Fascinating Lace and Peau dc Crepe 0oWns'-
The Reign of the Separate Blouse

IL inches apart, coming to decided
point in the front. The waist, with
its draped fichu effect aud wide elbow
sleeve, is a favorite style with Rue
de la Paix modists for this autumn
and winter, and one that l predict
will be extremely popular with Amer
lean women for house and theater
wear.
The smart waist on the right in my
sketch is a Forspthe model made OF
French flannel, and nattily worn
with skirt Of the new earth brown,
which was cut with short train and
deliberately stitched in self color.
The separate blouse has an office
not a whit less important than
formerly. A glance in the shops as
we'll as at the best gowned women in
Paris tells this story. Not only as a
morning outdoor garb with the rough
tweed "mannish" skirt, but with in
indoor long "swishy" skirts, it gives a
woman chance to look really smart
and yet be plainly dressed.
For wearing with the two piece
toilor mades. waists of the French
lannels, English wash flannels and
Scotch tartans are cream Peau de
Crepe, as well as heavy lace and fancy
silk ones will be in the lead with the
elaborate coat and skirt suits for

AS to hats, velvet Gainsboroughs
are having great vogue in Paris, both

culled the best and most settled fea'

carefully avoiding the over elaborate

themselves to be smart appearing

CAPTAIN HARDY LOSES.
Cannot Retire zUith Pension While
Under Charges.

In the case of Police Captain Samuel Hardy
of Brooklyn the Appellate Division Of the Su-
preme Court handed down decision yester-
day declaring that a police officer could not be
retired with a pension while he was under
charges of misconduct, in spite of the apparent
direction of the old Brooklyn charter. The de-
cison Of the higher court reverses that of JUS
tice Maddox in the suit of the captain for
writ of mandamus to compel Commissioner
Greene to accept Captain Hardy's application
for retirement. The application was sent IN
while the captain under charges OF neglect
of duty growing out of the poolroom crusade in
Brooklyn. Commissioner Greene would not
grant the application and mandamus was Is
sued to compel him to do so by Justice Maddox
The corporation counsel appealed.
