PARTICULARLY satisfactory afternoon dress for the fuller figure is one with a slim skirt, slightly flared at the bottom and a bodice that gets iis amplitude from darts, cleverly placed over the bust-line, so that the dress at no time gives too fitted an impres- sion. Our pattern for today is a versatile | one that can be worked up in an.in- finite variety of ways. As it stands the dress is made from a seven-piece pattern. The cowl collar is made sep- | | arately. It is cut in one piece and | tacked across the back from shoulder | seam to shculder seam. The neckline of the dress beneath is finished off | in a narrow square in front. This admits of different changes, which need not confine the trimming treat- ment to any special type of collar expression. Color and fabric mean so much this Winter. Black continues to be a favor- ite with large women for their semi- dressy clothes. When it is used light accents are enormously popular for the sleeve facings and the neckline | decoration. White satin over black is the predominant contrast again. Lame has its followers, too, and so have the new off-white tones used in the | Schiaparelli manner—which means | with taste and discretion. 1934—PART THREE. r Velvets continue to be featured for afternoon frocks. And so do the rich cantons, the dull clokys and the satin- back crepes which offer inspiration for ingenious manipulation through the employment of both sides of the material. Sheer woolens of the thin- | nest variety are other aftgrnoon fab- | rics that give satisfaction and which have become general favorites because of their rich depth and splendid com- bining qualities.

ITS6TO1 AGAINST GOLDEN WEDDINGS Life Insurance Estimates, Exclud- ing Divorce Hazard, Favor 25-Year Bliss. ‘The odds are 6 to 1 against a young married couple “seeing it through” to their golden wedding anniversary, ac- cording to Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. statisticians. If you want to bet on it, however, you can probably get much better odds, because the statisticians base their calculations merely on the chances of newlyweds living to a ripe, old age, and do not take into consid- eration the divorce hazard. A 22-year-old bride and a 25-year- old bridegroom have approximately one chance in six of living out their 50 years together, it is figured, while this same couple is a “3-to-4 shot” to spend 25 years together. Further than that, barring divorce, the pair is almost & “sure thing” to be married 10 years. Long shot players might be inter- ested to know that the bride of 37 and the bridegroom of 42 stand about one chance in a thousand of seeing the fiftieth anniversary of ‘their wedding. —_ BOY PLAYS SANTA CLAUS WITH FAMILY’S HOARD Distributes Dollar Bills to School- mates Until Teacher Halts 5-Year-Old’s Gifts.

But a teacher, shown one of the bills by a happy youngster, quickly squelched the young philanthropist. Taking what remained of the money, she called the parents. It developed that the boy had found the family hoard and had carried it off to school to distribute. All the money was recovered. —_— Births Reported.

LONDON (#).—Automobile bodies made from cotton are visioned here with the development of a new plastic material. Sheets of cotton cloth or canvas are impregnated with resin and pressed together with great force. Developers of the material claim that bodies made from it will be stronger than metal bodies, that it is almost as light as aluminum, that it can be kept in its original condition solely with water and occasionally soap, and that it is free from squeaks. The possibility of using that ma- terial in a “water white” form for windshields and windows also is being investigated.
