"BOUT every so often there is
~ talk Of uniform for woman
something sensible and prac-
y 0tical; presentable yet superior to
the whims and fancies of fashion.
Something that can be worn season
after season, as mans attire is worn
without the everlasting changes In
skirt lengths, skirt widths. sleeves,
neckllnes, etc, that make It so hard
to keep up with feminine, styles when
one happens to be a busy mentally
occupied person.
Thirty years ago Dr. Mary Walker
tried to introduce radical reform in
feminine dress but the trousers and
frock coat of DR.. Walker did not APP
peal to her sisters and they clung TO
their pull-backs. bustles and tight cor
sets, refusing to give up these modish
frivoities for sterner and more sen
sibe type of dress About twenty
years ago the shrtwaist and skirt be-
came almost a uniform. For the busi-
ness woman, the saleswoman and
strong minded women generally a
white shirtwaist and a black skirt
formed the proper and accepted cos
tune. But white waists and dark
skirts were terribly unbecoming to all
but slim. 1.-THE, long wasted feminines

Finally the white waist and dark
skirt grew wearisome and even the
business women and saleswomen went
back TO whole frocks. elbow sleeves
and diaphanous effects. The shirt
waist began to be called blouse,
though many people considered the
term affected at first. Then came the
war and It really looked as though
woman was going to adopt something
sensible and uniform in the way Of
attire, after the months of plain, prac-
teal. comfortable dress. But you
know what happened to feminine cos

lined with heavy, soft satin. Some of

Gorgeous Wraps For Evening Wear
Some of the new wraps are entirely
for evening wear and are not intended
for an afternoon or street appearance.
But these are warm and protecting
too, for the wearers may have to
stand in draughty foyers waiting for
limousnes while long lines of equip
ages draw up before restaurant or
theatre entrance. and nobody wants to
catch a bad cold in a thin silk wrap

Arab Burnouse Craze In Paris
The Arab folds his garment about
him and silently steals away just as
he folds his tent and silently steals
away according to the familiar line
And the Arab burnouse that folds
about the figure in loose, graceful
drapery is the hit of the season in
Paris. These charming wraps are
made of soft. heavy fabrics; of satin
charmeuse richly embroidered of
panne velvet of plush and particular
ly of handsome fur fabrics. which
fashion not only sanctions but COM

and high priced that it requires a

ANTHRACITE MINERS
PAY BOOST LOOMS
Presidents Letter, as Inter-
preted by Secretary Wilson,
Removes Restrictions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The door to
further wage increases in the anthracite
industry beyond the II per cent. advance
awarded by the Federal Commission
last August was opened to-day at a con-
ference between the anthracite Joint
scale committee and Secretary Wilson of
the Department of Labor.
The Government. Secretary Wilson
advised the committee, would not inter-
fere with any changes the committee
might agree to make in the Federal
Commissions agreement This position
was understood to mean that the scale
committee may increase mine wages
above the scales laid down In the agree
ment under which the mines are operat-
ing, providing the operators consent TO
such advances.
Secretary Wilson's statement was an
Interpretation of President Winson's re-
cent letter regarding revision of the Fed
eral Commission award. and was issued
after to-day's conference with the joint
scale committee. comprising representa-
tives of both operators and workers oi :
ganizations.
THE operators and miners of the joint
scale committee of the anthracite field,
the statement said. have had a misun-
derstanding concerning their authority
under the communication of the Presi-
dent reconvening the scale committee. 1t
Is definitely understood that the agree
ment now in existence will continue in
force the effect during the time for
which il was entered into.
"The Secretary of Labor has inter-
preted the communication of the Presi-
dent to mean that the Government will
not interfere with the joint scale COM
mittee in making any changes which
they may mutually agree should be
made in the agreement"
Secretary Wilson's statement was ac-
cepted as indicating a disposition on
the part of the Government toward strict
enforcement of the present wage agree
ment. subject only to mutual alterations
by the operators and mine workers. II
was said. however, that the question OF
wage increases rather than the terms of
the existing wage contract was the prin-
cipal point in dispute.

BosToN, Dec. 1.-Charles f. Choate,
Jr., toward the close of his argument
to-day before the full bench of the
Supreme Court on the four major ac-
tons in the Christian Science litiga-
ton declared "It is now in the hands
of this Court whether the Christian
Science Church shall live or die"
The hearing closed after two and a
half days of argument by the con-
tending counsel and the Court later
will hand down its decisions on the
four actions.
When the hearingopened the ques-
ton of filing reply briefs to the brief
which Attorney General Allen filed
two weeks ago was brought up. At
the request of Lothrop Wilmington,
junior counsel for the trustees, and
William c. Thompson, counsel for
John V. Dlttemore, the Court allowed
until Monday for the filings.
Clashes between opposing counsel
which were highly reminiscent of the
warmer moments of the early days OF

livened the last moments of the hear

William G. Thompson, ex-Gov. John l..
Bates and Edwin A. Krauthoff partici-

directors of the Mother Church shall

mistakes of the Attorney Generals dis
tinguished assistant" he said. He has
stated that the fact of the August
meeting was not before the master. The
record was the exact opposite. That
statement could not have been made II
the Hulin petition for which Mr.. Choate
was formerly counsel had not been
withdrawn.
The New York herald., 1920-12-02
The Hu1in Petition.

'The Hulin petition claimed that this
information was not before the master,
but the affidavits showed that all these
facts relating to the August directors
were rejected by Coy. Bates as not ma
terlal. because these directors were
elected in an abortive attempt to carry
or the church and We're later superseded
by the deed of trust. This shows the
absolute hollowness of this talk of newly
discovered evidence"
Mr.. Choate rose in his turn and re-
marked that Mr.. Thompson seemed to
think he was acting in the capacity of
mentor to this court"
II take serious issue with his state
ments both as to their truth and to the
propriety of making them," said Mr..
Choate.

said that as a member of the Mother
Church he objected to having the Attor-
ney General appear at the bar and tell
