Although IL is perfectly true that the
Paris openings. which are even now TAX
| ing place. may modify the spring styles
to a great degree. it is also true that
the fashions which are developed now
for the South are those which will be
the rule in the North, at least in the
early spring. So the clothes news that
particularly interesting as. an indication
of what we ourselves may wear in a
couple of months.
In the sketches today some very at
tractive models that have been evolved
for Southern travellers are shown, and
they emphasize the fact that there is the
widest sort of variety in the fashions OF
the late winter and early spring. The
lowered waist line is still observed in
some OF the new models. yet the empire
waist line is very evidently the favored
waist line OF the moment. Long-sleeved
daytime frocks are worn by -eighths
of the smart women. Yet now and again
one sees a new model with short or
three-quarter length sleeves. The same
thing happens in the evening; the new,
high empire pun is featured in the new
frocks. yet the sleeveless gown that has
been the rule all winter is still in evil
dence in new models.
With hats. too. there is a decided eIe-
ment of contradiction. The small hat is
obviously the favored hat. Yet there are
many and smart models that are truly
broad.
The news that comes from Paris. and
it is coming every day now, brings out
the diversity of fashions as well as do
the models already shown for spring
here, and the clothes worn by fashion
able women both North and South.

to reach to the hips. There are other
little sweaters that are hardly more than
boleros. for they extend just to the waist
line. Some of them have short. ripping
peplums below the waist.
Black and white shoes and black and
white gloves are both distinctive. There
are many combinations in shOes-black
patent leather yamps with white kid
tops. white buckskin shoes with pipings
and buttons of black. black shoes with
pipings Of black. And there are as many
combinations in gloves. There are white
gloves with black cuffs and stitching,
black with white cuffs and stitching.
And there are some charming black
and white parasols. There is one. of
which a sketch is given. made of white
silk in an odd. irregular shape. with a
butterfly outlined in black lace. This WAS
a parasOl that was introduced at the be-
ginning of the French season last sum-
mer. Perhaps il is because that season
had hardly begun when it was stopped
by war that this paTasOl and other smart
accessories that were then introduced
are still on the carpet.
Black and white fans. too. are fea-
plumes mounted on jet sticks are par
ticularly striking.
Then there is the black lingerie.
American women do not like it very well.
The story has already been told of the
fashionable shop that set force OF
girls to work to rip off the black trim
ming from some maCpie lingerie it has
invested in. The white lingerie. remod-
eled a little to cover the traces OF the
trimming that had been.
But French women like this black lin
gerie. Ii is a fact that the amount OF
mourning worn in Europe is influencing
the trend Of French dress. America, so
far. has insisted on changes. for ready
as America is to aid tine unfortuntes OF
France and the rest Of Europe with SYM
pathy and funds. American women are
not ready to put on sympathetic mourn
ing.
Black lingerie. however. is better liked
by fashionable women here. Black bOu-
doir caps OF chantlly lace, tulle and
silk. and black and white ones of white
tulle. black lace and pearl and jet trim
ming, are considered in very good style
and they are really dainty and attrac-

One thing that does seem established
again. and that is the empire waist-une.
1t is seen In the new coats and In the
new frocks. and II Is so almost univer-
sally becoming that IL is likely to stay.
II is a waist-line about two inches above
normal. With the fuIl-skirted silk and
lace frOcks for evening and with the
fuIl-skirted muslin frocks for daytime
wear. this short empire bodice is espe-
cially attractive. A full skirt tends 20
shorten the figure. and when the skirt is
worn several inches above the floor and
is further shortened by a long WASTED
bodice the result is frequently what may
best be termed "dumpy" The simple,
short-waisted bodice in vogue gives
length that is very desirable to the
skirt.
Back and White.
Black and while. in combination and
separately. are strongly favored. White
linen skirts with lingerie. blouses and
sweaters OF black and white are worn
at the Florida resorts. White corduroy
and cotton gabardine motor coats. too,
are featured. There are alI-black even
ing frocks of tulle and lace. jet and
satin. And there are thousands. literally,
OF white lingerie frocks touched up with
colored flowers or colored ribbons.
Some of the most striking new hats for
between-season or early spring wear are
black and white. One OF white silk is
bound with black. II is a straight sailor
shape. and there is Il half-lnCh binding
around the edge and a haIf-inch band
around the lower part Of the crown.
With this hat is worn a black veil edged
with the same binding ribbon.
Another magpie hat is made OF strips
OF black and white ribbon. an inch and
a half wide. laced in and out together
to form a check. This hat has no orna-
mentation whatever. but depends for its
style on the clever checkerboard arrange
ment of the two ribbons.
There is a checkerboard sweater. too,
OF black and white silk. with strip
around the neck and down the fronts of
black and cuffs of black. with white
bone buttons. This sweater like many
OF the new ones for sports wear. is made

