Transparent Gowns For Summer

The hot weather clothes shown by
Paris shops are made Of sheer and
transparent materials ~ organdie.
transparent crepe, calico, sill, weaves
and cotton crepe.
Challis, coarse linen and cotton
homespun are almost equally well
liked, the two latter being used for
summer suits and sport skirts es-
pecially.
One dress that seems to have
found great favor with the Paris
iennes is of bronze linen with a
Puritan collar of lace and white
muslin to complete its quaint Sc
-erity
Organdle dresses continue to use
founces for bouffancy and are trim
med whit narrow ribbon girdles or
with flowers OF silk or ribbon Brown
and navy blue are both especially
favored In organdie dresses.
Indeed the mention of navy blue
organdie calls to mind the fact that
just within the last few weeks navy
blue has had a sudden increase in
popularity both I'm sheer summer
wash fabrics and i'm silk ones.
1t is expected to be extremely
popular all through the rest of the

ing Kittie.
Kittie Kat walked along some
more and. all Of a sudden, she cried:
Il know what I can do. I can put
the eggs in the soft fur on my back.
and then, if 1 stumble and fall, they
won't break"
"A good idea" declared the bunny
gentleman. SO Kittie took the re-
mainder Of the eggs from the grass
basket and placed them In the fur OF
her back, Uncle Wiggily helping.
And the next time Kittie stumbled
and fell not an egg was cracked.
SO she and Uncle Wiggily reached
her house and taking the cracked
eggs from the bunny's hat, and the
uncracked ones from the fur on her
back, Kittie made four dear little
custards; one for Lulu, one for
Alice, one for Kittie herself and one
for Uncle Wiggily. And the bunny
ate his custard after he had washed
the whites and yellows of the eggs
off his pink nose. So everything
came out all right

Administration Takes Stand
Disarmament Is Success.


Washington, Jan. 3.--Americau par
ticipation in the Forthcoming interna
tiona1 economic and financial confer
ence was discussed by President Hard :
ing with his cabinet today for several
hours.
At the conclusion of the cabinet
meeting it was stated that no definite
decision had been reached.
1t was regarded as certain, however,
that this government will participate
in the conference. altho not in any
leading role.
The administration believes thu
armament conference has been sue
cess, altho it has not accomplished
everything it set out to do, it was
stated this afternoon in the course of
President Harding's regular confer
enee with newspaper correspondents.
President Harding believes, it was
said, that a new process of internal
ttona1 adjustment has been developed
by the conference.
Criticism of the conference by high
church adignitaries is not held justified
by the White House. This statement
of the administration attitude was in
terpreted as an answer to Archbishop
Curley, of Baltimore, who Sunday
voiced a criticism of the conference
for it's lack of Christian spirit
President Harding indicated his be-
lief that the Washington conference
has proved that great nations have
higher ambitions than forceful con-
quests and territorial aggrandize-
rnepfs"

The CAUSE
Investors Hold to Cash, De-
cIares Federal Reserve Report.
Past Year Showed Big Demand
For Call Loans in the u. S.

Washington. Jan. 4.-Lessened de-
mand generally for bills of accept
ance but a somewhat broader activity
was reported by the federal reserve
board today in a year-end survey of
conditions in the acceptance markets
of the twelve reserve districts.
Activity prevailing in the bill mar
ket in November did not continue in
December, Boston reported and sales
during one week were described as
the lowest for the year. The influ-
ence of tax payments coming stimuli
taneously with the new certificate is
sue and the year-end adjustments had
a deterrent effect in the investors, ac-
cording 10 the survey.
A considera BILE decline in the .coun-
trys foreign trade during 1921 in adj
dition to the fall in prices resulted in
a reduction in the amount of bankers
bills in the New York market, the
survey continued, adding, however,
that there was steadily broadening
market.
"a highly important development
of 1921" the report said, was the
growth of a market for call money
lent against the security of bankers
acceptances and treasury certificates
