From China Come Colorful Suggestionsthat Used wi

and to dinner costumes. A very beau

over callot blue silk. The skirt is
simple and full, gathered at the belt.
turned under and caught to founda-
ton. There is absolutely no trim
ming. for the designer knows we'll that
trimming would spoil the wonderful
material and color effect. The bodice
is one Of the very new ones closed at
the back. There, it forms a V and is
simply full. At the front it is laid in
tucks across the center that provide
fullness and is drapcd into short
sleeves to be most charming. A novel
feature is the collar-like band of white
satin which stands away little from
the neck at the front. There is a
straight band or belt of the gauze with
a flat bow of the pump sort, making
finish at the waist line. A dinner gown
is of the soft beautiful satin that is SO
much liked in very wonderful shade
Of red that matches the American
Beauty Rose. Again, the skirt is per-
fectly plain but very full and turned
under in Turkish style. The bodice is
of embroidered crepe in exactly match
ing color with half low, round neck
and long close fitting sleeves Of the
kimono sort. The neck and sleeve
edges are finished in the simplest
possible manner, and beneath the
bodice is to be seen a foundation Or
lining Of the satin that IS simply
straight under the arm. The girdle
in this instance is of velvet ribbon two
inches in width, passed fiat around
the waist, finished again with fiat
bow, but falling in loops over the
skirt at the left side and with one end
caught up to the shoulder. These cos
tunes do not show exaggeratedly
short length, but there is something of
a tendency to make the Turkish shirt
very short, so short in fact that it
fails to be beautiful. At a notable
dance Of the week was seen such
costume in cerise with silk stockings
and slippers to match, but the ex-
panse between the edge of the skirt
and the top of the slippers was alto
gether too exaggerated to De really
attractive or really beautiful. Frills
of lace attached under the skirts and
falling to give something of the panta-
lette suggestion are to be noted in
many OF these extremely short skirts.

goes, the best style calls for moderate

CUBAN REBEL LEADER
and BAND SURRENDER

Santiago de Cuba, April 2.-Col
Rafael Manliulay, former governor of
Orlente province, has surrendered
with 500 of his followers, to the au-
thorities at Guantanamo.
The regular forces that were in
arms against the government in the
Guantanamo district also have sur
rendered and TO-DAY additional forces
of 800 men, including several officers,
gave up their arms.
With the capture of the Congo by
government forces, and the surrender
of Col. Mandulay and his followers,
very few rebels arc left in arms in
Oriente province. The situation is
very much improved, and it is ex-
pected that within few days the dis
trict will be completely cleared of
rebels.

Scientific Discovery Of Value.

The British Medical Journal an-
nounceS that remarkable scientific
discovery is now on trial at the casual
ty clearing stations in France. The in
yentor is James Shearer, a Scotchman
twenty years old, employed as SER
geant in the medical corps. The new
discovery succeeds just where X-ray
photography fails. It produces pic
lures Of structures located far below
the surface of the outer skin just at
the point where X-ray photography
ceased to perform effectively. BY
means of it, it is possible in broad
daylight to obtain detailed pictures Of
the internal organs and to see at a
glance by what gross LESSONS they may
be affected The apparatus works as
long as the body is living, and even
until molecular death has set in. After
that it does not work.

skirts are worn by the slnartest
women and put forth by designers of
the greatest repute are not the skirts
that cause a sense of shock or suggest
criticism as to the display of hosiery.
Chinese cooring is always rich and
you can use it in bits with wonderful
success. If you have the artists eye
for color you can make combinations
that are a real delight. A costume com.
pleted this week is made of one Of
the lovely pongee-like silks in an ex-
quisite shade of lavender or wistaria
color, and accompanying it is stock
collar and four-in-land scarf of
Chinese yellow crepe. Until you have
seen that combination, you would
scarcely realize how lovely it is, but,
as a, matter of course, both colors
must be we'll chosen. The danger in
all sash fashions lies in the fact that
so many women are color blind or
approximately color blind. They do
not differentiate shades, and If they
see perfect costume of this sort they
will copy it with variations of color
that absolutely spoil the effect. 1t is
not any lavender and any yellow that
can be put together, it is only the
correct shades that will produce the
result.
