INDIAN WONEN ARE SHOWING PROGRESS Fair Sex in Indin Are Making Wonderfol Strides London, Feb. 17.—(M—Women in Iudia have made marvelous strides in the last few years, 8ir Atul Chat- terjee, ‘'high commissioner for India in the United Kingdom, told an edu- cational association here. “The women of India today exer- cise a far greater influence in the home than in any country with which I am acquainted,”+ Sir Atul asserted, “and their mfluence in af- fairs outside the home, although not %0 obtrusive, is still extremely pow- erful. “A politiclan, an administrator or & professional man, \t. he neglects the influence of Indian women, can- not be but a complete failure in his profession, and it is all the more important that attention should be given to the education of women, because at this moment’ India is passing through very important and remarkable changes. “We are trying to do in a few decadds all that has been dome in ‘western Europe in two or three cen- turies. We are passing from the mediaeval state to the phase of modern civilizatigp.” A The commissloner pointed out that in the last seven years nmearly all the legislatures in Indian had de- olded that women should have the franchise for the state and central legislatures on the same terms as men and in some provinces women had been clected to the legislative council, SKIRT LENGTHS IN PARIS UNCHANGED Conventional Level Is Few Inches Below Knee proportioned.” Ourly Locks Useful womea have that their own rebellious locks make effective hat ernaments.

Others en- courage a few ringlets to cling to the upturned brims of close fitting sport hats. At least one milliner is offering cloche hats with hair ringlets sewed to them. There is a fashion among the achool girls and young women just now for pushing hats well off the forehead so that their bangs will show to advantage. .

The puff un- foMs to a tbree inch dlameter when pulled out of the stick.

Heiresses and women whose names are imprinted in the social register are under his censorship, but standing means nothing to Lewis when bathing suits fail te NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1928 Rad sults that bad They sald they wanted to get tan. ned. But that's no excuse t| son. There's a new ladies’ room for tanning.” When Ziegfeld's Follles came here last season the girls came near smashing traditions. 1t took strenuous work to oonvince them that Breakers Beach rules were meant for them. Not &0 long ago, the wife of a visiting German dra- matist appreared in a limited edi- tion of a jersey white suit. When she started into the ocean, there was a noise all over the bgach. Someone picked her “up and she was neatly dropped at the Casino entrance, Lewis, however he may deal with bascball players, is very much of a diplomst when a girl's costume is censured. ¥f & male eacort is present, he approaches quietly anl 2amigny to the escort the task of little back getting the lady out of sight until the necessary changes are made. At the Bath and Tennis' club here, bathing tog rules are left to each member, but the extreme suit seldom appears.

Twice a year they have reunions —but not to talk over the soft drink business. Memories of boyhood are precious, the seven agreed several years ago, so they decided to meet every summer and winter to talk over old times, Al Biedenharn, the youngest, who HERRUPS Congoleum is 40 years old, was host.at the latest reunjon here. The eldest brother, Joo Biedenharn of Monroe, la., is 61.

Exie Fife, who is 23 Feb, 17.—UP—| years old, has been in court aplenty becauss of husbands of her own. 8o when she was summoned to appear again in the frigid atmos- phere of a court room it was too much for the poor little rich girl, and she left Muskogee.

A few houses show slightly lengthened day skirts but most of the longer skirts are on models with uneven hemlines for hemlines are now as capricious as waistlines and are placed where they look best, everything considered. For sport clothes and informal morning cos- tumes the skirte are just long enough to cover the knees well. There are many changes in the details of the new fashions and ac- cessorics are more important than ever. The spring fashion collections fl- lustrate more forcibly than for eev- eral scasons that the days of over- night changes in the mode are gone. | Women obviously like the styles as they are. If they didn’t the designers would have to change them, an im. portant couturier said. “Only accessories and style de- tails change suddenly.” he said. “The || big changes, like general outline, shifting of mass and thickening or elenderizing of the figure are gradu- al and , evolutionary. The entire beauty ‘and balance of clothes de- pends on proportion. If skirts were to suddenly become longer—they couldn’t be much shorter— the en- tire silhouette would have to be re- always laid down astrict regulations for him to enforce, and the require= ments this season are no more rigid than in the women must wear two-plece bath- ing suits. Low cut necks are barred and the skirts must be reasonably long, which means they usually cover the suit trunks. 8tockings must be worn, and what is more they must meet the bottom of the suit, No “rolling 'em” is permit- ted, Y hing like the things you see on Kuropean bcaches goes here"” Lewis explains “Ont-plece suits are not allowed. Short skirts may get by, but positively there must be no low cut backs. Last year some girls What to Do For Oily Hair ) Shampoo it! If it is long—about!
