Committee Investigating Re-
sorts Unable to Agree on
Means of Suppression.

Members of the city vice commits
sion are as far from arriving at a So
luton they were appointed to handle
as when they began their Investigations
two months ago. They have until De-
tober to complete their report and make
recommendations. but they feel far
from confident that they will be any
nearer the answer then than they now
are.
This was clearly shown at the meet
ing of the commission, when almost ev-
cry member in course of argument
declared himself still uncertain of a
solution Chairman Joseph A. McCord
declared that ne would never go on
record in favor of segregation, Alder
man Nutting held that the greatest
danger to society lay not In the recog
nized resorts of a segregated district
but in the clandestine places of up
town streets and the loathsome dives
of Decatur and Peters streets.

The matter was finally settled by the
secretary being directed to write such
report in the minutes, no resolution
being adopted and no member of the
commission being recorded as for or
against such a report.
The most important action of the
meeting was a resolution addressed to
the council. asking that the charter be
amended to give the city power TO
regulate hotels, rooming house and
dance halls by the issuance or refusal
of permits, just as saloons are regu-
lated. The resolution was sent to the

made of satin yelled with chiffon and.

Another empire scarf of moleskin ha 8
two-inch slashes arranged in such a way
that soft satin ribbons can slip through
and run parallel with the outer edge. This
gives a two-tone effect, the ribbon being
chosen in a much lighter shade of gray
than the fur. The muffs which accom-
pany these scarfs are also finished with
ribbon-run slashes.
Sets of hat, scarf and muff are made OF
many materials. Scraps of fur, lace.

Fashionable Coiffures.

THE very simple and natural styles
! in hair dressings Of the moment lead
to the use Of new devices and new mount
ings of false hair. The old-fashioned
transformation and pompadour having
taken its leave, we now have the center
and side part, waved and dressed nat.
the straight and curled fringe, with many
new forms Of chignons. placed medium
high or else very low. according to
whether a very youthful style OF the
more dignified headdress which ADDS
height to the figure is desired.
Many Of the new forms in hair dress
fngs are possible only with wigs. but
many women object to wearing anything
that Is SO much like wig. preferring to
dress the hair naturally about the race
and add what is needed by fashion IN
the form of a chignOn. This new waved
couture is mounted on ventilated cal
lot or skull cap, the foundation being
made of a silk net sufficiently wired to
keep 1t IN form. There are five waved
tresses attached to this callot, which
when the cal.ot is fixed on the head, COW
ering the knot of natural hair, are ar
ranged in continuous circling lines. one
placed under the other to form thee nj
gnon or knot.
The natural hair about the forehead.
ears and back of the neck, being waved,
accords with the arrangement of the CHI
gnon, the result being a very beauttfui
and artistic hair dressing, entirely new
and generally becoming. Such false
piece is susceptible Of fully as many ar
rangements as q switch and Is more prac-
teal for present styles.

ished with strass. silver cut steel but
tons. To aid the fitting, some OF them
have an elastic goring inserted between
the quarters.
The popular touch in strictly evening
shoes is the use of metal bro-ades I'm
black and gold and black and silver.
Rich. dark shades of blue. red and purple.
enlivened with gold or silver. are also
seen. These metal brocades harmonze
beautifully with the rich oriental color
ings of evening costumes.
The old-fashioncd light-colored satin
and kid slippers are no longer In use.
Evening footwear is wholly In metal eff
fects, and If not in the brocade with color
is in the changeable metal cloth. where
either the gold or silver threads are shot
with color. or in the solid metal, either
gold or silver. The dark or antique fin-
ish is usually preferred.
To harmonic with the metal footwear
for evening, sheer silk stockings I'm silver
and gold shades are worn, but with the
metal brocades in color the stocking often
matches the color tone. With black and
gold shoe a sheer lace-patterned black
stocking is very smart. There Is q fad
for champagne. fiesh-colored, and white
stockings with black patent leather colo

dressers are appearing In stockings OF

Of the color of the toilet.
