1t is no wonder that when she does
break loose she gets gown OF
flaming red or one of brilliant green. and
takes fantastic delight in wearing it. and
rather encourages her friends to tell her
what willful extravaganza she has m
dulged in. We each have that touch OF
sayagery in us-it is actavism.
Red is possibly the only brilliant color
that is chosen for street suits. Ine
purple that is worn is too dull and smoky
to attract attention, and there Is no re-

dark fur which gives character and takes
away from what might be insipidity.

any one should want to get away from

exceedingly artistic and relieves women
from the necessity of wearing fur pieces

Every woman does not wish to d scard
these pieces, because she has been train

this is the reason that we have hereto

POLICE BATTLE RIOTERS
IN STREETS OF DUBLIN

Dublin, Sept. 2.-The fierce rioting
in connection with the tramway strike
was renewed Sunday. On Saturday.
60 or more persons were injured.
All the hospitals are SO crowded that
many serious cases had to be sent to
their homes for treatment. The strike
committee. in the interest OF peace
had rescinded early in the morning the
proposed mass meeting in OConneH
street, and had substituted instead a
parade from Beresford place to Croy-
don park, at Fairview, a suburb on
the north side of the city. The author
tiles meanwhile had prohibited the
mass meeting.
Croydon park belongs sto the Trans
port Workers union and a meeting
was held there without disorder. But
on the return march attempts Of the
police by baton charges to dispense
the constantly growing crowds led at
once to rioting. The mob was incensed
by the arrest of one of the strike
leaders, james Larkin, against whom
a warrant had been out for twenty
four hours.
The rioting became general in various
parts of the city. The police charged
repeatedly with their sticks and this
led to a pitched battle. Stones, brick
bats and bottles were hurled by the
infhriated rioters and the streets soon
were covered with PROSTATE forms
More than so arrests were made.
