T1HE influence of the East persists in the
Winters modes. 1t asserts itself in the
prevalence of rich brocades. 1t is
in the Oriental effects of evening wraps. The
headdress is especially significant Of the East.
The harem veil is something known hereto
fore only In literature or by occasional represen
tations on the stage This Winter, for the first
time, it will be part Of the adornment of women
of the West. At one of the smartest dances on
Fifth avenue this Autumn, beaux made their
obesance to partner who looked at them as
the shy violet of the harem looks at her lord
through a bandage of yelling placed across her
eyes. 1t is the same mode of face drapery shown

are among the favorite combinations of the

The sumptuousness of the East is strlkingly
apparent in the wraps worn to operas, to dinners

other in the production of rich stuffs. and no
woman seems to practise economy in the direc-
ton Of her after o'clock cloak. An example
OF this richness is long loose cloak Of gold net
worn over a velvet gown. In previous seasons
the material itself would have been regarded as
rich enough in effect. This Winter the gold and

the per capita production for the

may also be remembered that dur

duty, was sunk in the Mediterranean
yesterday by an enemy submarine. The
steamer had no troops aboard. IL
men of the crew of 3O2 are missing
Known as "Bath Ship"
The Francona, which was being
used as British transport, according
to admiralty announcement, was a
vessel of 1850 tons gross and was
built in 1910. Her maiden voyage was
between Liverpool and Boston in Feb
ruary, 1911.
The Franconia was 625 feet long,
Y feet wide and displaced $500 tons
When she was built she was consider
ed one of the most comfortable steam
ers of the Cunard line. The vessel was
iicknamed the Bath Ship" inasmuch
as she had more bathrooms and show
ers than the Mauritania, this equip
ment being stalled for the benefit of
passengers bound for long cruises to
the Mediterranean.
The steerage of the Franconia was
considered the best appointed of any
steamer carrying third-class passen-
