Parasol.

frocks that the big stores are showing
us. Invariably, the skirt comes up and
finishes with heading at the girdle, or
the waist extends into a peplum and
covers the skirt. This overlapping of
waist and skirt offers a welcome relief
from more pronounced Jennings and Is
in itself trimming for the dress.
There are skirts with slightly raised
waistlines and plain inch-and-a-half
headings; others with wide girdles be-
low the heading, and, again, the skirt Is
shirred or corded, with the heading ex-
tending above. The peplums, too, are
treated In different ways. Many are
made with the new normal waistlines,
but there are still a few with the rails
ed waistlines. Usually, with the pep
lum idea, the waist has vest leaving
an open space In the peplum in front.
At the waistline, there are double lines
of stirring crushed girdle, belt Of
the material, or one Of the new fancy
belts of patent leather and white kid.
The Popularity of Wolfe.
1t has been said, and with truth, that
this is wolfe season. AS in silk, taf-
feta is the favored weave, so in wash
materials wolfe predominates. The
loose. cross mesh lends itself readily to
the quaint styles of the 1915 season.
Whole windows of the large stores ere
given up to frocks of wolfe; the avenue
throngs with people who wear it, and
the lesser stores on the side streets
contribute their share to it's popularity
in exclusive models for chosen few
Of New York's select society.
One model of unusual merit Is a
symphony in pink and white, standing
on the spacious third floor of an
avenue store. The pink is delicate

New York, July 81. Wash frocks
are not what they used to be. Indeed,
you have to rub your eyes and look
twice to believe such altogether smart
garments were ever intended to touch
the water. The nets, the voiles, the
Swisses, and even the linens, have that
mysterious something called chic in
their makeup that gives them entree

Skirts Overlap Waists and Vice Versa.

large patch pockets at the side that ex-
tend into suspenders, on the waist. The
skirt, suspenders, pockets and cuffs are
of the rose linen, while the waist is
white Swiss. The pocket is outlined
with piping of white that accentuates
it's shape and adds to the stye.
Midsummer Hats Of Satin.
Satin hats are an innovation of the
midseason. Large shapes are favored
in these, and trimmings are unique and
original. A broad brimmed white satin
has a fiat bow inserted in Sits in the
front of the crown; black satin has
white velvet birds pasted fiat on the
crown, and still another white satin
has a crown Of wool made in four sec
tions, each section embroidered in a
different color. The last suggests the

UNITED STATES WINS
NEW RIGHTS ON SEA
Germany Prohibits Destruction of
American Ships and Assures Safety
for All Passengers.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Germany's
latest note on the sinking of the Amer
lean sailing ship William P. Frye, pub
lished by the state department on
Thursday, discloses an important dip
lomatic victory for the United States.
Germany accepts the proposal to fix
damages by commission and to let
The Hague pass upon disputed treaty
rights involved. She also gives assur-
ances that no more American ships
carrying conditional contraband will
be destroyed under any circum-
stances.
One thing seemed to officials certain
German naval commanders now are
ordered to exercise the rights of visit
and search with respect to all Ameri-
can ships to determine what cargo the
vessels carry, thus making it prac-
tically sure that none will be attacked
without warning or ample time for
passengers and crew to be transferred
irrespective of the cargo.

GOTHAM SUBWAY BLAST
CAUSES EIGHT DEATHS
Surface Car PIunees Into Chasm In
New York-Fifsy Persons Are
Injured.

New York, Sept. 24.-Police are
hunting for Frank Midnight, whose
real name is Mezzanocee, on a charge
of homicide. He is the man who had
charge of blasting operations in the
new subway being constructed in Sew
enth avenue, which collapsed on
Wednesday, resulting in eight deaths
and injuring so persons, several per-
haps fatally.
The generally accepted theory of
the cause of the accident was that an
explosion of dynamite had blown
away pillars supporting the street sur
face. Coroner Feinberg said he be-
lieved faulty construction work, rather
than an explosion caused the collapse,
but fremen found several sticks of
dynamite and are keeping them as evil
dence.
Six persons were crushed to death
when a street car plunged so feet
into the chasm as block and a half
Of the street surface collapsed.
Two others died of their injuries
after being removed from the ruins of
the car, which was torn to pieces.

TWO ARE SLAIN AT LAKE
Remains of Col. and Mrs. r. w. Muei-
Ter Are Discovered In
Fire Ruins.

Marquette.-Col and Mrs. Robert w.
Mueller, Milwaukee, were brutally
murdered at the summer home on
Puckaway lake, near here.
The skulls of both had been crushed
in, oil poured over the bodies, and
then fire set to the home.
No motive for the murder of the
former banker and his wife is known,
but that it was murder is the charge
Dist. Atty. James L. Kelley, Green
Lake county, made after careful ex-
animation of the charred remains.
Col. Mueller's body was found in the
center of the room, the skull
crushed and the face and limbs
burned to a crisp. 1t was unrecog-
nizable. Lying beneath it was about
one dollar in small change and the
rim of his pocketbook.
Mrs. Mueller's body lay near the
door. The face and head were badly
mutilated. The limbs were detached
from the trunk. About the charred
body lay a few corset steels, mute
evidence that Mrs. Mueller had been
clothed when the crime was commit
ted.
The last that was seen of the MUIR
dered man and his wife was when
they went to Marquette, making the
trip from their cottage in the village
in their motor boat. They were both
well and happy at the time, and chat
ted with friends in the village.

Dubuque. Ia, Sept. 27.-With dozens
of landslides, numerous bridges dam
aged and five miles Of track washed
out between Dubuque and Farley, Ia,
the Great Western is detouring all
trains over the Illinois Central as far

inches of rain in Is hours. Thousands
of acres of corn just maturing is lying
fat on the ground and wholly de-
stroyed. Some stock was lost. The
Burlington and Milwaukee roads suf-
fered to some extent by slides, but
trains were little delayed. Many cour-
ty bridges either were washed away
or so badly damaged that traffic is i'm
possible.
