VEIL THE TARNISHED LACE
Beautiful Effects May BE Gained;
Two Fabrics May Be AttractiveIy
Used Together.

just because it is impossible to re-
store furnished gold or silver lace to
it's original glistening brightness, do
not despair, for really beautiful eff
fects may be gained by yelling the tar
nished lace with geOrgette crepe, fine
net, gauze, chiffon, or tulle. If de-
sired, two of the yelling fabrics may
be used together.
Experiment with various samples
and you will easily discover just the
combination you wish.
Tarnished silver lace yelled in pale
rose or blue chiffon that is in turn
yelled in smoke gray or taupe gauze
may be fashioned into an exquisite
costume blouse to accompany a taupe
or gray suit. Or the dull lace may be
yelled in black geOrgette crepe to give
a rich effect.
OF course, very light colored veil
ing cannot be used alone over such
lace, but must be yelled with a darker
shade to keep the foundation lace from
appearing dingy.
Tarnished gold lace wells look espe-
ciaIly well in clear dark blue, though
cinnamon or woods brown gives an
equally pleasing effect, and purple Of
fers possibilities.

GOWNS DO CLING
Paris Evening Attire Has Narrow
Fish Tail Train.
Some skirts Are Transparent and
Worn Over Short and Rather
Tight Slips.

Some Of the Partisan designers,
writes Paris correspondent, are maxi
ing evening gowns which cling to the
form, giving something Of mermaid
aspect, for in nearly all cases the eve
ming gowns Of today show narrow
trains of fish-tail design.
In some cases these skirts are trans
parent and worn over short and rath-
er tight slips made of silver or alum
mum tissues. For young girls who go
in great deal for dancing, these lat
est models are ideal.
They are so quaint and vet so very
becoming. One might suppose that
1.-The hoops, which are made of giIded
or sllvered wire, would interfere with
ones comfort when dancing, but not
at all. They are so clevePly arranged
that they are almost fiat front and
back, while they jut out at either side.
In fact, the hips are oval instead of
being round. But then these are dance
frocks for young girls. They look RI
diculous on women who have left their
youth behind.
For the latter-and am not speak
ing of elderly women, only of those
who are no longer in the "bud'' stage
we have ideal evening dresses which
are bunchy at the sides without being
distinctly hoped.
Almost all the best of these models
have remarkably plain corsages. This
is an important note of the present
season.
The skirt of this dress is almost
ankle-length. almost, but not quite. "
This is the latest idea in the rue de

Fewer Workers in Aunust.

The average decrease in the num-
Der of workers reported for all
branches of manufacturing from July
to August was only 2 per cent, accord
ing to the report of the New York
state industrial commission. The re-
port summarizes returns from 1850
factories employing more than $4,000
persons. Depressed conditions in some
lines of business affected several
branches of the metal industries.
Heavy reductions in the working
forces of prominent manufacturers of
automobiles occurred.

NEW POLICY ON LABOR LAW
New York State industrial Commits.
sion Will Seek the Cooperation
Of Employers.

The New York state Industrial COM
mission announced from Albany that
on the recommendation Of Bernard L.
Shientag, its chief counsel. it has de-
cided to experiment with a plan to
obtain a more hearty cooperation
from employers In the enforcement
Of the labor law. Under this plan.
when on employer is charged with vio-
lation of the labor Jaw, he will be
summoned to appear before the com
mission and show cause why he should
not be prosecuted. At the outset this
plan will be limited to minor viola
lions.
"This," Mr.. Shientag announced, will
bring employers into personal touch
with the members of the commits
sion and secure better under
standing and respect for the law. 1t
will do away with the necessity for
prosecution in the magistrates courts
in many cases of minor violations
which have heretofore resulted in a
large number of suspended sentences.
"The aim of the commission is to
secure compliance with the law
through voluntary action of employers
whenever possible, and better results
will be obtained along these lines If
the commission itself takes up first Of
Tense violations and explains to en-
plOyers directly the necessity of COM
plying with the law and the conse-
quences of subsequent violation. This
procedure on the part of the commits
sion is bound to result in fewer sus-
pended sentences when the commits
sion finds that it is obliged to take
employers into court"

WINTER CLOTHES FOR TOTS
VeIVeteen and sroadcIoth, Plainly
Made, Promise to Be Among
Popular Fabrics.

