Princess M1ry's Trousseau Is Last Word In Snartness

with the rest of the upper-are in gray antelope and brown suede re- spectively.
 No Fumes Used
 Princess Mary, like her mother, has standing order that neither para disc plumes nor ospreys shall appear in her millinery. She very much likes the present style of small closely fitting hat, rather sharply turned up from the face. An effective example on these lines, part of the trousseau. is in black satin. upon the upstand- ing brim of which are set flat con- yentional daisies in jade green tipped with gold Most becoming is a swathed turban in gold tissue round which are folds of this beautiful fab ric shot with blue, rose and deli- cate green. drawn together in large chou at the side.
 There is one hat which has the very latest novelty for trimming in a spray of flowers formed of small shells tinted with pink and blue upon a shape having c raised brim in sapphire blue velvet, lightly yelled in gray lace. X black cire satin hat has a long trail of the small flowers of the borage plant in its curious tones of blue. For country wear is a hat of rather mushroom shape in green suede with narrow ribbons of green and gold, and similar In style is an other in fuchsia shading.

MRS. FREEMAN EXPLAINS
 SENDING OF TELEGRAM

New York February 16.-Mrs. George A. Freeman of Shipping Point. Stamford Conn. tonight ex- p1ained why 1t was that Miss Marion Graham of Hollywood sent her a telegram announcing the death of William Desmond Taylor only two hours after the motion picture direc- tors body was discovered with a bullet wound through the heart.
 She said that both she. and Miss Graham had known Taylor here in the days when he was known as Tanner and when his daughter, Ethel Daisy, was about one year old.
 Mrs. Freeman said:
 When Miss Graham sent me that telegram from Los Angeles it was for the express purpose of having me notify Taylor's daughter, Ethel Daisey Deane-Tanner, before she would read in the newspapers the ac- count of her fathers murder. That was her only motive.
 Nothing to Hide
 Perhaps Miss Graham, by the reti- cence she maintained when question ed by the authorities, conveyed the idea that she had something to conceal. As matter of fact, she had nothing to hide; but she took the stand that If there was anything the authorities desired to know about Mir. TayIors private life they could be enlightened by questioning his former wife, Mrs. Robbins.
 Both Miss Graham and had known Mir. Taylor as Peter Tanner many years ago. We were and still are intimate friends of the now Mrs. Robins. We are very fond of her and her daughter, Ethel.
 Although the telegram she sent me was timed 1o:0s. less than three hours after his body was found. [ firmly believe the statement she has made to the authorities out there that she learned of the murder through the newspapers"
