TRA|NLOAD ORDER
 OF REOS PLACED
Hartford Dealer Wants Them In Quantity After the Auto
 Show

As result of retail orders taken al the Hartford show, Russell P. Taber, Inc, Rec distributors for central and eastern Connecticut, has booked a solid trainload of Rec cars and speed wagons for immediate delivery.
 [ Trainload orders for large distributing centers are not unusual. but it is sig nificant that the Hartford distributor has a comparatively small territory, com prising but six counties.
 That the demand for Rec passenger cars is increasing as people are given the opportunity to secure the car of their choice is evidenced by the fact that in the Hartford trainload there are more touring cars, roadsters and sedans than there are of the famous Speed Wagons. At no time has there been any noticeable stacking up in the demand for this Rec commercial vehicle.
 This trainload was scheduled to leave the factory on March Is, and is due to arrive in Hartford in time to take care of those who asked for delivery during the first week in April
 Rec dealers in the Hartford territory VI ho attended the show were so im- pressed by the demand for both Rec pas senger cars and Speed Wagons that they placed orders with Russell P Tabor, Inc, which took practically all of the surplus stock that had been secured to take care of the spring demand

CAN Y0U NZEAR BLACK2
BY MARIAN HALE.

NEW YORK, July t4-Despits
the perils OF wearing black, which
are pointed out 70 every woman,
this sombre hue seems TO be in the
ascendency for the coming fall and
winter in the softer materials and
silks.
Every woman probably has been
told by some kind friend or relative
at some time In her life that she is
either too young or too old TO wear
black.
Now that women never get old
the Fashion dictator has assumed
the responsibility OF forecasting a
black year, the first for some time.
The black vogue Is, however, in
silks and the softer materials,
which are used in afternoon and
evening gowns.
Among the new fabrics satin.
faced crepe bids fair to hold first
place. This Is partly due to its
good wearing qualities and partly
to the soft gracefulness OF It's
draped lines. OF course, crepe de
chine refuses to give way ali inch
in the running.
A handsome and heavy silk crepe
which is popular this summer and
which is being shown in the ad.
vance styles for fall and winter is
Roshanara crepe.
One Of G.auer Bros. most attrac.
tive afternoon gowns for the com.
ing season is this one Of handsome
satin;faced black canton crepe. The
waist Is slightly bloused above a
draped belt.
Pleated panels which hang long.
er than the skirt at the sides, r
attached to the gown by large
fringe cabochons and silk tassels
The sleeve is unusual. being a
modified kimona set on with small
buttons Of the satin,faced crepe
and finished ut the elbow with the
fringe cabochons.
