The sport suit OF biscuit colored Jer-
sey trimmed with bands of green which
is sketched. today has more than one
point of interet. The fastening in the
back catches the eye of the observer
at once and stirs the prophet to proph-
ecy, but the folded collar of fine mus
lin is something that we have not had
with US for decades. 1t looks like the
careless handkerchief drapery which
was once exploited by women over a
quarter of a century ago. and which
went then, as now. with frocks that
fastened in the back. 1t presents a
novel idea to those who wonder what
they will do with the neck drapery. If
fashion suddenly changes its method of
fastening clothes.
This collar is OF softest white fabric.
in distinct opposition to the starched.
white organdy affairs that we have
worn for two years. 1t is much more
becoming than the severe, medieval line
which we have worn for three months.

rank and a well-known former member
Of the Duma were concerned in his
taking off
The general assumption IN the
stories is that Easputin WAS murdered.
and some of the accounts say unquali-
hedly that lie was. according to one
story. two young aristocra,s drove IN

Meantime. according to another YER
sion. the body OF murdered man
wrapped in "a fur coat. was placed in

NEW FACTS DISCOVERED
Police Working From New Angie ON
MaIztc Colbert Murder
Mystery.
I3v Ns>ociatrL I'rcs,.

PHILADELPHIA. January New
facts bearing on the facts OF Maizie
Colbert. also known as Mrs. Roberts
the artists model found murdered in
her apartment here late Saturday
night under mysterious circum instances,
were revealed t. the police o-day by
city employee, who said he knew the
girl and her family. Running out
many clues which have not yet re-
suited in an arrest, The detectives
worked on the mystery from a new
angle in the light OF this informa; lion
The son of an upstate brewer uues-
toned for hours on Monday BY detec-
tives, was again sought to-day, but
he could not be found.
Miss Colbert was infatuated with a
University Of Pennsylvania graduate
and foimer football player. but they
had Icen estranged for several months.
the authorities say the municipal en-
ployee Told them. Several weeks ago
the man. who lives AT Cynwyd, a
suburb. sought a reconciliation and
arranged for dinner party with the
young woman OH New Years Day. &C
cordina 10 the detectives informant.
One theory Of the police is that an
other Of Miss Colberrs admirers
learned Of the reconciliation and began
/. jealous quarrel that ended with the
girls death.
The police to-day tried TO locate the
young Cynwyd man. but did not sue
coed They expect TO find him to-
morrow.
The authorities arc nov convinced
that wealthy clubman from another
city, who had been under suspicion, is
no; the slayer y further examination
to-day showed that the girl was
beaten and kicked. but that death was
due to strangulation. Her front teeth
were knocked out and a silk stock :
ing was tied tightly around her neck.
