Riley's Death Reported
To Motl,er-in-La,U Here
Young Lieutenant Had Been a
Father Only Six Weeks;
Ne,Us TeIephoned to Vido,D

When word Of the death Of Lieuten-
ant William Edward Riley was received
at 526 East Eighty-sixth Street last
evening, Mrs. NJ. Harscher. his mother
in-law. caught the first train for Aber-
deem, Md, to be with her young daugh-
ter, who became mother only six
weeks ago
Before departing Mrs. Harscher said
that her daughter, Mildred, who is
twenty -four and was married only a
year had lived in constant dread of an
accident of this kind. She broke the
news to her as gently as possible over
the long distance wire. Only last Sun
day the husband and wife we're to-
gether at Aberdeen, when Lieutenant
Riley went over from Langley Field
to visit her. They passed Christmas
with MIR. and Mrs Harscher and their
two sons. On their visits to New York
they stayed with Mrs. Riley's mother
Lieutenant Riley was TWENTY-FIVE
years old and was born in Stamford
Conn. SO far as Mrs Harscher knows.
he is survived by no relatives EXCEPT
his wife, baby and an aunt in STAN
ford.
During the war Lieutenant Riley was
IN training at Omaha, his mother-in-
law SAID. He always was interested in
ballooning and was flying at the time
he first met his wife in New York. He
was ambitious about his work and had
become member of the dirigible staff
because he wanted all the experience
he could get.
We are stunned by what has hap
pened, said Mrs. Harscher. Nv
daughter and her husband were de-
voted to each other and the father
was so proud of little six-weeks-
old Dorothy. William was a tall hand
some chap, clean-cut and very enthusi-
ast'c about flying. He had been at it
ever SINCE ne left school. Ny daughter
had dread of it, but she never ant;c;-
pated anything like this"

Report on 'ss-2 Crash
Said To Be Sensational

LONDON, Feb. 21.-What are char
acterized as Sensational disclosures"
are made in the Air Ministry's report
into the ZR-2 disaster at Hull last
summer. says the air correspondent Of
"The Evening STAR in an article to-
day regarding the report in question.
which has not yet been made public.
The correspondent, who says no de-
cision has been yet reached in regard
20 making public the report. asserts
that much of the Air Ministry's in
ouiry "will be found to contain find
1ngs to all intents and purposes dia-
metrically opposed to those of the
naval airship experts" and he adds
that "the whole system under which
the ship was constructed is strongly
condemned'
Referring to the findings of the pre-
liminary court of inquiry, the CORE
spondent says:
ut was suggested that bad design in
the casing and weakness in the frame
work. which was unable TO stand the
strain Of full fight, led to tina disaster.
This point Is stressed in further and
detailed report, which is still being
studied by the chiefs of the Air Min
istry."

seconded by Clayton r. Lusk, majority
loader of the Senate Legislative lead
ers agreed that there would not be any
specia session.
New York City Republicans at once
began to express the fear that hasty
action on the hundred Of measures
affecting the city which the change in
program neccssitates would not only
work to the detrimcnt Of the city, but
would hurt tho Republican party
locally.
While the New York City Republi-
cans were wondering what they could
do, Senator James J. Walker, minority
leader of the upper house, added to
their dismay by informing the Senate
that Speaker Machold had declared
that the five Republican county lenders
Of New York City would meet and
decide what legislation affecting the
city should be passed and what should
be killed.
Walker Fears "Clubfoot' Legislation
"Spcaker Mschold, according to the
newspaper reports, which have, Just
been brought to my attention." said
Senator Walker, "is quoted as saying
that he has resorted to this novel
m cthod of handling New York City
Legislation so that it can never be
charged again that New York City has
had legislation foisted upon it by hay
seed legislators If that is true, /
earnestly hope that he will continue to
suffer from hayseed legislation, rather
than from the 'clubfoot' legislation
which would be wished upon US if the
five Republican county leaders are to
decide what is best for the city"
Speaker Machold later said he had
been quoted incorrectly. The fact re-
mains, however, that there has not
been single hearing on any New York
City legislation and it would be physi-
cally impossible to give any sort Of
adequate consideration to measures af-
fccting the city
Walter Arndt, secretary Of the Git
lzens Union. after comforting with a
number of New York City Republicans,
issued a protest against the proposed
stcam rollcring Of Now York lapislation.

