaks
are designed so that they may bo

Wide brims con be worn with dis
tinction by the taH girl, whereas
they have a tendency to make her

Wide collars, full shoulders, puffy
sleeves are becoming although they
make a small girl look top-beavv.
Even If you think that you are

Vann Leaps Again
We now have the spectacle of

“ 1 ceitful and dishonest.” We
chub': seriously however, whether
anybody in the Negro group will
corao to the defense of this leader
which only gees to prove the type
o leadei he is. Ordinarily, no lead
er in Negro life would be openly
attacked by a white man, high or
low, without Negroes promptly
rallying to the defense of their
own; and ordinarily, no white man
high or low, would have occasion
to attract publicity a leader among
Negroes, except on a social ques
tion in the deep South.
