VEIL CHANGES FOR MILADY
Face Covering Lends Note of Person. ality and Distinction-Adds Com
 pieteness to Outfit.

When an attractively groomed wom- an adjusts her smart-looking little hat at certain angle and fastens over 1t one of the clever new spring veils the effect is ravishing
 Personality and the final note of dis tinction may be expressed in the mere cobwebby substance of the veil. It adds completeness to the simple tailleur and street dress.
 After strenuous day of shopping the woman whose small street hat is snugly yelled returns home as neat and trim looking as when she left.
 It is generally understood that the street veil is not appropriate in the evening. More and more, however, the American woman is appearing at the restaurant and theater in her severely tailored suit or gown, with her close fitting toque nicely yelled. And she harbors no Qualms as to being cor rectly dressed.
 In fact, the latest fashions are show ing the more elaborate hats with veils. For instance a charming wrought ere alton of black tulle and silver lace ap- peared in box at the theater.
 The fair spectator watched the play from behind a thin tulle veil, which was extended from the crown of the hat, just beneath the nose-much as the oriental lady is yelled. And, by the way, there is decidedly oriental touch to the hats shown this season. Hardly a tulle hat is shown without the drOD of tJlle at least over the eyes.
 Another gay little model hat was seen in one of the smart shops of inter- woven ribbons of blue, gold and brown, against horsehair brim which is satin threaded in gold squares. There is a gold ribbon around the brim and from this a short brown tulle veil is extended.
 hat of black horsehair with low crown banded in black satin ribbon. tilts at the back, and droops under a beige lace veil.
 Many of the new veils are edged prettily and hang loose and full. Some are close fitting over the face and long and flowing down the back In fact there is a style of veil for every face; heavy figures, French dotted and ex- quisitely fine meshed vefls are equally attractive in the new spring collection.

 types of feminine beauty or non beauty. Women will insist that they cannot wear the style, that it is not becoming to their type, and finally, when they do stop struggling and ac- cept the fashion as it stands, they find that they really look extremely we'll they surprise themselves. And then, when they come to analyze the situ- ation, they discover that they have been refusing to accept the change merely because it is new and that they never really have given it chance to prove whether it is becom- ing. This happens as often as drastic changes are introduced in fashion, and time and again women have worn the thing that they announced to begin with they could never countenance. It bids fair to be the case of the sleeve, and those who are looking toward that shining vista, economy of mate rial, will welcome the shorter length.
 A French designer has announced emphatically that the long waist is the line especially adapted to the American figure Some one Is heard to murmur: What is this American.

figure that the French love so to prat tie about?" We'll i% is not as yet the French figure, which is allowed to be as plump as it pleases, wherever II pleases. We still lean to straight lines in this country, and the figure which is not built along these lines may be corrected to the state where it seems to be. It is for such a figure that the French artist of renown des- fgnates the long-waisted models. And you have only to observe them on straight, more or less flat figures to see how really beautifully they are adapted to the contour. Callot is do- ing the long ~aisted dress to perfec- ton. She has sent over many love iy models. The skirts are full or plaited, and while often they are made with tighter underskirts, many of them leave the fullness of the skirt to be the only line below the dropped waist.
 Lonq-Waist Model.
 For instance, there is one model from this renowned house made of gray satin, with a full skirt falling over a tighter skirt of black satin. The straight, long, flat bodice is en- broidered in gray in an all-over pat tern of large design, has wide cuffs of black satin on the very much abbre-

STYLES TO HOLD FOR SEASON
Salient Features of Spring Clothes of Marked Interest to Women Who Seek to Wear Latest
 Creations.

