But bags and purses account for
more yards of magnificent ribbon than
other accessories. Between now and
Christmas there will be lively busi-
ness at the ribbon counter where
mountings for bags are sold along
with the ribbon to make them. In
the picture above purse and a bag
are shown. The long purse is a black
satin brocaded in silver. And the bag
is in brilliant colors striped with
black, mounted on black celluloid
frame.
The story Of plain satin ribbons, for
little bags and numberless other
trifles that women love, Is much long
er than that of the splendid brocades.
There are innumerabie trinkets made
Of ribbon. A little face powder bag
Of satin ribbon is shown In the picture.
1t has small round mirror in the bot
tom and narrow satin ribbon handles
that draw up and close the top. It
serves to carry small box of powder
and convenient puff.
Hair ribbons for little girls are
shown in many pretty striped vari-
cites and taffeta remains the favorite
for hair bows, which with bags keep
gay stream of ribbons flowing over
the ribbon counter.

The goddess Of the looms must have
fingered about American silk mills
when designers were planning this
seasons ribbons. And she was In a
happy and Opulent mood, for the ut
most In weaving has blossomed in
ribbons that are all the way from gay
to gorgeous. The richness of au-
tumn's colorful days, with sunshine
and moonskine, all are reflected in
brocaded ribbons heavy with gold and
silver threads and very brilliant In
sheen and color. So much beauty
lures one away from the considera-
ton Of its price which Is very high.
But only small quantities Of the
most gorgeous ribbons appear in any
apparel or dress accessories, except
for evening dresses. In these wide
metal-braided ribbons are used with
some generosity. Mostly the wide and
brilliant ribbons are used for making
shopping bags and purses, in the
crowns Of hats or in sashes on hats
and for vests in dresses and suits. In
evening dresses of tulle or crepe or
lace they make brilliant panels or
gtrdles and occasionally a handsome
afternoon frock looks to them for
touch of splendor in the gfrdle.

A stroll through establishments,
whose styles we know to be authorita-
tive soon verifies the assertion made
by manufacturers that tailored suits
are growing fancier. That is the first
impression to be gathered from almost
any display. But one must not draw
conclusions too quickly. 1t has come
to the place where there are several
distinct types of the tailored suit, in
Guiding the knock-about suit, the walk
ing suit and the promenade suit (Which
must be another name for what we
have known as the formal suit.) The
knock-about and walking suits will
please those who are welded to severe
tailor-made, while promenade and
formal suits are for those who like
departures from this type.
Probably the influence Of French
ideas has promoted the success of the
fancier tailored suits, for the severe
type has never been a favorite with
Paris. Where there Is no place for a
gay or frivolous or dainty touch to APP
parel, French designers seem to feel
hampered; they do not like the type
OF suit that attends strictly to the
business of being practical and well
made. They delight in unexpected lit
tie decorative touches that have no
reason for existing, except to be In
teresting and good looking.
All the new glove finish fabrics-and
their name is legion-promote the
cause of fancier suits. Duvetyn,
velours, duvet and their like, are very
soft with surfaces that vary, but are
never hard. Close behind them trico-

tine and gabardine lend themselves to
promenade suits by their texture. A
fine example in a tricotine model for
fall and winter wear Is shown in the
accompanying picture. 1t shows al
legiance to the last DEGREES for longer
skirts and coats and presents odd en-
placements of material on the skirt
and coat, with braid, buttons, and but
tonholes cleverly managed to elaborate
both. The collar Is unusual with
straight revers that extend over the
shoulder and widen at the back into
small square cape. The coat Is open
to the waistline at the front, making
plenty of opportunity for a fancy
blouse or vestee. The choker Of fur Is
a separate affair. The choker collar
is everywhere present, but Is often
convertible and is either of fur or fur
fabric or of the material in the suit.
Belts are narrow and may be taken
off so that the suit Is worn with or
without them. Occasionally q suit Is
shown with two belts, one of the fab
ric and one of leather. Not all coats
are long. There are those of the short
ripple variety that seem to be liked
best in the dressier suits. Their bodies
are semifitted Sleeves are long and
plain with occasional narrow turned
back cuffs for a small pointed flare,
and skirts are ankle length and only
moderately narrow, the hobble variety
never having achieved success among
smartly-dressed women.

JOKER (?) IN AGAIN
Herald Receives Another Anonymous Note, PurpOrting to Announce En- GaGemcnt of Local Couple.

Attention of the reading public is again called to that certain class of misguided individuals with an eXag- gerata sense of humOr who persist in sending into the newspaper office sup posed news items purporting to an- nOunce the engagement of certain in dividuals, Today another such anony- nous item was received and on inveS- tigatiOn it vas found entirely without foundation. The embarrassing and unfortunate possibilities from such items is obvious to those with the least spark of intelligence.
 An effort is being made to appre- bend any who attempt such prac actices and an example will be made of the individual if his or her identity can be learned. The cooperation of the public is asked in this instance, and only personal items of this nature that can be found to be bona fide will be printed. In this manner some anonymous items that are correct may be left out, but better safe than sor- ry.

GIRL APPRECIATES
 INTERBROOK FARM
YolIngstcr Writes Letter to Miss Bart lett of City Mission, VoiCinG
 Appreciation.

