Artificial Flowers for Trimming

Old-fashioned artificial flowers
copied after the early Victorian period
appear on quite a few of the gowns
The idea OF placing artificial flowers in
the center of group OF embroidered
foliage, which was used to some ex-
tent last fall. is seen again.
The artificial flowers, which are
made Of the material of the gown, are
crushed. and occasionally further
trimmed. In one instance the edges of
the petals are embroidered with small
Jet beads. In a great many instances
some of the petals are encased in gold
net. Martial ct Armand use charming
crushed flowers made of net in old
colors.
Regular artificial flowers at the
waist line or at the pannier draperies
are met with in several instances.

AFFECT SHORT Wells

The short fly-away veil is more pop
ular than ever. writes a Paris CORE

is attached to the hat brim like a gath

wells convenient. Once they are ar
ranged they need not be touched until
the hat is taken off, for they do not
get into the way of teacup or indeed
OF anything else.
The most popular veil of the present
season is made OF violet spotted net

is specially becoming to fresh complex

purple and pale gray hats.
Lewis told me the other day that
hatter's plush was going to be the
material for spring and summer hats.
You, OF course, realize that hatter's
plush is the silky material used to
cover mems tall hats.
At the immediate moment the Parish
ennes are wearing wide-brimmed hats
covered with this stiff stuff in con-
junction with the smartest walking
costumes, and it almost invariably
happens that the hat is absolutely un-
trimmed
This is a smart fashion and very
French. Good hatter's plush is an ex-
pensive material and the hats in ques-
ton, though guiltless of trimming, are
fairly costly. The well-known milliner
l have just mentioned is of opinion
that such hats-in black and ivory
white-will be largely worn in the
summer with thin muslin frocks and
bright silk sweaters. 1t will be a very
pretty style
In several of my recent articles I
have spoken of the revival OF interest
in ostrich feathers, long and short. In
deed feathers and feather trimming
may be said to be ubiquitous just now.
On many of the newest evening gowns
little clusters Of feathers take the place
OF flowers, at waist or breast, and
fringes of feathers appear on the capes
and collars of theater and restaurant
cloaks.

Pending Future Diplomatic Moves by Capitals,

RAIDERS WILL BE CHASED DOWN BY
AMERICANS If CARRANzTSTAS REFUSE

Obregon at first opposed placing
any OF his proposals in writing. but
at the second conference yesterday he
submitted certain papers and INDUCED
in certain conversational proposals.
The proposals were not acceptable to
Scott so the two agreed upon a state
ment for the press and closed their
sessions.
The public announcement that the
matter would be considered further by
the foreign office OF the two govrn-
ments merely covered the fact that
the session had no results.
While Obregon inclined To make some
concessions, he was so fearful of the ef.
feet the continued stay of the eNpedi
tion would have that the two men could
reach no common ground for negotia.

administration orders that the trooi,,
must stay in Mexico until the menac,
of border raids is removed.
Scott's only proposal in the matter ol
withdrawal was that the American,

was accomplished, and that this woul,
be the sooner if tue Mexicans shove,

The question Of use of the Mexicai

but apparently no definite conclusioir
were reached.
What the Administrations next ster

there is nothing to show that add

was that Mexicans would get the idei
that the Wilson administrator re

For this reason the situation assum

Authorities now believe that ther,
is no way in which to divert Carranzi
from his insistence upon withdrawal
though they hope hereafter he will b,
passive, instead Of active. in this Do
sition. The failure to reach a forma
agreement does not make it impossibl,
to continue the expedition and does
not actually threaten that the Ameri

this reason there was still some hop,
today that Mexico might continue Z,
