Ralph McCrea, who closed the doors
of the Fifth avenue Mercantile company
in Gary last Wednesday and regarding
whose indefinite whereabouts rumor has
been rife ever since. returned to Gary
this morning. His return created a
sensation and when he spread the re-
port that in his absence some one, pre-
sumably A. f. Knots, had broken into
the store and rified his desk. taking
therefrom all papers relating to his
business and depositing them within the
vault to which the combination had
been subsequently been changed, so
that he was unable to open it, the sem
sation was in no wise abated.
Subsequent developments served to
increase the interest for during the
course of the morning report became
current that McCrea was to be arrested
on a criminal charge and that q receiver
had been appointed to take charge of
the affairs of the insolvent mercantile
company.
Papers making application for re-
ceiver were filed this morning and fol-
lowing this action. Judge Reiter named
H S. Davis, secretary and treasurer OF
the Gary Construction company and OF
the Gary Supply company to act in that
capacity. These two corporations are

result is often exceedingly effective.
Apropos of soutache embroidery, certain
novel and lovely imported frocks of white
batiste embroidered deliberately in soutache,
might be mentioned, the embroidery ex-
ecuted in the most intricate band designs
and indescribably rich in effect. Our artist
has sketched one of these imported lingerie

model, though the odd embroidery must

Of yellowish or burnt straw tones combine
browns and yellow greens in their trim

throughout the new flowers, feathers,
wings, grasses, etc, which are furnished
for the trimming of the spring hats.
The linens, which are finding ready sale
even at this early date, are more varied and
beautiful in colorings than ever before
and here again we find browns from dark
tobacco brown to the light bright shades
much in evidence. The khaki and natural
tones, deep ecrus, straw color and string

creamy unbleached linen of fine quality is
exceedingly we'll liked.

Reports from Paris and the Riviera in

very short sleeve was so burlesqued and

rather fine stripes In white and color, with
a tiny rib line separating the two are be-

The idea of the white or contrasting
lining under sheer veilings has been revived
and is, at the moment, better liked than
the effect of fancy checks or stripes under
plain sheer material. Many of the new
browns are particularly soft and lovely
over white. Another transparency idea
which produces delightful effects is the use
of bordered silk under plain or striped
semi-transparent material such as chiffon

A white silk with deep floral border under
a striped marqusette in white and black
