There are middies, smocks, sweaters
and coats for 'outdooring, that is, for all
sorts of sport and recreation wear.
And their comrades are skirts, bloom
ers or breaches, according to the sort
of service to be required of them. For
tennis and golf, skirts that will wash
again and again and come out as fresh
and unfaded as when they were new,
have not been rivaled as yet by bloom
ers or breeches-for some other sports,
skirts are thing Of the past. With
these washable skirts plain blouses are
worn and swagger little coats made Of
summer flannel, serge or other ma
terials-and. Of course, sweater or
sweater coats.
The coats the thing this year, that
has almost absorbed the attention Of
those who specialize in designing sport
clothes. And it has been presented in
variety Of new styles so that
when it is slipped on over a
skirt and blouse it tones up the cos
tune, lending it neatness. Sleeveless
coats of satin and velvet were among
these new ideas and have proved them
selves successful. Among new arrivals

the simple but swagger little coat
shown in the picture, need not fear
comparison with coats Of more costly
goods-it has some points of advantage
over them. 1t is made of summer fan
mel in any of the gay bright colors and
touched up with white in pearl buttons,
pique' collar and arrowhead finish Of
pockets.
Just the skirt for this coat is shown
with it. It is Of heavy white pique
and fastens at the middle of the front
where row of white pearl buttons fin
ishes the overlapped seam. There
are any number of sport hats that will
top off this practical and pretty out
fit. But its youthful wearer has chosen
a tam of white corduroy, one Of
the .blue devil" models that embodies
much dash. Its long tassel matches
the coat in color. Where something
more dignified is needed, for an older
woman, one of the coconut braids in
white embroidered with yarn or silk
flowers against the crown, would make
a good choice, and there is the perennial
Panama with handsome band or scarf
that belongs to all summers.

The Isabella Color.

Once Spanish princess vowed not
to change her lingerie till certain
war was won, and as that took many
months, the result was that fashion
able Spanish ladies of the time, who
looked to this princess for leadership
in the matter of dress, soon came to
adopt yellowish-brown sort of linen
for their 'kerchiefs, fuckers, wimples
and other similar apparel. The prin-
cess name was Isabella, and this
fashionable shade was known as Isa-
bella color, and one occasionally hears
this name applied in Paris even to
this day to sort of ,yellowish-brown
that really does look like linen that
had been dedicated to laundryless
existence Although we have had
every shade of lingerie, we have not
yet had this color. The next thing to
it, and something that surely wouldn't
appeal to all womanlSind, is the new
lingerie of nickel-gray that has been
put on the shelves of one or two of
the exclusive women's shops. There
is complete set of this gray under
wear in crepe de chine.

Why the veil? Merely masculine

They are strictly feminine institution
and whether they are worn to add
charm to the face or to call attention
to charms already there, or for some
other reason, these are mysteries only
the yelled lady can solve for us. But
they make opportunity for capricious
ornamentation and for variety-two
very good reasons for the loyalty with
which women favor them.
New face wells this summer are near

Chronic Gossipers in Wall Street
Are Put Under Ban by Ex-
change Officials.
UNPRECEDENTED in STREET
While Not Completely Checked the
Tendency Is Toward SURPRISING
Wild Stories That Might Be
Harmful.

New York.-War has wrought many
and varied changes in Wall street
ways. The adjustment of the financial
district and it's army of workers to
the new order of things ushered in
by the entrance of the United States
into the war has gone ahead steadily
and is still progressing. The process
will go on until peace comes and per-
shaps thereafter. Banks, foreign ex-
change, the security and commodity
markets, have all felt the hand of the
war god in varying degree, and the
changes that have taken place in bust
ness methods and customs in the
street would surprise the Wall street
frequenter Of five or ten years ago.
Probably one of the most interest
ing developments in the financial dis
trict since our entrance into the war
has been the attempt made by the
market authorities to put the ban on
the rumor-monger. In normal times
the most gossipy place in the coun-
try is to be found right in the finan-
cial district where rumor is born
every minute. Millions of dollars
have been made and lost in Wall
street on the circulation of rumors.
There have been times when wild
stories were deliberately concocted for
stock market purposes.
Unprecedented on Street.
Dame Rumor lately, however, has
been taken in hand by the officials of
the New York stock exchange and
the New York cotton exchange, and
while she is still to be found at large.
her activities have been much re-
stricted. On the stock exchange the
governors recently adopted resolu-
lions to the effect that "the circula-
ton in anysmanner of rumors of a
sensational character by members of
the exchange or their firms will be
deemed an act detrimental to the in
terest and welfare of the exchange.
Similar resolutions were adopted by
the cotton exchange governing board
after there had occurred tremendous
slump in cotton prices ascribed partly

