TO PLACATE RADICALS
Discussed Changes in Irish Free
State Constitution With an
American Before Tragedy.

London, Aug. 24--At the time OF his
death Michael Collins had under con
slderaton plans to redrsft several sec
tons OF the Constitution Of the irish
Free State so as 10 pIacate the more
radical Republican element. This was
made known today by Michael Francis
Doyle. Philadelphia lawyer, who ar
rived from Dublin where he went to
consult with the members Of the pro
vlsional government.
Mr.. Doyle was the last American.
he believes, 20 see the Free state com
mander in chief alive. He had sever
al conferences with Collins and on the
day before the latter went to the south
where ne wac fated TO fall under a
bullet. they went carefully over the
different points in the Constitution
which Il had been planned 20 redraft.
These points were three in number.
The first concerned the taking OF an
oath Of allegiance TO the king Of Eng
land; the second concerned ratifica-
ton OF Irish governmental acts by
the British prlvy council while the
third hinged upon the stipulation that
the powers Of the Irish government
shall be derived from the treaty be-
tween the Free State and England.
II these points could be arranged TO
satisfy the Republican radicals. Cen
eral Collins believed there was posi-
bility Of inducing the people az q
whole TO rally around the Constitution

IRISH TREATY MAY DIE

British and Irish Papers Do Not

there Is a greater effort 10 eulogize
him, to describe his meteoric career
and romantic personality and 10 pay
tribute to his gay bravery" than
there is TO look into the dark cloud OF

The fact, that eight months OF the
Anglo-Irish treaty was signed, only
one Of the Irish signatories remains

ministers unknown quantities in Eng

support OF its opinion that II Is i'm
possible 20 regard the future without
forebodings.
There are other leaders, says the
Times. but none who has caught the

ed the qualities of military and politi-
cal leadership in such high degree as
did Collins.
The editorial writer's generally ask
VINO is left 10 carry on the policy
for which Collins and Arthur Griffith

suggests the possibility OF the British
government again taking a hand in
Irish affairs.
There is the possibility that, the

cannot die. His work and worth, II

DECORATION OF WHITE SCARF
Bright Embroidery Is Employed With
Miraculous Effect-Hat to Com
pIete the Outfit.

All of the .Czechoslovakian en-
broideries and those from Russia and
all of the colorful countries are being
applied to white scarfs with most
miraculous effect. The scarfs them
selves are made Of the loosest Of hand
woven homespun done in either thin
wooden or thick silken threads.
Then on their ends for space of
about ten inches there Is arranged a
solid mass of embroidery taken from
the peasant art of one of these coun-
tries. The embroideries are about as
inspiring as anything you can think
of. They fairly scream joyfulness
Of life, and when they are imposed on
the pure wilderness of the homespun
background they are particularly at
tractive for the purposes of the mod
'ern girl and her activities in sports.
Sometimes there are hats en-
broidered to go with these scarfs that
fling about the throat and again they
are worn by themselves. but when they
are added to pure white costume,
either with or without hat. they add
enough distinction to make that suit
look as though 1t were chosen to go
among those preferred by the gods.

silks on gray But the best results are
obtained by a skillful combination of
neutral tints, light and dark beige,
gray or putty.
Without doubt hip-coatees and wraps
will remain in favor all the winter.
and in this connection the sack models
are most successful. Shaved lamb is
used for these little garments. The
skins are beautifully prepared and
dyed, some really wonderful tints
being obtained. Since the fancy of
the moment is for colored furs shaved
lamb comes in for considerable atten-
ton.
1t is particularly successful in, a
clear shade of pinkish beige, combined
with beige fox and lined with Chinese
blue taffeta.
Monkey-fur fringe has taken fresh
lease of life; 1t is used by our best
tailors and dressmakers.-on day and

Fall styles are now coming to the

early fall will probably find fashion
demanding that she purchase coat.

Hair Dressing.

In France women are dressing the
hair to make the head look as small
as possible. The locks are pulled
straight back and coiled at the neck
with the greatest simplicity. There is
a tendency over there to keep the out
line of the head small, but the hair Is
arranged softly about the face. This
is much more flattering to the average
woman.
