The statue by the 57-year-old sculptor David Evans represents a young girl stretching her arms above her head, her eyes drowsy with sleep. A group of local art lovers in 1949 purchased it for 150 and presented it to the district council for public show. But so far it has never been exposed to the public's gaze. Henry Willard, deputy clerk of the council, said there was a Crinoline 'favored By MURIEL NARRAWAY Canadian Pres. Staff Writer LONDON P; For women who like the wide skirts of picture gowns and the soft swish of silken petticoats, London's "Big Ten" fashion designers include a wide selection In the fall fashion displays. Newest styles may be the fishtail look, the mermaid line or the close sheathing of an Egyptian mummy, but each designer spotlights at least one richly-decorated crinoline style that might have swished down the staircases of old London houses more than a century ago. The continued popularity of these unwleldly dresses is partly due to the queen's preference for this styla On each state occasion sine the end of Ore Second World War, she has chosen embroidered crinolines of tulle, net, lace or satin. And on such occasions her choice is generally followed by that of the two princesses. The wide-skirted gowns make a perfect setting for heavy state Jewelry and the rich background of official banquets.

Some of the smartest of thist IT HAD TO GO since 1908, Stephen Anthony Dumas passed away at 2:30 this morning in the Prince Rupert General Hospital. He was sixty-nine years of age. Befoie coming to Prince Rupert, Mr. Dumas had resided at Alice Arm and was also well known In the mining districts of Northern Manitoba. Born in New Richmond, Quebec, in 1882, Mr. Dumas started west at the age of seventeen and located first in Duluth, Minnesota. Then he proceeded to Edmonton and in 1908 came to the coast and arrived in Prince Rupert 42 jiala &au. Mr. Dumas was located in Alice Arm and Anyox at first and for some years, with J. B. Robertson, now of this city, operated the Kitsault House Hotel. Leaving Alice Arm, he was in Northern Manitoba for some "years after World War 11 and had hotels at Cranberry Portage, The Pas and Flin Flon. each of which he named "New Richmond." In 1929 he was back on the roast and had a furniture stote in Vancouver. In 1932 he returned to the north and since then had been located for a good deal of the time in Prince Rupert. A man of Urge stature and great physique, Mr. Dumas, in his younger days, displayed much prowess as a wrestler and boxer and held a number of Canadian titles in wrestling.

Meanwhile, sculptor Evans, who won the Prix de Rome in 1924, is none too pleased about the rumpus. "I wish the town had never bought the statue," he said. "Some people might call it indecent but I think it is a very beautiful thing. It was modelled from my imagination." The action of the council members made It clear they didn't like It, he said. "I can only object, however, that their shillyshally over where to put it Is bringing my work Into ridicule."

Widest skirt In his present collection is a grey and mauve tulle called Versailles. Secret of its charm lies In the delicate shading of its rain-cloud coloring. The diaphanous theme is accentuated by a skirt trimming of grey and mauve osprey plumes forming a waving cloud around the hem and decorating the single draped shoul-dvrllne and accompanying stole. USE MANY COLORS Color, used with the abandon of paint, gives a glowing appeal to two experimental dresses by Victor Sth?bel. Done In handkerchief points of paper-thin talfeta, the wide skirts are a blending of seven or eight colors combining a variety of shades. Much applause was given Stiebel's enormous evening skirts of heavy satin In dark shades of peacock blue, midnight blue and silver. These are combined with cosy cashmere sweaters In black, decorated with gold baroque embroidery. Always popular for rurh occasions, these skirt and sweater outfits are likely to be in big demand.
