Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. July 29.-Here and
there in the last three years there have
been spasmodic attempts by the French
dressmakers to bring in the velvet
bodice with the filmy skirt.
Cheruit and Poiret both launched
this fashion, but the American buyers
shook their heads and insisted that the
American women would not care for
the fashion. There are a great num-
Der of things that the American wom-
en- might care for or might come to
care for. but they are not offered to
them. and, on the other hand, the
things that are brought for their in
spection are not always acceptable.
This is the evil of the system of
buying through Intermediates. but
what other way is there to buy?
The French designers can easily be
reused to hectic argument whenever
the subject of this method of buying
Is brought up; but when they are told
that it can be remedied by each house
sending over to America. twice a year.

they throw up their hands in despair
and say that it is not possible. that
Ii is too expensive. that the French
would not know how to handle so stu
pendous a business in a foreign coun-
try. They make this argument even
when the foreign country is England.
The result of this is that il the noun
tain will not come to Mahomet, Ma
homet must go to the mountain.

women to buy their clothes by mail or
cable from Paris, and ii this process
Of buying were adopted the French

trade that il would not be worth while

long haired fur, whereas the fitted
models are more frequently trimmed
only at neck and sleeves.
Not only are the long haired furs
used as trimming, but short, sleek furs

fact that there will be an early sea

of furs used on coats and suit

Next autumn is doubtless to be, to a

there will be some novelties. but there

look forward to seeing them in new

DANFORTH ACTION JUST
DEMAND FOR ExONERA7lOk

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 2s.-It is
seldom that an attorney demands an
investigation of his professional acts,
but such Is the case with reference to
George j. Danforth, an attorney of
Sioux Falls. Last winter the son OF q
former client of Mr.. Danforth, laboring
under a Misrepresentation Of the facts,
filed a complaint with the state SUI
preme court against Mr.. Danforth. Sub
sequently the man who filed the com
plant filed an affidavit Withdrawing
the charges and completely generating
Mr.. Danforth. However, not satisfied
with this, Mr.. Danforth recently de-
manded that the matter be fully inves-
tigated so he could be legally cleared
from all reflections on him as an at
torney, n the supreme court now has
appointed Philo Hall, OF Brookings. for
mer congressman from South Dakota,
to act as referee In the investigation
demanded by Attorney Danforth.

Pierre. s. d.. April 29.-The referees
in the disbarment case against Justice

night and promptly decided that no
cause of action had been presented.
This report will be made to the SUI
preme court, Mr.. Policy not sitting. and
undoubtedly will be promptly affirmed
by that body.
The charges had been that Mr.. Policy,
when secretary of state. had received
a gratuity of 500 from Will Bailey. of
Pierre. for an appointment given to
the latter. When the case was heard
yesterday, the prosecution tried to add
three new charges, only one of which
the referees considered had any eie-

ceeding. II also was refused conSidera-
