MAY MAKE YOUR OWN SCARF
Accessory Is Worn Now az It Has Not
Been for Many Seasons
Past.

We have gone back to the day of the
scarf. At least, we are living in a
day of scarfs, call 1t going backward
or forward, as you like. The scarf is
worn now as 1t has not been for many
seasons.
1t Is quite possible to make many
OF the lovely scarfs yourself. To be-
gin with, there are serviceable scarfs
OF tricotine. This fabric comes woven
IN tubular fashion, and one buys a
yard and half or two yards Of It.

them and fastening them together, or
else fastening the raw edges under
and then tying the ends of the scarf
with homemade fringe. made with
heavy silk floss matching the color
Of the scarf.
Then there are scarfs Of georgette
crepe, embroidered with beads OF
spangles. You can stamp these scarfs
yourself with a suitable design, and
then sew the beads or spangles In
place without too much trouble, and
you work carefully, with surely
good results.
The tied and dyed scarf Is arothel
homemade possibility. To make this
perhaps the best material Is tan
colored fabric, either crepe de chine Of
pongee. The idea Is to dye the endi
OF the scarf another color. The de
Sign remains the color of the founda

To get the design, one ties thu

FASHION FkDS AND FANClES

AS the fall season progresses, 1t Ia
predicted that the yard yelling will
be used more and more.
The collars of the new suits are
high and small, and in many cases are
made simply of band Of fur.
The leading fabrics for coats and
suits are duvetyn, velours, bOlivias and
number of new wool fabrics in pile
effect.
Belts and pockets in the new suits
are conspicuous by their absence.
Where pockets are present they are
mere Sits with no trimming whatever.
Veilings will hold an important place
in millinery fashions, especially in the
fall season. Exquisite lace wells will
be revived and in many cases they Will
be used for the entire ornamentation
of the hat.
In many of the more elaborate
draped wells, embroideries in metal
and rich colors will be popular. French
blue, henna, jade, heliOtrope and or
ange are some Of the unusual shades
which will be featured.
Satin is the fav0rite among silks for
afternoon wear. One very chic model
of black satin has short sleeves with
deep cuffs Of plated red geOrgette
The bodice is plain and the skirt puffs
over n narrow straight underdress.
Separate skirts follow the tenden.
cies of the dress skirts as usual, name
ly, long overskirts, loose panels and
all-around tunics, triple-tier skirts and
plated flounce effects. Accordion
plating is frequently used for flounces
but an entirely plated skirt is rarely
found.
New fall gloves are of varied
lengths to suit the different length
sleeves now In vogue. For suits ant
| long sleeved dresses wrist-lengtt
gloves, those with straps about the
wrist, and the eight-button length are
used. The vogue for the three-quartel
length sleeves makes the 16-button
length popular also.

HATS that DR00P

All Sorts Of Tricks Have Been Pressed

Advance models OF hats have now

ion authority. Whatever its angle may
be from another direction, whether II
be large or small or medium in size.
whether its materials be thick or thin,
II hugs the head in peculiarly charm
ing manner. Everything imaginable
has been done to help in this dropping
effect Besides the fundamental
shaping, all sorts of little tricks have
been resorted TON the use of the
trimming in the handling of the brim
to lower the lines.
The popular notion is that nothing
is changed this season. One reason Is
because the changes are so subtle and
retiring. A last years hat won't do at
all. 1t is stamped irretrievably as last
years, and yet one hardly knows why.
The tam is still with us. the draped
turban is still good. there are still
ostrich feathers falling over wide
brimmed chapeaux. And still every
thing is subtly different. 1t all lies
in the secrets of the millinery design
ers who create and design to puzzle
and allure-to make one open her
eyes to the fact that We must bow to
their superior art and that we cannot
pass off 1919 hat for 1920 one.

sides of these new hats Is one of the
points that add to the alluring quality

There was no election by the French
people. A caucus of senators and dep
uties nominated Millerand. Members
OF parliament went to the ancient
chateau at Versailles and chose Mil
lerand eleventh President Of the re-
public. He received sos votes out of
total Of S72. The complete vote was !:
Alexandra Millerand, sos; Gustave De-
10y, Socialist deputy from Lille, De-
partment du N'ord, 60; scattering, 90;
blank, 1OS.
Those members who cast their votes
for Deloy, the socialist, were the Uni
fed Socialists. Millerand had inflict-
ed upon the Socialists long series of
disappointments, from the time he had
been the first Socialist to accept a
portfolio in bourgeois ministry, away
back in 1899, until the other day, when
he had vehemently denounced their
lOng-nursed experiment in soviet Rus
STA.
These Socialists protested to fear
the result of larger responsibilities
projected by Millerand." Anyway, d.
rect representation of all classes of
society and the vesting Of executive
powers in the President of the republic
are the salient features in President
Millerand's plan to revise the French
constitution, which is evoking a storm
of controversy in France.
Politics" said Millerand, in re-
cent speech, ARE danger to the ma
ton placed as they are, without check
or hindrance. Parliament today does
not represent the people of France
but merely the great political inter
ests. The President Of the republic
has no actual power, neither has tn,
senate.
To remedy this state of affairs Mil
lerand proposes the wholesale re
modelling of the constitution. The prin
| cipal points Of his proposals are:
l. The President of the republic t,
became President in fact as well a.
in name; to be accorded powers sim
| liar to those held by the President o
the United States.
2. A vice presidency to be create'
with functions modelled after those o
the same Office in America.
| 3. The election Of the President an
vice president to be effected. instea
of by the senate, by national con
vention, delegates to which shall com
from every department Of France
from both houses Of parliament, fror
each one Of the great corporations
from the principal labor unions, fror
the unions of small proprietors, fror
the great artistic, musical and literar
societies, each Of which Is to have on
vote.
4. Senators. instead of being al
pointed by the different political pal
ties in each department, would b
elected by each Of the above mer
toned societies and unions, from tn

