Hints To Ladies
About Fashions

You might as well face it,
girls. Hem lines are down, and
like love, low hem lines are here
to stay—down, down, down.

However, those wrestler's
square shoulders of last year
have been rounded back to
normal; waists are smaller; hips
are rounded.

Here's the peachcake.
Dresses are concentrating on
skirts this fall. They are either
streight or slim, or they billow
out like the spinnaker of some
Dream Boy's yacht. Coats, too,
are good and ample. You've got
to get those coats around those
skirts—if you're going to get
around.

Well, well, what do you think
of this: Shoes are beginning to
look like shoes again with
closed toes and closed heels. A
shoe high at the ankle is the
latest fashion. No more ventila-
tion on your tootsies.

Shoes are coming in a variety
of colors and stockings are
dyed to match; red, green,
wine, and gray. Also, you won't
have to look like the mail man
with his leather sack when it
comes to bags this fall. Bags
that are small-in-hand or long,
slim envelope style are the
thing in hand bags this fall.
Back again is the narrow
belt.

A good solid color for the
fall and winter will be brown.
It dares to give even the basic
black a sun for its money. All
shades of brown, brilliant
brown, spice brown, saddle
brown, contrast browns are tops
this season.

WINTER GRASS IS
DOING WELL HERE

The grounds surrounding the
plant of the Slater Manufactur-
ing Co., Inc., and its property
adjacent thereto, has recently
been sown in winter rye grass.
This grass has already come up
and is rapidly forming a carpet,
which will add much to the
appearance of Slater during the
coming winter months.

Each year in the early fall
this type of grass has been
planted and forms a wonderful
background for the winter type
of shrubbery which blooms or
bears berries during the winter
months.

[article continues on col. 2, middle section]

All of this adds to the
attractiveness of te grounds at
Slater and helps it to overcome
the dead appearance of winter.
