New York, Mareh iM . - A new vyjsa
of .frock has appeared in the mqtle.
This frock has not been worn
hi ne e our entire wardrobes have been
under the influence of sports clothes.
v It is a frock that, is more feminine
\ and more ? -I have to use the word ?
"dressy" than anything we have
dared to wear for three years.
: * This' newly arrived town is called
a "bridge frock," but the name does
f not :it all explain it. The true
bridge frock is a short sleeved in
formal evening frock of the sort
that we like to call a "dinner gown."
mad<- with a lace and chiffon long
sleeve;! bolero-jacket or other type
of short jacket. . It is usually a com
binaton of lac.? and chiffon,? occa
sionally a combination of printed and
plain chiffon.
Paul Caret, tile Paris designer
who launched this mode, says that
with a sports-street .costume and a
bridge frock a smart woman is well
dressed for all of her waking hours.
? except for the most formal evening
a (fairs.
There have been shown, from time
to time, frocks somewhat similar to
this new bridge gown. In fact every
season some enterprising designer
put- forth a sort of "one-man-top."
dress. You generally have to undo
thtei or four elaborately, concealed
snap-fasteners, work ' your way into
another hidden set of armholes. and
lo, the simple afternoon frock you've
been wearing becomes an evening,
gown. Sometimes they have a panel
that unties and becomes a eape. All
this is most depressing and always
looks as if you'd changed it while
coming in from out of town on the
Tunerville Trolley.
This Frock Has Two Uses
The new bridge frock is com
pletely simple, and a direct outcome
of the crowded lives, we lead today.
In a froCk of this tort you can play
bridge, attend a late tea, and then
give an extra twist to your three
yards of pearls, a new touch of pow
der to your long-spffering nose, and
dash otrt to dine.
Your * little lace and chiffon coat
is over your arm when you arrive,
and perhaps you have removed the
diamond pin from the shoulder of

comes a more formal object, fit to
dine out <?r go to the theatre. ,
Or, you may wear your .little lace
and chiffon frock, without the ja? k-|
et, just as you would wear any
oilier informal evening frock, under
a simple evening wrap 10 dinner or

Th" colors in these new frocks are ,
nearly all of ;i neutral, soft or pinky
beige nature. Ashes of roses, dull ,
I'oral. Snuiky gray, and a. range of
gray-blut , and ashey blue shades.
These are combined with plain chif

Some of these gowns -are of ,
jlain georgette crepe, trimmed by :
land-work and tuekings. Others
have a litrhl tracery of gold thread
embroidery or even fine gold lace, i
'?.ace used on these frocks is often!
anted with an untique tone or given
a gruyish or bluish caste to match
the chiffon with which it is used. j
! These m? me wl.at faded pastel col - 1
ors are 'taken from the canvases of
certain modern French painters
whose work is having a decided in
fluence on the designers of fabrics
both hate and in France.
Evening Frocks are - Printed
A near relation to the bridge,
?frock is the new flowered evening
gown, made of crepe or ehiffon, with
'a ?'V'V.ncck and a slight flutter of
drapery at one hip. . Several of the
most, important houses in Paris show
tlv? tyi'.f of evening gown. It is air
ways unt rimmed and depends upon
the beauty and delicacy of its fab
ric for its charm.
Louiseboulanger, whose collection :>
ril way? one of the most interesting
'in Paris, makes an evening gown of
.flowered chiffon, made .slightly !<uvi
er in the back than in the front, with
two waist-lines defined, a normal and
a low v.aist-liof. Then, and this is
the connecting link between this,
gown and the bridge frock, there is I

out in the course of the talk ? tnai
only I'JU births in Transylvania
county were recorded during 1U2;>, I
which seems a very low record for a
period of twelve months, and' the J
speaker was of the opinion that ail
births in the county were not being
reported to the proper authorities as I
they should be. It was pointed out
that failure on. the part of parents'
.lo report births ran thv death rate
.of the county up too "high in propor
tion.
It was stated by Dr. Buchanan that
medical inspection of the schools
| would not be undertaken until next
'fall, but that a health educational i
campaign would be put " on next
month in all the schools of the county
.for the prevention of tuberculosis '
and .other diseases among l he sclioorl
i t-kriltl ren . He further stated that a
Jr-?e tuberculosis clinic will be held
:i Brevard in Ma.\ or June, and that
the services of a specialist will be
secured, for this occasion, .
Iti closing 'his remarks, Dr. ? Buch
anan urged the parent-tea* h- i a.
socuftions and various organizations
of the community to boost all the
tini-'j. ajnd to give their support and
cooperation in the work, for without
it, he asserted, he would be greatly
handicapped in his efforts to safe
guard the health of the peopl.e of
Transylvania county.

A FRIEND OF MINE
"When I take my vacation I like to relax
both physically and mentally. I like to be
entirely free from business cares and wor
ries. It sounds difficult but it isn't.
"You see I have my home and other prop
erty insured. The Brevard Banking- com
pany collects my rents, watches my in
vestments and takes care of my current
obligations.
"Not only that but I have a Safe Deposit
Box there in which I store my deeds,
bonds, insurance papers, etc. This costs
me $3.00 a year. Just think of it. Abso
lute protection from tire and t lie ft. This
alone makes my vacation ideal and to me
the service cannot be measured in dollars
and cents."
We still have a few available boxes.