Miss Caroline Bartlett, head of the city mission which is conducting a summer home for mothers and chl- dren near Unionville, has received the following letter of appreciation from a little Assyrian girl who says she en- joyed the picnic at Interbrool<:
 You really succeeded in having de- lighted us by putting so much splen- dor into the spot where the picnic took place. The hammock was laid in the right place which was under a shady fir tree. The most pretty kind of crib was erected in which sat two of the cunAingest babies playing with dolls.
 ''When we sat down for lunch we saw different varieties of cookies, fresh and delicious. The refreshing milk was better to us than anything we had in the city. And the sand Wiches were also fine. When we went out hunting we found juicy raspber- ries. Then when we came back we padded in the sparkling water and refreshed ourselves. For my part thank the people who have given the picnic, for I appreciated it.
 . Tomorrow the public of New Britain is invited to a tea to be given at h. that a large number attend in order that they may observe the good that is done there.

PRESIDENT NOT TRAINER
OF SHANTUNG PROVISION

Denial that President Wilson drew
up the portion of the treaty giving
Japan possession of the Shantung pc
ninsula, as alleged in widely publish
ed stories, was made at the White
House yesterday, the statement being
the first official expression of the
President on this warmly contested
subject.
That President Wilson confidently
expects Japan to clear up the disputed
points of the treaty so that the SOW
ereignty of China will not suffer Is
indicated by the statement, which
reads:
1.-THE President authorizes the an
nouncement that the statement car
ried in several of the papers this
morning that he originated or formu-
lated the provisions with regard to
Shantung in the treaty Of peace with
Germany is altogether false. He ex-
erted all the influence he was at lib
erty to exercise in the circumstances
to obtain modification of them. and
believed that the ultimate action of
japan with regard to Shantung will
put the whole matter in it's true light"

SAYS PEOPLE TO BLAME
IF COAL FAMINE COMES
Wholesale Association Director
Tells House Committee Failure
to Buy Brings Danger.

George H. Cushing. managing di-
rector of the American Wholesale
Coal Association. told the House rules
committee today that the public
would be to blame for the coal fam
inc which the country probably would
face next winter.
There is plenty of coal in the
ground" he said. and plenty of min
ers to get it out. But unless the coal
users of the country buy. the coal
will not be mined" Mr.. Gushing said
Coal produced before last April
has been burned and that produced
since then has fallen short of the
yearly demand by at least 125,000.o coo
tons. Part of this shortage can be
made up, he said. if coal orders are
placed before railroads are tied Ut
with movement of crops. After thai
it will be too late, he added.

sees the opposition impenetra5 Bile and
irreconcilable.
Mr.. Wilson has still another card
to play-the American people He
thinks senatorial sentiment will
change after the people have been
given all the facts. If he does intend
to compromise in the end or if he is
obliged to yield, it is certainly not
Wilsonian to do SO at a moment when
he thinks the public opinion is his
way. And that is what Mr. Wilson has
confidently asserted-that an over
whelming body of public opinion
wanted the league established first
and corrections and revisions made
afterward.

Mr.. Hitchcock Protests.

Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska. the
ranking democratic member of the
committee on foreign relations. ex-
pressed his surprise that such a SEN
sation should be made about treaty
that has been in print for weeks and
that he himself has seen published
in the United States. He said he felt
it to be time that a protest should be
made against the seemingly settled
purpose of a few senators to criticise
and attempt to discredit the Preside mt
on all occasions, however trif1ing the
reason.
Senator Hitchcock said the Presi-
dai4ts had, told the Senate that he
world presently have occasion to lay
before IT. a special treaty with France.
its terms linking in with those of the
peacketfeaty; and the President had
added that he would take the liberty
t6ereserve that for a special occasion
and a later address.
Thus the President concealed
nothing, declared Senator Hitchcock.
Tina few words he outlined to US
what this treaty was and stated it
with precise accuracy. He submitted
the one great treaty which is certain
to be the subject of long discussion
and detailed study and must take
much time
Senator Brandegee interrupted to
say that the question that had been
raised was in regard to article ",
wherein the President had specifically
agreed with France that he would
: lay the treaty before the Senate at
1.-THE same time as the peace treaty
with Germany.
THE gist = of the matter is" said
Senator Hitchcock, that the two
. were TO be actually before the Sen
ate at the same time, and they will
be- The President said he would
presently lay the special treaty be-
, fore it.
! When does presently arrive?' in
squired Mr.. Brandegee.
! 1T is not for me or for senators to
,answer that question" replied Mr..
Hitchcock, who went on to charge
that some senators have been carry
ling on policy of systematically
.criticising, nagging and attempting to
,discredit the President while he has
iheen engaged in the work of negoti-
iating this great treaty"

Actions Disapproved.

1t was made plain by several per-
sons in the crowd that they did not
approve of the remark or; firing of
the weapon, one of the men applying
fool to the one who had done the
shooting, while woman in the crowd
remarked: why don't you all let
white folks alone?
Inspector Grant and members of his
flying squadron learned of the affair
shortly after it happened and hurried
to the scene in automobiles. The in
spector and several of his men crossed
the commons in the direction of the
fleeing man who fired the shot, while
Detective Cornwell and others went
to the Brennan home and learned
from Mrs. Brennan and her brother
the story OF the attack
The detectives were told that most
OF the colored people in the crowd
froWned upon the remark and shoot
ing, and the police feel confident some
Of them will tell of the identity of the
one who fired the shot.
