remains true to net. And why not? If
we want to wear filmy garments, surely
we have our wish gratifed in this fabric.
Jumping from blouses to gowns, as one
must do if one wants to get over ground
in a short space. notice the manner of
overskirt that is sketched. 1t is quite
new. and 1t looked very well indeed when
the wearer danced the slow, complicated
steps of the tango which calls for all
the grace there is in one.
The material is leather brown duvetyn,
so soft that it resembles velvet. The
lower skirt is opened in front and back,
at the middle. and the tunic is gathered
to the waist under band of fur. The
unevenness of this drapery Is startling
at first sight, and then one likes it.
The blouse coat is gathered to an en-
broidered band of the fabric. The sleeves
are unnecessarily long, one would say if
one did not remember that it is fashion
able to cover the hands.

plest and unassuminS pattern, the rich
ness of the material will dispel any ap-
pearance of the ordinary, and, as a mat
ter of fact, it is advisable to select a
pattern built on simple lines.
One such is here sketched. The ma
terial is a velour brocaded damask in
royal blue and silver chrysanthemums
on a ground color of silver gray Mouf-
flon in gray or black can be used for
the collar and muff. Wide sleeves are
out in one with the garment, and the
back is slightly gathered to g. rounded
shoulder yoke finished with a heavy
corded seam.
The right front overaps the left and
Grapes away toward the back from a
point just below the bust. The lower
edge of the wrap describes a downward
sIanting line to the back. where it is
rounded off at the knees.
These half-length wraps have almost
entirely taken the place of full-length
ones, and the wrap that is not fur-trim-
med is an exception.
Innings are of paramount Importance,
and show diversity of clever treatments
that are most interesting. One wrap of
purple plush. with broad collar of Alas
ka sable, seen at recent exhibition, had
lining of white charmeuse, a siX-inch
band of which was laid in flat plaits all
around the inner outline of the garment,
left with an inch heading held under a
silver cord. A small pocket and the
sleeve ends were similarly treated. and
the effect was SO attractive that one
wondered how the owner could resist
wearing it inside-out occasionally.

All neck ruffies do not flare. There is
one that is gathered to the top of the
velvet collar and then falls closely over
it. Net is used for it, and it does not
extend across the front; it lacks fully
two inches of meeting. Doucet invented
this kind of collar, and brought it out
again last autumn on the best looking
thoatcr gown of the season. 1t was of
black net and satin with "A touch of

There is a new kind of collar in linen
which has Il large following. 1t is one
of the latest offerings of the winter, and
by that token, it is probable that spring
and summer will see much of it. 1t has
a picot or hemstitched finish and by rea-
son of the starch employed, it stands
well away from the neck. Its distin-

this fashion of not meeting the high

will be invisible. There is no perceptible
finish at the top. The condition in a

tight band of velvet ribbon. At the exact
back the lace was run with. tiny silk wire

CONDITIONS IN THE
 FINANCIAL COMMUNITY
Initiative Looking to Resumption of Normal Business Must Come from Abroad,

New York, Aug. 11.-Beyond a fur ther strengthening of the lines of de- fense, conditions in the financial com munity assumed no new aspect today. There were numerous conferences re- garding general conditions. but it is becoming increasingly evident accord ing to expert observers of the finan- cial trend. that any initiative looking to the resumption of normal business must come from abroad
 Foreign advices threw no new light on this phase of the situation albeit communication with London was more frequent in the cosRe of the day whether from London, Paris or else where, offered little in the way of encourage cement
 Money continued to lend at to 8 per cent, many leans being made at the higher figure. In explanation of this it was said that out of town banks had directed their local cor respondents not to make loans under the maximum rate. because they them selves were paying approximately that figure for clearing house certificates. Maturing loans were not always re newed, some institutions showing a more decided disposition to build up reserves. Southern cotton banks were again active in the money market but further shipments of emergency cur rency to those sections and the in troduction of a cotton emergency bill in the senate today are calculated to ease the strain in that quarter.
 Of routine news the only features of interest were the June report of the Canadian Pacific railway, snow ing a net decrease for the fiscal year of s3,S00.00O, a further advance in steel produces and weather reports which reflected mixed crop reports.

AMERICAN TOURISTS ARE
 GATHERING AT SEAPORTS
Only in Italy and Sweden Are Amer
 jeans Short of Funds.

Washington. Aug. 11.-In only one or two places in Europe. notably at Genoa in Italy and in Sweden does the financial embarrassment of Americans continue, according to reports re- ceived today by Secretary Garrison. The situation has improved so much that 1t may be unnecessary to deposit any gold in Europe for the relief of Americans. Nearly all the European governments are believed to be de- sirous of establishing heavy credits with America to draw upon in pay ment for the vast quantities of food and supplies of other kinds which they must have during the continu- ance of hostilities and for a long time afterwards.
 Secretary Garrison thinks, therefore, that as soon as the first panicky feel ing is over and financial conditions have been readjusted the mere an- nouncement that the United States or an individual has deposited specie in an American bank, subject to the draft from European countries would be sufficient to establish credit for Americans in Europe.
 Everywhere on the continent the scattered American tourists and bus mess people who desire to leave are gathering at the seaports and arrang- HIS LOA U dAlS PDA No AAOAi AcAAAC" Garrison believes that owing to the facilities offered by the regular steam ship lines it will be unnecessary to send more than one or, two govern = ment vessels.
