TOWN CLOCK RUN
 ON GOVERNMENT TIME

Alleged time delinquencies on tlIH part of the big Segerstrom and Hagen clock are said to be causing some in convenience about town It appears however, that the charge that the old timepiece is negligent in its duties is hardly correct, save perhaps when the temperature falls to points below go - at which point the clock apparently decides it is too cold to work and stops dead. The trouble appears to be that there are a half dozen or so time standards in the city. no two of which are in agreement. One end eff the city appears to keep one time and tho other end another Inquiry discloses that the big clock is probably nearer accurate than any of them. as it is set by the time of the Signal Corps This at least is the declaration made by the custodian Gus Malin As the city council has designated the time of the clock as "city time" clocks which do not conform to the time designa ted by that timcpicce are in error. regardless of whether the tima shown by it is correct time or not.

GRACEFUL CAFES FOR SPRING
Garment, More Enchanting Than Ever. is Designed for Every Place and
 Every Occasion

The French are tenacious people, and once having plumbed the depths of a fashiop and found it practical and beautiful, they are Ioath to discard it, and ofttimes renew 1t from year to year by a few superficial changes. Thus it is that capes are with us still. more graceful, more supple and of different fabrics, but as enchanting as ever. For every occasion and place, from golf course to dancing verandaI new versions of silk, velvet and wool will be worn through the coming sea- sons.
 Of very newest design, which Ia letter from Paris describes, is a cape of heaviest silk crepe tightly accordion plaited hanging from a narrow throat band of moleskin. It is unlined and united, taking it's form from the shoulders of the wearer. The wonder ful silks in changeable effect. p1aids and tinseled embroideries shown here now could be utilized with stunning effect in one of these plaited wraps.
 Plaid silk is also plaited, but diag- onally in sunburst effect, and is hung from deep pointed yoke with a soft crush collar. For sports. wear or for use in the country is a smart knee length cape of striped taffeta with the lower part of the skirt criss- crossed with narrow stitched bands in a bewfdering design. For windy days a hood disgusting itself as large loose collar may be pulled up over the head.

BRIEF FASHION NOTES

Hats of natural 1eghorn with fringed brim .edge are an interesting item of millinery fashions.
 Transparent foliage in brilliant col bring is recent Partisan conceit in millinery trimming.
 An effective and practical lingerie set suggested for a trousseau is of orchid georgette, devoid of lace, but trimmed pleasingly with tiny ruffies of self-material and narrow ribbon in orchid and yellow.
 Some bo1ero suits are being shown and are suggested as being particu- larly smart and becoming for the young, slender woman, for these are made only in misses sizes
 The ripple suit of French origin has been copied by American manufacturs CTS, but on decidedly modified lines, to meet the approval of conservative women who want smart lines, but not radical or extreme lines.
 Smart modes in dresses are in evi- dence on all sides, until it is difficult to pick out any one mode for word DOT trayal, but frocks of tricotine are de- cidedly interesting when developed with plaited skirts and tailored sur- plice bodices that wrap about the waist and finish with sash effect, the entire bodice being almost completely covered with Japanese embroidery.

The neck may be finished with a flat collar tucked or hemstitched, or with three tiny, over tapping frills of lace. Or with an em- broidery beading run with black vel vet ribbon. The beading should take half-inch ribbon and should be attach ed to rounded. out neckline so that 1t VIII stand up straight-like a lit tie collar.

VARIETY OF STATS
MiIady Has Choice of Footwear
 for All Occasions.
Caters Come in Shades of Pawn, Gray and White; Also in Black,
 Brown and Tan.

The hours of the clock are told by fashions in feminine foot wear. For morning there are English brogues in chocolate brown, light tan, Russian calf and black calfskin. The rounded brogue toe carries a wing tip and brass eyelets are "the thing" on these shoes.
 If gaiters are desired they come in shades of fawn, gray and white for wear with 1ow-heeled, wing-tipped pumps in black, brown and tan, reach ing, only to the spring of the instep.
 The proper stockings for wear with brogues are ribbed wool, or silk and wool in plain shades or in Oxford and heather mixtures. The plain weave wool stockings are clocked in contrast ing colors. Silk or French lisle stockings are worn with gaiters.
 For afternoon wear there is a black vamp French heel shoe with light gray or tan suede upper that is very attractive with dressy gowns. This model comes in patent leather and dull leather and also in brown kid.
 If Cuban heel is your choice, the straight tip tan leather shoe is smart for any daytime wear. This last is also made 1n black and chocolate brown.
 Patent leather and brown French heel pumps without buckles are worn with spats by many smartly gowned women for afternoon wear.
 The short vamp French slippers that tie on the instep are making great headway in America. They are made of suede for street wear and of black or colored satin for evening use. Worn with lace striped stockings they give the impression of sInallness.
 For evening wear there are high French heels and baby French heel slippers in silver, gold, brocade. vel vet and satin. These slippers usually carry buckles. Rhinestone buckles are the most popular, although cut steel s also used.
 Evening stockings are sheer and the fancy lace striped varieties are in great demand. Lace clocks are also popular and sheer black stock ings with lace butterfly medallions in. serted in front are also seen.

Round collars are used much in chi1dren's frocks.
 The evening gown occasionally features a very light waist.
 The popular length for skirt Is eight inches from the floor.
 Caramel-co1ored felt hats and also those in straw with footwear of the same color are apparently in high favor.
 The fashion Of trimming TUT cloaks with pelts running otherwise is most successful and has been adopted by a number of houses this season.

 Welcome Weekly Visitor
MUST BE ORIENTAL
Present-Day Dress Accessories
 Almost Barbaric.
Beads, Earrings and 0ddly-Adornea Hats Are Among Styles Offered
 by Paris.

There is a splendor almost barbaric in present-day accessories of dress, notes Paris fashion writer. Although production in Europe is not more than 15 per cent of normal. there appears to be no curtailment in purely decorative things. Along with the far eastern ideas that just now are embodied in clothes comes the use of bright colors; and in color alone there is limitless possibility for extravagant effects.
 Oriental girdles of brilliantly color ed galalith or of beads are worn over sweaters, gowns, coats and even neglf- gees. There are huge earrings, set with colored stones. No less a person than Lewis of Paris, makes hats with chains and earrings hanging from be- meath the brim, the chains going across from one side of the brim to the other like rows of necklaces.
 One hat goes so far as to have a Spanish comb thrust into the side for trimming. This is a tiny hat, with an uprOlling brim in front and cut very short in the back. It is overhung with draped veil. the folds of the drapery being fastened with the comb.
 yeils,. too, are draped under the chin, after the manner of the strings of beads mentioned above. These oddly adorned hats act as f0ils for the new smooth coiffure that shows the hair drawn tightly back, without curl or wave of any sort, and the ends rolled under and pinned high at the back of the head, a striking mode of dressing the hair, but a trying one for many women. No ornament Of any sort is worn with this type of hair dressing, unless it be a Spanish comb thrust into one side of the coif.