ant Governor, at the coming
state election. Mr.. Burke is
"home folks" to us Of New Ibe-
ria, and while we were casting
about, wondering who would be
likely Democrat for this posi-
tioD, his name was suggested 10
the metropolitan press. Well, of
course. he ia the right man.
Mr.. Burke was a member OF
the Legislature of 1900, a repre-.
sentative of this parish. he
was for many years q member Of
the law Arm of Burke & Burke,
then later Burke, Burke & Smith.
With the dawn of this year he
retired from this firm and opened
an Office under his q .me alone.
Mr.. Burke, for many years,
has been prominently identified
with the leadership OF political
thought in this section. He WAS
at the head of one of the success
ia! factions in local politics,
when there was but one party.
This particular faction by popu.
lar will was usually designated
by his name Now that the Pro-
gtessive Party has come into ex
il teLce snd with a force which
promises to considerably influence
the results of future elections in
the Third Congressional District,
it is to be hoped that Progress
sives and Democrats may be
able to bury the hatchet aud be

the "home man., that they used
to be.

SEEKING WOMAN
SUSPECTED OF
BEING FOREIGN
SPY IN AMERICA

Providence, r. l., Sept. 12.-F .eral
authorities continued today their eff
forts to find the woman alleged to
have accompanied Nicholas Card,
Newport fisherman, to the government
ammunition base on Rose Isla0d Aug
%. Card is being held in $1,000 bonds
for a hearing Friday on a charge of
trespass. Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney Peter c. Cannon denied
today that he was investigating the
movements of a foreign woman Of
high rank on suspicion that she was
the head of an elaborate system Of
espionage. He said the Government
was merely trying to satisfy itself as
to the identity of the woman who was
in the boat with Card on the day he
is said to have landed on the govern
ment reservation where ammunition
and torpedo war heads are stored
Card is said to have told the authori-
ties that she was the wife of chief
petty officer Of the navy. Mr.. Cannon
said investigation had disproved this.
The guards on the reservation, who
watched the woman through their field
glasses described her as a stranger,

and Of foreign birth In order to in

The German Plans

The Germans big effort. however.
it is expected will be made against
Wilma and Dvinsk, westward of which
town heavy engagements are being
fought Having reached the Dvina at
F'riedrichstadt and driving the Rus
SLAMS across the river. the Germans
are in a better position to advance on
Dvinsk. as there is no danger of any
outfanking movement. The slowness
of the operations is probably due
largely to the condition of the country
and the heavy roads.
Every days delay is giving the Rus
slams breathing space and enables
them to make preparations for great
er resistance on chosen lines protected
by marshes and swollen rivers.
The Russians are increasing their ac-
tivties in the Caucasus, and it is be-
lieved that the arrival of Grand Duke
Nicholas will be the signal for more
important opera tons which will lessen
the burden of the allies, who are try
ing to force the Dardanelles. No report
has been received from the latter front
for upwards of a week from the allies,
although it is apparent from the Turk
ish reports that there has been con-
siderable amount of fighting. An opti-
mistic rumor, however, is again afloat.
probably due to the statement recently
made by Lord Robert Cecil, under-scc-
rotary for foreign affairs. that the al
lies are not far from a great success.
There has been little or no cessation
Of the artillery engagements on the
western front A few isolated attacks
by German infantry have taken place,
but. according to Paris, have been re-
pulsed and there have been further
air raids and much bomb throwing.
Diplomats still keenly await the out
come of the Balkan negotiations. 1t is
said that Serbia agreed to cede
Macedonia to Bulgaria if Bulgaria joins
the allies and that the latter has
agreed in case of victory for the allies
Serbia shall have Bosnia, Dalmatia,
Croatia and Slavonia.
