with the revival Of three-piece suih
blousemakers have come into thstr
own again and are showing waists
more beautiful than any we have
ever seen before; in fact, many Of
them are almost as elaborate ss
evening gowns. The elaboration.
however, is usually in the form cf
trimming as the blouses themselvss
are cut In q much simpler WY
than they were heretofore owing
to the fact that they slip over
the head, are finished at the waist
line and have very short sleeves cut
in Japanese fashion as part Of tAs

Drapery Elaborates
Backs of Late Gowns

AN EVENING gown. also by
Worth. illustrated to-day, shows
that even this conservative house
uses extreme d6colletage. The
draping Of this dress Is unusual in
these days Of balloon-like evening
skirts It is draped princess; at
the back is huge sash with loops
and ends lined with vivid blue, one
Of the sash ends forming the train.
This is another example Of elaborst-
ing the backs Of dresses. He has.
too, a smart afternoon gown of blue
serge trimmed with outstanding
neck frills Of black taffeta ribbon !:
on the hips Of the pleated skirt are
three sprouting ribbon frills which
form the extended hip.
Nearly al Of the new coat dresses
are girdled with velvet ribbons
which knot carelessly at the side; or,

New Skirts

~ ARIS dressmakers have hia
upon a new idea in their de-
signs for winter evening
dresses, They are now en-
phasizing tho back Of the garment.
This is done in various ways. For
instance, a beautiful black dress has
at the back vivid coral velvet, In the
form Of 9 bodice and half length

folds d black drapsry.

lar cut skirt and held IL upside down,

way the surplus fullness falls from

woven for Ascot ties. Tho ribbon
trimming this dress is q deep coral
satin which offers q striking con-
trast to the body Of the gown. There
Is no note Of color except this big
jabot-like trimming down the front.
The heart Of the ribbon manufac-
turer Is made glad by the great
French dressmakers. who make Law
ish use Of ribbon, not only for at
tracing attention to the backs Of
dresses but for ruches and all sorts
Of trimmings both pleated and plain.
From the subtly simple frocks that
make French women look like little
girls, with their short skirts and
straight lines falling over uncorseted
figures, there almost invariably Aut-
ters little ribbon sash. To meet
this demand those who manufacture
ribbons are excelling In colors beau
tiful enough to delight the most ex-
acting masters Of dressmakins. who
rely greatly on the blending or con-
trasttng Of these bits Of color 10

Worth makes tho entire back Of
a black satin dress Of loops Of wide

Worth in which the skirt is formed
Of tiers Of broad black satin rib

attracting moro attention to the

ceived since the days of bustles. the

Dress in a Hurry Style
Her Touch o War Trimness

MANY Of these coat dresses are
double breasted, tapping far
around under the left arm and often
invisibly fastened This type Of
dress was originated during the
Paris bombardment, under the title
Of "Coup-de-Vent" or "Dress-in-a-
Hurry" style. Cheruit's. customers
doubtless have found them 60
practical that she has retained the
idea in her after-war designs. Aside
from their art and simplicity, they
are extremely practical for winter,
being made Of warm, comfortable
materials such as rough woolens,
plushes, velvets and duvetyns. Their
double tapping fronts will be good
chest protectors if their wearers
will only button them up. Indica-
tions are, however, that, despite
their voiuminous collars and wide
tapping fronts, they will be care
lessly held together.
The possessor Of old Spanish laces
Is indeed fortunate, because some
OF the most charming frocks are now
being evolved from them. Such
frocks are made with full hounced
skirts that fall from epaulet hip ex-
tensions. A very lovely model is de-
veloped from a combination Of black
and white Chantilly lace. The back
OF the dress is all white lace, while
the front has a rather full drapery
of both black and white. The
bodices Of lace dresses are high
necked, but without collars, and are
left transparent, to show the al
most nude body. They have very
ample bishop sleeves Of full length
with elaborate cuff finishes.
The adoption Of the one-piece dress
and topcoat in this country inter
fered for some time with the manu-
New-York tribune., 1919-11-16

on evening gowns Of black tulle,
while Martial ct Armand show many
dresses with ribbon sashes so big
that one wonders where all the rib
bon is coming from.
A distinct feature Of Cheruit's
clothes this year is the side fasten-
ing or coat dress in simple one
piece style modelled after the red
ingote. Also the continuation Of
the chemise dress in three forms:
that is, in straight line, in low
waistline girdle or in normal belted
waistline. Hip extension dresses
are seemingly introduced to meet a
demand Of the moment, but do not
portray real CheEuit ideas. The
marked preference Of this house is
for the simple one-piece dress Of
rather straight line and, IL must be
admitted, Of great charm.

he was elected to his first political
ofhce-that of asemblyman in the
New York Legislature.
Il remember him as he was on that
day, surcharged with life and Yigor
and sincere ambition-destined to be-
come one of the greatest and most
forceful political figures in the
world. said Prof. Swisher, with a
touch OF sadness in his voice "And I
remember him at the zenith OF his
power and popularity. His life aims
had been attained. He had done more,
far more, than he hoped. And as he
was truly glorious in life, so he must
be glorious in death. His fame shall
be as lasting as the American nation
until the end of all life. All honor to
Roosevelt. He loved his country.

Roosevelt made him a United States
marshal for Oklahoma. The Colonel

Roosevelt assembled his tennis cabi-
net or other admirers in the base
ment Of the White House and there
they threw the medicine ball or play
ed high spy" throughout the build

trim.
There are half a dozen men around
the White House who have seen
Roosevelt running all over that build

guished men who were his intimate
friends. He would whoOp with the

 The car which was responsible for the arrest of AVerga and Pandolfi, was stolen by Averga from this city about four week ago. Averga took the car to Boston where he took out a Massachusetts license. It is said that he was joined by Pandolfi in Boston.
 The car which was a 1916 Hudson and answers the description of the automobile containing five men, who on December 20. held up the paymas- ter of the General Elecrr,c Lo., at Everett, Mass, stole the payroll of $7,000, and shot the paymaster in the right leg. The General Electric Company have offered a reward of $ 900 for information which will lead to the arrest and conviction of the men responsible for this job.
 The local police authorities state that they know Pandolfi as a particu- larIy dangerous and clever criminal, one who would not hesitate to shoot should he think the occasion called for gun play.
