All-Black Due Back.

1t was TO be expected that the all

transparent tulle affair which has been
enthusia stically adopted for evening
wear. Something which gives little
more protection from sun and dust IS
demanded for the da ytime, and so we
have new material, black satln,
which appears in the sketch today.
The shape is.a modified sailor one,
and the trimming is fashlonably
scanty. Two natural looking pink
roses are placed upon the brim on eacn
side. leaving the lines of the crown To
show. This placing of the trimming
is typical of the seasons ideas. As
we near midsummer. what little the-e
is becomes definitely floral. Flowers
have had a great revival this year in
millinery, and were extensively used
as massed crowns little earlier IN
the season.

SONS are pla aced in a circle around
the crown, fiat on the brim. sometimes
there is wreath OF several different

we were apt to place them up against

ers used in these ways are conventional
affairs made of folded silk and satin
with a center of cotton wool Great
ingenuity is expended to make them
look as stiff and unnatural a possible.

Motor Hats and Caps.

Motor hats are made in various styles
and of both silk and cotton. flaldS
and black and white check silks are
very popular. as well as bright coio'S,
such as red green and blue combined
in plaid designs. In cotton materials
rep and pique in the natural coiors
are much used. caps with deep Nlsors
are growing in favor. The vlsors are
about five inches deep and are made in
a manner that is both comfortable and
becoming.
The crown on many motor caps is
n,aated and the back is gathered on Il
rubber band so that it fits the head
comfortably. Some are made with

Secretary McAdOO and the Banks.

The Riggs National bank case. now in tho
courts at Washington, bids fair TO open up sit
uation that can hardly rebound to the credit of
the Wilson administration. Serious allegations
are made by the officers OF the bank. who assert
that the secretary has persistently annoyed and
harassed the bank. for personal reasons, and
has used his authority to work to the detriment
OF the bank.
Much grumbling has been INDUCED, es-
peciaIly since the beginning OF the war in Eu-
rope. by national bankers. because OF the policy
adopted by the secretary OF the treasury. This
policy has not increased the efficiency nor the
security OF the banks. but has entalled a great
deal Of additional work and extra expense. The
charges of espionage and threats against the
Riggs National bank, of which the secretary of
the treasury is accused may be the means Of
determining whether the extreme care and
