Short Skirt In pratl " 1 For evening wear thq short skirt !s dead; for all occasions, in,'fa?t, pave for sport and street clothes. The Teally smart women are mak ing n special point of wearing very long skirts. The more even-length-ed( the more elegant they are. horn; skirts make a big appeal to tho youngest generation. Pre war lengths being unknown xo them, they find real novelty in fashion's latest departure. Personally I feel grateful for any fashions doing away with unsight ly visions such as crowded room.i with rows of seated women most heavily built and dozens of legs of all sizes facing me. ' I've heard it said that there was no reason at all not to display un shapely legs as long as an ugly jj nose or disproportionately largo " mouth was not hidden from view. As a matter of fact, no woman ever does wear a mask because of plain features. There is, there fore, no reason hide a leg even when not perfect in shape. Hide LeTH lit 'Evening Bp this as. it mty, women' this season1 are expected to continue displaying both shapely and un shapely legs during daylight hours, on condition that they hide them from view In the evening The remarkable point . of the present fashion is that for the first time In the history, .of' fashion two distinct styles are worn side by side during the same season the Kh,ort niclrt for dnv wear, lhe loni: one in the evening. Long evening skirts In their present form are not likely to re main a permanent feature. They are a transitory fashion, likely to develop Into the mode of tomor row, so fnr uninvented.

From the New York Tribune: Whether one views Christmas as the mystical 'celebration of an eternal verity, us do the Tuithfui. or merely the celebration of a myth, us do the nnthropoloKbUr, there la no questioning the fact of Christmas. After hundreds of years it still warms hearts to thankful-, nes and generosity. It brings a spirit of youth and rebirth int J , no matter what mood of the worU ! or of 1he Individual. Its ancient fire still has power to light can-! dies, logs, hearts. If there were no Christmas it would be necessary to invent one. No sacred day of the year ex presses a deeper conviction of the human heart. As the emotion of the 'day sweeps over one tho theo logical 'debate of the hour seems oitdly irrevelunt and far away. . To. bo sure, this sweep . of emo tion cannot last throughout the year... e shall be lucky if a spark of its good will remains In our hands to carry us over the black and bitter spots. Perhaps that Is why mankind has always turned to dogma and . ritual -to nneient formulas and ceremonies that have some mystical power to bring down a. Httle' of the light . from ttje heights into the valleys of life. . '- But it is In the flush of the day and the season, in the warmth of '"affection nnti, ..adoration that Christmas' holds, -that one sees be yond the dogma of religion and the dogma of science into the heart of truth. There is worship of the child and of womanhood. But there iv. more than human words have ever adequately expressed. It is a faith in the Tightness of the world. It Is a conviction that honor and beauty and love are perpetually reborn in us If we will but accept them. There is no bet ter word that incarnation for the' belief that one feels: There is no myth or alT'the ages ' that so hutrosses - this inexpressible faith ns dries the story of the Christ Christmas !) Christmas S Flowers :., now on the Pacific Coast, the fa-1 mous i rubber magnate has made it , l Z i''H: When the present Western tour is completed the Firestone ship will have visited virtually every child. Wo all celebrate? the day, what ever -the definition of our faith or agnosticism. For its truth is written In our hearts, whether we will or no. It is part of our price less heritageour collective -humanity, that man can no more erase by argument or reason, than he can still his heart by taking thought. Wishing Yqu a Merry Christmas -Always I have loved to think of those mysterious packages that the piling up in. the .utioret, places of our homes. The high shelf in the closet for the big ones, . the bottom drawer of the big bureau for those thaf will permit such bestowal. 1 catch a glimpse of one on the shelf, and I turn, away quickly, with a -delicious feeling of guilt; for no amount of wrap ping will conceal, the shape of THAT one! - The bureau drawer has been left ajar a dainty perfume that breathes through the tissue wrap ping sends my thoughts back thru the lng years. ...

Fairyland Is Still With Us ' Of course people believe in fairies, otherwiso there would not be green fir trees on the street. There would be no colored lights, tinsel, sparkle, joy. Some people who believe . In fairies pretentd they don't believe in Christmas, but they do. They believe In the baby in the manger, for His Inspiration, penetrates intn the very bone apd sinew- of the nation and distinguishes It from those that do not celebrate Christ mas. There Is nothing like it else where. It is a form 1 of slmp'e spirituality that is unique The world Is a fairyland, but most pr the time the fairyland 1 seen only by the wiser ones the children.

' 'Charity and Christmas', 1 Some years ago, Herbert Quick, the noted author and editor, wis strolling with a friend down Mich igan avenue in Chicago.
