us off and on for two years, and the
American women have insisted that
they were weary of it. They Will nave
their chance to prove whether or not
they can whip up their interest IN II
to the extent of ordering new gowns
on this line and wearing them at
pleasure.
When the house of Callot exploits
silhouette, she is apt to cling TO IT,
but it is always the kind of silhouette
for which the house is famous and
which can be rarely achieved by an
amateur or copyiSt.
No one has ever been able to quite
get the evening gown with the wrap
ped line at the waist and hlps ana tne
queer little train at the back. 1t has
been attempted by hundreds but al
ways shows that it is a copy.
Changes in Chemise FrOckS.
This can be said for the comfort of
those who are weary of the straight,
one piece frock: that the Callot sisters
have made enough changes in 1t to
accent its appeal.
The chemise tunics of other years
flared at the hemr or at the knees
Today, our clothes cannot flare. 1t
is unfashionabls and unpatriotic. IL
looks as tho we did not care how
much material was used in the frock
There is no use publishing dlsobedl-
ence to a request. When the council
of national defense asks us to be
careful of wool. we Immediately be-
come careful of all material. and, led
BIZ our clever be1l-wethers, the de-
signers, we adopt silhouette that
looks as economic as clean bone.
In mideval days, there were all
kinds of chemise froclls. They ruled
the costumery of men and women
| for several centuries, and so we have
wide field from which to get sug-
gestion and inspiration. The house
| of Callot, as someone said, seems to
have gotten = recent suggestion from
the Middle Ages of the American
Indian.
| Had Mary Gordon worn one OF
these chemise frocks in her role OF
Natoma, and put a bit more color on
it, she would have been correctly
dressed. True. "Natoma" was not
but had it been, the costume would
probably have been the same.
Cabot bangles Beads.
The Indian suggestion is strongly
given at the house of Callot by a pro-
fusion of beads and fringes. These
are made to accent and glorify the
| slim. straight frock which might
otherwise lack in character. The
beads make it persuasive.
The sketch shows one of the best OF
these gowns built of pearl gray satir
with pleated panels of gray chiffon a
each side. dropping from neck t.
knees. They are finished with fringe
and beads. This bodice has a print
tive decolletage outlined with bead
that project themselves downward
over the armholes to straighten GU
the line at the shoulders.
The loose, flowing sleeves, finished
with their clashing beads and fringes
are made becoming to the arm by tn
, addition of a cross wrist-band which
: holds them in place The hack of th
frock is finished at the waistline will
a fringe of gray silk.

apart nine YEARS
Mans Wife Had Two New Chill
dren When She Returned.
He Sues for Divorce and His
Own Children.

After nine years separation his wife
returned to him with four children in
stead of two. which was the number
he had left her with, Everett Pierce,
613 Lawrence avenue, told Judge Rob-
ert D. Carver in the first division of

came the mother of two children Of
whom another man is the father.
However, he told Judge Carver that
upon their reconciliation he expressed
himself willing to take care of the
family additions, providing his wife
wouldn't say anything about them not
belonging to him. But when she told
about it and went to the Provident As
ISOLATION for help, he refused to Shout
der. the responsibility any longer.
Mrs. Pierce in cross petition de-
clared Pierce married her when he
had nothing but his nerve" and that's

STORY OF BETRAYAL
Ona Wright FYirted With Man and
Then Called Him Up.

Every minute Miss Effie Loder, pro-
baton officer from the Girls Indus
trial school at Beloit, remains away
from Topeka seems like an hour to
certain Topeka young men who have
been dragged into the scandal sur
rounding the reported betrayal of Ona
Wright, a girl paroled from the
school. Miss Loder didn't arrive in
Topeka this morning on scheduled
time and is not expected now until to-
morrow morning.
The girl is reported to have identi-
fled one young man in particular as
the guilty person. Her story of the
affair, as related by others, is to the
effect that he passed the house on
Fillmore street early in February and
a filtration ensued, in which she re-
ceived an invitation to come out
doors. Instead, she wrote note,
which is said to have read like this:
Don't call me here"
So the youth is reported to have
given her a telephone number which
she called. Several meetings between
the two have been claimed by the girl
On Sunday, it is said, the girl ran
away and hid at the home of a neigh
Dor. Officer Hill is reported to have
aided in a search for her which fin
ally proved successful. Then. came
the story of her betrayal and the en-
trance of Miss Loder on the scene.

The reason for this remarkable result
is because the functions cannot work

Get RAISE SOON
Railroad Employees To Receive
Notice Next Week.
UnOrganiZed Men Are Included
in McAdOO's Plans.
TO DISTRIBUTE $500, 900, 900
All Increases Will Be Dated
Back to January /.
Average Yearly Wage VIII Be
About $1,000.

Washington, March 2s.-The big
gest wage increase in the history of
the nation is expected to be an
bounced next week by William G!SMc-
Adoo, director general of the rail-
roads.
1t will aggregate more than $780,
100000, it is reported, and will af-
sect more than 1,626.OOO men and
women employees of the country's
Transportation systems
Save for few minor details the
report of the railroad wage commits
sioHr which has been working for
months on the task of wages and IV-
Ing conditions is completed. 1t bears
sweeping recommendations for salary
INCREASES and these without doubt
will be given the approval of the di-
recto, general. The report will be
transmitted to Mr.. McAdoo within
the next few days.
Perhaps the most striking feature
of the report is that it gives direct
consideration to the rank and file of
employees who have lahored for years
without any apprecia BILE increase in
their wages. Lacking the organization
and strength of brotherhoods. they
have pleaded lost cause" as far as
audible recognition of their COM
plants from railroad officials are con-
cerned.
Union Men Gel Big RsllSe.
On the other hand, however organ
lied labor is recognized by the COM
mission in handsome fashion and one
which is designed to weld the union
men of the railroads into a completely
satisfied branch of the industry.
The wage increase announcement
wilESbe doubly enhancing to the en-
ploYes because it is retroactive from
january 1, 1918. This means that
eact15 employe whose pay check as
suraes greater dignity because of the
benefcence of the government will re
entitled to the amount of his increase
from the first of the year.
The wage commission has stead
tasty maintained silence both as to
the amount of the increase it has
recommended and the manner in
which the salary boosts will be ap-
por4ioned. One report, tho lacking Of
ficial confirmation has been to the eff
fectsthat lump sum increase based
ION the average yearly wage is the sub
staHee of the recommendation.
Make Average 81 900.
--latest railroad statistics show the
average wage of employees, excluding
general and division officers, to be
s$S $3.50 a year. On the basis of an in
screaee which would make the aver
sageswage $1,000 year, the aggregate
would be s213, .584.93. Such an in
fcreAse, it is said, is not unlikely espe-
1cia1iy in view of congressional action
jim Increasing the pay of postoffice
4empioyes.
The increase is not expected to af-
feet either general or division off
scers,SeXcept for isolated cases because
'theFsas a class receive an annual aver
fagesalary in excess of $4,000 each. A
portion at least of the money saved
PIN reducing what the director general
idesraed excessive executive salaries,
will go toward making the little fell
slowsS better able to meet the high
scostof living bugaboo.

QUESTIONING wheat, but explained that
food administrators in the wheat states

wheat to the allies, to appeal to farm
ers to market their surplus wheat
after caring for seed requirements.
Attention of state administrators has
been called to the many reports of
German farmers refusing to market
any of their wheat. Administrators
have been asked to investigate such
cases and to direct such persons to at
