Navy Blue Georgette Makes a
Smart Afternoon Dress.
IF you are forced to spend much
of the hot Summer In a big
town you will find it practical
to include one or two dark dresses
of sheer crepe In your wardrobe.
They are cool, comfortable and al
ways appropriate.
Illustrated here is a frock of navy
blue georgette which has a definitely
high waistline and a graceful cape
collar, the tab ends of which pull
through a band which in an inter- i
esting fashion becomes a fitted hip
band. Two finely printed tiers form
the skirt and matching frills trim
the tight-fitting cuffs.

IS BEING SOUGHT
_
PHILADELPHIA, July 5.—OP)—A
world peace conference to be held
in America’s shrine of liberty—In

sentatives of the city, state and
federal governments, members of
the 55 local American Legion pests

U. S. IS LAUDED BY
BRAZILIAN PRESS
RIO JANEIRO, July 5.—UP)—In
dependence day was generally com
mented upon in the Rio Janeiro
press.
Correo De Manha, in a lengthy
front page article says: “It is in
dispensable above all that the oth
er peoples of America see what the
United States has done in the
sciences, letters and arts * * * in
the dominion of moral life and re
forms, this country is without par
allel. The homage Brazilians give
their good North American friends
of Independence day is more than
a courtesy duty between sons of
the same continent; it is also jus
tifiable admiration for the splendor
of the civilization of the greatest
democracy of the present hour.”
