IN WINTER WRAPS
New Make of Charmeuse Is Being
Used in Paris.
Picturesque capes Remain In Lime
light and viii Continue in Favor,
Fashion Writer Says.

There are a good many charmeuse
wraps for winter wear. OF course
these models are warmly interlined, but
they look supple and clinging as an
elaborate evening mantle, writes a
fashion correspondent.
In Paris they are using a new make
Of charmeuse which has a wOolly back
and which Is wonderfully graceful
when arranged in long lines. 1t. is a
discOncertingly expensive material, but
1t wears spIendidly.
One cape model, immensely attrac-
tive and original, has large and very
important looking sleeves; in fact, so
long and flowing were these particular
sleeves that they gave a cape outline
to the garment.
A prominent maker is turning out
quite as many picturesque capes as
shaped wraps for winter.
One Of the latter is a clever mixture
of black crepe marocain and gray
duvetyn crossed with black lines The
upper part Of the cape is duvetyn and
there is deep hem, slightly gathered,
of black crepe.
The Follower collar is immense and
when the cape blows open it displays
q wonderful lining in which grass

Children in the Beet Fields.

Many Of the children employed in
the sugar-beet fields of Colorado are
OverwOrked and undereducated. The
Children's bureau Of the United States
Department of Labor has been inves-
tigating and reports finding no fewer
than 1,O77 children under sixteen
years Of age employed in beet work
in the area studied, which included
parts of two counties. Four-fifths Of
the children were under fourteen
years Of age, over One-fourth were
under the age of ten years, and
number had not even reached the age
of eight.
A small proportion of the children
belonged to the families Of the beet
growers themselves, but seven-tenths
were children of the contract labor
ers, who in the sections studied did
the great bulk Of the work of the beet
fields and who in this district were
mainly resident. They lived in towns
near the beet fields, moving out to the
farms In the spring and returning to
their homes after the harvest. About
seventy families were those of transit
ent laborers, recruited by the sugar
companies, often from distant parts
of the country.

THE WOOL AND SILK GOWNS
Straight Lines Predominant; Uneven
Lower Edges Liked; Black Crepe
and Georgette.

TailOr-made cloth frOcks of piquetine,
tricotine and poiret twill are the me-
diums chosen, while silk models de-
veloped in canton crepe, lacquered
crepe, satin faced canton and similar
fabrics make up one collection. Price
moderation is one of the outstanding
features of these numbers.
Straight lines predominant in this
collection in which the chemise type
of frocks is shown as we'll as coat
dresses. Uneven lower edges obtained
in some instances through the applica-
ton Of panels are we'll liked, and
sleeves of affecting flare tendencies are
given consideration.
One smart model shows comblna-
ton of black jacquard crepe and
geOrgette The former material fash
ions the bodice and the upper skirt
section, the skirt from the hips down
being made of folds of georgette
placed to give a pointed effect. An
irregular lower edge is affected, the
points dropping longer at the back
and front than the sides. The same
pointed fold treatment is repeated on
the loose sleeves and color contrast
is gained through the application Of
tiny square red cabOuchons.
A deep round yoke, reaching low
at the front and back and well over
the shoulders at the sides is note
worthy in a black canton crepe frock,
fine black and white braid serving
as establishment. Plated panels
from the hips are headed
with self fabric flowers, the panels
dropping below the skirt edge.

ALLOWED TO REDUCE WAGES
Railroad Labor Board Takes Action
That Is Considered Significant
at This Time.

With two members dissenting, the
United States railroad labor board
rendered decision that may prove a
precedent for the additional wage re-
auctions railway officials are seeking.
The decision was reached just after
the threatened rail strike had been
| aVerted, but was made public only
few days ago. 1t reduces the pay of
train service men on the New Orleans
and Great Northern railway, a south
ern short line, to the scale in effect
before the increases authorized in
May, 1920. The pay of shop crafts
and roundhOuse employees also was
materially reduced, but in varying de-
grees.
Board members declined to say
whether this may be regarded as an
indication as to what action it will
take in cases of trunk lines involving
proposals for additional wage cuts.
The New Orleans and Great North
ern, operating in Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi, was not a party to the de-
cislon which, effective July 1, reduced
the pay of railway employees IL per
cent. 1t has comparatively few en-
plOyees, it's main lines between Jack
son and New Orleans being about 275
miles long.
The decision, it has become known,
was withheld because Of fears it
would be so misinterpreted as to cause
a runaway" railway wage. strike. 1t
was granted upon testimony alleging .
the southern road suffered an operat-
ing loss of 100000 in 1920, and
showed a further deficit of $4,000 for
the first six months Of 1921. Other
exhibits tended to show cost Of living
had decreased about 80 per cent in
the territory from the cost of July,
1920.

70 WEAR VELVET SLIPPERS
|tVid Hues in Evening Footwear Prom
ised for Winter; Gold or Silver
Cloth Combination.

Velvet slippers promise to be promi-
nent throughout the winter. The dark
er shades are relieved by bright col
ored inlays and stitchings, and velvet
slippers in vivid hues will make their
appearance in the evening. Some
times gold or silver cloth or patent
leather is combined with bright col
Ored velvet.
The great number of these CAV
shoes displayed in American shops give
silent evidence of the fact that there
are many women in this country whose
taste for shoes is far from conserva-
tive.

white evening frocks of the slmple
sort that received so much promi-
