Gabardines. which have been ia

grain cloth is a new fabric which
looks like a fine poplin. This is
exceedingly fashionable in the new
shade Of dreadnaught gray. although
1t Is also shown in cafe au lait,
Belgian blue, and bisque, and other
pleasing colors.
The always popular serges are still
in evidence, especially the Paouin

~ HEN the first hint came that
M the styles were going to be
radically different from those
of last year the public was
dubious. 1t did not seem possible that
such drastic changes could be made
Conjecture as to whether or not Paris
would have tho usual openings was rife.
but now that it Is March, and Paris
has had openings, and models have been
brought by hook and by crook from the
war zone, the fashion world has settled
down.
At this time Of year interest naturally
settles on the suits and the afternoon
gowns, the evening frock especially
during Lent receiving a temporary
eclipse.
From the mass of information on the
styles, no course is easier than to
choose two representative models to be
seen at an exclusive II street establish
ment. one an afternoon gown from the
house of Worth. and the other a trot-
teur from Jenny.
All Skirts Are Full.
From these two one can deduct first
that ali skirts are full; second, that all
waist lines are high. and third that
coats are short. Top coats are three
quarter length. Taffeta. because of its
ability to stand OFT, Is the favorite ma
terial for the afternoon frock, while
French serge, ever faithful. in checks
trimmed with black braid Is the tailored
suit of the hour.
The story of how the two models were
brought over to this country is a ro-
nance in itself but all that one can
say here, Is that they are authentic,
sound the principles Of the fashions of
the day, and are representative of the
best that there Is in Paris.
The afternoon gown Is a perfect mid
Victorian creation. The skirt Is volum-
inous. the sleeves full and ruffied. and
the blouse tiny.
The material Is dark green French
taffeta. with wide black satin stripes.

Pleated skirts are among the recent
models brought out. Some of these
have panels front and back and
pleated sides. others have clusters
of pleats with panels between. In
fact, many ingepious methods of
pleating are being employed.
While silks are being added to the
lines, many smart cloth skirts made
OF serges. sahardines. poplins, and
other staple fabrics are included In
the showings. Black and white
checks continue to have a strong
vogue. as we'll as some novelty

Motorcycle Police
 To Get Special Caps

If you see motorcycle policeman grab his cap and throw it into a yard. beat it'' and get out of the way, for it means something doing and you'd better be out of the path of the machine.
 In request to the police commis- sioners by the combined motorcycle squad for different style of cap from that now worn it has become appar- ent that under present conditions, a motorcycle policeman must either dis card his cap when beginning a. fast ride or endanger his life. It has been the custom for men to throw their caps away and later try to re- cover them. The stiff peak of the cap now worn catches the wind and causes it to be blown from the head. A soft peak type, similar to that worn in New York city, will be author ized.

RUSSIAN ARMY BACK
 TO ITS OWN FRONTIER

London, June 24-With the excep- ton of a small front along the river Dneister, all the armies of Russia, are either within or 8p their own from tier.
 Heavy fighting was reported to the north of Lennberg even before the fall of this city so that Grand Duke Mich olas mander-in-chief of the Rus sian forces in the field, may have had some difficulty in withdrawing his men to their new lines along the river Bug.
 Military critics in London today are admitting reluctantly that the pow CT of offensive has passed for some time from the heads of the Russians while special despatches from Petro- grad declare that it may be even wears before the Austro-Gernan az gressiveness can be worn down. It is generally admitted that Russia, like England, is not suffering from lack of men but that a shortage of muni- tions has prevented the initiating o the general allied offensive expected early this summer.
 Heavy engagements marked the Op- erations along the western front yes terday. The French were the objects of vigorous counter-attacks by the Germans who are seeking to recover the positions lost by them in the month of June. Each. side reports slight advances, but the relative po- sitions have been little changed.
 The lack of naval news of the last few days has been relieved by the Admiralty announcement to the effect that the armored cruiser Roxburgh, torpedoed in the North Sea, was so little damaged that she was able to proceed under her own steam.
 Posters calling for recruits to Lloyd Georges army of rnunition workers { were issued today.

 Captured officers declare that even until very recently the fall of Lem berg had not been regarded as a re- mote possibility by the Russians The Qualifications of the city had been modernized by them in every way.
 The loss of Lemberg deprives the Russians of their last strong support ing point on Ga1ician soil The nor al effect. of the occupation, also, will be considerable. It is now being recalled in Berlin that three months ago Emperor Nicholas declared that the fall of Przemysl, in connection with the occupation of Lemberg, con stituted an overpowering victory for the SlaVs.
