Dress of Monk
Favored in Paris
/ Fall Fashions
(Waxhington Herald-Cross At
Iantic Service, Special Cable
DisDatch,l

Dispntch.)
Paris. Sept. 25. The new
fashions for autumn are all OF
distinct originality.
In afternoon frocks there are
three new inspirations - the
Moorish, the Gypsy, and the
Monastic. Again and again one
is reminded of the monks dress
not only by the materials used,
but also by the severity of the
lines and by such monastic de-
tails as a cord girdle and a cowl
hanging down the back.
The Moorish and gypsy dresses
are remarkable for their daring
color scheme. The favorite
shades will be tawny orange,
bright yellow, rich claret, and
mulberry.
Capes and theater eloaks will
be very full and loose. Here the
Moorish note is in full evidence.
AS regards both day frocks,
coats, and capes, the high stand
ing collar is essential. The mode
this autumn is indeed inclined
to favor especially the tall
woman. Evening dresses are
even more decollete than before.

 In the contest yesterday Barnum boys held the upper hand all the way, but the tally was not made until the second half when Cisero scored for Barnun: That proved to be the only goal of the game and it ended one of the tightest battles ever waged in Seaside Park.
 In the first half Salit kicked the ball high over the goal posts, while Cisero on fine kick hit the goal posts. A foul gave Prospect a free kick and Mackey landed the ball !n the goal tenders hands. Cisero again

Crossman Plans To Chase Brown

Slim Jim to Move Over Into

Q. Slim Jim Crossman, bantamweight fight promoter extraordinaire is bust ing right out again. While it's a dull week when Jim or somebody else fails to pull said busting, 1t must be conceded that Crossman holds the headline palm, and his latest move, according to well-def1ned runor. is hend Boxing Chairman R.

These are the young men who so gallantly upheld the colors of the school. on the football field played the game all the time.
 Organizing football team out of green" material is one of Coach Hunts chief faults as proved during confident that next year he will have an outfit which will equal the one that has just finished it's season.
 The Red and Black boys boast of a crack team from the time of the first kick at Meriden to the final whistle at Newfield Park in the Everett game there was plenty of pepper and ginger displayed and only one game was lost. That was to St. Johns of DanverS, Mass. The past year makes the third that Coach Runt has acted as advisor of a team which has been in a possession to lay claim to the Connecticut State High School championship in boot football and baseball.
 Football critics claim that Hunt will not have a good team next sea son because of the graduation of some of his best athletes, but others
 
 team was left without the services of ''Shing'' Hammil1, Ed Hickey, Joe Murphy and "Acqua" Waters and still the 1920 eleven was just as good as the ones gone before.
 Loss Will Be Heavy.
 The loss of those who will gradu- ate will be felt by the school, but good men may be uncovered to take their places. The shoes of Jackie Maher, versatile punter, halfback and pivot man, may never be occupied in the manner of this letter man in all sports, but Coach Hunt may be ex- pected to dig up another.
 Another dent in the local machine will be the loss of Marty Ryan, whose recent spring from an ordinary guard. to a star plunging fullback set all the students talking about him. Ryan has an accurate toe | educated in Brickley fashion. and out of A chances he counted for 1s goals, missing one after a TO yard | dash for a touchdown.
