New York July 31.-When. the Paris
dressmakers introduced that soft and al
Turing quality of silk known as foulard,
lit was often stated in this country that
the fashion would not gain success.
The French retorted with the argu-
ment that dotted and figured foulards
were the mainstay of American costunl-
cry in other days; that it. was from
this country that one expected the most
enthusiasm for that special weave of
silk; and that, as a race, we had always
shown a strong liking for the polka
dot
Then America asserted that it was
tired of foulard. 1t argued that the silk
had taken to itself, in recent years much
of the overpopulraity Of taffeta and that
IL the buyers introduced it here this
spring it would not be eagerly received
by those who wanted to dress well. So
much for the talk Now for the facts.
NEW COLORS IN FOULARD
The first foulards were in blue and
white, the usual combination. The coin
dot was larger than we were accus-
toned to seeing and the absence of the
famous little figured design was met with
approval. A decade ago, when the man
ufacturers did not get very good dyes
in foulard and tradition still held their
looms to working out the printed flower
and vine, people wore the silk, but did
not consider it especially attractive.
Today, both manufacturers and dyers

WALTER WARREN WELL
KNOWN ATTORNEY, DEAD
End Came at Guthrie Hospital
Tuesday Afternoon, After
Illness of Five Weeks

Walter T Warren died at 4 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon at the Guthrie
hospital, after an illness of five weeks
most of which time was spent in the
hospital Drs Melvin and Houseworth
who attended him state that he was
in the third stages of tuberculosis,
but died Of heart failure He was
found dead on the floor Of his room by
a nurse, where he evidently had fall
en- after an unusually hard coughing
spell, which it is thought had direct
bearing on the weak heart. The end
was sudden and painless.
He was a past-master Of Guthrie
Lodge No 35, A r & A M and was
among the few who started the move
ment to erect the building now owned
by that lodge here. He was also a
past chancellor commander of the X.
= lodge and a member OF the Eagles
lodge Of this city of which organiza-
ton he was secretary at the time of
his death
Walter 7 Warren was born in Chi
cago 4 years ago. He came to Guth-
rie for his health fifteen years ago
aud has been identified with the city's
interests since He was considered
one of the best title lawyers in the
state and his opinion on matters per-
tanning to abstracts and legal docu-
ments was respected by all of his
fellow lawyers. He had his faults,
but his heart was gold and his friend
ship as true as steel He was always
plain spoken and never hid behind
the bush He had few close person
al friends, but his admirers were
many. He was cynical TO a marked
degree and this made him feared by
many; his tongue was sharp and his
brain keen and in debate he was u.s.
ually master of the situation, by vir-
tue Of his wonderful retentive mem
ory and knowledge Of parliamentary
law. His death will be read of with
deep regret by his many friends hero
and elsewhere. His faults are writ
ten on the sands, his virtues on the
tablets Of memory.
Funeral arrangements will be an
nounced tomorrow.

Public sentiment in regard to the
permanent location of the Oklahoma
Methodist University in Guthrie and
the gift Of convention hall has under
gone decided change since the last
election. A casual investigation of
the situation discloses that most of
those men who fought the proposition
actively are now openly for IT, This
change has been brought about by
the fact that the people now realize
that the school cannot be perman-
ortly located unless they have an un-
restricted title to their property; that
without this they cannot raise an en-
dcwment, and without the endow-
ment the school cannot exist.
