interesting feature of autumn millinery
that you should be glad to note.
Quite the reverse from the extreme
fashion standpoint, yet nevertheless
smart, despite it's conservative tone, is
the becoming turbon of rich brocade,
velvet and tiny ostrich tips, artistically
combined. This hat illustrates still
another use of ostrich, the regulation
small curled tips. Not SO new a treat
ment of ostrich but always a pleasing
and satisfactory one, especially if one
takes advantage of the modern process
of shower proofing that insures the
beauty of the feather against all mois-
ture whether fog or rain.
If you are not familiar with this
very commendable innovation in appar-
ell insurance ask your milliner about il
OF the shop where YOU buy feathers
for the hat you trim yourself.
Model for Autumn.
knother new autumn hat, like most
of the new models, is of velvet, turned
up sharply in the frcnt and trimmed
only with a rich cluster Of silk flowers
ard foliage. 1t is an excellent model
fer first choice in the development of
your autumn wardrobe, for it can be
worn now-right now-and that's what
most Of us want to do with new things.
A costume that has been much adj
mired is a simple, dignified dinner
gown of charmeuse, with underskirt of
contrasting color, simply trimmed with
ribbon in two widths and colors, mod
eled after the beautiful lines Of the
early Greek costume. This is the sort
OF gown that is not dependent upon
any within of fashion for its accept
ance. 1t is the kind of gown that can
be worn until it is worn out, and this
is feature that appeals to many wom-
en- not entirely from the standpoint of
economy, but because many of us must
be well acquainted with our clothes
before we are quite comfortable with
them. Like old acquaintances, we
must feel that our clothes wear well,
and not from the standpoint of actual
wearing service, but from that of pre-
senting us in the best possible light,
OF helping us appear at our best.

WHIRLWIND OF DEBATE
Proposal to Amend Shantung Section

Washington, Aug. 2S...-ProvisiOn for
American representation on score o.
international commissions to carry out
details of the peace settlement would
be stricken out of the peace treaty
under sweeping amendment adopted
by the senate foreign relations com,
mittee.
Later in the senate itself the com

the Shantung section raised whirl
wind of debate with Senator McCum-
Der, North Dakota, bitterly attacking
the committees course, and Senator
Borah, Idaho, defending it. Both are
Republican members of the commit

Nebraska, the Democratic leader,
talked over the possibilities of the sit

would be ratified during September.
Divide on Party Lines.
In its decision regarding American
participation in the reconstruction
commissions, the committee divided on
party lines, the nine Republicans pres

all being recorded in the negative.
Senator McCumber, who voted with
the Democrats against the Shantung
amendment, was absent
An exception was made to the com

which is to have charge of the collec-

Senator Fall, Republican, New Mexico,
who presented the amendment, said
he had not proposed taking the Ameri-

In the commissions which are affect

Some Effective Turbans.

What can stimulate interest In

little glimpse at new hats? For hats
are always interesting and hats are the
first new thing woman buys at the
beginning Of new season.
In fact, we buy new-hats regardless
Of seasons and wear them, too, without
consideration for their fitness for a
particular season; straw hats in JAN

And there are velvet hats and others,

fullness is really ''fiare" only, as the

BLOUSES IN WIDE VARIETY
Wash Fabrics Figure Prominently
Among Materials EmpIoyed-Pend-
ant Decorations Highly Favored.

The shops are really alluring in their
display of overblouses in fabrics and
styles suitable for summer wear. It
is perhaps an interesting thing that
wash fabrics have been made to serve
so admirably for these blouses-for
there was time when 1t seemed that
only chiffon and georgette and soft
crepe would do for them.
But now linen, organdie, batiste, ra-
tine-lots of ratine. too, which is an
other Of those interesting evidences
of a return to favor Of fabric or style
that has seemingly gone by-all these
and other summer fabrics, heavy,
homespun, notwithstanding things, are
used for the overblouse.
One thing that marks many of the
blouses is little tassels and hanging
buttons and fringe. There are all sorts
of these pendant decorations, from
sleeve ends and hens and just hang
ing down from any other part of the
bloase itself.
