Paris Style Says
— I
The Summer Girl Will Have More
Covering, Though With
Less On Her Back,
Paris.—‘‘Miss Summertime” came
to Paris this week with a wardrobe
that brought visions of leafy bow
ers and made the Winter costumes
of the best- dressed women In the
fashion capital look drab enough
for an old clothes sale.
The Summer girl, the first fash
ion show of the year indicates, is
to have a characteristic ‘'allure."
She will have, in general, a little I
more covering than last year, but
with a little less on her back.
Fashion statistical experts have
had trouble in measuring her skirts,
because *'M 1 s s Summertime'’
changes costume so rapidly that no
two measures read alike. In the
main, however, about as much silk
Stocking Is to be shown as last year.
Arms will be covered sometimes at i
dinner, but the evening gowns
which have sleeves possess only
scant backs.
Some of the most important ,
dress-makers have been hanging
back cai the Summer style shows
owing to an agreement to exhibit
their ideas later than usual in or
der to prevent copying of their
models.
While the old-line houses thus
hesitated, the new house of Maggy
Rouff in the Champs Elysees, for- |
mally introduced its conception ol
•'Miss SummertiYnc.” The party
was attended by several hundred of
the sartorially important people of
Paris and the affair was enlivened
by three jazz bands. Altogether It
was quite theatrically conceived
style show, ns well as being the j
largest that Paris has seen. Per-;
sonages in the style-making world
hailed it as an answer to their
hopes that Paris would meet and
defeat the foreign competition in
fashions, an industry which the
city has regarded as strictly her
own for nearly two centuries.
Operetta To Be Given
At Lattimore Feb. 1st
"In Old Louisian*.” To Be Present
ed By Music And Arts Dept.
Of High School.
On Friday evening February 1.
7: *5 o’clock the music department
of Lattimore high school presents
the operetta "In Old Louisiana’’ by
Dodge-Dodge. This operetta, under
the direction of Miss Wlloree Cal
ton and Karl Jordan promises to
be one of the best in the history of
the school.
Those playing the leading roles:
Miss Bleka Blanton as Rose Far
ley, and Max Gardner as Richard
St. John, present a near tragic ro
mance which holds one in suspense
to within a few seconds of the end
of the play.
Martha and Monty, played by
Selma Davis and Lyman Martin re
spectively, present a love affair both
pathetic and humorous but the
persistent efforts of Monty bring
about the ending we like to 6ee.
Scudder, Tims and Martin, play
ed by Dufaye Bridges, Robert Falls,
and Yulan Washburn, in the order
named, play the part of conspira
tors who seek to wreck the birth
right of the Innocent Rose Farley
by manufacturing evidence that she
is, by birth, an octroon slave girl.
Scudder leads in this plot because
of the indifference Rose shows to
ward his love for her. The cul
mination of this plot is a duel be
tween Scudder and Richard St..
John.
Ned and Judi<\ colored servants to
Pilot and Rose Farley, ard played
by Beatrix Blantcn and Wyan
Washburn, supply the laughs which
are always stimulating in a play of,
this type.
Pilot Farley, foster father to Rose,
pilot of the record-breaking sh.p
‘ Eclipse’’ and owner of the San j
Souci plantation, is played by Tyree |
Green. He plays the part of a non
assuming sea captain and the role
is accompanied by many introduc
tory solos supported by ringing |
choruses presented by thirty of the j
best high school voices in North i
Carolina. The characters are well j
chosen and the play should be a .
treat to all who attend. Don't for
get the date! Friday evening, Feb
ruary 1, at 7:45 o’clock.
"Cussing” Reverently.
(Monroe Enquirer.)
The Cleveland Star, commenting
upon an elderly man who never in j
his life used profanity, wonders
what his reactions might have been
when "the plow handles caught
him amidship while working a
‘newground’ or when a root broken
by the plowshares slapped him on
the shin?” The Shelby paper relates
thgt Chief Hamrick expresses his
wrath with "Dad Hang It!” While j
Attorney McBrayer eases his choler
with "Dial that thing!’’
Monroe once had a pood citizen
w'ho "got by" after damning things
generally, in a soft voice, adding
"And I say it reverently.”
Too often the of naval
rivalry is the appfx of discord.