Operators i'm Two States

Illinois Owners Ready TO Con.

of Averting Strike
From a stor Corrcspondsnt

CHICAGO. Feb. 21.-Efforts of John
/: Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers, TO get the coal operators of
illinois, Ohio, Indiana and western
Pennsylvania TO meet union leaders in
q wage conference at Cleveland March
were partly nullifed to-day by re-
fusals by the Ohio and Pennsylvania
operators to enter such q conference.
Illinois pit owners expressed willing
ness TO enter such conference. but
with no hope that it would avert a
strike on April l. Indiana operators
will determine their attitude to-mor-
row.
Lewis hoped that the conference
might result in agreement on new
wage scale. He reiterated his Indian
apois statement that the miners
don't want to strike but added that
they were firmly opposed to wage
cuts"
The railroad brotherhoods and mine
workers were to have held meeting in
an attempt to arrive at mutual
understanding here to-day but post
poned it until tomorrow. 1t is more
and more evident that no move will be
made toward an alliance of these two
labor forces, as was expected d few
weeks ago

Ing almost daily for which the dress
form was q great convenience.
Here are the details Of Elizabeth
Browns wardrobe, which required
cash outlay Of $1OS.34. A conserva-
tive estimate places the cost of equiv
alent ready-made garments as good
in quality at $210
After pricing coats in the stores
and finding that she could not buy
one Of the quality or kind that she
wanted for less than $50, Elizabeth
decided to make her own winter coat
with the aid Of the dress form. She
bought tan broadcloth and good lining
material and made it herself for a
total outlay Of $2461. A blue voile
dress with slip, was next attempted.
Commercial hemstitching for trim
ming was $1.S5, bringing the cost Of
very useful dress up to $11O9. A
tissue gingham dress came to 1888,
including organdie for trimming and
also hemstitching; another gingham
dress made out of scraps and rem
nant cost only 45 cents.
Dresses for Social Affairs.
A dress Of pussy willow taffeta and
georgette crepe served for informal
social occasions. The investment Of
SIG for materials produced a dress
that could not have been bought ready
made In the same quality for less than
$35. Similarly Elizabeths business
dress Of serge and crepe de chine
would have been priced at $40 or
more If made Of the good fabrics for
which she paid $3.50. Her evening
dress, which was Of taffeta and silver
lace, cost only $21, although 1t was
modelled after one seen in a store at
much higher price.
This wardrobe, augmented by two
made-over dresses for which new
materials had to be purchased, bring
ing the entire expenditure up TO
$1OS.34, Is not elaborate. 1t is suffi-
cient for the particular needs Of the
wearer, who remarked in this cOnnec-
ton that because Of having variety
Of clothes this year she had been able
to attend many enjoyable social af-
fairs which required more than busi-
ness clothes.
Without the aid of the dress form
it Is doubtful If any business girl in
the time at her disposal could make
so many garments. Elizabeth, at any
rate, did not believe so; in addition
to her other activities she made ten
dress forms for other girls, holding
meetings at which more than fifty
altogether also learned how to make
to demonstrate this convenience to
others

wooden is lighter in weight than many

suitable for dresses being made up at

The styles brought out at this time
Of the year In very large measure
predate the fashions of the coming
autumn. Women have proved that
their tastes in dress are simple, for
out of the multitude of ideas con-
stantly launched, and many of them
pushed to the utmost, those embody-
ing simplicity Invariably take a firm
hold. The greatest successes known
In the history Of dressmaking have
been made in recent years by design
ers who worked along these lines.
Those who have eschewed complica-
tiOn and held to an almost stern SIM
plicity have been the ones whose
models have had the greatest vitality
and endurance.
No stronger current has run
through the stream of fashions dur
ing the last few years than the Won
net genre or type of dress, asserts
writer in the New York Tribune. 1t
never can be said Of Vionnet's models
that they definitely date themselves,
as do most fashions that rage for a
time. They are beautiful, artistic and
becoming, and no one can deny that
they are enduring. Women who have
become accustomed to this type of
dress continue from season to season
to have similar thing, and often, in
ordering a model, have the same style
copied two or three times, the only
difference being in the color.
In materials, crepe de chine and
crepe romaine are still favorites, but
they have new ally in very light
weight wool material of crepe weave.

made dresses of the sort that have
been so popular in crepe de chine,

veil dropped over the brm and to the
shoulders, and the earrings were made
of long strings of white pearls.
The linen street suits are only Just
beginning to appear. And this season
they are done in the shape Of the very
simplest of little frocks. There are very
few coats, and skirts of that tailored
type which linen used so often to be.
But the linen dresses follow those
bright colors that the tweeds "stab-
lished, and then they are kept tn the
coat-dress type, with large sleeves and
big pearl buttons, and shawl or sur
plice collars to add distinction to their
cut and make.

