Fashion Decrees
Still Longer
Skirts!
' - By Diana Merwln
(Associated Press Fashion Editor)
PARIS W) "Longer skirts" Is tho
latest fashion cry.
The daytime frocks and suits ex
hibited at the last style collections
displayed skirts from two to threo
Inches longer than early spring mod
els, putting knees completely out of
sight.
The fashionable woman this sum
mer will wear her luncheon and shop
ping frocks 111 Inches from tho
ground, while formal afternoon gowns
have dropped to six Inches from the
floor.
Only two exceptions to the new
edict mark the mode. Sport skirts are
worn no longer than four Inches be
low, the kneo and Informal dinner
and evoulng frocks germinate at the
ankles.
The ankle length frock for restau
rant dining Is one of the favorite
fashions these days, although formal
evening gowns miss .the floor by less
than an luch.
With the rule for longer skirts has
come a tendency to accented hem
lines. Many daytime suits and frocks
have horns scalloped, pinked, plcoted
or faced undernoarth with a color
lighter than the frock.
A favorite evening elogance is the
transparent hem.
Frocks of lace, net or filmy chiffon
are worn over kneelcttgth slips or
different colored combinations ending
In trousered shorts, permitting ankles
and slippers to be at least partially
revealed.
The transparent hem - vogue . has
produced more colorful and Interest
ing designs in evening slippers, one
of tlie newest being a toeless sandal
worn without stockings. -

HAPPY MARRIAGE BEST CAREER,
ACTRESS SAYS AFTER FAILURE

WASHINGTON ( Marriage
that Is, a happy marriage still Is
tho Ideal existence for a woman, In
the opinion of Blanche Sweet, slim,
serious, blue-eyed oiond "veteran" of
the screen.
Though In the Hollywood atmos
phere nearly 20 years she entered
pictures when she was 13 and now
gives her age as 32 the girl who
brought Anna Christie to the screen
has had only one marriage.
But the years .when she was Mrs.
Marshall Nollan, wife of a motion
picture director, meant more to h.er,
she .candidly admits, than her ca
reer on either stage or screen.
In a playlet which lasts 20 min
utes she is having her first taste of
facing an audience In person .in
stead of through the camera.
Her 71 -year-old grandmother, Mrs.,
Blanche Alexander, Is traveling with
hor and apparently eujoylug tho,
novelty.

states the deficiency of rainfall this
spring has exceeded the lack of mois

"The condition of spring wheat
was described as tlie poorest on rec
ord.
"Appeals for financial aid have
reached the agriculture department
from North Dakota and Montana.
Reopening of drouth loans was asked
In Phillips and Valley counties, Mont
ana. nd Mountrail county, North
Dakota.
"Grops were reported to be facing
complete ruin aud farmers In a seri
ous plight. The department replied
there was no authority for reopening
the loans inasmuch as the season
for : planting crops had passed. It
also has pointed out that crop de
struction by the drouth had removed
government security for loans.
"Recent rains In the Red River vat
ley of North and South Dakota gave
needed relief in a limited area, .but
wheat In other sections of the North
west, with the exception of Western
Oregon and Washington, was said by
the weather bureau to have suffered
'considerable .damage.' ,
"Wisconsin had 50 per cent of nor
mal rainfall this spring as compared
with 83 last spring; Minnesota, 70
against 68; North Dakota 61 against
81; Montana 76 against J4; Idaho 87

for the eastern districts of Oregon

Referring to the above dispatch
from Washington, tlie local weather
checking station reports that May

ater the little blond veteran talked
seriously:
"Marriage with the right person
still Is the happiest existence for a
woman In spite of all the career op
portunities now open to her," she
said.
"But people change so even after
they are married. Each develops
new tastes, new Interests. I tried to
make a success of my marriage we
both did but It failed.
"Bvjt othqr marriages fall, even
when the wife is not having a ca
reer," she said.
"I guess marriage ought to bo
taken more seriously Just mado the
one big ultimate thing that people
don't contract until they are very,
very suro pf themselves and each
other."
As for the screen, Miss Sweet be
lieves that girls who do not have too
pronounced personalities, which limit
thorn to certain types and plays, have
tho best chance of success.
