Shirrings FiH Yoke Shirrings on the fabric of the dress fill this yoke space in many instances. An insert ribbon of shirring terminated with a shirred and insert bow at the bustline outlines the bib in one instance. Tucks rounded out from the collarline toward the armhole give the dicky lock on another dress. This costume, in brown wool with push-up sleeves and a tiny white pique collar, repeats the round tucking-lines at the hip. An inset of accordian pleating i the yoke for a printed silk dress whose skirt is pleated to match. Skirt fullness is never exaggerated and most often swept to the back. The designer has made frequent use of panels which hang from a fish-tall-like seaming at a low back waistline. Where a straight look to a skirt is favored, as in one black woolen suit with vertical melon-shaped tucking around the jacket peplum, straight hanging back pieces are provided in the skirt for walking ease. Horizontal melon cuts are the apparent inspiration for the front of other jacket peplums. With those hiplines, Miss Benenson has teamed smaller melon-like elbow cuffs. Choice of Silhouettes For both day and evening there is ample choice between slim and full silhouettes. One black net evening dress has an over-all pattern in appliqued shirred narrow ribbon. It billows handsomely over the sheen of a black horsehair underskirt. Black crepe is used for a slimly elegant evening costume with a brief bolero. The back of the dress carries a low, flat bustle over hanging the gathered skirt panel below it. The straight neckline of the dress and edges of the bolero are trimmed with black net appliqued with grapes and leaves in matching velvet and embroidery.

Hatch, vice-president of the Union Wire Rope company, who spoke to business students recently, punched cattle in Oklahoma when he was a boy. He lived in Bartlesville where one of the major attractions was Emmett Dalton, the last of the Dalton gang that terrorized the middle west around 1830 with bank robberies and killings. Mr. Hatch told the following story about Dalton: Emnett had just been released from the penitentiary at Lansing, Kans., where he had been put because Oklahoma didn't have a jail that could hold him. He had married the widow of Jim Lewis, a man who had been shot by the sheriff of Bartlesville for bootlegging whiskey to the Osage Indians, and had settled down on a ranch near the town. Dalton slowly drawled. One day Mr. Hatch and a friend rode over to Dalton to talk with him a bit. The talk got around to Al Jennings, a notorious bandit who had also just gotten out of Lansing and was currently shooting up the surrounding countryside. Mr. Hatch happened to ask Dalton how come he didn't tear loose like Jennings had and start out robbing and shooting again. "Aw hell, son, I ain't reformed, I'm jest subdued."
