Once more the fashionable glass of the hour will . reflect the hour-glass figure.: Not exactly the full hour-glass of prc-chemise frock days but at least, a half hour glass. Curves bofh concave and convex where they should be according to Nature will once a pa in be according to Fash Jon also. To look as nearly like a pencil as possible will no longer be the acme of feminine heart's desire. We have been cut on the straight and narrow so long that it is going to be some job to get back Into our softly feminine mid-Victorian curves again but it if always much easier to let out than to take in provided the material is there Xow the arms are allowed at large untrammeled by restricting sleeves and short skirts have emancipated our underti immings it seems only fair and just that our long stayed hips should be given the freedom of the i sees. As forerunners of the hips return fthe side ruffles, panniers, puffs and draperies on the new fall skirts are ;but a few of the infallible signs to 'show which way the new fall figure jtends td curve. f Increased fullness in the skirts as well makes for a fuller silhouette and increased brevity proves the long and j short of it is that Paris is winner In the little same of skirts, that has been waged all season between the Yan kee and the Gallic modistes. i Naturally hip curves means also bust curves and a regular .indented Farewell ye out-going, straight lines, welcome ye incoming curves! The ' double-chinned, umply hipped sister hood greet you and now once more that poetic little phrase, "get on to her curves" will have some meaning. Fund to I'iMht Xttiin, i WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. Included in the additional $1,500,000 asked of congress yesterday by Attorney Oen jeral Palmer to push tho 'campaign against profitteers and food hoarders is a fund for enforcement of wartime prohibition. At the department of justice today it was said that it would be impossible to estimate what portion of the fund yuld be used in this way. "We can't tell how long we are go ing to be intrusted with prohibition enforcement," said an official. "If the bill now pending in congress goes through, enforcement will be left to a prohibition commissioner under tho treasury department. "It would bo a .difficult matter, therefore, to determine what part of the $1,500,000 fund would be expanded in this particular part of the work. An operative of the bureau of invest Ra tion may be working on some case and run into a violation of the prohibition laws. It would be his duty to either pursue tho investigation or report it and. let another agent get assigned to it. We can only take care of nil cases by having a lump sum which provides for the investigation und de tection of crimes ' LONDON'S STISKFT AMKS.
