Altogether Different Color in Silks

Totally unlike anything
ever seen before are the dar-
ing, soft, color combinations
of the new Cameo silks. They
are perfectly enhancing and
bid fair to be a subdued bit
of animation among the din
ner frocks this fall. There
is a certain subtle softness in
their beautifully blended
tones that is bound to be be-
coming. They can so readily
be fashioned into a demure
little gown that would be
perfectly bewitching. They
also make ideal evening
wraps, as most of them will
blend with any shade.
One resembles in color the sea.
as II has sandy back ground,
combined with the greenish shade
OF an angry mass OF water.
A thin stripe, the color Of pep.

LONDON. Dec. 2s.-A the result Of
conferences between Sir Samuel Evans.
president Of the British Prize Court. and
Robert =. Skinner. the American Consul
General, an arrangement has been con-
eluded under which American claimants
10 cargoes In the British prize court may
make their appearance before the court
without engaging local legal aid
1t will be necessary. however. for all
claimants ito enter appearance his
being the formal action to notify the
court OF their Intention TO appear in de-
fence OF their interests, which may be
done by an agent In London qualified to
DO 30 by power of attorney. This power
Of attorney may be In favor Of the Con-
sll-General. The cost Of entering ap-
pearance Is purely nominal, consisting
OF payment OF two shillings for stamps.
Mr.. Skinner said the prize laws Of
both England and the United States hold
that the claimant must exhaust his legal
rights before invoking diplomatic inter-
v%ention, M that consequently the ar
rangement will safeguard the claims Of
small owners who canno afford the
usual expenses Of litigation. American
claimants may enable the Consul-Gen-
eral to obtain the release OF the goods
before they actually reach the prize
