"to attract the most widely travelled sightseer. % | 8 ‘Autumn is said to be the period of incipient decay but the last ifid snatch at life is done in a most dramatic manner in this great land of ours. /# Good news for/the dance fans of the district.

Richer, and the late Mr. Richer, 108\Spruce iSt. N. Wedding plans are indefinite. * In New York City one Dr. James Bender, a specialist on human behavior, claims the lowering of the hemline is all part of a deep dark plot to get women under men‘s collective thumb.â€" Dr. Bender claims the whole business will only lead to "Victorian degradatiion‘". He says the long. skirt is "the manacle of feminine freedom". That history proves that when women wore a lot of clothing she was the subjected sex and finally in the golden age of Creece when a woman‘s toga just barely reached her gastrocneemius you had‘ the most honest and happiest relations between the sexes. But regardless, of what Dr. Bender says we still like the longer fashions. To be or not to be â€" what, what was that? Why nothing else but the longer skirts of course. Such a controversy has arisen that that question has become headline and photographic news. Recently an article "War Born of Combat Fatigue" appearlng in one of the Sunday newspapers caught my eye and believe it or not the "war‘"‘ referred to was the length Of this years skirt. The article is reâ€" printed here â€" "Paris now claims to have started selling long skirts back to the world on the grounds that people were tired talking about the war and wanted to discuss hemline". Well sir, I bet a cookie that Paris didn‘t foresee another war born of all the talk. It seems that young and old have a little something to say on theâ€" matter. Some hate the newer length skirt, some, like myself, just love them, more feminine, we think, (what, do 1 hear repercussions reverberatâ€". ing my way,) oh well, it even has gotten to the stage where the psychiatrists have hopped on the band wagon. Now in‘the wild winds soft cool blowing Uplifted arms <praying, suppliantly, flowing, Not like another earthy tree But something bordering â€" eternity.
