RETIREMENT REGRETTED?
Hoosier Vice President Has Been Pop
uIar With Senators.

ulaF WIN senators.
Vice President Marshall is undoubt-
edly one Of the most popular men who
ever occupied the chair of presiding Of
ficer over the senate. 1t isn't any easy
job to interpret the rules for ninety-six
senator's, for there are occasions al
most every day when the rulings of the
vice president, or whoever takes the
chair in his place, hit some senator,
writes Labert st. Clair In the Wash
ington Post. Mr.. Marshall, however.
has been so fair in his rulings and has
interspersed them with so much real
humor that he has grown into a real
place in the affections of virtually ev-
cry man who has served with him.
. At a gathering the other night at
which the vice president was a guest,
Senator Lodge, chairman Of the foreign
relations committee and a vigorous
partisan. took the opportunity to. say
some nice things about Mr.. Marshall
and to express his regret at his leaving
:he senate. ,.'...: ...:
In reply the vice president declared
he appreciated the feelings expressed
by the senator's from Massachusetts,
but considering the circumstances, and
keeping in mind the magnitude Of the
Republican victory last November, he
thought the senator was in a frame Of
mind to say something good about any
body. He was reminded. he said. of
story about two colored boys who serv-
ed in France in the war In France
they had been given social opportuni-
ties" the vice president said. which
they had not been afforded in the Unit
ed States, particularly in the first fam
lilies Of Virginia"
LAS the two boys were coming into
New York on their way back" said the
vice president, "they were looking over
the rail at the city before them, dream:
ing Of what They would do when they
landed.

Simple Lines for Suits.

Simple Lines for Suits.
Suits for spring wiIl IN all probabi-
lity, continue the straight unbelted
coat; which has proved becoming to
almost every type of figure. A novel
ty which is characteristic of many of
the mid-scason models consists in the
:use of circulnr flounces or looped frills
of the' material, which are placed
either on the edge of the jacket or
around the hem of the skirt. This is
an idea which we may see developed
in the spring suits and which gives
softness and variety to the straight
jacket and plain skirt of which one
might be growing a little tired.
Another type Of jacket which is
promised: for spring is the bolcro.
Some of the. houses arc also said to be
flirting with thc new type Of coat and
frocts for Spring. The frock will have
a straight, long wasted bodice to
which q long skirt is gathered, and
the coat will be very short and rather
full. jusf' meeting the line OF the top
of the fnll skirt, so that at a little
distance the effect will be that of two
deep ruffles; the lower deeper than
the UPPER. Combinations of two mar
terials and of bayadere stripes and
.,plaids with plain material are sug-
gested ftr these suits. 1t seems pro-
bable that some of the new models
will continue the slight effect over the
hip, which has survived fol, a long
time now, while; others will be rs
straight as. the proverbial string.
Last summer, crepe de Chine found
it's greatest rival IN lace. and it is not
probable that the. mode is yet tired
of this feminine fabric. If the wide
Second Empire modes, beloved Of
Lanvin, continue, then deep lace skirts
will continue also. The immense sue
cess of the:i frocl of this type which
Lanvin made for Mademoiseile Jeanne
Provost to wear in Les Allies Brisees"
and which1is still being talked about,
indicates that. the, vogue of the wide
lacey Skirt is not yet over. If Lanvin
continues to exploit it, it will find
sponsors. 1t. is significant. however
that tho two gowns which Lanrln
made for Mademeiselle Jane Renou-
ardt to wear in "L'Etelnel Masculin," +"
were both Of the straight -skirted var
iety. A novelty in lace is the cire

rv ,r,., Simplicity.


3: One of the surest forecast ndica-
tions that can he given for spring is
the continuance Of the untrimmed
very simply cut gown with which Par
is has .bcen experimenting for some
seasons and which reached its full de-
vclopment last summer. when 4 gown
of this CHARACTER usually in black
crepe de Chine. was almost uniform
of the smart woman. Occasionally
softcned with cascades Of fine black
lace at the sides, it was worn at all
the events of the summer season, and
the coming Of autumn, with new
modes, did mot succeed in deposing it
from favor At all daytime assemblies
Of wcll-dresscd women, one saw some
version. Of this frock, developed from
the chemise dress.
The present development, however,
is much more subtle than it's predeccs-
sor. The chemise frock was originally
cut on pillow!case principles, and de-
pended upon a narrow string belt to
fit its straightness to' any type of fig
ure. For q long time, this easily ad-
justed garment held the place Of hon
or in most wardrohes and taught wo-
men an impatience with the more COM
plicated type of clothes. However,
with the gradual readjustment which
has been taking place in the social
life of Europe since the singing Of the
Armistice the Frenchwoman's thought
and attention could turn once more
without reproach to the question of
dress. Her taste: for simplicity had
been devcloped; more than that, she
had discovered that simple gowns
made her look younger. But she
could be satisfied no longer with the
bag that tied in the middle. Wits
were set to work, and the modern
frock Of the smart Parisiennc is the
result. 1t is, TO all appearance,
naive. almost conventional affair, cut
in two pieces and sewn up in two long
Seams under the arms, but there is
more art expended upon the cutting
and hanging Of those straight folds
than in the fitting of the elaborate
models of former years. The secret
lies in the fact that the old models
used to force any figure to follow
them, while the new ones must adapt
themselves to the individual for whom
they are made. Models such as these
from Renee. (which so well illustrate
the new principles Of drcssmaking are
made on each client, cut especially for
her. and adopted to her in Il way that
takes Il real artist instead Of u mere
artisan Much more depends upon the
filter than used to be the case when
a boncd lining. cut upon scientifically
fixed measurements, was the invari-
prestige Of the masters Of couture is
not in the least threatened by the
popularity of the simple frock which
looks us if any one could make it.
Nadamc .N and Madame B may both
order the same model, but il will he
made very differently for each q!

line must he revealed and accentuated.

WARRANTY DEED T03 MONTHS BOY IS FILED
 BUT HELD ILLEGAL
By ArsocIated Preas

Tampa, Fla, october t4.-A war ranty deed formally transferring ownership of a small boy from one woman to another, was placed on record here yesterday. According to the deed the transaction took place last January In Hardin county, Texas, when Mrs. Nettie Davis deeded her Smonth- son to Mrs. Norma l.. Wilson.
 Mrs. Wilson recently moved to Tampa and had the decd recorded to prove her ownership.
 Courthouse officials declare that in their opinion the deed is Illegal, in that 1t is unfair to the child and de- prives him of the rights of heritage as provided in papers of adoption. In the event of the death of Mrs. Wilson before the boy is of age, of ficials say he would pass IS a chattel and become part of the estate, if the transaction was held legal.