Velveteen is to play an important
part in the development of next win
ter dresses for little girls. These are
always made on very straight, simple
lines. The majority of those seen SO
far are finished with plain satin or Ro-
man striped ribbon sashes.
For children Of six years or younger
very fine brOadcloth appears to be the
favorite coat fabric FOR the coming sea-
son. Some of the garments brought
out have interlining, for greater
warmth. but the weight of the coat re-
quired depends entirely on the climate.
Pushes and imitation furs serve as
very effective II innings on many little
coats. The mother who tackles the
job of making her little daughters
winter wrap may make a muff and
bonnet or hat to match.

REFUSE WAGE
 REQUEST OF
 BOSTON MEN
Orchestra Increase Would Involve Sum Of
 $2O0,OOO

Boston, Feb. 1S.---Players of the Boston Symphony Orchestra have made a joint request for increased wages and have taken steps toward joining the Musicians Union. The wage request, involving an annual advance of approximately $10O 900, has been refused.
 Judge Frederic P. Cabot, chairman of the board of trustees of the orches- tra, said today that the question of union membership was not an issue between players and management, a1- though recognition of a union had been refused because union leaders said they would claim the right to say who should play with the orchestra and under what conditions.
 The question of more wages was submitted in a letter and was based on the plea that the players present compensation is inadequate because
 of increased living costs.
 Fudge Cabot said the number who
 Joined in the request was large,
 possibly as many as 80. At a meeting
 of the orchestra subsequently,, he told the players that no funds were avail able for the $10o,OOO advance neces-
 sary to meet their request. The orchestra has approximately S1O0,oOO to draw upon and it's oper- ating expenditure is upwards of ESQ., | 900 yearly.
 settlement on an individual basis will be made in some cases with mod 1 crate increases, but any substantial 1 advance is out of the question witt our limited resources" Judge Cabot l said.

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 1S-Socialists in the United States are not Bol- shevists, but social democrats of the
 Marxian school, declared Morris Hill quit, Socialist leader, testifying today at the trial before the Assembly Judi ciary committee of the five suspend ed Socialist assemblymen charged with disloyalty.
 In connection with the charge that American Socialists sought by revo- lution to impose the Soviet system on the United States, MT. Hillquit as-
 serted that to say the Soviet system
 would be appropriate in this country, so much more highly developed than
 Russia, would be 'infantile." Differentiating between Soviet "a
 institution of government the Bo1- shevist party, "a party as the name implies and the third (Moscow) In ternationaI, ''at the present time very much an idea,' MT. Hillquit declared American Socialists had expressed
 sympathy with Soviet Russia because 1 ca great social experiment, neither perfect nor complete,' was being worked out there.
 1 They favored the Bolshevist party because it's members were directing l this experiment, he said, but it was
 not for American Socialists of a diff 1 ferent school to pass judgment upon i the Bolshevist philosophy.

M. DESCHANEL
 INAUGURATED
 AS PRESIDENT

Paris Feb. 1S-PauI Deschanel today became tenth president of the French republic, succeeding Raymond Poincare, who laid aside the robes of office after one of the most critical periods in the history of the country. The formal transfer from the old to the new regime occurred at the Pal ace of the E1ysee this afternoon.
 The inauguration of the French president is a formal ceremony, ar engagements for which are made long in advance of the event. Prece- dents having historic approval are closely followed and the number per mitted to witness the transfer of au- thority is limited to the presidents of the senate and the chamber of depu- ties, committees from each house and members of the cabinet
 Among the early arrivals at the pal ace in preparation for the ceremonies were President RaouI Peret of the Chamber of Deputies and his col leagues from the lower house, who were closely followed by Leon Bour- geois, President of the Senate, and officials of that body delegated to at tend the inauguration.
 In carrying out the preliminary de- tails of the program Premier Miller- and, shortly before the hour set for the ceremony, drove to the Palais Bourbon where, as president of the chamber, M Deschanel has main tained his residence, and called for the president-elect.
 Entering a state carriage and es- corted by a regiment of cuirassers and preceded by a flag bearer, they drove to the palace where the cere- mo0y was to take place.
 While the crowds massed along the route on both banks of the Seine were cheering M ~Deschanel as he passed with his escort. the members of the cabinet and the officials of the Senate and the Chamber assembled around M. Poincare in the palace to greet the new president.
