EADS AND FASHIONS

New York, Dec. 24.-There are un-
mistakabie indications of an impend-
ing change in fashion. The change
has scarcely begun as yet, but Paris
authorities vouch for its coming. The
change, 1t is promised, will not ma
terially affect the silhouette; the lat
ter will probably remain long. straight
and slender, without tell-tale curves.
But the shortness of the narrow
dresses. really a necessity with all
skirts of greater length. even IL fash
ion should not Immediately return to
trains.
The famous makers in Paris are
showing models OF both the old and
follow the lines of the Grecian style,
with short and simple skirts and tunic
effects, while others initiate the style
Of Empress Josephine's period, with
its long. sweeping lines and approach
ing train effects.
Soft brocade princess gowns, artis-
tically draped. are exploited by one
thusiastic supporter of slender lines.
These new brocades, by the way are
beautiful. combining the richness of
oid-time fabrics with the pliability Of
chiffon. Many skirts on evening
dresses are showing openings at one
side over handsome petticoat. There
can be no doubt that trains are again
coming into favor Partisan women
are too partial to grace and dignity to
overlook the possibilities of long.
sweeping train. Short dresses are
suitable enough for young girls, but
not all women are young girls.
Rateen, or hair-striped velvet, is
very much In evidence for dresses out

It Is worthy Of record that some OF
the most delightful frocks worn at the
opera and some Of the fashionable
evening functions had an air Of ex-
treme simplicity and not touch OF

simplicity Is not easily produced and
requires greater genius on the part
of the maker than the most elaborate

Made a Suggestion

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb q
When Senator Crane, of Massachuset-
is, arose in the senate and offered an
amendment to the interstate commerce
law the other day, the floor and gal
leries were agog.
Anything appertaining to that law
is of large interest at the capital be-
cause Of it's possible effect on the vast
business and transportation enter
prises of the country.
Crane is one of the republican lead
ers in the senate and it was naturally
assumed that he would not monkey
with the aWesOme statute unless he
had something imposing in mind Per-
haps he was carrying out some sug-
gestion made by President Taft. The
crowd looked at Crane, serene and in
different, seated on the senatorial ma
hogany Then they looked at the ma
gle paper that had been carried to the
front by a flying page and lay on the
clerks desk
The bill had been announced only
by title, but it was this title that jar
red the nerves and fired the magma

Toler became violently insane last
summer after controversies with fac

Scientist, in this city. For a time
he was a supporter of Mrs. Augusta
F.. Stetson, but subsequently he turn

the asylum was caused by persons
who said he had sent them threaten

that he abandoned his brokerage bust

of his money to the church and final

Then he became possessed of the

JERSEY GRAND JURY PROBE
Make an Effort To Find Why Prices

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The New

the center of activity in the attempt
to find out why food prices are high
