CHIFFON LINGERIE

Net many Of us have yet fallen such
helpless victims to the charms OF the
chiffon slips that silk slips are relegated
hopelesslv 10 the background. Instead.
we are daily discovering new beauties
IN those very slips Of silk. both the plain
ones and those Of as prettilv lowered
silk as ever glazed a Pompadour.
But the craze for chiffon has had its
influence even upon them. The prettiest
slips Of all have founces Of chiffon set
over the houEce Of silk, and most of the
lowered slips are practically drOp-skirts

SMOKE BRINGS DEEP GLOOM
City OF Chicago Plunged In Darkness
of Night for Hours
Today.

CHICAGO, March For number OF
hours today Chicago was covered with
pail Of smoke, which coupled with heavy
clouds made the day as dark as night A;
1880 O'Clock in the morning all the stores
and offices in the business section were
lighted as they are at 8 o'clock on a day
in midwinter.
Street cars ran with their headlights
burning and all lights turned on. At times
it was impossible to soc a half-square
along the street and the blg down-tuw,r
buildings were discernible only because
of the lights that filled them. The dark
ness was the cause of much trouble and
delay in the streets and collisions were
numerous.
The darkness brought business in the
stock yards to a complete standstill for
time About 10 o'clock it became so dark
that cattlemen were unable 20 distinguish
their stock from that owned by others
and great confusion was created. The sit
uation finally grew so bad that buyers and
employees OF the various packing houses
who work outside were compelled to
abandon their efforts to herd the stock un-
til the unnatural night should pass away.
Prof. Cox Of the weather bureau said the
darkness was due TO haze from the lake.
clouds and smoke which the absence of
wind had allowed TO gather thckly in the
atmosphere.
Clear weather is forecasted for tomor-
row.
ST. LOUIS, March "A dense pail of
smoke began settling over St. Louis this
morning, gradually growing in density As
the day progressed until at ll:30 O'Clock
the darkness of night prevailed. Business
houses and residences were lighted, street
lights were turned on. street cars used
/ their electric lamps and day was turned
/ into night. At that hour 1t was just rs
dark as it is at 1880 o'clock at night.
The darkness continued for half an hour.
| At noon the light began slowly returning
/ as the smoke pail diminished.

NEW YORK. March The unexpected

panies. resulted today in several confer
cnccs between officials OF the New York
Life Insurance company and the company's
legal representatives relative to suits
against Hamilton. Officers of the New York
Life held special meeting today.
Criticism of the form of statement at
present required of insurance companies
by the State Insurance commission was
/ made today 10y a joint committee of
public accountants and the New York So
ciety Of Certified Public Accountants which
met in this city. The committee declared in
a statement that the forms at present
prescribed and as permitted under the
proposed legislation are defective in that
the distinction between ledger and nom
! ledger assets involve the assumption that
it is not necessary for an insurance COM
pany to record on its books any of it's
assets and liabilities except those class-
fled as ledger assets. 1t may readily be
seen that this practical authorization of the
practice of insurance companies to have
assets and liabilities which need not be
recorded on its ledger is a very dangerous
one and has virtually permitted if it has
not caused the scandals disclosed by the
/ recent investigation. The committee also
/ finds that under a proper system Of books
/ and accountings these practices would have
/ been very promptly disclosed.
