here, making the wearer look like Tana-
gra figurine vested with life. Black bro
caded silk in one of the new weaves flow
cred with large but indisfinct pattern is
apparently laid over the figure and fitted
by the few soft folds into which the ma
terial drops naturally by the contours
of the figure. A slash makes walking
possible, and the upper part falls into the
lines of the new girdle Of disproportionate
size that is appearing on many new Paris
models. A bolero of black chiffon is fitted
in deeply laid folds, with curved outline
accented by round dull black buttons,
Transparent sleeves of the chiffon draped
into bishop shaped cuff veil the arms,

tanned, as in the bordered gowns presented
here. The wide border of blue, brocaded
in relief on a white voile ground, is wound
about the figure so that the bordered ma
terial comes in the centre of the gown.
Below the lower border light blue wolfe
replaces the white, and above the upper
spiral edge filmy lace and net posed over
chiffon covers yet discloses the curve of
the shoulders and falls in long open angel
sleeves. The lower edge of the skirt is
finished by hemstitching.
A curious color spotting, met with here
and there in foreign model gowns, is
the black net tunic skirt, edged with a
black fringe and posed over a yellow
brocaded dress of soft crepe. This
curious tunjc finishes under one of the
decorative link metal belts, and the only
note of black above the waist line is the
pleated collar and cuffs of black net.

no doubt that taffeta will again be fash

NAVY AV|ATORS MAKE
TRIP TO BALTIMORE
Lieut.. Murray and Ensign ChevaIier
in Successful Flight.
WAS TEST OF NEW MACHINE.
Bird Men Attracted Much Attention in
Baltimore Harbor While Soaring
in Burgess Flying Boat.

Swoopin over Canton harbor, in
patapsco river, a hydroaerJplane
from the aviation camp here, was
seen by the crews OF scores of yes
sells lying at anchor a few minutes
before 8 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Lieut.. James Murray, acting head
of the Navy Aviation School, with
Ensi IN Godfrey Dec Che Waller as
passenger, was making an experimen-
tai flight in Burgess flying boat.
one of the latest pieces of equipment
OF the aviation camp
The visit OF the man-bird was un-
announced, but crowd collected as
if by magic along the water front.
As the air craft dipped and rose again
in wide circles the whistles of the
tugs and steamers in Canton Hollow
filled the air with a blasc of welcome.
The sky pilot manipulated his ele-
waiting planes until the machine rose
several hundred feet. IL then sl)wly
descended in a wide spiral until but
so feet above the water. For sew
eral seconds the hydroa ,roplane ap-
peafed to rest almost motionless.
Then the man-bird pushed lever and
the craft shot up until il was high
above the masts and the crowd
oheered Justify.
Waving farewell and dipping his
craft several times in acknowledge
ment Of the welcome, the airman
steered the big plane tow ard the
Lazaretto light. After circling the
light the craft settled down slowly
until it was barely 90 feet above the
water and sailed away past Forts
Carroll and Armisteao.
Residents of Sparrows Point also
saw the flight. While in recent
months several hydroaeroplanes from
the Naval Academy have PASSED up
the river, for the most part they
have been so high as to appear mere
specks, but the one yesterday was
clearly discernible. Many of the
workmen Of the steel plant saw the
ship in its flight. 1t was for a mo-
ment only, however, as il was travel
ing at high rate of speed.
The whole trip was accomplished
without mishap and without the
necessity of descending TO the water,
and the actual flying time was about
an hour and half. An average al
titude of 500 feet was maintained.

ment he was ordered to take the sum-
mer practice cruise with the under

satisfactory.

abled craft.

bruised abou the body, he escaped
serious injury. He was confined to
the Naval Hospital for sewers weeks,

TUESDAY SCONvENTION
TO Be ALIvELY ONE
Democrats VIII Precipitate Two
Fights, it is Said.
yANDIyER is BIG ISSUE.
Also Understood That Daniel ]. LOden
is Opposed for Chairmanship Of
City Committee.

