them. The fashionable colors are so rich
and warm in tone that they do not need
the association Of contrasting shades to
strengthen their beauty, and what is true
OF colors is equally applicable to materials.
Tortoise shell brown satin crepe can be
fashioned into a very lovely frock for
semi-formal wear, with tuclcs as the princi-
pal establishment. A design in which this
idea is beautifully carried out has a long
wasted blouse which fastens at the left side
and has long, close-htting sleeves. About
the round neck is a frill Of self-material
and a similar trimming finishes the sleeves.
The skirt is attached to the blouse with a
frill Of its own crepe, while below the frill
are eight deep bands, put on to simulate
tucks. The bands are really easier to
manage than tucks and have the same
effect. Il adds to the smartness Of the
dress to have the edges Of frills and bands
picoted
In the great majority Of the new dresses
the necks are oollarless, and there is quite
a tendency to favor the square outline as
much as the round or oval line. The
square effect seems especially appropriate
for check materials and il is used on
dresses that feature long, narrow vestees
and deep collars.

lemon-juice, 1 tablespoon orange-juice,
yolk OF 1 egg, icing sugar sufficient to
make the right consistency.
Peel and separate into sections free
from all unnecessary membrane, ono
good-sized orange.
Put the two layers Of cake together
with a generous amount Of the orange
filling between them, and spread very
evenly with the frosting, making the
surface smooth with a spatula or
limber-bladed knife dipped frequently
into boiling water. Arrange the sec
tions Of fruit in any attractive way
and if you have a pastry bag, pipe
some small design in the center and

broidered, then sewed at the longest
sides, the shortest sides being left open
to draw ribbons through. Narrow Val
lace and bows Of satin ribbon contribute
to the decorative effect.
Next, along the upper row Of bonnets
is a design embroidered in tiny floral
sprays, with lace added TO the decora-
tive scheme. Raised satin, outline and
feather stitching 'are required to de-
velop the tiny motifs. The tie-strings
are hemstitched and edged with lace,
as are also the brim and crown.
The last Of the group 0ower center)
looks well in either organdy, handker-
chief linen, crepe de Chine or albatross.
The pattern supplies shape and de-
sign for one cap. The feather-stitching
is done in white, while rose-colored
floss is used for the tiny roses, worked
with long French knots. Narrow rib
bon and Val lace outline the crown
and the edges of the front.
These designs are all planned for
the mother who does her own sewing,
each requiring but little time to make.

AUTUMN Is anything but the season
IA Of the "sere and yellow leaf' for
baby's headgear. Often it happens
that there are no leaves at all, but
when they are permitted to appear
among the posies that compose the
decorations on a bonnet Of silk crepe
de Chine, cashmere or silk-lined
albatross, rest assured that the leaves
must be content to reflect the spirit
Of the flowers with which they are
entwined.
Fashions in infant millinery have
so changed that even linen and batiste
are used for bonnets in mid-winter.
OF course, there is a protecting cap Of
soft flannel or eiderdown under the
sheer creation. The four models illus
trated here are all new and show
distinctive treatment. The first upper
left is decorated with little roses
made with long French knots. The
leaves are in raised satin stitch and
the stems in outline. The scallops
are first buttonholed, then outlined
with narrow flet lace frills. The little
crown-piece is hem-stitched.

''Kitten's Ear Faille," and Of grand
mothers beloved cashmere in cashmere

knit wool, in stead Of wool Jersey, since
this popular all-around fabric has taken
unto itself brushed-wool appearance and
a more firmly woven appearance so that
il may be used both for trotteur frocks
and sweaters.
Decorations Of all kinds, but especially
embroideries and braids, take on the
spirit Of the frocks they embellish. An
Autumn model that will be in good fashion
Throughout the Winter, is developed in
midnight blue tricotine. The skirt and
sleeves arc embroidered In dark blue silk
combined with old gold threads. The
blouse closes in front, but has an applied
front with round neck, which closes on
the left side. A great deal of prominence
is given to beads which come In a wide
range Of oolors, jet and steel sequins, but
the smart embellishments are as refined
and elegant in effect as arc therdresses
on which they appear.
One Of the incest things about the new
satin serge is that il can be worn on all
occasions and is quite as rich looking in
a plain, unadoned dress, as it is in a
luxuriously embroidered creation. A
number Of beguiling designs in brown are
featured. There are more shades Of brown
this season than ever, but they are almost
all becoming and their names peculiarly
suggest their tones. For instance, cocoa,
tortoise and varnish. One visualizes the
color at the sound Of the name. A one.
piece dress in cocoa brown serge has a
two-piece slightly circular skirt attached
to long-waisted bodice which fastens al
the left side. A choice Of two different
styles is offered for the front trimming
Either the blouse may be cut deeply
then filed in with a vestee, or an under.
facing may be used and the fronts ther
rolled back with a convertible collar
Also the sleeves may be long and close
fitting or short and flowing. While much

