, of it is all that is usually expected
Broadcloth may go In and out of fashion
and plain satin may rise or fall in public
favor but surfaces are smooth or they
are rough and there are designs or there
are not designs.
We have had the former condition for a
long time. and when the first tentative
experiments We're made In rough surfaces
there commercial war which took
on interesting phases. The mill men and
the shops that owned quantities of smooth
cloth combated the advent of the rough
cloths with money and strength. They
argued out the question in the papers:
they Vehemently denied tho statement
made by fashion authorities that such
was 10 he the case: they felt that America
could rule its own country in the fashion
of its fahrics-but all without result.

Smooth cloths like broadcloth decreased
iisteadily in favor. while the many varie-
ties of ratine called under Il dozen differ
ent names and invented in Paris became
fixture. The so-called caprice OF Rotiier
has become the foundation stone of our
dry goods art.
TO make this an accepted condition has
involved commercial and manufacturing
interests in way that the public knows
nothing about, and it is for this reason
that we are apt to see continuance ol
rough fabrics until the middle of next
winter. unless all signs fail
If one were a philosopher instead of q
fashion writer one would be tempted to
d!sress into discussion of the startling
change in many accepted things: the
revolution in fabrics is only one of them
and it goes hand in hand with the change
i'll the way women dress and what they
consider necessary for modesty and de
cency. and the abolition of curves and
the worship of the straight line and the
elimination OF the dances that society
has had for generations and the intro
duction among all classes of civilized So
ciety of new form of dancing. These
things may be set down as social and in
significant. but they are not They In
volve much more than appears on the
surface: they indicate 4 deep-rooted
change that is sprnging from new
mental and moral attitude toward life.
And none of this includes the fact that
each one of these changes has involved
thousands of dollars.

SUICIDES BODY
LAID At REST
Funeral of Walter Robinson
Held at keyport.
psc.nI 70 Che EvENyNa VIEWS.

EpecAII 10 The EVENING VIEWS.
Keyport, Jan. 2s.-Funeral serv-
ices were conducted at the Calvary
M. K. church at l o'clock Sunday af-
ternoon for the remains of Walter
Vermilyea Robinson of New York,
who shot and killed his wife and tn
committed suicide at their home last
Thursday.
Mr.. Robinson was a former resi-
dent OF this place. His parents be-
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Matthews Robin
son, they formerly living at East
Keyport moving to New York city
when the dead man was q small
child. The deceased was the grand
child OF Mrs. /. V. Robinson, sister
of Garrett Post of Second street, and
of the late Andrew Post of East Key
port.
The services were attended by a
number of relatives from this vicin-
ity interment being made In Green
Grove cemetery; Rev. /. s. Yerks OF
Calvary M. e. church officiating. The
particulars of the awful tragedy,
of which the curtain fell upon at
this place yesterday afternoon are as
follows:
Accusing his young wife OF receiv-
ing attention from other men, Wal
ter Vermilyea Robinson, shot and
fatally wounded her in their home at
No. 4469 Park avenue, the Bronx,
Thursday afternoon and then killed
himself. His wife, Mrs. Marion Rose
Johnston Robinson who was nine
teen years old, lived an hour before
she died in Fordham hospital with
three bullets in her body.
Soon after the shooting, William
G. Hobson, mentioned in a letter left
by Robinson, was arrested in the
Robinson home and held by Coroner
Healy in $4,000 bail as a material
witness.
Robinson, who was twenty-five,
vas a graduate of a technical school
and was employed as an electrical
engineer by the Commercial Elec-
trical Company, Long Island city.
Mrs. Robinson was the daughter of
John W, Johnston, who has the con-
tract for the plumbing work in the
new Municipal building. They were
married last April and had lived
with her parents. Frequent quarrels
between the young couple had been
witnessed by the wife's family, who
believed Robinson ~insanely jealous,
particularly of Hobson, who is chauf-
feur for the building department,
and who lives at No. 4305 Park ave-
nue.. Robinson did not go to work
yesterday, and he and his wife had
several quarrels during the day; a

She found Mrs. Robinson on the

called several policemen. AS they
entered they heard three more shots
from an upstairs bedroom, where
they found Robinson dead. He had

shot himself in the right temple the
right side of his neck and then
through the heart, with a pistol
which he still held in his hands.
Near his body was a letter which
Robinson had written, apparently af-
ter he had shot his wife. In 1t he
wrote:
Il haven't committed this deed
without due consideration. My wife
has been going out with other men
right under my nose; going out au-
tomobiling with this man Hobson,
who Is a married man. She Eve told
me he was going to get a divorce so
he could marry her. Wednesday
night when / came home who was In
the dining-room but Hobson?"
Here Robinson bitterly denounced
his wife's mother, who was too i'll In
bed to be seer by the police, and con-
tinued:

In no temptation. l know l won't be
forgiven but | must do this. Ask

her. but / haven't shown 1t. Hoping

W. V. Robinson
When Coroner Healy read the
note, a young man In the room said
he would inform Mrs. Robinson's
father OF the tragedy. He was de-
tanned and proved to be Hobson. He
declared his relations with Mrs. Rob-
inson always had been proper, al
though he had taken her for numer-
Gus automobile rides. The family
said that Robinson had been unduly
Jealous of his wife since they were
