in a mysterious manner by the Miners

WILL KILL GARDNER
PROBE RESOLUTION
BUT PRESIDENT AND DEMO
CRATIC CONGRESS WILL TAKE
PROPER DEFENSE STEPS.

Washington, Dec. s. President
Wilson had two important confer
ences yesterday, at which the Admin
tration's plans for dealing with thv
istration's plans for dealing with the
war preparedness Of the United
States were developed. In the morn
ing he saw Representative Shirley,
subcommittee of the House Commit
tee on Appropriations and this at
ternoon Chairman Fitzgerald, OF the
Committee on Appropriations.
1t Is certain that as u result OF
these conferences the strength OF the
Administration in the House will oe
exerted to kill the Gardner measure
at the outset. This 10 the first au-
thoritative disclosure Of the Presi-
dents Intentions. inasmuch as NE has
steadily refused to express himself
which he has invited Representative
Gardner for next Monday.
1t is possible, however, that the
President, in recognition of the in
terest which Representative Gardner
has succeeded in arousing through
out the country on the country's de-
Tense strength. will approve pro-
posal for something more OF an in
quiry into the condition of the army
and navy that would be made in tho
routine committee hearings which
precede the formulation of appro-
priation bills,
This possibility was considered at
today's conferences, and afterward
1t was said to be uncertain whether
the information which IL to be given
the country would be sought At tho
routine hearings of the regular COM
mittees or at special meetings.
Both Representative Shirley Ind
Representative Fitzgerald are pre-
pairing speeches on the subject OF the
Gardner resolution, whlch are to be
advanced In answer to MIR. Gardeners
charges. Mr.. Shirley went over with
the President today the subject mat
ter Of an address he will deliver be-
fore the Southern Society Of New
York next Wednesday. Representa-
tive Shirley discussed the condition
of the land Notifications freely to-
day after his visit to the White
House. $@

of the smart, and worn with a. simple
afternoon everywhere. White pfuue
waiscoats with revers and points that
show below an evasive basque, is an
attractive method of replacing the
blouse.
This is worn with a simple skirt,
possibly having tunic, but always
with a very studied cut which does
not hide the silhoutte The sleeves
are long and button fairly high, while
the shoes to be worn with this type
of costume are laced or buckled with
simple silver buckles.
The handbags are small and in vel
vet, but no longer in the form of
tobacco bags. The Umbrellas and prac-
tical parasols accompany these cos
tunes; they are in silk of solid col
ors, usually a smoky gray, with a
leather handle having a monogram of
brilliants. This is typical of the ap-
proved tailor costume And no mat
ter where the woman is who wears
this dress she is among the most ele-
gantly costumed of women, even if it
is at The Dansant.
A string of enormous pearls-the
larger the pearls the more correct
is usually worn with this costume.
1t is also very smart to wear two
pearl rings on the left hand, one
black and one white-but what quail
ity of pearls while on the right
hand is worn large sapphire or emer-
aid cabocnon = likewise marvellous
gems.
The hats are small and are no lon
ger pierced by large hatpfns; instead,
two little jeweled pins, very short,
are placed at each side. This is all
that is necessary to hold the small
toques and the straight cylinder hats.
which entirely imprison the head.
The tricorne is an excellent type of
hat now in favor. 1t is very small,
and fits close to the head; placed
crosswise, it is charming with dark
skirt and cape, with the bretelles
crossing on a decollete blouse. The
gloves for this costume should be
particularly large and without buttons
and long, even if the sleeves of the
blouse are also long.
The reign of the pleated tunic has
invaded the evening. We see charm
ing dance frocks that sway and swing
with the rhythm of the dance in the
most graceful manner One such
gown had a new long, gathered
straight basque, sleeveless, low cut in
front and high at the back where it
flared with Japanese collar effect
This basque was of citron-colored
taffeta, and a sash of the same taffeta

ankle in two ends. The underskirt of
this frock was of the taffeta, and over
it hung the long-plated tunic of silk
voile--a fabric that will have a ire
mendous vogue this and the coming
season.
Most truly feminine are the charm
ing frlll dresses which are the vogue
this summer. Dainty lace-frilled ruff
f1es, and lots of them, are the only
trimming OF many summer frocks,
while lace, with a capital l., is reign
ing supreme. In fact, women is sur
rounded with all the delicate and
dainty materials which set forth her
points OF beauty to the best advant-
age. Despite the talk that suffrage
will masculine the woman, the near
er she comes to that Valhalla the
more feminine is her guise and the
more becoming her garb.
There is delightfully."- fragile lace
called Chinese lace. Quaint pagodas
and fierce dragons are worked on
cobweb net and curious lanterns are
intermingfed with convential flowers
family outlined with metal thread
Lace tiOunces of this kind are worn on
evening dresses or afternoon gowns;
they are, as rule, arranged in grad
uated widths, and some Of the designs
are as original as they are effective.
Irish lace is very little used except
for children's dresses, where it still
holds sway. The vogue is for en-
broidered net, and some exquisite
summer gowns are covered with
founces and draperies of plain creamy
net.
Black velvet belts, girdle sashes,
short tunics attached to draped bre-
telle-like waist of black velvet, are
worn with tulle and lace-draped Hber-
frOcks. In the guise of square cal
lars black velvet is invading the realm
of the tailored suits. This touch of
velvet is tending toward the velvet
note that will be struck with such
force when next winter arrives-but
from now until then, who knows!
Although pique is not being used so
much for white dresses this year, it is
user great deal as a trimming for
dresses of much sheerer quality.

The maybe colors, which are, after
all, most becoming to the majority of
people are coming again to the fore.
Black and white are colors in which
one can seldom go far wrong. Checks
are good, but it is a season of stripes
whether in two or many cOlors.
In my second illustration is a dress
made unusually striking by it's devef-
opment in black-and-white striped

with collar and revers of white hem
stitched orgady. The smartly-puffed
skirt has an added ruff1e, below the
pannier, of the striped material run
ming the lengthwise of the goods.
This mode of checking the long line
of stripes is especially adapted to the
very tall woman.

NEW YORK, June 10. -914.


IL In Paris one sees extreme things
that are really not acceptable, it is
still true that the recognized French
woman of society, whether at home or
among her friends, is always gowned
in perfect taste. Just now her taste
stops the tailored costume.
The tailored suit has been inspired
by feminine grace until it is no longer
to be recognized as the tailored suit
we used to know. 1t is the smartest
