Here Is the hat with the palette
brim. 1t is built of thin black satin
and gets it's name from the curve Of
Its brim. Its only ornaments are two
large pins of white Jade.

symbolic three.
If the women Of America follow the
dignified gowns Of Lucille as they fol-
lowed her hoop skirts, glrdle bodlces,
bobbed hair and tango slippers, we
VIII see continent of women who
look as serious as the times.
The few models that have been ad-
vanced as forerunners of what Is to
come this autumn, have about them n
dignity and seriousness that the men
of the community will applaud and in
dOrse.
There Is no undue showing of the
ankles and shoulder; the bodices are
subdued In the decolletage; the long,
Wing-like, medieval draperes, cover the
arms and fall to the knees the cling
Ing skirts start at slightly high waist
line and fall against the figure and
cover the feet in the manner of the
eighteenth century.
1t Is not a gown for the type of
youth that we call flapper, or as one
of the dashlng young editors of the
day has termed 1t, poulet a In Zegfeld.
The Graceful Long Skirt.
There is nothing startlingly new in
tie gowns which will be worn during
the late summer and autumn, if the
prophecies of the experts come true
They have been shown In America
e'er since January, and in Il certain
htaze of Oriental splendor they have
been worn by smart women at cere-
uUnlal functions.
1t Is not, however, the gorgcousness
or the Byzantine era, that is to be re-
neated in the newer style of dressing
FIR the second half of the year 1917.
Soft Satins, brocades that have no

chiffon that resembles tulle, and the
trepeS of China that cling to the fig
ire, are the fabrics that will go toward
the making of the dignifed gown for
the serious epoch.
There are inky black gowns to be

There are gowns of silver gray
charmeuse that swirl and cling to the
figure from shoulder to floor. The
Colds of the skirt are softly pushed
aside by the slippered foot, as the
Ueafer moves
About all Of these gowns which are
10 come and which are beginning to
make their appearance among women
who dress well, there are no ostenta-
fious ornaments, no sensuous girdling
of the hips in the Oriental manner. no
faint reflection Of the bazaars of
Delhi.
The colors do not clash like symbols

This evening gown revives the decoI.
letage of 1870. It is Of black chiffon
printed with bouquets Of coIored roses.
The barrel skirt has a deep hem Of
rose taffeta, and the Empress Eugenle
bodice is held by band of the same
silk.
the green velvet material Is caught
with large, square, Chinese ornament
in jade. There is a necklace of jade
beads that drops down the front of the
fiesh-colored bodice and fastens to the
ornament at the waistllne.
There is another Chinese gown for
dinner or the theater, made of Chinese
yellow brocade, extraordinarily soft
and supple. 1t is lined with flesh pink
Chinese crepe. 1t hangs In loose panels
from waist to instep, showing an I'm.

The vogue of summer furs appears

ting public Is probably responsible for
1t. The whereabouts Of those who
finally make fashions appear to be de-
termined by the variations of the
thermometer and these fleet and fleet

carry their furs with them to the four
corners Of the globe. While we are
looking for reasons for wearing furs
In summer weather we are not to over
look the fact that they are amazingly
becoming.
But furriers have seen to 1t that fur
garments for summer wear look very
different from fur garments for win

merry look from crepe and silk LIBERAL

They do not take the business of pro-
viding warmth at all seriously, but are
made up usually In small, loose-hang-
Ing capes, worn as If slipping off the
shoulders. Scraps of white fox fur
nish one instance of fur piece good

scarfs in dark gray or taupe, appear
among summer furs that will be USE

Pockets and Belts.

