Tries Out The Translucent

I

By DOROTHY ROE

NEW YORK (AP) — “If you ‘can't like ’em, join ’em." ,

This bit of ‘strategy is adopted this season by Ceil Chapman, noted designer of sexy dresses. Mrs. Chapman at first sh-uddered -at the thought of a return of the shapeless bags of the 1920s but then found a way to use them_.

The inventive Ceil calls her so lution the translucent silhouette. The translucent part is a straight chemise, made of cobwebbyl-ace or transparent dhiffon, worn over a slip fitted to every curve of the female figure in the best Chap- man manner. The result is even more beguiling», than the usual frank and "unveiled figure flatt- ery of a Chapman dress. MYSTERIOUS , -

“Makes it look sort of myster- ious," remarks Ceilsmugly, “yet doesn't conceal a single curve.”

Mrs. Chapman shows her usual line-up ‘of subltly draped and shaped sli-thery black cock-tail dresses, with skin - tight skirts, boldly slraslied. ~

’1lhere are a number of short formals with carefully shaped bell skirts and.fitted tops, suitably re- vealing as tp neckline. One of the most effec-tive of these is of white ofgbnza, with bold appliqued wreaths of red poppies. ,Mrs. Chapman shows an all- over f-ringed white short sheat, reminiscent of the Charleston era but -by no means shapeless, and puts white bead embroidery in a lace pattern all over a similar blue sheath. _

For formal evening wear she

' shows a sensational group of full-

length bright red chiffon sheath dresses, knowingly draped, with floating scarfs, guaranteed to stampede the stag line at any dance.

lELLEN’S DIARY

At Alderleci,

Andtstill in these winter days of grace, robins’ nests caught fet- chingly in high branches of the old trees about are without any downy white covers. Roofs, where often sparrows align themselves in a sight remindful of classes of pupils in schools of our.-young years, and where in engaging symbols of peace for this place, pigeons stop in the sunshine to visit, are as bare'of snow as in summer.

"Is it true as you would have us believe, that a farm is a ‘last outpost’ of peace?” one queried in a nice~note' on her recent Christmas card. Born and reared and domiciled in a bustling Can- adian city, she is of course only little acquainted with the ways of our life. “I have a- friend who declares that it is" quite the oppo- site. She describes it as a breath- less and wear-isomeround. She ‘is often so tired at night she tum- bles into bed without enough strength left to, say a prayer! And then before she is well a- sleep, the alarm rings and she must turn out to face it all again”

It is nonetheless true as we" have found — and- still find it, that a farm is a peaceful place to dwell. While our days may be

be wearisome because of the it mtless duties the occupation gves, at the same time, under- neath and round about and over all, is to be found the exquisite -peace of quiet places, the restful hush of fields, the silence of op- en spaces.

“I would rather sit on a pump- kin and have it all to myself” Thoreau said “than to be crowd- ed on a velvet cushion."

So Nice A Day This Was

Our Home

Not that there is not be had a certain serenity and even peace amid"“the crowded ways of life; but it is not that which has to do with Nature and her varying moods: with winds and weathers, with day's break and twilight, and stars.»and moon 0’ month; with seedtime and harvest, with crops and flocks and herds on summer fields. ’

And is she will, one can find the very essenceiof peace ‘when snow flurries blow restlessly a- long the hillsides, and drifts are being moulded and sculptured a- long the fields and yards. Then when the end of «day gathers the household.in about a hearthfire of ' sticks from its‘ own woodlot .P'This is Peace!" are the words we, catch in the melody of con- tent it sings. _

This was an ideal day for our farmers _to deliver odd _animals sold not long ago and'due to go on just such a clean and frozen morning as was this one. It was a convenient time ‘too for a small fellow, who much enjoys outings which afford an insight into the economic workings of the farm, to include in that presented, 'a -visit to his dentist — the prospect of the one counter - balancing to ‘a bearable degree, the apprehen- sion of the other.

“Hurt?"’ he echoed our ques- tion on return. “Oh, some. . but you would be surprised ‘at how well that pair of cattle weighed! ‘One tipped the scales at. . and the other at. . . Add that in your head!” he chuckled. So nice a day this was at Alderlea with doves of peace alighted on a sun- ny winter roof.

Until tomorrow — -— Dairy —— Goodnight. . . . . ~

It was arranged to meet in

the hall the following Tuesday, to’

pack clothing for _K o r e a, and to prepare .-programs for the coming year.
