THERE are so many varieties in the
development Of the redingote dress
that the idea prevails in gowns for all
sorts Of wear. Here is a clever new
adaptation for the street that is a sort
of compromise between the one-piece
garment and a coat suit. It is an ex-
cellent design for between-seasons'
wear, without an outside coat, and, for
tilted with a heavy outer garment, is
all that is desirable for the coming
winter.
1t consists OF a semiftting basque
finished with scallops at the bottom.
The scallops are bound with braid and
the basque as long as the average coat
in coat suit A box-plaited tunic is
set into the basque, stitched by ma
chine along the line of the scaIlops.
The tunic is finished with a plain hem
less than two inches In width, and is
very long. 1t is worn over a plain,
straight-line underskirt of either the
same material as the dress OF of satin.
This underskirt, which is short, is not
much in evidence. 1t is narrow, and
when made Of the same goods as the
tunic is often slashed In three or four
places to admit Of free stride. When
slashed in this way it has the effect OF
trousers worn under long skirt, and
we must concede that it looks attrac.
tive and would seem a startling innova.
ton except that we are already accus-
toned to slashes in walking skirts.

PRESIDENT ANGRY
Mr.. Wilson Refused to Consider
lli-Tempered Protest by
Negro Delegation.
THEY WANT NO SEGREGATION
Their Leader Given a Sharp Rebuke
When He Attempted to "Sass
Back"-To Hold Big
Mass Meeting.

Washington. : President Wilson,
groes who came to the White House
to protest against segregating the
races in government departments, OBJ
jected to the tone adopted by their
spokesman, w NJ. Trotter of Boston,
and told the committee that if it
called on him again it would have to
get a new chairman. The President
added he had not been addressed in
such a manner since he entered the
White House.
The delegation charged that Secre-
tary McAdoo and Comptroller VIII
Hams in the treasury, and Postmaster
General Burleson had enforced segre-
cation rules in their offices.
President Wilson replied that ne
had investigated the question and had
been assured there had been no dis
elimination in the comforts and sur
roundings given to the negroes. He
added he had been informed by Off
Gals that the segregation had been
started to avoid friction between the
races and not with the object of in
juring the negroes.
The President said he was deeply
interested in the negro race and great
ly admired its progress. He declared
the thing to be sought by the negroes
was complete independence Of white
people, and that he felt the white race
was willing to do everything possible
to assist them.
Trotter and other members at once
| took issue with the President, declar
ing the negroes did not seek charity
or assistance, but that they took the
| position that the negroes had equal
rights with whites and that the rights
should be respected. They denied
| there had been any friction between
the two races before segregation was
| begun.
President Wilson listened to what
they had to say and then told the del
egation that Trotter was losing con
troll of his temper and that he (the
President) would not discuss the mat
ter further with him.
After leaving the Presidents pri
vate office, Trotter, Maurice V. Spen
Ger and others of the delegation de
cIared their talk had been thorough
Iy disappointing" They declared they
would hold a mass meeting in Wash
ington to discuss the question.
Mr., Wilson is understood to have
! told the committee -Ae question was
not a political one, and that he would
not take it up on political grounds.

G. ALBERT THOMPScN's
 PAINTINGS EXHIBITED Notable Showing at Mystic by Former Norwich Art School Director.

There were many visitors Tuesday to the exhibit of paintings held by c. Albert Thompson, a, former director of the Norwich Art school, In the Gil-
 bert block, Mystic. Tuesday was the
 fifth and closing day of the exhibi-
 ton.
 FoTty-seven canvases were shown, carrying in size from a thumb-box
 sketch to a 1sx20 picture. Many of them were studies for some of the
 artists larger pictures and many were
 small but completed pictures in them selves.
 While MT. Thompson's aim has evil dently been to be realistic, to stick closely to facts, he has not failed in some instances to give rein to his im- agination ahd has attempted rather
 more poetic things. as his necturnes, canrases he has essayed the broken, or decomposed color which is the foundation Of the modern Impfession- istic school although such paintings Eare not Impressionistic in the sense that the technique is SO noticeable that 1t becomes too obvious, as does /that of many of the pictures of this school It is evident that MT. Thompson is working for vigorous color effects, also for toIfai harmony. There is notice- able variety. the subjects ranging from bright, strong sunlight effects to som pI6 duQ gray HlEPt dItQ TIoOHi1&Qf scenes. There are several snow studies in which the artist has evidently been interested in color from a prisrnatic point q view and in rendering the spirit of winter. Visitors were quite as interested in the poetic quality ot the majority of the sketches as in their realism.
