Blue Serge suits.

Ono OF the most wearable types of
blue serge suit has a long. wide sleeve
that can he easily drawn on and off
without mussing the blouse beneath.
1t also shows the use of the rather cir
cular pcplum set OH a wide girdle of the
Jacket. This idea was developed by
several Of the French designers. as
departure from the more usual straight
line jacket. The suit shown Is from
Moiyneux. II IS OF navy blue serge
with a trimming OF white braid ard
white beads. This use of white cotton
braid on blue wooden fabrics is new and
clever.
Another sketch. a gown from Worth,
shows the combination of n navy blue
serge skirt with a red georgette blouse.
There is q silver buckle with red stone
at the waist.

French designers consciously played

Metallic Fabric Rules.

An enormous amount of metallic fab

When they do select them it is almost
always for a formal evening gown.
a really stupendous quantity of these
metallic fabrics were produced in France
in anticipation of the vogue for gold
and silver tissues-a very large pro-
portion of colors with an Interviewing
Of light but lustrous metallic inter-
threadngs.
Parisans of undoubted taste and
smartness have worn these metallic
fabrics for afternoon frocks as well as
those designed for evening. They wear
metallic cloth cuirasses for afternoon
tea. 1t Is an unvarying rule, however.
that Americans will take less eagerly to
metallic fabrics than was sent to Spain
and to Spanish centers in South America
There is a growing demand for these
metallic fabrics in India, and America
| Is more conservative in her demand for
metallic cloth. However. you may be
perfectly sure that for gown to be
worn on ceremonious occasions cloth of
silver, silver lace. and silver embroidered
net will be in very good style for the
ensuing six months. The prediction is
made that next autumn and winter the

Allied Ministers to Debate
Priority of Army Costs

PARIS. July 1.-THE allied gov
ernments have just decided to reply
jointly to the recent note of Sec
retary of State Hughes in which
he demanded priority OF American
army costs before the cash repara-
tions were paid.
The reply actually will be formu-
lated by the allied finance ministers
in Paris or London within sew
eral weeks. 1t is of particular
Importance because allied accept
ance would make A America the most
interested person in the moratorium
controversy. IL II is admitted that
the German cash payments are TO
be used for the accumulated Ameri-
can costs of s250.O00, 900.
The allies sent friendly acknowl-
edgments to Mr.. Hughes note but
they never admitted the America Il
contention, partly because of the
complications regarding reparations
it might lead to.
The army costs were given prl-
GRITTY over reparations in the treaty
of Versailles. which America does
not recognize. Mr.. Hughes there
fore based his claim on broad
grounds of justice which are not
disputed.
In principle. the allies certainly
admit the American claim to pri-
ority hoping to persuade the United
States to accept small annual in
stallments.
The American costs are not recoG-
nized by the reparations commission n
which is governed exclusively by
the treaty OF Versailles. Under the
commissions schedule Belgium is
due to receive almost 1000. .00o. 900
gold marks s250,o0o,0o0) before
Belgian priority is satisfied.

for several months whether to Of