Short skirts, long waists, short sleeves-these are the salient features of the spring mode as it becomes es- tablished by usage from day to day. In one of the windows on Fifth ave nue during the past gala week. writes a New York fashion correspondent, there were exhibited two gowns pre- sumably for the street, but they were abbreviated and diaphanous in the ex-' treme-so much so that one uninfti- ated in the change in fashions could. not have been expected to recognize them as street garments.
 Two women stood before them, re garding their shortnesses and thin nesses with awe.
 Don't you suppose they've made mistaken said one; surely those dresses are meant for evening wear. Why, look at the sleeves and the low cut necks I'
 Yet the figures on which they were draped were wearing hats and gloves. It wasn't mistake by any means, and the observer was destined to meet more and more of the same sort in her jaunt. about the city. For they are appearing In greater numbers every day. There is a decided acceptance of all of the short cuts which not long ago seemed not ordained to be favor ites of American women.
 There is no denying the fact that the short skirts are pretty and, in most cases, becoming. They give proportion to the dresses of the hour that could not be nearly so good were the skirts allowed to be any longer. Every once in a while, along the thor oughfares where well-dressed women are wont to make their appearance, one sees astonfshingly beautiful street clothes with skirts so short that they are nearer the knees than the ankles. The short skirt, without distinguishing feature Of feminine ap- parel for 1920.
 Long Sleeves Scare.
 The shorter sleeves are not so readily taken up by some women gen. erally, though the longer ones are al- most impossible to find in the shops. They are not ''the thing" at all. One might as well accept short sleeves or no sleeves, for they seem as inevitable as the high cost<of living. A special design is the only way around the idea that sleeves shall not end an inch or so below the arm pits. And special designs these days are confined to the few. The rest of us must accept the dictates of fashion as they stand and decide to glory in them.
 After all, the short sleeve is much like the collarless gown when 1t comes to applying it to the various

 yiated sleeves. Another design from the same house is made for dinner wear. It has cream satin draped over skirt, and the rather low and pointed neckline is edged with wide beaded bands of gold and pearl-beaded em- broidery. A long waisted model for afternoon wear has a Chinese brocade waist and lower panel of the skirt made over a foundation of black satin. Then there is fuller skirt of navy blue serge, draped from a low waistline and allowed to hang. over with an uneven hem, one side being very much longer than the other and pointed where the draping meets.
 Paquin has made some successful long-waisted models, as have Made leine ct Madeleine, Jenny, and Lan- win. Most of the other designers also have done things with long g-waisted effects, but these are the ones which accent the idea especially for the American women whose figures they say they have studied with a real idea of providing gowns peculiarly suitable for them.
 Around about New York the serge dress as yet holds sway. This and the suit of serge are the only new things, on account of the weather, which have had the least chance to show themselves. In the restaurants at lunch time, when coats are laid aside, one sometimes glimpses a gown of taffeta, which material bids fair to gain more popularity than has been accorded to any one fabric for many seasons past.
 Most Desired Fabric
 At night, for dinner and dancing, taffeta has made it's appearance as the most desired fabric; the evening gown is rare that does not have taf- feta used in it's making in one way or another. Sometimes tulle or chiffon holds the place of honor, but upon examination taffeta is found to be the foundation material, for the particular standing-out quality is the thing that Is absolutely necessary to the modern ist of evening adornment. Taffeta has that lovely texture which makes it stand out, but at the same time it falls in pleasant folds. Especially the newer taffetas have been refined fn weaving until they are perfect.
 Tn Paris the rage for taffeta goes on. Even after the openings were over, the designers kept on and on making new things from the lovely material. Two models, one for after noon and one for evening. each made with taffeta for the foundation mate rial. are worth noting. One is draped almost entirely in tul1e, and the other is embroidered heavily: either serves as model for American limitations or American authentic copies. The aft ernoon frock is combined with organ die, and this strange combination Of materials (silk and cotton) has taken fast hold on the designers here about One sees it in combinations of black taffeta and cream organdie, of blue taffeta and white organdie.

ADJUSTMENTS
@eTHE MAN WHO CAME BACK"
 COMING TO JEFFERSON
By EsTELLE BETHEA HAL

Provided you were a successful Broadway playwright, what do you suppose your ambition would be, pros vided, with royalties pouring in, that you still had ambition? Jules Eckert Goodman confesses that his is to write la play of country life, real country life, not as it is usually pictured on our stages. but as it actually is lived in places wEeie even one night stand troupes cannot penetrate. In other words, he wants to get just as far away from Broadway as possible ar least once in his writing. Such IS The hearts desire of the author of "The Man Who Came Back one of tho reigning successes of the American stage and coming to the Jefferson theatre for four performances, com- mencing Thursday, Friday and Satur- day, with special matinee Saturday.
 He was moved to confess his desire to write country play after he had seen one of the current offerings on Broad way. It had country scenes in it, the kind of scenes that we have seen on the stage as long as we can remember. And MT. Goodman, bit peeved at the false picture they gave of rural exis- tence as he knew it. promptly said, ''Tll write country play myself"
 What does he know about the :oun- try. this man who writes Broadway dramas? Listen. He was born there. Oregon was the state, to be exact, and Jervis the town, to be even more exact. It is rural, indeed, rural with a vengeance. That is why MT. Gooc- man wants to write about it.''