One Of the attractive new girdles
made of silk, shows two deep pockets
hanging from the belt, one over each
hip, This girdle is wide, and the
pockets are deep, and 1t is one of those
interesting accessories that adds quite
new tone to the frock with which IL

of almost any color, to harmonize with

Mind you, they are not poverty
stricken clothes. The American PEG
pie are In arms against unnecesSGr,
saving and economy that means ruiz
to others. But they are revolt from
what we have been wearing.
Still the Chinese Touch.
Over from Paris, where those who
represent US are watching every twist
and turn in fashions comes the state
ment that the Chinese touch grows In
strength and Importance. 1t Is no
longer advocated by the few, but by
the many dressmakers.
| There Is no wholesale repetition of
Chinese costumery in these modern
French gowns. The single garment
that Is taken in its original form is the
Mandarin coat 1t Is used as an eve
ming wrap. In America there has been
superabundance of Chinese coats
worn after candlelight.
One extremely good-looking New
York woman who has been told that
she somewhat resembles the artists
drawings of Chinese faces, constantly
appears In the evening with superb
Mandarin coat worn over her frock.
Her black hair, brushed back from the
couture, completes the picture. She
also adds great fan of peacock feath-
ers set in sticks of jade. One has a
strong impulse to lift her up and set
her on tiny pedestal of teakwood.
Over in Paris the Chinese idea Is
expressed in the new gowns In lines as
well as In embroidery and colorlng
The attempt Is made t.. SWING a gown
freely away from the body In excel
lent folds, and then gather 1t in some
where near the normal waistllne by q
girdle.
There Is dominant Chinese note In
the house gowns. One Is made Of jade
green velvet, so thin that 1t looks like
satin. The lining is of Chinese blue
crepe. The Mandarin sleeves COM
pletely cover the arms, and the long,
straight widths, front and back, drop
to the ankles
There Is slip of flesh-colored chif-
fon over satin, which clings closely to

He mentioned specifically the American correspondents whom Mr. Gerard desired to take out with him and whose fate was thought to carry particular weight with Amer ican public opinion.
 This information of the possibility of detaialng Americans even under the status of diplomatic rupture, and the use of newspaper correspondents as pawns upon the diplomatic chess board, caused AIr. Gerard roundly to declare that he could not be sand bagged" by any such pressure either by consideration of personal safety or convenience.

WOULD coERcE GERARD.

Alr. Conger, the Berlin correspond : ent of the Associated Press, sends some long dispatches from Copenhag- en, where he has arrived from Berlin, the first American to leave the Ger man capital since the rupture of dip !omatic relations. He narrates the steps taken by the German govern ment with a view to securing fresh ratification of the treaty of 1799 be-
 tween Prussia and the United States regarding the mutual treatment of thelr nationals caught in a belligerent country in case of war.
 Count Moatgalas. the head of the American department at the German foreign office, submitted to MT. Ger l ard protocol proposing a number of important additions to the treaty provisions of 1799 and 1912, they were to the effect that in case of war: Merchants should be allowed to continue their business and to re- tam their residence until the end of the war unmolestedi
 No law affecting the validity of con- tracts should be applied to Germans in the United States or to the Am erieans in Germany.
 Al patents should be inyiolate; a question of high importance in view of the great value, f not indispen- slbility of certain German patents in the manufacture If munitions and ex- ploslye.
 Not only enemy property, as such, should be exempt from siezure or re- strietions beyond those applying to all property. but enemy ships in the port of the adversary should not be seized during the war, not forced to leave port unless under safe conduct. The protocol also forbade explicitly any interment or restrictions of lib- erty of enemy nations in either coun- try.

THINKS WHILE DRESSING

Man in the process of evolution has got rid of his fur or feathers. and every day he must put on something to take the place of fur. and every night he must take off the artificial clothing.
 There is apparently no greater waste of time than the time that is spent in dressing and undressing.
 Bathing, shaving for men and DOW dering your nose for women, finding what you want to wear and putting it on-it Is a thiresome part of every day.
 But
 The hours in which human being grows and deyeolps mentally are the hours of solitude.
 And q great many of us are prac- tically never alone, except when We are getting dressed or Addressed
 Sleep is time of idleness-no growth there.
 When we are with others We listen, earn, perhaps, and debate, but we don't really think with intenisty.
 The one thing that makes you moro of a man than you were last year is intense. solitary thought
 Why not say to yourself: Since 1 must spend at least S30 hours a year in dressing and undressing, in bath ing and shaving, ano looking for my collar button. I'll also spend that time m thinking.
 So you know how many men spend 300 hours year ir actual, concen- trated thought?
 Not one in a thousand.
 Suppose you see what you can make ont of the hours lost in put ting on and taking off the artificial fur and feathers and how much you can grow in the thinking
