The brocaded metallic cloths are in orchid and silver, gold and brown gold and black, black and silver, and blue and silver, with coral trim ming on one model. An effective color combination is gold net over French blue duvetyn, with small flower motifs of cretonne applied so that they appear hand painted:
 The metallic effect IS further ac- cented by the stitching on velvet of metallic threads, as gold or silver.
 Beaver cloth makes brims on hats with duvetyn crowns or, even more unusual, on crowns of printed Geor- gette. Beaver brins on small hats have feather crowns laid on in rather unusual ways, the feathers flat and one sided and used to form a semi circular crown.
 In colors, in the various fabrics. there is a shade which suggests the pollen dust of the tiger lily in it's soft velvety brown-orange tones. It is a color which does not seem to have name, although each house has one, but the designers say be- longs to the class of henna, but it is far from the henna or mahogany shades and more like nasturtium.
 Jade, as trimming in wool, is used extensively; all black hats are seen; brass shades are interesting and lend themselves to smart color decorations In the ratine embroidery; black and citron are combined; peacock, old blue, mahogany and gamut or browns from the darker shades through the nut tones are extensive ly shown in duvetyn.

 Ibis is a great contrast to the later pericds, when Rome was beginning to show unmistakable signs of degener acy.

Orom the Painting by Alma-Tadema)
 The vintage festivals of very early periods in ancient Rome were grave and beautiful ceremonies, like the pro cession depicted upon a Greek vase that Keats celebrates in his famous ode. But, as was noted in yesterdays article, they degenerated into drunken revels so unrestrained in debauchery end riot that they make New York'S widest welcomes to the New Year seem tame affairs by contrast
 There are many evidences that wine was too scarce in the earliest periods to allow drunkenness to become com mon. King Nuna issued a law that funeral pyres must not be sprinkled with wine, and one of the generals of the o1den time vowed an offering of a small cup of wine to Jupiter if the god would permit him to gain a victory over his foes. And oftentimes milk is mentioned instead of wine as being offered to the gods. This was not be-

USED TURKISH BATHS
TO KILL OFF GREEKS
DR.. White of U. S. Committee of Re-
lief Says Victims Were Exposed
To Pneumonia.

New York, July 30.-Charges that
Turkish officials decimated the Greek
population along the Black Sea coast,
100000 men, women and children
living between Sinope and Ordou.
without the shedding of blood but by
"par-boiling" the victims in Turkish
baths and turning them half clad out
to die of pneumonia and other ills in
the snow of an Anatolian winter, are
made in letter from DR.. George E.
White, representative of the Ameri-
can committee for relief in the near
east, made public here today.
Sinope was the birthplace of the
philosopher Diogenes, DR.. White re-
calls, and Ordou is just beyond Cape
Jason, which is still preserved in
memory of the Argonauts and the
Golden Fleece. The letter, written
to Prof. ]. P. Eenides, secretary of
the Greek Relief Committee here,
described the new method of Kidding
the land of its inhabitants which, it
is said, was somewhat different from
that employed by the Turks against
the Armenians.
The worst of the crimes laid to the
Turks, according to DR.. White, were
committed in the winters of 1916
and 1917, when orders were issued
for the deportation of the Greeks
along the Black Sea coast. The peo-
pie, he wrote, were crowded into
steam rooms of the baths in Chorum
under the pretense of sanitary reg
ulations" and after being tortured
for hours were turned out of doors
into snow almost knee-deep, and
without lodging or food. Their gar
ments which had been taken from
them for fumigation, were lost, ruin