Lively times are brewing for the
Democratic State Convention in Bal
timore on Tuesday ne XII.
There promise to be- fights against
the reelection of Gen. Murray Vandi-
yer as chairman Ct the State Central
Committee, and on Sc, eral planks on
woman's suffrage and the initistive
and refe rendum idea.
So stirred up are the Democrats
that they are threatening TO fight
against the reelection of Daniel Loden
as chairman of the Baltimore city
committee. There are Democrats
who declare that MIR. Loden did not
carry the whole ticket with him at
the recent primary.
w. H. Lamar, Senator Blair Lees =
political factotum, declared yester-
day that in the convention ths fight
against the reelection of Gen. Murray
Vandiver as chairman Of the State
Committee will be pushed to the
limit Mr.. Lamar further declared
that there will be sufficient votes in
the convention to turn down General
Vandiver.
I Mr.. Lamar said w. Mason Shehan,
W. Mitchell Diggs or former Con-
gressman Joshua w. Miles would be
acceptable to Senator Lee ard his
friends as chairman Of the commit
tee.
We want chairman, said Mr..
Lamar, who will not take sides in
Nominating candidates for office. We
want chairman who will devote his
energies to the electi IN OF candidates
after their nomination.
Mr.. Lamar evidently had in mind
the campaign two years ago, when
Senator Lee was defeated for nomi-
nation for governor. General Van
diver was chen accused by Mr.. Lees
friends of aiding the cause of Senator
German. who was nominated.
The Democratic organization lead
ers had suspected the design of Sem
ator Lee and his friends. They are
prepared to meet him. They declared
that he can got all the fight he
wants in the convention. They furth-
er declared that there will be no
mincing of words.
They pointed to the fact that Mr..
Lee was inviting a continuance of the
factional warfare in the party after
be had made the reelection of Cen
eral Vandiver as chairman of the
State Committee an issue at the pri-
mary and had lost by a most decisive
majority.

Wouldn't Give Name.
ARRESTED FOR DISORDER.
Had Called Officer and Then Resented
His Slow Response Friends Come
to Her Rescue.

Puzzled over the identity of a wo-
man in black who was arrested yes
terday afternoon by Patrolman Bryan
en- the charge of being disorderly in
the terminal station of the Washing
ton, Baltimore and Annapolis Rail-
road, the Central district police Of
Baltimore were compelled to release
her without learning her name. when
several of her friends came to her
re scue and put up S26. as collateral
These friends, among whom were
former State Attorney albert s. j.
Owens, left the police ia the dark re-
garding the identity of the woman.
When brought in by Patrolman
Bryan. the woman said she was the
wife Of a member of the Baltimore
Stock Exchange. She also stated
that she was a member of one of the
best of Maryland and Virginia tamil
lies.
Greatly indignant, she denounced
the policemen.
Some one will suffer for the indig-
nifty and humiliation | have under
gone as the result of my arrest, she
declared.
What is your name she was
asked by Lieut. Samuel House.
Il DO not propose to tell you,
replied the woman, who was well
dressed and had every appearance of
refinement.
Told that it would be necessary FOR
her to give a name, she said they
could put it down as Mrs Ne lie Chap
man. of Virginia. This was done and
Immediately the woman got in touch
with her friends, one Of whom sent
for Mr. Owens. With an elderly
man, he arrived soon afterward and
put up the necessary collateral.
Patrolman Bryan was at the Elec-
trio Terminal looking after Mrs.
Mary O'Neill, living in the 500
block of Madison avenue, who had be-
come i'll. He was arranging to have
her placed in the Central district
ambulance to be sent to the Union

woman in black" called him.

she told the policeman, "but you did

Bryan attempted to explain that
he could not do two things at one
time, and he declared that the woman
became so disorderly that he found
ii necessary to place her under arr
rest.
1t developed that Mrs. Chapman
was about to board the car she was
on her way to Camp Parole Station,
where she intended going to her home
which is said to be on the Severn
river. Mr. Owens told Lieutenant