RUMOR IS INTERNED FOR
THE DURATION OF WAR

to rumors set afioat that the govern
ment intended to fix the price of cot
ton.
The effort being made to stop ru-
NOR spreading is new and has never
been done before. 1t has been eff
fective to degree, although 1t did
not prevent the fotation of rumor
that the German crown prince and
10000 men had been captured by the
allies. This rumor started the rounds
shortly after the opening Of the stock
market and later when it came back
to the exchange the total bag of Teu-
tons had reached $4,000.
Curiously enough during the recent
visitation of German submarines to
these shores the rumor factory was
comparatively idle, the only story
emanating from that quarter being a
rumor that six German submarines
were lying to off Atlantic City get
ting ready to lombard the resort.
Since the various exchanges banned
the dissemination of rumors their
point of origin has been carefully con-.
|lcealed so that 1T is next to impossl-
bic nowadays to run them down at
their source.
Curb on Wild Stories.
The German kaiser, who must
yield the palm only to the crown
prince in the number of times he has
been killed in this war, has been killed

again since 1914. On other occasions
he has died a natural death from
strange malady. There was time
when the death of the kaiser meant
to Wall street the end of the war so
that rumors of this character were
often put out with view to intiuenc-
ing the course of market prices. But
since the exchange banned rumor-
mongering the kaiser has not been
"killed" once in the financial district.
In the markets of 1915 and 1916 re-
ports Of war orders placed with in
dustrial companies filled Wall street
for months. Some Of the rumors
proved to be true, whereas others
We're made out of whole cloth. Peri
odically there came also rumors Of
peace proposals which on a number Of
occasions exerted an important IN
fuence on stock market prices. The
most frequently appearing reports
have been those Of vessels sunk at
sea.
1t would of course be too much to
say that the exchange authorities have
effectively checked rumors spreading
by their recent action, although I'M
doubtedly the tendency is toward
suppressing wild stories that might
be harmful both to sentiment and to
market values.

DEPORT ART INSTRUCTOR

Wives of Army officers and other So
ciety women who have been devoting
much time to learning new designssin
art embroidery and knitting, under
Karl Reid. will be disappointed to learn
that a deputy United States marshal
today conducted their instructor to
Union station and bade him remain
away from the District of Columbia
during the tendency Of the war.
Although Reid claims he was born
in Washington during visit Of his
mother to this country. he was taken
back to Germany while an infant and
remained there until he was nearly
thirty years old. AS he had no means
of proving his statement as to his
birth and admitted that he had been
taught in the government schools in
Germany and had never applied for cit
izenship papers, the Department of
Justice decided he was not entitled to
remain here.
Reid stated that he is fifty-six years
old and unmarried. He was arrested by
Bicycle Officer Marks at his home, 521
X street northeast, last night. He told
the officials that he thought his Amer
ican birth rendered unnecessary the Sc
curing of naturalization papers.
He has resided continuously in Wash
ington, he said, since 1898. and has fol-
lowed several purusits. Latterly he has
been employed at an art store and teaches
classes of women in the evenings.

NEW ORLEANS, February 12.-For the
first time since the war between the
states. New Orleans today failed to cele-
brate Mardi Gras with the customary fes-
tivities, masking and parades. Owing to
the world war all the merrymaking and
pageantry which formerly characterized
the fete day were abandoned by the city
authorities and by the various carnival
clubs.
The city authorities forbade masking
today on the ground that it might PERM t
enemies of the nation to commit unlaw-
full acts while disguised. All the balls and
social affairs usually given during the
few months just preceding Mardi Gras by
the carnival organizations also were dis
pensed with this season.