PARIS, Nov. 27.-In the absence Of
official information the spokesmen of
silent concerning the report from
Washington of the possibility of draw
ing Germany into the arms confer
ence. The press, however, is outspokcn
in its opinion.
The attitude of the Paris newspapers
toward this suggestion may be de-
scribed as one of effervescent protest.
Under the heading "Imprudences at
the Washington Conference" "Liberte"
asks sharply:
why speak of instituting at Wash
ington another league of nations? Why
throw this opposition league iYme-
diately open to Germany, who has not
yet been able to force the door Of the
Wilson institution at Geneva? If the
United States is resolved to hold aloof
from the affairs of our continent, why
act to aggravate the disorder here?
Germany has nothing to say on the
question Of disarmament: that was
settled for her in the Treaty of Ver-
sailles. Germany wants to participate
in the conference simply to urge a
moratorium, the revision of the ulti-
matum Of London and escape repara-
tions. Is it for that that the Wash
ington conference was called? Amer
ica's abstention from European affairs
is explainable, but for her to attempt
to add to the complications without
assuming esponsibility~. is an unex-
plainable contradiction"
''LIntransigeant" says: "It is evi-
dent Germany wants to protest of
fcially against the accusations of
BRAND, accusations which recent facts
unfortunately have re-enforced."
The important semi-official Temps
ignores the report from Washington.
1t is recalled here, however, that NJ. L.
Loucheur, Frances reparations expert,
is soon to start for Washington, pos
sbly arriving shortly after Premier
Lloyd George does. Loucheur carries
voluminous data with reference to
Frances position in the face of pos
sible bankruptcy of Germany. and his
presence may after all have the effect
of a meeting of the Supreme Council
at Washington, as forecast some time

Hugghes's Plan Not
Expected to Reduce
Navy's Personnel
Officials Contend That With
Smaller Fleets More Rea-
son Exists for Full Com
plement on Vessels AfiOat

From The Tribunes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-No great
saving in the number of commissioned
and enlisted men in the navy will be
brought about by the Hughes plan of
reduction in capital ships and auxiliary
vessels, if the fleets which remain are
manned at full strength, competent
naval authorities pointed out to-day.
The suggestion in Congressional cir
cles that the naval holiday and scrap
ping of vessels already built or under
construction should be accompanied
by a corresponding decrease in per-
sonnel is not favored in navy circles.
On the contrary, it is asserted that the
smaller the American navy the more
reason exists for the full complement
on every vessel ahoat.
Of the older ships which are in
cluded in Secretary Hughes's scrap
ping program, only two are in commits
sion. They are the Connecticut, which
is serving as the flagship of the Pacific
fleet, and the Ohio, which is equipped
for radio control of other ships. The
combined strength of the crews on
these two vessels is not more than
1000 men. To adequately man the
vessels which will remain in the
American fleets after the acceptance of
the Hughes plan an enlisted personnel
of at least 100000 men will be re-
quired, navy officers assert.
With the present enlisted strength,
the battleships have an average of 88.5
per cent of the prescribed complement.
The destroyers are even worse off,
for 65 of them have an average
complement of "a per cent. and 213 of
them have only one-half of their COM
plementss The ten scout or light cruis-
ers under construction, and all of which
would be kept, will require some $500
men if they are to be placed in serv-
ice with their prescribed compliments.
One of them, the Omaha, is scheduled
to be finished in March, and two others,
the Milwaukee and Cincinnati, are be-
tween 80 and 90 per cent completed.
