Spanish Dance Dress

almost invisible mesh, intended mere
ly to keep the hair in place. The
trick of arranging the veil over the
hair, under the hat is practical and
clever, especially with the larger hats.
The hat may be readily removed and
the veil remain, keeping tho hair
smoothly and neatly in place.
Parasols promise to play more
prominent part in this summers ward
robe than for many summer past;
they are oddly shaped and wildly
colored. One of the newest ideas is
the blue-bird parasol; these are en-
broidered, stenciled, or appliqucd, and
spread their wings all around the out
side edge Of the white or softly tint
cd parasOl, or scattered here and there
over the inside surface. 1t is an ex-
tremely Lainty notion, completing the
summer frOck in a most Fascinating
manner Ostrich feathers cdging the
parasol is another effective fancy.
Ncckwcar this season is as fnscinat-
ing and offers as many possibilities
for individuality as ever. Some smart
little novelty ruchcs from Paris, now
being shown in the shops, to COM
pletc costume effectively, are mar
row and finished with buckle. or
tic with narrow ribbons.
Popularity Of Lace and Embroidery.
The extreme favor being shown the
typical lingerie frock has brought lace
and embroidery into wide use again
this summer. Lace is being used for
trimming dresses and blOuscs, and
often forms the greater portion of the
garment. The sheer lace louncings
are particularly pretty for summer
dance and evening dresses. Metal
laccs are effective on the more for
NAL gowns for daytime and evening.
A particularly pretty use of lace
AOuncing is illustrated III the little
Spanish dance frock shown here; up
per portion of skirt and bolcro are
of taffcta, bodice and founcc of a
thrcad-lacc founcing. An effective
bit of contrast is introduced in the
dark girdle and the narrow ribbons
banding the short puff sleeves. An
other, simpler, even more youth
full dress, is illustrated Of wolfe and
embroidery flouncing; it is charmingly
suited to the young girl for summer
wear. ..... ...
The tub.frock is more popular than
for many a year; Paris herself en-
dorses the cotton dress this summer.
Many attractive novelties are being
sent US from the French looms;

Georgette, usually has an interlining
OF the palest flesh chiffon; the blue
waist is piped with pink, or another
harmonious contrast. 1t is indeed a
season of color and one may indulge
to tho hearts content
For the sports blouse, handker-
chief and butchers linen are both
popular; pongee, the rough Chinese
crepes, and the cOarser voiles are also
practical and we'll liked Costume
blouses and shirtwaists are mostly
finished with the open throat or ad-

to have been a Catholic, since he was

of electrical science, never finished
his lectures without exhorting his pu-

other accessories which go to COM

signed this season to fit in smartly
with the new silhouette and the gen.
eral lines of the costume.
Shoe manufacturers are loud in
their praise of the short-skirt vogue.
In former years skirts have varied in
width and trimming, but until this

conservative length. With the modish

Number of Wealthy
 In Japan Increases

Tokio, Nov. 29-There are 2,2O1 people in Japan who are worth more than $250,000, according to an in- formal census taken recently. As in- dicating the fact. that the number of wealthy people is. constantly increas- ing in Japan it is to be noted that those having more than $250,0OO, or half a million yen, has increased by 1,076 since the last investigation made in 1911. The ratio of increase is. 115 per cent. ...
 The aggregate wealth of the 2,2O1 rich is estimated at 3,470,0OO,OO0 yen or $1,735,0O0,OO0. Those with over ten million yen, or five million dol lars, number 43, those with over B. 000,000 yen, or s2,500,00O, 73 and those with over 1 ,000, 900 yen or $500,- 900, aggregate 451.

Murphy and Berger
 Buy Central Property

A valuable piece of property To- cated in Main street near Lumber street will be sold to Col. T. J. Mur- phy and Charles J. Berger for $51, 900, according to the terms of settlement reached in the superior court yester- day. The property has a front age of 50 feet on Main street and a depth fof 100 feet It was sold by Leopold Weiss, who has been involved in considerable litigation recently be- cause Of extensive realty dealings.
 The sale was agreed upon as the best way to settle the suit brought against Weiss, by Charles G. Schwarz. He brought action to foreclose as a result of two unpaid notes. There were numerous other creditors who had, attachments on the property. At 'torney I. J. Cohn. representing Berger, said it had been agreed to let Weiss sell the property after he promised to pay his other creditors with the pro- ceeds.
 Col. Murphy and Berger started negotiations some time ago with Weiss and claimed he promised to sell them the property for $48,000. Then he suddenly increased his, price to 65,000. They brought suit to com pei him to keep the agreement but in view of recent events this suit will be dropped.

Admit Eating Boy
 As Leprosy Cure

Seoul, Korea, Nov. 29.-Justifying his act by the Korean superstition that the eating of human flesh is a cure for leprosy, a Korean leper nam ed Sin Yungsyun has confessed to the murder of fve-year-old boy. whose mutilated body was discovered in a field in South Cholla province. Ac- cording to the police the accused also admitted that with another leper he killed a girl in the mountains on September 15, and that both had eat en of her flesh.
 Lepers in Korea hitherto led mis- erabIe life. With the exception of those cared for by missionaries in a small hospital near: Fusan, they have been left to roam at will and eke out their own living. The superstition as to cannibal cure is very general. Not infrequently cannibalism has been re- ported from the remote districts
 Count Terauchi, until recently gov ernor-general. took up the leper problem vigorously last year and as a result an island called Sorok off the southern coast of Korea has been se- lected as the seat of leper asylum. It is proposed to take in at first some hundred lepers selected from the 13 provinces in proportion to the num- Der in each. During their stay on the island, the lepers will be taught mod ern farming

Germans in Charge
 of Belgium Learning
 the Languages Used

{
 Brussels, Belgiu um, Nov. 29-The Germans have been administering things in Belgium so long now that most of them have acquired a work able knowledge of the various lan- guages that prevail there. According the chief authorities in Brussels have issued new and drastic language regulations for all their subordinates.
 In towns or districts in which the Flemish language preponderates, it is in future to be used solely both in spoken communications and in off, cial acts, letters and notifications. The only exceptions to this rule permit French to be used when a reply has been specifically requested in that language, or when the original letter of inquiry was in French
 In Greater Brussels the authorities may make use of either French or Flemish, yet from the first of Janu- ary. 1917, all communications from authorities of the various sections of Brussels to the outlying Flemish dis tricts must be in Flemish. All noti- fications and public notices are to be issued in Flemish, with French trans lations accompanying them when de- sirable.
 German is to be allowed only in sections of Belgium where it prevails as the Language of the country"
