A COLLAR and vestee in sheer or
"A candle, to wear with tailored suits
will be welcomed by every woman and
costs almost nothing but the time for
making. The flaring collar is finished
with hand-embroidered scallops or a
band of fine narrow swiss embroidery,
or lace, which extends down each side.
The collar and vestee must be cut
separately and joined at the neck line.
The collar is wired to make it stand
and fare correctly.
A brilliant vestee, with collar and
revers Of filmy lace, is pictured made
Of brocaded velvet and shadow lace.
The vestee is a band about the neck
gradually widening to the waist line
where it is trimmed into points. 1t
fastens Just above the points with
hooks and eyes, and here three small,
fancy buttons are set on for ornament.
A short rufle of lace forms a faring
collar which is supported with fine
wires. The revers are made Of straight
pieces Of lace draped in at each side
and at the top In the neck line. Made
of bright colored brocades this is one
Of the pre- ltiest of novelties to be worn
to embellish the blouse.

slider the situation in the South
| brought about by the European war
The resolution provided that this com
! mittee make a thorough investigation
OF the subject and report possible

crisis by December Is. Representative

to serve until after the elections.
Nearly all the members of both
houses of congress had left Washing
ton today. Some Southern senators
and representatives, however, anxious
to do what they could to expedite leg
islation to relieve the cotton states,
remained in the city.
There was considerable discussion
today regarding Representative Hen
rvs statement that an extra session
would be called in November but those
close to President Wilson are of he
opinion that he is not considering such
action. 1t is stated that while the
president approves the Lever bill pro-
viding for government licensing of cot
ton warehouses and the Glass amend
ment to the currency act permitting
banks 10 issue notes up to one nun
dred per cent of their capital and
surplus. he believes both these matters
should be held over until the Decem-
ber session Of congress.
Members of the house appointed on
the special committee to consider cot

that nothing would be done until after
the November election. Representative

that he would leave at once to investi-

make no further comment on his state
ment Saturday that there would be an
extra session OF congress called in No
vernber. There were democrats, how
ever who asserted that an extra ses-
sion might be called only IN the con-
tingency that the election should re-
suit in overturning the democratic ma
jority in either house. Should there
be such a result, it was argued. the
administration would desire to hasten

President Thinks
Cotton Situation
NowCearingU Up
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, October 26.--The cotton
situation arising from the European
war is being rapidly cleared up in
the opinion of President Wilson. lie
told callers today that the end of Ihe
war alone would restore normal cou-
ditions in the cotton industry but that
rapid progress was being made in the
efforts to assist the cotton growers Uf
the south.
The president based his optimism
concerning the cotton situation on the
plans for furnishing money to the cot
ton planters and on the opening Of
foreign markets. lie said that thsre
is every reason why all ports should
be open to cotton and predicted that
they would be.
Mr.. Wilson declared that Southern
business men with whom he had talked
had not been deeply apprehensive over
the cotton situation. He added that
he had been confident all along ChIt
the question would work itself out with
the assistance of the administrative
officers of the government.
President Wilson expects to remain
in Washington this week that he may
shape his program and keep in touch
with affairs in Europe and Mexico. lie
will go to Princeton Tuesday week 10
vote.
Many invitations TO spend a few days
at different points in the South after
election have been received, nut So
far none has been accepted by the
president.
