India Protests Rule of England

London, June 26.- AAdvices from many parts of India tell of the im- phessive observance of the "hartal," ;" or cessation of business, as a pro- test against the government policy toward India. At q gathering in Bombay it was declared in resolutions that this was the most serious situ- ation in the history of Inlia.
 At meeting held at different centers, Hindus, Moslcms, Parsees, Sunnis and Shias all joined in prayer and resolutions.
 In Bombay all Hindu, Moslem and Pa1sec shops were closed.
 The loss from this voluntary clos ing is estimated at millions of pounds sterling. The Bombay Chronicle stat ed: "Never before in the history of Bombay has such a complete ces- sation of work been recorded" The Advocate of India said: "It cannot be denied that the Khilafat question has been made national one in In- dia and the Moslems are receiving almost unanimous support from all sister communities"
 At conference held at Fyzabad resolution was passed proposing that the visit of the Prince of Wales be postponed until Moslem religious demands regarding the Khilafat were satisfied.

 More and more, the Thuringia teachers agreed, German myths and poetry should replace in the schools the old testament.
 "By no stretch of imagination, !" comments Germania, the organ of the Center (Catholic) party, "can this be called religious instruction. It is thoroughly in accord with the we'll known tendencies of radical teachers. Catholics must follow this movement with close attention, for it threatens to invade their own schools"

A MONG other good things turned

there were some new designs in taft

journey. But June brides can't have

finish the fiaring sleeves. But the
bands of stitching in herring-bone pat
tern that adorn the coat are even
more difficult to achieve and there
are groups of vertical lines above the
parallel rows at the hem. The coat
is set on small, plain yoke and has
narrow silk girdle covered with
stitching.
A detachable cape Of duvetyn lined
with machine-stitched taffeta is the
outstanding novelty in the suit. Tie
lining is of the same taffeta. A mar
row band fastens 1t about the neck
under the rolled-over taffeta collar.

makes the second suit. A braided pat

AN IMPORTANT fashion feature
is the introduction and quick

women is because they are so
thoroughly in keeping with the pleat-
ed skirt and the three-tier flounced
skirt. These Jackets are fitted about
the waist and have a flaring or full
skirt, the flare being at either side.
Vests are used quite extensively

flounces and pleats. In the
effort to make something new
they have reverted to many old
fashioned favorite methods Of garni-
ture. The successful use Of leaf
edge ruffles on taffeta dresses, first
launched by Lanvin, has led to quite
general acceptance Of this idea as an
important note in the February COL
lections. Just to what extent these
shaped ruffles will be accepted re-.
mains to be seen. For tho moment
it is sufficient to state that they are
being used.
The shapes Of these leaf and petal
founces are greatly varied, some be-
ing in very deep bands and others
in slightly rounded or blunt leaf
designs. An extremely old-fashioned
idea is the use Of rococo embroidery
at the edge Of these fantastically
cut founces- The impression is al
most that Of lamp-shade skirt but
with the stiffening omitted.
This style of embroidery, known as
Outrage des DANES or rococo ap-
plique ribbon and chenille relief
work, is so characteristic of lamp
shades and fancy boxes that one hes
itates to recommend It's acceptance
as a dress trimming. However, no
less important and tasteful a per-
son than Marie Antoinette was
pleased to adopt this very feminine
type Of embroidery on many Of her
costumes, now historically classified
as Style Marie Antoinette.
Nine. Pompadour
Lives in Fashion
M ME-. POMPADOUR also lent
her approval to this type of
decoration, and therefore this relief
embroidery is sometimes called
Pompadour. She affected it in COM
binations of pink and blue, just as
Marie Antoinette did, but in the
time of la Pompadour the colors of
these embroideries took her name
and that of Natter, the famous
painter, and were called Rose Pom
padour and Bleu Natter.
l have just seen one Of these leafy
ruffled dresses developed in the new
lightweight taffeta known as dia-
montine. 1t is jade green, with en-
broideries Of the dominating silver
tone. In addition to the ruffled skirt,
this modern model has also the old
fashioned bertha, developed in taf-
feta, with leaf scallops at the edge.
Along with the gathered and
shaped fiounce has come into prom !,
inence also the pleated flounce in cas-
cade form and in graduated tiers.
All sorts Of pleatings were used in
olden times, when dressmakers did
not go in 30 extensively for applied
decorations. 1t was not to save time
that this was used, for In those
days the pleating machines Of to-
day were unknown, and each pleat
was laid with the greatest care and
then pressed. There were, it is true,
all sorts Of complicated irons for
doing this work, and it was so diff
ficult to make some Of the most COM
plex pleatings that the work became
highly paid occupation.
In the days when the pleated ruff
was not only considered an extreme
mode but a necessity among those
who made any pretense to being
fashionably dressed, pleating and
starching were considered an art.

but now they are of the short over
blouse variety that quite eclipse all
others in hip fullness by having mar
row, futed ruff1es from the waistline
to the bottom of the blouse.
The tops as we'll as the bottoms of
blouses show evidence Of the de-
signer's efforts to produce new and
startling effects. Just why many
makers Of clothes are trying so hard
to launch the high collar nobody
knows. 1t is apparent, however, that
their efforts are not meeting any
marked degree Of success, probably
because women find the collarless
bodice so comfortable that thew are
unwilling to discard it for a high
f1aring collar which is uncomfortable
despite it's smartness.
Some of the new silk blouses have
pleated ruffs flaring about the ears
after the manner Of the wired COL

brought out early in the autumn.

The Knitted Dress
Sets Paris Agog
PARIS is mad over the knitted
dress, and knitting machines are
clacking in many garrets of the
city, turning out these dresses bv
the hundreds. The smart Parisienne
is buying them, first because thew
are the grand chic, then because
they are beautiful and BECOMING and
third because they are economical
and comfortable, thus putting the
brake on the high cost of living.
The Parisienne reasons. and
rightly, that she saves the making
OF her dress because the knitting Of
the silk or wool yarns into form ;s
practically the same thing as the
construction Of fabric. The dress
when it comes from the knittinu
machine, is practically made and, as
the French woman cleverly adds
"le facon coute rien" (the making
costs nothing). With the corsetless
