Judge Pullman Back,
 Won't Talk on Plan to Kill New Charter

Judge John s. Pullman, chairman of the special committee which draft ed the proposed commission form of government charter has returned from a long vacation spent, with his family in Maine.
 Judge Pullman today would not comment on the evident attempt of the administration to nulify the work of the committee by setting November 25 as the date for the special election on the charter instead of allowing it to go before the voters at the regu- lar election November I. He said he had not time to give the matter much thought. The judge is sum- burned and appears to have improv- ed in health during his vacation.

NEW YORK, June 7.-Parasols
have come and gone over the horizon
of fashion. The shops usually display
a large variety of colored ones as
soon as June appears. but, as rule.
many of these are furled and put
away to be brought out next season.
One hears far more of expensive and
original parasols than one sees, for
the American woman realizes that
these accessories do not look well in
town streets, and when she is in the
country wearing sport clothes she ap-
plies the same rule.
The truth is that there are few
places where one can use a hand
painted, pink chiffon parasol, or one
made from ruff1es of white lace
caught up with silver roses or from
black chantilly lace mounted on gold
sticks and ornamented with fat pink
satin roses.
One must be appropriately gowned
