Tan Crepe Makes Dress for Approach
ing Spring

Last year, rs "feeler," crinoline
gowns were shown at the early Spring
openings. together with the close fitting
Direetoire gowns, which really had the
greatest influence on the early Spring
and Summer styles. These fluffy gowns
showed dainty little pantalets below.
and. of course, in its adjustment these
were dropped off, and merely the full
skirts. daintilv rufiled. and bodiees some
times pointed in the front and with
round dropped shoulder effects were
taken. These are the prominent feat
ures OF the dresses which are shown for
the Spring and Summer.
This season. the decided Dutch and
peasant styles are what the dressmakers
are showing to the multitude of women,
and il still remains to be seen what will
be their decision,
The ample costumes of the Slavic
peasant women, who, in some cases,
wear twelve or fifteen stiffened petit
coats at time, are proving inspira-
tion for many of the up-to-date cos
tunes, also the coats and smocks of
the men, which are equally ample. They
are, besides being full, short. This note
is becoming more pronounced all the
time in the fashionable woman's cos
tune.
Below the PEASANTS short skirts,
which often reach only to the knees.
are worn high boots. Paul Poiret tried
verv hard to Introduce high boots, but
failed; now the. peasant styles have
launched them, and already Parisians
are wearing boots with their walking
eostumes-not as high as the knees,
but more than flalf way to the knee.
In the United States this idea will
probably be modified TO unusually high
lace or button shoes.
The full skirts are shown with the
greater fulness at the sides. which is
much more graceful than the barrel
shape, which is given by the hoop A

when added to frock with the droop-
ing shoulder effect.
There are the bell and other shapes
for cutting the sleeve and frills of vary
ing widths and. design at the waist, as
well as many edd little cuffs, round or
pointed.
The trimmings for Spring dresses are
varied. For black and white there are
jet spangles and white beads in pat
terms often heavy in appearance, but
light in weight. Military braids in
black, dreadnaught gray and in colors
matching the dress goods shades are
used. Japanese and Chinese embroid-
cries will lend their enlivening colors
to the neutral colorings which are SO
smart.

by DR.. Hazlett, from the property.
The disagreement between the two
parties to the suit was brought into

is a new action. In the former suit,
Mr.. Lane had a verbal lease for
year. Last fall DR.. Hazlett notified
Mr.. Lane to quit the place March 1.
Later, so Mr.. Lane alleged, he was
given permission by third party
acting as DR.. Hazlett's agent, to put
in crops. The jury in the justice
court case decided that Nr. Lane had
been allowed to put in the crops and
so was entitled to remain on the
land until they were harvested.

Manchester Case
Against Elevator Go.

Strong Grain & Coal Co. Of Wichita,
creditors Of the Manchester eleva-

ruptcy. AS q consequence action was
brought in the federal court to the
amount of the claims which all
three companies declared they sut-
fered at the hands OF the Manches-
ter mill.
Judge Pollock. in deciding the
case, held invalid the defense OF
the mill that dealing in futures was
a gambling transaction and declared
that the contracts made In this way
are legal.
Other firms beside the Manchester
mill were interested in the suits, az
question was raised as to con-
tracts Of this sort, many of which
were made before the war broke
out and wheat prices began to soar.
In some cases the mills sought to
evade the agreement. Hurd & Hurd
of this city represented the plain
tiffs.
It is said that the Manchester
mill manager, a Mr.. McAndrews, left
that city without leaping his ad-
dress some time after he had con-
tracted for large shipments OF
wheat.

+ That dealing In grain futures Is
legal and contract in futures Is
binding is the decision handed down
by Judge Pollock Of the federal
court, sitting at Topeka. The deci-
sion was in q case in which the
Manchester Mill and Elevator COM
pany was the defendant. Goffe Il
Carkener, q grain firm Of Kansas
City, sued the Manchester mill, al
ieging that they had contracted with
the mill for the delivery Of 10000
bushels of wheat in September, the
mill to receive price Of 70% cents.
When the time for delivery came,
wheat had scared on account OF the
war. Goffe & Carkener are export
ers, and had contracted for the
sale of the wheat which they had
expected the Manchester mill 10
ship. So, Goffe & Carkener alleged,
they were compelled to go on the
open market and buy 5000 bushels
at 9Sh cents and 5000 bushels at
80 cents, so that they suffered a
loss of $500 because the Manches-
ter mill failed to fulfill its obliga-
tion to deliver the wheat.
After the suit was filed here

company of Kansas City and b.
