1t is lirde Ciitedlt to sum up the
styles in suits when they are in the
experimental stage. Some of the new
features in them may prove short
lived and therefore not develop into
fashions, but 1t is evident now that we
are to have choice OF two silhouettes
this fall. The matter of cloths is also
settled and these range through sew
eral weaves, beginning with home
spuns and serviceable tweeds and pro-
crossing to velours, duvetyn and lib
cline cloths. Besides many similar
weaves with suede or velvet finish,
Of the same character as duvetyn, are
dominant in the handsomer suits.
Skirts have not been shortened in
the face of the precedent set by Paris.
For street wear they remain ankle
length and are generally plain. The
coats the thing. Designers have de-
veloped 1t, with many clever varia-
tions, along the straight lines with
which we are familiar, and along Go.
Diet lines with full rippled basque worn
over either full skirt or plain, fit
ted one. These straght-line coats are
longer than those of last season, and
are belted. On the formal suits fur and
silk embroidery provide rich decora-
tons.

The outstanding features in the new
styles appear in two suits shown here.
One of them is utility model depend
ing upon wide tucks and conspicuous
buttons for garnishing. The three
quarter length coat, with narrow front
panel, buttons straight up the front.
This panel is flanked by wide bands OF
cloth at each side and extending below
it. These bands appear at each side
of the back also, and five buttons on
each band mark the termination of five
wide tucks in the side panels that dis
appear under the bands. The narrow
belt slips under straps of cloth and
fastens with small buckle at the
font.
A dressier suit of velours shows q
repetition Of set-in panels at each side
Of the coat, but these panels are made
of narrow vertical plaits set on under
the arms. They extend eight inches
below the bottom of the coat and are
finished with band of fur. There Is
long shawl collar of fur, and the mar
row belt of cloth fastens with a but
ton at each side. Soft furs, like seal
skin, squirrel, mole, and raccoon and
other pelts which are not so easy to
recognize, are chosen for suits, but
the limits of our choice are much
wider than these.

Just before starting out on his speak
ing tour President Wilson announced
that a general conference on indus
trial and economic questions would be
held in Washington early in October.
Already a number of leaders Of finance,
manufacturing, labor and agriculture
have been invited and the LIST will be
enlarged from time to time. The pres
ident and members of his cabinet will
take part in the discussions, and it is
the hope and belief of Mr.. Wilson and
indeed of everyone that the sessions Of
this round table will have decisive ben
eficial results in the way of stabilizing
industrial conditions. Certainly much
good should come of the frank inter-
change Of opinions and suggestions
that is planned.
In general the labor situation is I'M

the war on high prices and the above
mentioned conference. At the same
time The radical elements are keeping
busy, and it may be the threatened
strike of steel workers will come any

The senate committee on foreign re-
lations voted to recommend the ratifi-
cation Of the treaty by the senate with
four important notifications. These
reservations provide for unconditional
right to withdraw from the League Of
Nations; assumption of no obligation
to guarantee territorial integrity of
nations or to employ troops for CO.
ercive purposes or to accept mandates
except under the direction of congress !;
full freedom to determine what ques-
tons are domestic and therefore not
subject to consideration by the league !;
exemption of the Monroe doctrine from
consideration by the league and dec
laration that the United States Is sole
interpreter of that doctrine.
Senator Shields Of Tennessee, Dem
ocrat, Joined the majority in voting for
all the reservations except that re-
lating to article Y. Senator McCum-
Der of North Dakota voted against the
first two reservations. On the last two
the vote was IL to 6.
The committee resolution stipulates
that the treaty ratification by the Unit
ed States shall not take effect until
the American reservations have been
accepted by three of the four other
great powers: Great Britain, France,
Italy and Japan.

measure has gone to the house. Sen

in the hands Of the secretary of the
