New Kind Of Tulle.

The American woman learned to talk
of these gowns in deprecating tones.
| She felt that tulle was on a par with
soap bubbles. lovely, but perishing at
upon tulle evening gowns Americans
turned a cold shoulder to them.
France told the American women
that the weavers had discovered diff
able sort that was associated in her
mind with frivolity. expense and nom
utility. And she has discovered that
France told the truth.
There Is nothing of the soap bubble
in this new weave of silk net. Even
ing gowns of it go through a season
of dancing without disintegration.
Maybe France had an immense amount
of 1t on hand. or perhaps she likes 1t
well enough to insist upon 1t for this
season; but whatever the reason we
are in for winter of colored silk net.
1t is embroidered, 1t Is spangled with
metal. 1t is weighted with splendid
Chinese dragons and circles of. silver
and gold. 1t Is fringed with crystals.
and. like some of the new crepes out
in California, 1t Is colored to match
Chinese beads and then trimmed with
them.
It Stands Embroidery.
This modern weave Of tulle Is sturdy
enough to hold up a mass OF metal
embroidery without dissolving under
L. h
cret process of the weaves. 1t has not
lost its appearance of fragility in gain
ing stability.
That is q trick that some women
of human nature. for it allures. with
stands and continues to exist under
strain.
The French gowns are not chary of
metallic embroideries this season. and
it was necessary for the new tulle to
either stand them or go out of the
fashion. So they accomplished the one
and did not have to face the other.
This one-piece which Is shown in
the sketch Is of dark blue crepe satin
with a loose, high waist line that may
give pause to many American dress
makers. It is one Of the minor evil
dences that France still considers the
directoire and the first empire worthy
of revival.
This frock has q slight drapery at
the hips, and square bodice made

DELAY EXPECTED IN THE POPES
REJOINDER TO PRESIDENT WILSON

President Wilson realizes the force of
the objection that has come from some
Quarters TO what may be regarded as
disposition On his part to impose
form of government on Germany. The
struggle for parliamentary reform is
being watched with the keenest inter-
est. and while it was said at the State
Depart ment that no official advices are
at hand regarding the developments. 1t
would not be a matter of surprise II
there were some sudden and important
manifestations Of tho popular will in
Germany. Signs of such an outcome
are found in the efforts of Premier
Michaelis to meet the demands of the
reichstag committee by his projected
cabinet representative of thes more
powerful political parties in Germany.

OF Interest TO Women
COLORED TULLE AN AUTUMN FABRIC
BY ANNE R1TTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. August 29.-The cables
from Paris insist that tulle will be
used as plentifully As It has been in
the recent past.
1t took the American people . few
years to realize that there was a vast
difference between the tulle Of 1880 and
the silk net of 1915. For two years we
have been conscious of the difference.
II any of you have old family albums
or an old trunk packed in the attic
with party gowns that were worn three
decades ago. you will know how the
young women of that generation in
sisted upon the tulle frock for their
first party.
1t was a very very English fashion.
There are pictures in existence of Eng
lish society. of hunt balls, and there are
illustrations in old and famous novels
in which the women wore the satin
bodice cut to its deep. pointed decol-
letage in the back, the tight, sleeve
less armholes and the skirt of white
tulle. There was usually a white rose
or a camellia added

Not Necessary to Defend Loyalty.

Senator Stone said that it was not
incumbent upon him to defend his 10y
atty and his Americanism.
Il am to the manner born" said SEN
ator Stone. My ancestors were fight
ing for liberty during the revolution
airy war. There was not a tory among
them. I have no drop of German blood
in my veins. The blood which flows
through my veins is more purely Eng
lish than that which flows through the
veins of King George v of England"
He said he was proud of his English
blood. since the English-speaking races
have stood for the best things in gov
eminent and for liberty.
Il am willing to go to war to pre-
serve the civilization Of the English
speaking people of the world il for
moment I believed their civilization
was imperiled," continued Senator
Stone.
II did oppose having the United
States enter the war as a belligerent
and every day live confirms me in the
wisdom of that position.

he added. he would do everything with
in his power to aid in CARRYING the
struggle to a successful termination.
He asserted that since war was declar-
ed he had supported every war meas
ure introduced in Congress, and de-
nounced editors who had called him an
|obstructionist and an ally of Germany.
While this pitiless storm of editorial
mendacity was beating upon me-" said

Senator Stone declared his belief SIS per

that any influence had been brought to

In khaki and accompanied by young
lady, approached the group. The boys
stopped their playing and, with nudges

AS the young lady and her escort
drew nearer, one youngster with an
air of superior knowledge informed
his companions: Hes United

Overhearing the remark, the young
lady questioned the small boy: "How
do you know he Is a mariner"
"Why, lady" exclaimed the young
ster, ''he wears an ornament ON his hat
showing an eagle, globe and anchor,
but doesn't wear any hat cord"
The colored hat cords, yellow, blue
and red help many civilians to recog-
nize at once cavalryman, an infan-

Is still an enigma to many persons
who lack the powers of observation
