PROPOSES NEW ALPHABET.
Michigan Educators systen = Time
oavar, He Says.


Chicago, Dec. %. A brand new
alphabet to save time and afford sim
plicity is the pIan recommended by
Professor Fred Newton Scott Of the
University OF Michigan, who presented
his scheme In an address before tha
MoieEn Language association.
The alphabet, said to have the APP
proval OF type manufacturers aad
typewriter houses, Is intended to re-
duce the modern English alphabet by
nine characters and do away with
combinations which are cumbersome,
wasteful and complicated and do not
express clearly the thought of the
speaker or writer.
Simple vowels are represented In the
plan by d dash. while rounded vcwels
would be marked by a circle, with
the open vowels heavy and closed ones
light. A horizontal dash. for instance,
placed in front OF the stem would
mean a simple vowel, while the hack
position would be represented by d
vertical dash aid the intermediate po-
sition by an inclined dash.

The illustration shows a very dainty
little dress with a girlish quality
which might be made as fine or as
simple as one likes Here the frock
is of a black grained wool with dull
finish and thin enough to show a
golden brown silk lining. The band
ing is of black velvet ribbon. and the
little houncing on the bodice of the
golden brown in chiffon. This unusual
color note-that is unusual in this
country for the French are making a
feature of the combination-is repeat
ed In a dashing feather which holds
up the side of the black beaver hat
This dress, according to its mate
rails is perfectly suitable for either
house or street wear, and while it re-
spends to the touch of elegance the
model is especially adapted to simple
materials The double nounce effect
of the skirt is an old idea revived with
ardor, house gowns innumerable and
many street frocks displaying it. with
the separations outlined as here with
trimming or else with a plain tuck
and hem finish.
Returning to the color note with
black, pray let me emphasize the fact
that a reckless indulgence in the com
bination is not regarded as either