A great deal has been written and
said on the cost Of women's clothes,
with special attention to the attire Of
the business woman and the amount
Of money that should be spent on
dress In proportion to what Is earned
The United States Department Of
Agriculture has received an interest
Ing record of what can actually be
done when sensible girl makes up
her mind that she ought to keep her
clothing expenses down to q minimum
and at the same time look attractive
ly and appropriately dressed both at
the office and at social affairs outside
Of business hours.
In the first place the premise must
be granted that the most successful
way to reduce the cost Of cOmmod-
ity is to eliminate as far as possible
the items of labor and distribution
cost. A girl who cannot sew has little
chance of reducing her clothing budget
unless she meets with extraordinary
luck In finding bargains. One who is
willing and has the time to substitute
some of her own labor for that rep
resented in the price of the ready
made garment Is on the road to real
economy.
The business girl may justly claim
that she has little time or energy to
make clothes for herself, when her day
at the office is over. In the case of
skilled sewer, however, who enjoys
an occupation that Is change from
desk work and has creative element,
both the time and energy may be
found.

GOWNS FOR THE STOUT BRIDE
Care Should Be Taken to Avoid
Boldly Overdressing; Long, Un-
broken Lines Suitable.

There are stout brides TO be dressed
suggested panels, long, unbroken lines
or fine draperies that fall with a
certain weight, but never should a
plump figure call attention to itself
by overdresslng or by trying to follow
some fashion, charming in itself, pnr-
haps, but only adapted to the unusual
ly tall and thin.
Sometimes. by boldly exaggerating
curves, one can make them appear ac-
tually less as, for example, in the full
petticoats Of the time of Louis XVI,
when full hip was well disguised
and waist, however ample, appeared
small in comparison.

Somewhere among the spectators a
little girl arose from her seat.
Mamma" she shouted, breaking the
silence, "can you do that?"
The lady tried to quiet her, but the
child persisted in demanding whether
or not her mother had ever climbed
ropes or done anything of this sort.
At last, embarrassed by the attention
which the child was attracting, the
mother jerked the child into the seat,
warning, you just. wait until get

"Ohl" exclaimed the little disturber,
"then you're gonna try it?"-Judge.

BLACK CREPE FOR DRESSES
AII-Around Satisfactory Color Holds
Favor With Many Women for
Luncheon Time.

Many of the dresses seen mt lunch
there is certain portion Of the popu-
latOn which. never seems to care to
desert that a,l-arOund and satisfactory
color. These frocks are invariably
long, and almost always they have
some sort Of draping at one side Of
the skirt, which has way Of hanging
much below the hem Of the dress
which, to begin with, Is long enough
to strike the ankles. Then this sort
of frock you will find being worn with
hats that are extremely large of brim,
with little trimming, but with great
deal of line, which helps them to add
materially to the grace of the cos
tune as 1t originally existed.
Some frocks Of foulard stand very
high among those that are fashionable.
They are especially those made of
black and white or dark blue and
white prints when they are made
along Formal lines. They, too, are
draped, with the exception Of q few
little hits of lace used just as edging
that ere left to show their patterns
quite nninterruptedly. One of these
was of black and white print, the
design being of conventional roses in
white that twined over the fabric In
sprays. The skirt was so intricately
draped that It was hard to tell exactly
what the. scheme Of its design was
founded upon, and the bodice, quite
tightly fitted, had square ,neck. to.
carry out the lines upon which the
frock was founded. With. this was
worn a.white transparent straw hat

ICE IN HOME is NECESSITY
Can BE Made to Last Considerably
Longer IL Covered With Few
Newspapers.

Although quite expensive, ice in the
home is a necessity and not luxury.
For that reason it is very desirable
to make it last as long as possible.
While it is true that most of the re-
frigerators and ice boxes are reason
ably well insulated, at the same time
the life of the ice can be prolonged
from one-fourth to one-third provided
it Is well covered with five or six
thicknesses of newspapers. The best
way to put this paper on is to spread
it over the top and sides Of the Ice,
taking particular pains to see that 1t
Is well covered In front where the
door closes.
