MOST any time a telegram Is apt to arrive from daughter away at school, which will perhaps read somewhat as follows: "Please send me right away, special delivery, a new party dress. This picture of a charming dance frock for a young girl Is offered as "first aid" to mother in her dilemma when she receives the above 8. O. S.

call from the coed whose slightest wish Is her command. There is nothing prettier for youth A Beautiful than crisp flowered taffeta and there nothing smarter ut the moment than Bower-printed taffeta newer than printed velvet. In fact taffeta, moire and like stiff fabrics are the last word for evening. The new rayon taffetas ire adorably deslgnful, especially those which scatter roses and daisies and other qnaint garden posies over a tinted background, as does the silk which fashions this lovely gown. One of the delights of taffeta and kindred stiff fabrics which are so -chic just now is tliut they do not require a whole lot of fussy dressmaking to show them up to advantage.

Just the opposite Is true of these now-so-fash-lonable crispy, sprightly silks. That's the beauty of the frock shown here It can, so to speak, be made In a "jiffy" and at home, too, by mother or a by-the-day seamstress. The pattern is simplicity Itself a slender bodice with a very full skirt The younger generation like this bouffant silhouette better than the formal princess lines. Scallops around the bottom of the skirt add attractiveness, while the big bow and sash streamers Bt the side impart a finishing style tonch. It would not be a bad idea to slip Into the box with the dainty frock to daughter one of the large georgette A Tuck-in dance handkerchiefs which are such a fad at present.

A lace-bordered one wonld be lovely, although printed ones are Just as modish. One corner oi these huge filmy squares Is caught In the bracelet or even under the (Ingei ring In such a way as to float out with that grace which adds to the picture Silver slippers and nude hosiery are the answer to "what's what" In proper footwear to accompany this frock. nf of 4 INDEPENDENT STORES suits announce their advance styling in that they boast the tuck-in rather than the overblouse. Good news, no doubt, to the youthfully slender, but to others not so good, that Is, If the blouse be tucked in at the normal waistline. certain clever designers are making a Party Frock.

play on the theme so as to give the Impression of a low graceful waistline. That Is, they manipulate the skirt with a loose or rather free edge at the top, fastening the blouse in with concealed clips or buttons. The belt Is worn at the hlpline, leaving a frill of the skirt above, and thus a low waistline is simulated. In other Instances the skirt Is made with a yoke which fits up snugly to the blouse adding to Its beauty and emphasizing a very definite and somewhat drawn-in waistline. Sports frocks of gay print for Southern resort wear are especially featuring the tailored washable tuck-in blouse.

The model in the picture declares quite a few outstanding style points. One is that the hemline fullness is achieved by plaits stitched flat from the waistline. Another Is the buttoning of the skirt down the front. The outlook is for a season of many uuuuijs useu uom in a practical and a trimming way. As to the short-jacket suit, It Is presented In every phase this season, especially In print cottons, linens, rayons and silks for sports and Informal wear.

Fabric plays an important part or, rather, the combination of fabrics, In the designing of the short-Jacket suits or costumes. Much Interest Is Blouse. shown In suits made of heavy linen with striking design, the blouse being the sheerest of sheer handkerchief linen. New, also, but a vogue which la destined to be widespread Is the use twin prints, the same patterning applied to a sheer and an opaque fabric, tne two used together. JULIA BOTTOMLET.

iGl. 1929. Western Newspaper Union.) to to in ior the for Hoppe, whose name Is synonymous with billiards, deserted the 18.2 ranks a year ago in quest of a championship at the angle game. His playing was the sensation of the American Three- Cushion Billiard league, but on each of two attempts to acquire a national or world title he found Johnny Lay. ton, the Missouri fisherman and car penter, barring his path.

Although he has seen his supremacy In the balk-line game pass to another, and failed in his quest of a three-cushion crown, Hoppe declares he is not through. "I am only forty-one years old and have plenty of good billards left in my system," said Hoppe after Layton crushed all hopes Hoppe had of ac quiring the only major billiard title he has never held by defeating him in the tournament at Chicago. "The game is a lot tougher than when I won my first 18.2 championship In 1910," said Hoppe. "Especial-, ly is this true in the three-cushion game, where any one of the four players competing In the world tournament is of championship caliber." Hoppe held the 1S.2 balk-line title continuously from 1910 to 1920, but the next year young Jake Schaefer broke the reign of the master of the Willie Hoppe. masse shot.

Hoppe regained his lost laurels in 1923, and this time held the title for three years before dropping it to Welker Cochran in 1925. He regained it again for a short time In 192G, but finished far down the list at the Washington (D. tournament the year following. "Three-cushion has not ruined my stroke for balk line," said Hoppe. "With a few weeks' practice I will be back again fighting as hard as ever to win in the game which I know best." Hoppe has always contended balk line is the most difficult type of billiards, and points to the fact that few younger players are taking up the game.

"It Is too difficult for most of the players," said Hoppe. "The United States will have to begin to look to its laurel in a few years when the present crop of cue artists drop out."

The record shows that 192S, when the Ramblers lost four gnmes out of nine, was the poorest during Rockne's conchship. Yet, Rockne classed the team as one of the gamest he ever coached. Of all the teams Notre Dame has met.

In the Rockne regime, Nebraska has been the hardest to defeat, the records show. Of nine games with the Cornhuskers, Notre Dame has won four, lost three and tied two; against the army the Ramblers have won eight, lost two and tied one. Despite this great record, Notre Dame has had but three seasons in that period in which It "cW throngh Its "hard campaign wltltout- being defeated or In 1010 "and" 1920, the Ramblai-9 won nine without or-tie and in they hung up ten straight victories.

Ban Johnson Is Opposed to Heydler's Ten-Man Plan Ban Johnson, retired president of the American league. Is opposed to John Heydler's plan for ten-man base ball teams. "ihe ten-man team idea does not appeal to me at all," he said. "It destroys the original thought In baseball of a team of nine men, and of each man being an athlete and a ball player who bats and runs and throws.

Johnson expressed opposition to the "chain store" or "farm" system. whereby major league clubs own and operate minor league teams, declar ing that the system "is detrimental the best Interests of the game."
