 New York, Nov. i2.-Some of the most fetching tailored suits are those that involve two or more materials, yet keep to very long, clearly defined lines as, witness, this original model by a New York designer.
 It is three-piece costume. The skirt as far as the hip line is of deep pile 1ava-toned velvet, with satin of the same shade continuing into a tail ored blouse that is trimmed with sputache in the same design as shown on the coat. Then the coat, three quarter length, carries out the same idea with the velvet introduced in two panels, the foundation of a lighter duvetyn and the black soutache lines with banding and collar of fur form ing the decoration.
 The sleeves are three-quarter length and not quite so snug-ftting as in some of the models.

OPPOSED TO TREATY
Marquis Okuna Condemns Plan of Americans to Exclude Japanese From This Country.

Americans to Exclude Japanese
 From This Country.
 Tokio, Nov. Is, (By Associated Press) ).-Marquis Okuma, former Japanese premier. addressing a meet ing today, strongly attacked the plan to exclude Japanese from America by treaty. He said the present effort to make restriction statutory, was an act of infidelity to Japanese-Ameri- can friendship.
 The former premier believed Wash ington would be able to stop Califor- nian measures by enlisting public opinion of the whole country. If Ja- pans appeals to Americas sense of international morality failed, the speaker continued, only force re- mained. Japan sincerely desired a solution of the problem, he concluded, fearing that otherwise the question would lead up to an outburst of self sacrificing patriotism for which the Japanese people arc noted.
