SHORTER DRESSES
AND BRIGHTER
FOR NEXT YEAR
What will she wear in 1926? Good
ness only knows!
Buyers in Seattle department stores
shrugged their shoulders helplessly.
Whoever knew what a girl would
wear three months in advance, and
much less what a 1926 flapper will
take it into her pretty bobbed head
to wear?
But she will be a dare-devil and
a colorful one, buyers agreed. With
green as the reigning color of the
year, and bois re rose as a close
second, she really can’t help it.
Her hat will be a wicked “gigolo,”
a close-fitting hat that is caught
down in front and high in the
back; so named because the style
originated with the notorious Par-!
isiian dance hall men. And if her |
“gigolo” is a green, so much the
better.
Her dwindling hair will border a
brightly colored face. But a splash
of color won’t be enough, the 1926
girl must know the art of makeup1
for the street. Some folks promise
schools where the art of facial dec- j
oration will be taught.
Shorter Dresses in Spring
The dress will be about 12 to 14
inches from the floor, buyers re
port and hope. Small pleats and
capes on even the sheerest of sum
mer frocks are promised. Two-piece
dresses of pastel shades will be in
vogue as much then as now.
Of course the new flapper will
wear new jewelry, but if she is to
be in style she will wear pearls, a
small drape festoon, together with a
long string. Cameos will be worn
as rings, brooches, buckles—in fact,
in every place conceivable.
There will be little in stockings
for Miss 1926. They will be darker
and not have a visible means of sup
port, and oxfords will be worn more
than ever for the street.
Sport coats will be the most popu
lar. They will come in all pastel
shades, with fur collars and cuffs.
Knitted coats will be popular for
sports wear.
Sleeves will be immense and dec
orated "with new art embroidery in
many cases.
Bags will be smaller, if anything,
and gloves elaborately h^nd-painted
and appliqued.
Wihat is worn underneath is a se
cret, of course, but it is rumored
that red georgette will be quite the
thing.
This advance information may not
meet with the approval of the next
year's flapper, and if she is the dare
devil folks say she will be, she prob
ably has a headful of quite differ
ent ideas. She wouldn’t be a flap
per if she wasn’t somthing of a sur
prise anyhow.

COPY OF WEBER’S LOST GRAND
MASS FOUND IN SALZBURG
VIENNA, Dec. 19 (/P)—The volumi
nous score of a mass bearing the name
of Carlo Maria di Weber, found in
Salzburg by a young Vienna scientist,
Dr. Konstantine Schneider, has turn
ed out to be a fair copy of the
“Grand Mass”, which Weber himself
regarded as lost.
This work, as it appears from a ded
icatory letter attached to the manu
script, was written in Munich in 1799,
and was dedicated by the youthful
composer to the Prince Archbishop of
Salzburg on May 3, 1802.

The mass which is the principal
work of the composer’s youth and was
called by Weber “Missa Solemne,” is
written for four voices with great or
chestra and organ. It gives the im
pression that the youthful master de
sidered to demonstrate his talent in
every direction. Each phrase has a
special theme which was not Weber’s
custom in later years.
SEASON’S DECORATIVE IDEAS
FASHION GOES TO ZOO FOR
LONDON, Dec. 19 (/p)—Fashion
again is going to the zoo for its dec
orative ideas of the season.
Almost every known skin has been
taken up by the modern furrier and in
addition the animal motif has made
its presence evident in decorations in
unexpected directions.
Jeweled animals, fish, birds, and in
sects pins are seen a great deal on
hats. Stags, dogs, frogs and lizards
are among the favorites. A tiny squir
rel embroidered in the corner of a
pocket handkerchief is novel and
some women even have the particu
lar species of pet dog they favor used
in this way.
Another striking effect for ordinary
wear is a snake embroidered in gold
thread up the front of the stocking.
