 "I like this frock especially well' said Madame, because it's comforta- ble and childish looking"
 The last of the quartet was of ham cording. The short sleeves had turned-back cuffs and an Eton collar finished the neck line.
 The little frock was very smart, and there's no denying the durability of gingham.
 DO you think she will like them?" Madame asked, smoothing out the folds of the party frock.

Madame had designed the froclS with a yoke shaped somewhat like bolere jacket, which formed the square neckline and extended well under the armholes. Long sleeves with no fitness at the top and a full skirt were the other features of this checked rose-and-white gingham combined with plain rose. The un- derbodice and upper part of the skirt were of the plaid while the plain was used for the sleeveless Eton jacket and the deep band about the skirt.

Washington, Oct. s1.--The long
awaited report on the aircraft investi-
cation conducted during the last five
months by Charles E. Hughes. and
Attorney General Gregory was plac-
ed before President Wilson tonight
by the attorney general and made
public. Delays and wastes Of the pro-

were due to chiefly to 1.-The defective
organization of the work Of aircraft
production and the serious lack Of
competent direction of that work by
the responsible officers of the signal
corps"
No fault is found with the man
afement of aircraft affairs since the
reorganization Of last May which
placed John d. Ryan in charge. The
civilian personnel of the aircraft pro-
duction board is exonerated of any
wrong doing. Attorney General Greg

in substantial accord with the
findings by Mr.. Hughes.
