Tulle is being extensively used for
evening and dance frocks for the com

bow or iridescent color scheme is
brought about by layer on layer OF
tulle in different colors for the skirt,
which is really all there is to the
evening or dance frock. But black is
also very popular.
Street suits. frocks and coats are
rarely shown in black, except for
mourning wear. but IN dressy after
noon and evening gowns this somber
hue is much favored.
The question of decolletage is vari-

as by other fashions that have been
adopted to exploit it. When one is
punched at the hips and at the end of

There are some skirts. mind you. that

In q dinner gown which has Just

end of the spine and the slope of the

There is another frock Of more sober
demeanor and intended for more active

broad box. starting between the
shoulder blades and dropping forward
over the hips in a ripping drapery.
There are an extraordinary number
of new autumn gowns made In pale
pink blue, sea green and heliotrope
Some of them are of chiffon, mingled
in clever way and giving, in color
effect. an instant remembrance of a
Dresden figure.
There are blue satin coats to be worn
over pink chiffon skirts and there are
heliotrope blouses that melt into pale
blue skirts after they have passed un-

Contracting Method Attacked.

Vigorous attack was made in the
Senate yesterday afternoon on the
manner in which contracts are being
let for the government through the
operation of the advisory committees
of the council of national defense.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa criticised in
particular the contracts awarded for
shoes. pointing out that huge contracts
had been let to firms Of which the Of
ficers are members Of the shoe and
leather committee of the council.
The manner in which the contracts
have been made for the sixteen great
army cantonments now being con-
structed was the subject of criticism
by Senator Mcclellan of Tennessee,
who bitterly arraigned the War De-
partment for making these contracts
on the percentage profit basis. He said
that under the plan OF the War De-
partment. a contractor for one canton
ment could make as much as $3.50, 900,
practically merely for supervision of
the work. Tho government. he SAID
was to pay for all the labor and ma
terials at prices fixed by the contractor
and allow him profit Of per cent,
but in no case was tho per cent profit
to exceed s2j0.0OO. Originally the de-
partment had intended to allow 10 per
cent profit.
