STIMULATES THE FR0CK
NEW STYLE OF CLOTH JUMPER
is VALUABLE.
Easily Accomplished, and Practically
Adds Another Garment to the
Wardrobe-High Choker of
Fur in Strong Demand.

If one wants to simulate frock by
adding a self-toned blouse to a skirt
when the coat is off, one might do
well to consider the claims of that
new style of cloth jumper that is
slipped over a soft silk lining with
long sleeves.
This blouse is easily accomplished
by utilizing a piece of the skirt mate
rial and binding it with braid or silk
or velvet ribbon. Its juncture with
the separate skirt is hidden under a
broad belt of braided cloth. Another
type Of blouse that deceives one into
thinking in terms of one-piece frocks
instead of coats and skirts is g wrin-
kled garment purposely wrinkled. of
soft grosgrain silk the color of the
skirt. 1t fastens down the front with
covered buttons and either turns up
at the hem in imitation of a MILDLY
blouse, or loses itself in a sash which
is finished at the back with fiat bow
to carry out the tailored idea.
We may abjure the high, boned COL
lar in our minds and protest that we

gradually we will succumb to the fash
Ion for covering the neck. It's insis-
tence wears out opposition. One sees
the smart women wearing 1t, on every
side. and one adopts it in piecemeal.
Probably it will GUST the low collar
by February.
Fashion is not opposed to the open
V-shaped wedge in the front, but 1t
exacts a covering for the back and
sides OF the neck. Therefore, the new
standing collar Of white satin that
only extends to the ears is popular
for 1t is an artistic compromise.
The high choker Of fur Is in strong
demand. It Is far more fashionable
than The loose swinging shoulder piece,
or the small scarf with head and tails. |
These chokers are merely extra high |
bands to go around the neck, reaching |
to the ears. and fastening in front
with a loop or a rose or a twist of
ribbon. Already the separate blouse
of colored chiffon to go with a skirt
OF cloth looks out of tune with the
newest fashions. II one wears a suit
Instead Of one-piece frock the blouse
chosen for it must give the superficial
appearance Of a continuation of the

five yards and bristling with a deep

So much for the Georgette gown.
From it the designers and manufac'

suit, and this was the suit:A wee coat
of velvet coming up around the neck

u. S. RELIEF IN BELGIUM
Threatens TO Terminate

Berlin. via London, Feb. 2, 1906 P.
M.-Herbert C. Hoover, chairman OF
the American Belgian relief committee,
has arrived in Berlin for an important
conference with the German govern
ment. So important are these negotia-
tions that it may be said that upon
them depend whether American relief
measures in Belgium can be continued
or not.
With Mr. Hoover are DR.. Wicklife
Rose and Ernest Bicknell, who have
been investigating conditions in Bel
gium and in Russian Poland on behalf
of the Rockefeller foundation and the
American Red Cross. These two Amer
leans are in Berlin to consider the es
tablishment of a relief organization for
Poland. A condition to the under
taking is the pledge of the German and
the Austrian governments not to requi-
sition from the inhabitants any food
stuffs whatsoever for the use of the
Austrian and German armies in Poland.
There is good reason to believe that
these pledges will be given but if they
are not the relief measures for Poland
as at present planned will have to be
abandoned.
In the event that the two govern
ments concerned assent to the propos-
al that they requisition no food -stuffs
from the people grain could be i'm
ported into Poland from Rumania and
the price would be comparatively low.
If this plan of relief for Poland sue
ceeds an executive committee will be
established.

BY Marko Fereneic, a relative, who re.
sided here for some time, but returned
to Croatia in time to take part in the
war under the. standard of the dual

According to the letter, Fereneie,
with other Croatians, was captured
early in the campaign against Warsaw,
the ancient capital of Poland. All
these prisoners were sent to prison
camps in the interior of Russia, but the
letter does not mention the location oil
the camp. Continuing Ferencie states
that he and all the other Croatian pris-

allowed many liberties. He also stated
that the Russians do not like the Ger
mans and Magyars who do not fare so
well when captured, as those of his
own nationality.

MCCORMACK IN LOVE SONGS
Irish Tenor Will Not Confine Himself to
Purely Classical Selections Here

Those who go 10 hear John Nc
Cormack sing in the Chestnut street
auditorium tomorrow evening will hear
him in many of the songs of love and
heart interest that have made him IA
nous. The great Irish tenor does not
confine himself merely TO the difficult
classical selections, although he will
render some of them. He is so gener-
Gus with his encores that it might be
said that his extra numbers are really
the principal part of his program. He
sings only once every two days i'll or
der that he may be able TO give his
audiences the full benefit of his Won
derful voice and he delights to respond
to the appreciation that is always ac-
corded him by singing such old favor
ties as 81 Hear You Calling Me, 80 Be-
ieve Ne If All Thy Endearing Young
Charms, - Trotting to the Fair" and
"Mother Machree.'
One of ms own favorites is 'ln
Fanaid g Grove a selection he never
fails TO render when the opportunity
affords. When one hears Mccormack k
singing that rare old song he feels
as though all the suffering and longing
of Ireland. her fortitude in time of
trial, her faith, her gladness and her
tears had conspired together in this
son of the Gael TO plead the cause of
install with an eloquence beyond the
power of oratory.
So great has been the demand for
popular priced seats for the McCor-
mack concert in Harrisburg that the
local management has arranged to place
on sale 200 additional 81 seats and
200 additional $3.50 seats. Already
there are indications that standing
room will be at premium on the even
ing of the concert and in order to
avoil disappointment the management
has requested that seats be purchased
at the earliest possible moment.
