Indianapolis, Ind.-Despite the

Element Of their differences with the
mine owners, the strike order stands.
After pronouncing strike of BIZ
luminous coal miners inevitable and
blaming the operators for forcing
walkout that may involve half . mii-p
lion men directly, the conference here
of Officials of the United Mine Work
ers of America wound up It's business
and dissolved. District presidents
and members of the scale committee
left for their homes to direct the To-
Gals in the strike.

ers for joint meeting will find the
organization ready to negotiate on

at the Cleveland convention Of the
union. t.tfas
These and other points in the
unions position were set forth in q !.
statement prepared by a. COMMITTEES
Of the conference and adopted By
unanimous vote.
The statement brought out that no
communication had been received
from the national ADMINISTRATION and
that the union had knowledge Of
President Wilson's attitude toward the I
strike only through newspaper scs
counts. 1t combatted the presidents
claim that the strike was illegal BY
asserting that the right to strike On
quit work had been upheld by the
courts and that in leaving their Jobs
the men will exercise a constitutional
prefogative, 4.
Charges that the miners were. en-.
deaHoring to force naturalization OF
the mines were Indignantly denied
and again the language of the states

Finally emphasis was laid on tho

Washington. The government put

Short Skirts With
Winter Evening Dresses

FOR the woman who objects to
having her legs silhouetted
through the black lace, this model
may be carried out with a longer
skirt. permitting only the edge
of lace flounce to show. When
brocade is used for the frock no
wired epaulets are needed, the ma
terial itself having sufficient body to
stand away at the sides without any
sort of stiffening. When the frock
is Of taffeta-and this design is at
tractive for young girls when car
ried out in that material--wire or
reed is used to distend the hip line.
In many of this winters even
ing dresses, with their extremely
short skirts and bodices scanty
enough to display feminine charms
with frankness that is startling, to
say the least, the most elaborate
materials appear. For instance, a
dress may be entirely of jet spangles
or of crystal beads, of a marvellous
lame in solid silver or gold, or in
gorgeous brocade, heavy with metal
interweavings. Again, such dresses
are in vivid tones of satin or taffeta.
and even more frequently of navy
blue or black satin.

Quilted Silk Gown
Trimmed With Jabot Frills

CHERUIT brings out a striking
novelty in the form of a Quilted
silk dress, made in vivid crimson
and trimmed at the left side front
with big jabot frills Of black satin
ribbon, which is so pleated as to fall
In rather set, woodeny folds. An
other clever use Of frills, which form
q sort Of jabot effect, is found in a
rich fur mantle made by Cheruit in
. new sealskin dye that is a beaver
color. This Is called "Musquash de
Ia RiviAre FRANCHISE" 70 distinguish
this fur from Hudson seal, the
best quality Of American muskrat.
The big beaver-toned cape is lined
with black taffeta and trimmed up
and down the front with q full frill
Of the black silk, at least nine inches
wide. tho edge Of which is cut In
deep Van Dyck points and pinked all
around. This falls in thick jabot
frills all the way down tho front
OF the cape, giving a very novel and
st the same time attractive finish
for the edge Of q wrap.

Circular Cape Novelty
With Three-Piece Frock

THE three-piece effect is given to
other satin frocks by the add
ton Of a narrow circular cape Of
fur to match the trimming Of the
dress. The extremely short black
satin frock shown at the centre Of
the page is of this type. A wide
band Of monkey fur is at the bot
tom and little detachable cape OF
the same fur ties with long narrow
ribbons about the neck. These mar
row circular capes, shown as an ex-
treme novelty. not only in fur, but
in beautifully embroidered tissues,
give very narrow shoulder shape
when finished with the high Direc-
toire collar, as many of them are,
make the figure of the wearer ap-
pear very slender and greatly in.
crease ones height.
Some very simple capes Of this
type are Of blue serge a ID black
satin. The latter do not at first
consideration seem practical, but
they serve the purposes of clev-
erly giving considerable snartness
to a simple frock as we'll as at
tording protection to the shoulders
and neck. With the costume Just de-
scribed is carried black satin muff
edged only at one side with fur.
Having the muff made to match the
dress is q fashion recently origi-
mated in Paris. Several evening
dresses Of the 1880 type have both
hats and muffs to match, a distinct
feature Of that period.
The 1880 note is made particu-
larly evident in some frocks devel-
oped In taffeta, with which are worn
the 1880 hat. The crown of the hat
is mass of puffy tatFeta drapings:
from the straight brim is suspended
veil. also distinctly Of that period.
The point Of difference, however, be-
tween the modern products and the
authentic 1880 styles is that the
present-day skirts have the epaule.
hip extensions. The figure is now
absolutely fat from hack to front
not circular, as in 1880.

Evening Gowns Now Shown
With High Collars

A MOTHER novel point in evening
dresses is the number Of models
that are being shown with high COL
lars. 1t is true these are often trans
parent, but nevertheless they afford
striking contrast to the extremely
decollete costumes which have been
almost the undoing of the evening
models shown by many Of the
houses. One fairly stood aghast and
" wondered how any woman could
hlng herself to even consider such
dresses.
Very lovely new frocks in hand
embroidered net and tulle are made
with these high collars, which
not only touch but pass the chin.
They are shaped to follow the out
line of the throat and chin, while
at the back they mount up more than
half the height of the head. One is
puzzled to know how a woman will
be able to do more than smile when
wearing one of these collars. Those
who wear them certainly do not look
as if they could, with any degree Of
comfort or convenience, either eat
or drink. Notwithstanding the ex-
tremeness of the high collars, they
frame the face in q very becoming

Skirts Length Uneven

H He skirts of some Of the
smartest evening dresses are
Il Of uneven length. One type
is longer at the sides than
either in front or back; another
is quite short in front, descending
gradually toward the back; while
still another is long in points, be-
cause of the extreme unevenness Of
the hem, caused by its deep slash
ings and cancellations. No skirt
made by Cabot this season has an
even hem. The hips Of some of
these evening frocks are extended
by means of wired foundations
shaped like epaulets. Sometimes
these extensions are fully nine
inches long by FIVE inches wide,
standing directly out from the
rather low waistline. Other dresses
Of the same character are trimmed
with ruchings, some of which are Of
ravelled silk.
The evening dress sketched to-day
shows many of these new features
and is topped by a sensible little
bodice, which is in pleasing contrast
to the extremely low-cut ones ap-
pearing on SO many models. This
frock is of pink and silver brocade.
There is double ruching on the
skirt Of pink velvet ribbon and sill
yer ribbon, one row above the other.
The scaloped bottom is bound with
silver ribbon. At the back the bot
tom of the skirt is about twelve
inches from the floor, but from there
to the front it gradually becomes
shorter. The front scallops reach
just below the knees, and from there
hangs a petticoat of black net edged
with silver lace.