1t here. He was born In Paris February
10, 1859, and was educated for the bar.
He has served in several cabinet po-
sitions, notably rs minister Of public
works In the BRAND ministry in 1900
minister of war in the Poincare cabi-
net Of 1912. and as minister Of war
in the Viviani ministry until the vi
viani cabinet resigned October %, 1915.
While the peace with Germany was
being made, President Poincare, in
March, 1919, appointed Millerand gov
ernor Of Alsace-Lorraine, Frances re-
gained provinces, and he served in this
position until at the request of Pres
ident Poincare in January last he &C
cepted the task of forming new cab
met, in which he took the premiership
and ministry of foreign affairs, sue
ceeding Clemenceau.
Twenty-Five years ago Millerand ex-
pressed the ambition to become pre-
mier of France and President of the
republic. Ten years later he was ex-
PEELED from the branch Of the Social
list party that had been electing him
to the chamber Of deputies for Is
years, and in another five years he
! was officially expelled from the So
cialist party of France. Five years
ago, when minister of war, he was one
Of the chief causes contributing to the
downfall Of the Viviani cabinet. MIL
lerand was so deep in disgrace and
humiliation that it did not seem pos
sible he could ever emerge.
! But when the war was won France
wanted "bullheaded" man to rule
the recovered provinces of Alsace and
Lorraine, and Millerand was chosen
for the post. Last January he was
recalled to Paris to be premier-the
first Of his ambitions accomplished.
And as premier 1t was once more
his bullheadedness, the very quality
that caused his deep humiliation In
1915, that brought him the enthusiastic
support Of the French nation.
He insisted stubbornly and passion
ately that peace should bring France
the fruits of victory Lloyd George
could not wheedle him; Wilson coult
not drive him; Giolitti could not bluff
him and Lenine and Trotzky could no
scare him. So, when Deschanel wal
forced to resign the presidency, Mil
lerand was triumphantly elected Pres
ident Of the republic, and the secont
of his ambitions was realized.
"Down with dictatorship shouted
the Socialist Deputy Upry, as he cas-
his vote against Millerand in the bal
lOting for President.
1t looks as If President Alexandr'
Millerand of France has prepared
program that will either eliminate hin
from public life or make him Pres
ident with large powers.

the part under the cotton cloths does
not dye. Then one dips the whole
end into the dye, not leaving 1t very
long, and not, of course, boiling it.
You see, If you crumple the scarf
together and tie two rags around the
end, two inches apart, and then dip
1t. you will have two parallel stripes,
with irregular edges. You can get a
most interesting circle effect by pull
ing up a bit Of the scarf and tying a
rag around 1t a couple of inches
down. OF course. you must tie all the
places ut once.

ranks of the professions and by the
general confederation Of labor.
8. Decentralization and cooperation
in all government departments.
Such reform would go to the very
roots of the French constitution and.
by turning the President into an active
chief executive, practically bestOw up
on him dictatorial powers for his term
Of seven years, and thereby remove
all parliamentary checks on those ac-
tivities which are now exercised by
the premier or president Of the council.
In France, under the present consti-
tuition, the President Is not in our
sense Of the word a president; he is
sort o. elected figurehead, serving
for seven years, while the powers and
| duties involved in actually ruling be-
long mainly to the premier. An Orna-
mental figure and little else, the
French President lives shOwily in a
palace, entertains visiting sovereigns.
| Nor is there a French constitution
in the sense in which We use that term
in America That Is to say there is no
single document adopted in its entirety
as the basic or organic law Of the re-
public. The French constitution con-
sists of a series of parliamentary en-
actments passed under the stress Of
other emergencies. AS matter Of
fact the French constitution contains
no professions of principles, no dec
larations Of humanitarianism. The
French constitution Is as direct and
as Unconditional as a bank prospectus.
There is nothing in France that cor
responds with our spOils system, nor
indeed is there anything that CORE
spends with our party system. Par
ties there certainly are in the French
parliament, but they are numerous
and loosely knit. They are always IL
able to break up and to form new com.
binations. The absence of definite
parties in France means that the life
of the government is always in danger
through some sudden and new coali
ton of the many unstable groups
There may be three or four govern
ments in as many months, the Presi
dent trying always to 'send for" thai
particular statesman whose chance Of
forming stable cabinet seems to bt
the best.
President Millerand has appointed
, as his first Premier Georges Leygue!
! and has given Premier Leagues {
ready-made cabinet. The xeason fo
{ the appointment is obvious. Presiden
Millerand first offered the appointment
l to four other men, any one o
f whom would possibly have mad
stronger premier. But, any ont
I of the other four would hav,
/ insisted on being premier in &C

e tutonal practice Of the country. Ley
