NECKLACE ADDS TO OUTFIT
Chains and Beads of Gay CoIors En-
nance Beauty of the Costumes
for Sport Wear.

Neckchains are not worn with for
NAL frocks now unless the ornament
be a string of handsome pearls or Of
beads that add distinction, not mere
color, to the costume. 1t is the sport
costume that calls for odd and color
full neck trinkets, and the trinket car
ries out the color scheme of the cos.
tune, matching sport hat or sweater
and giving added emphasis to other
color notes in the costume.
The bright necklace looks very well
also over a white blouse, or on the
bodice front of linen sport frock. An
interesting neckchain has a pendant
covered with tiny beads in black and
white. Still another hanging orna-
ment for a neckchain or sautoir rib
bon suggests a cluster of toy balloons
hanging down, not floating upward.
The tiny balloons are colored glass
beads and the combined hues are gay
and pretty with a sport costume.

TO BEAUTIFY FALL PLUMAGE
Metallic Decorations Now Produced
by New Process Which Greatly
Lessons the Cost.

Metallic plumages are to be a style
factor this fall, and various treatments
have been employed to create a chem
ical that will give the required me-
tallic surface and cOloring to plumage
without labor, waste and damage to
the feather stock. A formula has Just
been perfected by a leading bronze
powder manufacturer, whereby the
cost and time required in processing
the plumage have been cut down ma
terially. The solution prepared for
this use is combined with silver, gold,
bronze, antique or other finishes. Or
dinarily the minimum cost of gliding,
bronzing or Oxidizing a blade was 5
cents, but the new liquid has reduced
this to half a cent. The time con-
suned in the process has been cut
down to two minutes.

$4,000 BOTTLES

Biggest Thing Of Kind Ever Seen in

Wholesaler.

The fact that 625,000 bottles of Tam
lac have been sold in the state of New
York since it's introduction there less
than one year ago, is a big business
item that will attract unusual atten-
ton throughout the entire East, for
nothing like it has ever happened be-
fore. 1t breaks all records.
Mr. George B. Evans, manager of
the Gibson-Snow Company, the we'll

that the preparation was now selling
In their trade territories alone at the
phenomenal rate of approximately 5OO,-
600 bottles a year.
IF the present rate continues" said
Mr.. Evans, "this rate alone will prob
ably require considerably over 100000
bottles a year. This is a tremendous
figure, but am really conservative in
making this statement"

Fads in HANDBAGS.

Small handbags are bulletined for
the coming season, with all black or
black and white combinations much
approved, the fancy for black and
white bags extending to beaded ones
and to metal mesh bags done in two
tones. Fable or MORE silk bags dec
grated with appliqued motifs of white

easy to make. A black frame is easy
to find and at little cost. All sorts 0f

NOVEL WRAP COAT
Attractive French Model Has In
slant Success.
Royal Garment Made Of Dark
Sapphire Blue Duvetyn Lined
With Smoke Gray Suede.


A very novel and attractive autumn
wrap coat designed by a prominent
Paris molder of fashion was recently
launched at Biarritz, writes a fashion
correspondent, and had an instant
success. It was taken over to San
Sebastian, to be shown to the golden
haired Queen of Spain, and she at
once ordered one.
This royal garment is made of dark
sapphire blue duvetyn, lined with
smoke gray suede, and the buttons
are gray horn, finely carved. An ideal
wrap for driving on a chilly autumn
afternoon.
The original model was made of
heavy, black satin and lined with suede
in the natural shade of beige. The
buttons were carved ivory and the
immense gauntlet gloves, which are
buttoned up on the sleeves, were made
of suede, in exactly the same color
as the lining.
These exaggeratedly large gauntlet
gloves are going to play role in the
world Of fashion this coming winter.
They are exact copies Of the gauntlet
gloves worn by 1.-THE Three Muske-
teers" of Dumas fame, but a novel
note is struck by the buttons which
attach them to the coat sleeves.

study Of the Industrial situation and
Of the causes of a condition which
has forced nearly six million American
men and women to idleness."
Apparently no official in washing
ton seems to think that means can
easily be found to put the idle back to
work, but it seems to be the hope that
somehow something can be done,
through legislation or otherwise to
relieve the present situation. There
are doctors enough with their cures
for the trouble, but most of the doc
tors disagree as to the remedy, and
as one high official put it, the man who
can find remedy not only will be a
public benefactor, but can write him
self down as the first person who ever
succeeded in overcoming that rare old
partnership of supply and demand.
AS matter of fact, no one here
believes that the men who are to come
here to discuss unemployment will be
able to suggest anything definite that
will relieve the situation, unless the
recommendation shall follow the line
of suggestions Of legislation of various
kinds which already has been pro-
posed.
There are men here who say that
if congress will put the railroads back
into running, so to speak on smooth
rails, and will supplement proper
legislation for the benefit of the agri-
cultural interests, all will be well;
but here again one runs up against
conflicting views. There are men who
think that the railroads do not need
any additional legislation for their
benefit and that the farming interests
already have been sufficiently pro-
vided for, and that therefore some
thing entirely new in the way of legis-
latfon is needed to start the factory
whistles of the country to blowing
again.

Disagree on Legislation.

Disagree on Legislation.
Concerning some of the legislation
which the administration evidently
desires to have put through for the
purpose Of ending unemployment,
there is a vast gulf of disagreement
between representatives of the en-
plOyers and representatives of the en-
ployed. Legislation for the relief Of
the railroads is point at issue. The
executives of the roads look at it one
way and men employees look at it
another way. There will be some kind
of compromise on legislation, but
the history Of things ever since the
days of the Missouri Compromise
goes to show that compromises gen
orally are only strong enough to
struggle through a short life.
1t is certain that there is economic
trouble in the country. Some six
millions of Americans have acute
knowledge of this fact. Men and
women who made big wages during
the war and did not waste their money
are much better off today than their
big money but who insisted on enfold-
ing themselves in silk shirts and
Alaska seal skins. The virtue of
thrift is preached from good many
pulpits of the land every Sunday but
there are some millions of Americans
today who apparently stand ready to
say that experience is better teacher
than any preacher.
Small Nations and the Conference.
Based on information which
came from men in touch with the
intentions of the various countries
of earth, the statement was made six
weeks ago that while the disarma-
ment conference membership will be
limited to certain great nations, there
will be present outside the conference
chamber many pleaders in behalf of
countries and half-countries which lie
along line much longer than that
which runs from Byzantium to SPAIN"
Although warned long ago, the ad-
ministratiOn and the State department
are only today taking something like
alarmed notice of the intention of ev-
cry small nation of earth, every half
nation, and every country that wants
to be a nation, to have representatives
in Washington at the forthcoming dis
armament and Far East conference.
Today Washington officialdOm is re-
asserting its determination that there
shall be no consideration of any inter-
national problems that may becloud
the main issue" Apparently it took
the State department a long time to
learn of the activities of the agents
of small countries who have been
working in Washington with a view
to securing some kind of a represen-
tation in the forthcoming conference,
or, failing this, to force the consider
alton of problems with which the rep
resentatives at the conference are sup
posed to have nothing to do.

seek, the public will be given full in
