En quire of ' G A. Robinnon: Corvallis. I Corvallis ladies, af least some of them, cultivate the straight front now. 1 he perteetly straight tront is the main thing now in the fashions. It differs materially from the bold front. The latter is what he puts on when she discovers that he wasn t at lodge the night before or what he assumes when his 240 pound mother-in-law catches him in the act of beating Mary Ann. The straight front has reference to the style of architecture in which a portion of the female figure is now built. r Thus for instance, the contour of the front that Governor Geer wears is typically and tech nically correct as to the late fashion From his topmost shirt stud to his upper trouser's button, the topo- grapny 01 his alabaster bust iw without curve or the resemblance thereof. In the entire distance, ev erything is-in straight lines, 'and that is what makes a straight front. m the new fashion such curve as the lady desires is to be just be low the shoulders in the back. The position most desired is target the shoulders as far to the rear as pos sible. The more complete the arch the more strictly is the lady in the heighth of style. The purpose is to give the figure a military air. To carry out the design, a stride is assumed similar to that of a foot ball champion. The head is duck ed slightly forward, and the jaws are firmly set, as though the hus band at home had just been knock ed silly by a straight arm on the eye, or the children had been lifted out of 'the house into the back yard by well delivered place kicks. With this . attfctlde complete, the lady of the straight front spreads her sails to the breeze and ambles down streets a thing of loveliness and the admiration of the fashion able world. THEY "HEARD SHOTGUNS TO HELP WILLAMETTE The Old University's Call for Aid Dr. Ford in Corvallis. - And Saw Deputies And Remembered Fines Docile Halloweeners. ; - ; The late Halloween lacked some,, of the spectacular features of former years. The disruption .. of side walks, the displacement of garden gates, the removal of outbuildings and other incidents characteristic of former occasions did not occur last Friday night. The presence about town of a number of alert special officers, sworn in for the occasion, is doubtless responsible for the new order of things. So far as can be learned every fixture or object of any kind, from a churn dasher to a brick building turned up Saturday morning in ex actly the same place and same con dition in which it was left when darkness and Halloween' fell Fri day evening. In the early evening, "it appeared as if great things might be done. From various parts of town came voices of many young people, , ap parently out for a lark. Rackets of various kinds were made, and it seemed as - though there were trouble in the .air.. Frequently, also the discharge of a shot gun or other firearm was added to the distant tumult. Towards midnieht the shots became more frequent a fact that may in a m a 1 re hive frightened Halloweeners out of their tmrposes. It is likewise tos- sible recollection of the $5 to $10 fines that fell with a sickenine thud upon several of them who were arrested last vear. mav have madejthe Halloween people more' docile. Out at the collesre. nothin? was done Friday night, save that the young man who was left to guard the fountain . was assaulted and thrown into the pond at the base of the figure. The chief injury out there was done the night be fore Halloween. When you try on a pair of shoes, look, for two things-comfort and style. . - You must have, them both! Either one by itself is not enough. It is easy to make a stylish shoe, but it is very difficult to combine the two. To make a stylish shoe that is "comfortable js the high art. A shoe may feel comfortable yet not fit properly. Now it must fit cr you are sure to have trouble. And the better itjits, the better it will wear. The one shoe that "fits where all others fall is Queen Quality." It fits because it is made in an infinate variety of Bizes and styles to suit all shapes of feet and all oc casions.
