EVENING WRAPS OF ERMINE.
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

IL 1t hadn't been for his black tail

summer coat of dusky brown for onc

OF MS weasel relatives. For when err

| ropes or royalty it was always made
up with the tails, and this black

England fofbidding any one but mem

you could tell the rank of the wearer
by the number of tails. Apparently
mere were not enough tails to go
round, for sometimes black lambs
fur was skillfully made up into err
mlnelike tails to supply the demand.
What Becomes of the Tails.
But now fshaion feels less interest
IN these inky appendages; and if they
are USED at all it is sparingly. AL
most one might say that now ones
rank-at least in a financial way
can be judged by the absence of tails.
Don't you sometimes wonder what the
furriers do with the extra tails? For
hundreds of pelts are needed to make
one garment of tailless ermine, and
usually only few of the tails go to
deck it.
against the use of ermine The price
-plus the luxury tax. which mounts
so nigh in so valuable fur-is
enough to keep it out of the reach of
the many.
And surely no king, even the most
wearing fur so lavishly as it needs
must De worn when the woman of
fashlon and wealth sets her heart on
an evening wrap made entirely of
pe1try. A generation ago woman
could have set the whole town talk
ing over an ermine evening coat that
would not have taken as many skins
as are now needed to fashion the
drapery of one sleeve. for there was
this advantage at least in the narrow
CONSTRUCTED forms so painfully
achieved by our mothers and grand
mothers. Fur wraps. like all other
wraps, were made so as to show the
slender lines beneath. The wrap
draped lavishly at the cost of hun
dreds of pelts would have been taboo
an regarded as one of her chief claims
to charm.
Fur and Fabric Combined.
But if these togalike fur evening
wraps do cost a kings ransom when
made entirely of fur. they have some
thing of an advantage for the woman
who must count her pennies For,
they lend themselves far better to the
combination of fabric aud fur than do
coats built on a more form fitting
model. If you can afford moiety Of
fur this can be combined with velvet
or satin without producing the effect
of skimpiness. If you cannot have
an ermine wrap like the one sketched
for you. you can perhaps have a wrap
of the same graceful lines, fur being
used merely for the collar or possibly
for the edge of the front drapery. For

THE NEW BLOUSE.

When the lace winter groupings of
French blouses were displayed a few
weeks ago it was discovered that
French designers had laid great en-
phasis on waistcoat models. This
waistcoat effect appeared in many
forms. depending upon whether the
model was of the tailored or mere
"dressy' type, and probably as a re-
suit of this French leaning to vest
effects in and on blouses American
designers have brought out a great
many charming models featuring
vests of one sort and another.
The sketch shows a modish slip
over he-head blouse to be made of
plain and plaid fabric, or of plain
material with vest tucked or stitched
in checked design. Plain white satin
or crepe de chine might be attractive
ly combined with checked taffeta or
with self fabric treated as indicated
above, the waist and neck to be fin
ished with black velvet ribbon.
A blouse of this type is especially
charming for southern wear.
The separate blouse has become so
a part of the wardrobe that

of the fur stringency in Paris has
brought forth the display of much in
genuity on the part of dressmakers
and mantua makers in the graceful
and pleasing combination of furs and
fabrics.
In the sketch there is an evening
wrap showing good combination of
ermine and silver fox. Enough tails
are used to trim the bottom of the
coat. The fox forms the collar.

PLEAD mot GUILTY
TO KILLING TREATY
General DiscIaiming in Sen

Really Is Dead"

"Who killed Cock Robin?" Who
killed the peace treaty?
Not I, nor the administration sem
ators." declared Senator Underwood
of Alabama yesterday afternoon in
the first debate on the treaty since
the new session opened.
Not I, nor the republican senator's
supporting the Lodge resolution"
said Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin.
WELL" said Senator Borah of Idaho,
one of the last ditchers" opposed
to the treaty. II don't care who killed
it, but it is a great and glorious thing
if the treaty really is dead"
Mr.. Underwood Starts Debate.
The debate was started by Senator
Underwood of Alabama, who read the
republicans a lecture for having been
in session from May until November
without having turned out any con-
structive legislation, and wound up
with the charge that they are now
preventing action on the treaty OF
peace. He insisted that the treaty
is still on the desk of the Vice Preei-
den and that a majority Of the Sen.
ate can take it up and CONSIDER IL
any time it desires.
Senator Lenroot and Senator Lodge,
republicans, on the other hand, de-
clared that it could not be taken up,
but that it would have to De VIII,
drawn by the President and submitted
afresh il it is to be considered FUR
! Their, owing to the fact that the reso-
] lutions to ratify with the Senate res

! had been defeated directly and on

Forerunner Of Attempts.
The debate yesterday was only
! forerunner of the attempts which I'M
doubtedly will be made by the adj
ministration to force the hand Of the
Senate and compel it to take up and
dispose of the treaty now. that the
President has said, Let the burden
rest on other shoulders for a while"
| Senator Borah said that he hoped
sincerely that the treaty was dead
and would stay dead. If Abe Senate
had killed it. he said. it was the best
thing the Senate had done in years.

PREDICTS GEN. WOOD
WILL BE G. O. P. NOMINEE
Senator Moses Of New Hampshire
Declares That Political History
Is Repeating Itself.

Senator Moses of New Hampshire,
the native state of Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood. in a statement today declared
that the general would be selected as
the republican nominee for President
when the national convention meets
in Chicago. He said:
Political history is repeating itself.
In every quarter of the Union
forced crop of favorite sons is ap-
pearing in the vain hope Of stopping
the progress of the movement to make
Leonard Wood the next President.
Neither 1916 nor 1908 has receded so
far into history as to cause thought
full republicans to forge the futility
of an allied movement against a can
didacy which is truly national in
character.
The Wood organization is complet-
ed under the leadership of John T.

rection of William Cooper Proctor of
Ohio the Wood League is now being
organized to supplement the other &C
tivities of Gen. Woods friends and
to correlate the whole endeavor to
make him the. nominee.
"Of the success of that endeavor
there can be no doubt. Not since
June, 1915, has there been so numer-
Gus and SO widely representative a
company of republicans assembled as
that which assembled here this week
in connection with the meeting of the
national committee; and the testimony
from every quarter is substantially
and incontrovertible as to Gen. Woods
present and increasing strength.
Clearly. 1T is Wood against the field,
and the field is preparing the usual
campaign which such a situation in
dicates. 1t need not surprise the
generals friends to find that the crop
of favorite sons is Immediately to be
followed by crop of fallacious rumor.
innuendo and possible defamation. But
the situation is well in hand. South
Dakota is not a sporadic incident in
the campaign. 1t is the forerunner of
other successes yet to come"

After running two or three blocks
ahead of the fire chemical auto when
it was responding to fire alarm call
yesterday afternoon about 80 clock,
the Srudebaker of Henry Steel of
Woodburn was slightly damaged on
State street when the car struck the
rear wheel of the chemical. The Stude-
Daker was thrown to the parking,
striking telegraph pole which was
broken by the impact. Fortunately
neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Steel who were
in the car were injured. The only dam
age to the chemical auto was dent on
the hub. 1T seems that the chemical
auto was making about 35 miles an
hour and was sounding the siren, but
the Studebaker ahead driven by Mr..
Steel did not turn out to give way un
til the chemical almost reached it. In
turning out, the Studcbaker was swerv

ical passed. The fire was just south of
the Epley store on State street in a
pile of old shingles that had been
stacked under an apple tree.
