Very beautiful in effect and without
pretense to practicability, this costume
of white taffeta silk is for those who
may indulge whims of fancy for the
unusual and short-lived in summer
frocks. A replica OF 1t, in some beau
tiful wash fabric, might embody its
distinctive features in material more
easily kept immaculate. For there is
no charm in a soiled white dress, no
mating the design.
Now that the weaves of cotton are
showing that almost any surface and
texture may be wrought in it, and these
fabrics stand any amount of Tubing,
the loveliest of gowns are designed of
white cotton materials. The strong,
firmly woven voiles, organdies incred-
ibly sheer and fine, and many laces,
unlike any that have gone before,
prove an inspiration to those who
dream out the daintiest of apparel for
midsummer and for evening wear Or
candle or high grade voile might be
used to copy the costume of taffeta
shown here.
The model is made with a drop
skirt and tunic, trimmed with many
.rows of fine tucking. Below the tuck
ing the edge Is finished with fine ac.
Gordon plating. This plating re-
appears at the lower edge of the long
sleeves extending over the hand, and
a plated run forms a high standing
collar.
The tunic is laid In plaits at the
waist line. and the bodice is draped
10 fitted foundation which extends a
little below the waist line, where the
material is allowed to wrinkle over the
lining. 1t fastens up the back with
lacing of white ribbon through but
tonhole-stitched eyelets.

With skirts of organdie and other

feta in brilliant colors are worn. Some
OF them are made without sleeves,

neck is again brought to the front. II

DRANK, PLAYED POKER,
HAD GIRL; WAS WOMAN
Autopsy Reveals Sex of Negro
Waiter with German Name.

An autopsy performed yesterday by
Coroner's Physician George w. Tong,
Of Brooklyn, revealed the amazing fact
that Rudolph Weinkopf," negro. who
worked as waiter at the boarding
house at South Portland Avenue for
more than four years, and whom every
body believed to be a man, was really
a woman.
Mrs. A. +. Markell, who conducts the
boarding house, says that she hired
Rudolph on the recommendation of an
employment agency in Kingston. y.
Y. He was always willing, and did the
general work about the house. She
said the only trouble she had with him
was that he would stay out little
late with the other negro boys, and
sometimes drink a little too much.
Rudolph was well known in the Hud-
son Avenue negro district. and the
men there thought a great deal of him.
He mixed with them freely. smoked.
drank and played cards as well as any.
One Of his friends declared Yesterday
that he kept company with a colored
girl whom he used to take TO theatres
and moving picture shows.
Mrs. Markell found the waiter living
on the kitchen floor on Christmas
night. He was sick anG she called an
ambulance. He was removed TO Brook
lyn Hospital and died there an hour
later The autopsy was necessary on
account Of the sudden death, and Ru-
dolph's secret became known

MISS WILSON'S TRIP
HERE TO BE BRIEF
Will Not Remain in New York
for Rest of Winter.

Washington, Dec. PA story that
Miss Margaret Wilson and her cousin,
Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, would go
to New York this winter TO devote
their time to social settlement work,
was contradlcted TO a certain extent at
the White House to-day. Miss Wilson
has devoted the greater part Of her
time to school settlement work for
some years, and she probably will con-
tinue to work along that line. This
will cause her absence from the White
House from time to time this winter,
Just as it has in the last two years.
She and Miss Bones have Joined the
Tuesday evening dancing class at the
New Willard, Of which Mrs. Charles
McChord is chairman, and have ac-
cepted several dinner invitations.
Miss Wilson will be in the Blue Room
at the first White House reception, on
January 7, and Mrs. McAdoo will stand
in the receiving line. third from the
new mistress Of the White House. Mr..
and Mrs. Sayre will remain here until
New Years Day, but it is not likely
they will stay much longer, as they
left their infant son, Francis Wood
row Sayre, with his nurse in Williams
town, Mass.

MRS. BELMONT WRITES
A SUFFRAGE OPERETTA
It's Heroless, and Marie DreSsler
Will Play Principal Role.

Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont has written
an operetta. 1t is for suffrage and 1t
has no hero, though various men
marchers In a suffrage parade fill minor
parts.
The plot deals with the eight daugh-
ters of one Mrs. Pepper, of Oshkosh.
They are all talented except one, who
is sufragist. She is the family black
sheep, so when mother has hundredth
birthday or something she neglects to
invite Melinda. The seven wicked sis
ters dance in with their friends-ar-
fists, musicians, dancing men and four
other varieties Of geniuses. But Me-
linda comes any way, without an invi-
tatiOn, and brings with her q whole
suffrage parade. Then, and then only,
does Ma Pepper see her mistake. She
takes Melinda and the parade 10 her
bosom.
Mrs. Belmont said yesterday that
she expected Melinda and Her Sis
ters" would be produced all over the
country and would make $1,000 900 for
the cause. Its premiere will be at the
Waldorf-Astoria on February Is. Il is
understood Mrs. Belmont herself has
written all the lyrics. while the music
has been the contribution of Miss Elsie
Maxwell, author of the marching song
which is known at every recruiting
stand in London.
Miss Marie Dressler will play the
part of Mrs Pepper.

Yasaka Was Not Warned,
Reports to Toxic State

Toxic, Dec. 27.-Detailed advices re-
ceived here to-day from Port Said con-
eerning the sinking Of the Yasaka Maru
corroborate previous statements that the
steamship was torpedoed without warn
ing. II is said she was attacked at
2:85 p. m. by q submarine whose pres
ence had not been observed. No flag
was visible.
Shortly after the torpedo was dis
charged two periscopes, one long and
one short, appeared above the water
within 400 feet of the steamship. They
moved 10 q position off the stern. on
the starboard side. the Port Said ad-
vices relate, rs though ready to dis
charge a second torpedo if necessary.
After the Yasaka Maru sank con-
ming tower was visible for a brief time
at q point about a mile away.
The report describes the manner in
which all on board the steamship en-
tered the boats safely, this having been
accomplished within ten minutes OF the
time tho torpedo was discharged. The
captain caused the boats TO be tied to-
gether. Sails were hoisted and, in ac-
cordance with a plan arranged preyi-
ously by wireless, southeasterly
course was taken. This was held until
midnight, when the French gunboat
which rescued the passengers and crew
Was met