BIG TIME VAUDEVILLE
 AT LOEW'S BIJOU THEATRE

The bill at Loew's Bijou for the first half .lof the week is one that will be keenly appreciated by the theatregoer. Every act on the programme is regular big time vaudeville.
 Browns dogs and toy canines ap- bearing in an act that is called "an unusual display of intelligence" opened the vaudeville bill. The dozen or more four-footed artists stage many unusual feats.
 Manners and Loweriff appeared in an act called Song FIirtations," in which they offered many new dance steps and some very clever melodies. They proved to be one of the most original comedy couples seen at Loew's in a long time.
 'The Travelling Man." an act in which two women and man appear, proved to be something above ordinary.
 Charles Reilly, who styles himself ''The Singing lester" goes through with singing act in admirable style. The jokes he pulled were all new and original
 "The Love Tangle," a musical com edy of the better kind, closed the vaud- eville offering. Two men and two wo- men appear in the act in an exchange of witty sayings and clever songs that were highly appreciated. They had to respond to several encores.

Republicans Deliberately
 Using Many FalSehoods
By AssOciated Press

Akron, Ohio. October 25.-Repubiicans are using. deliberate falsehoods and mis- interpretations of the League of Nations covenant as "a political vehicle in which to carry Warren G. Harding to the White House." Senator Gilbert Hitchcock of Nebraska charged in an address here today.
 Article x of the league covenant will inevitably preserve peace and will not lead to war as charged by the repubi- cans,'' Senator Hitchcock declared. ''We in America have been living under Arti- cle x for ninety-seven years, for the original Article Ten was promulgated by President Monroe in 1923 in his message warning European nations that if any of them undertook to establish their sys- tenn on the western hemisphere America would regard it as an unfriendly act.

BOURGEO|SE SEES LITTLE ID ARTICLE X
 LEAGUE COVENANT
BS- Associated Press

Brussels, october 25.-Leon Bour- geoise, president of the council of the League of Nations, gave his views to American newspaper correspondents last night on Article x of the covenant of the League of Nations. Today the following authorized statement regard ing the interview was issued through M. Comert, the principal press official of the League of Nations, who had originally arranged the interview:
 ~M. Bourgeoise to the American correspondents said he had been as- tonished to see the political discus sions in America concentrated around Article x of the covenant
 Article x is not in fact anything more than the moral foundation of the covenant. All that is efficacious in the covenant is set forth in other articles indicating penalties and sanctions
 M. Bourgeois in the course of his statement to the correspondents Sun day night said that Article x could be eliminated without in any way modifying the effectiveness of the League of Nations and declared also that it was not considered so impor- ta.nt by Europeans as Americans.
 At the close of the interview and sSter M Bourgeois had withdrawn, the <ruestion was raised among the Ameri- can correspondents as to the effect of his utterapces on the presidential cleo tson in the United States. It was there upon agreed to withhold the state- ment rntii M Bourgeois could review it in this light and giue his authority for fts publication.

TenMars
 His Years

Doesn't it make you feel good-cause you to straight en up and feel "chesty"- when someone guesses your age at ten ars or so younger than you really are? You look into your mirror, smile with satisfac- tion and say to yourself: Well, he didn't make such a bad guess, at that"
 The point is: You're no older than your vitality.
 If a man is strong, vigor- ous, mentally alert, fine and fit at 50 he has a better chance of living up to 80 than a man of 30. who is weak and rundown has of living up to 60. While none of us can stay the years nor stop time, we should all make an heroic effort to suc- cessfully resist the effects of time by ever keeping our vitality at par.
 When you sense a feeling of slowing down of your physical forces-when your stomach, liver, kidneys and other organs show signs of weakness when you notice a lack of your old time "pep' and "punch"- in other words, when you feel your vitality is on the wane, you should com
