fashion.
One Of these long smocks or tunic

A black velvet dress which Ii one
Of the most snowy rhinestone embroid-
cred models Is called COnquerante.
The entire back of the corsage is made
of a mesh of rhinestones and through
the interstices of the jeweled pattern
the flesh is revealed.

Devinette Is another beautiful eve
ming dress trimmed with rhinestones.
1t Is developed from black satin, while
Magicienne Is a black velvet model,
on the skirt Of which appears a deep
flaring fiounce made entirely OF rhine
stone embroidery.
A very young looking model called
Petite File Is In three tones Of pink
georgette. The skirt is made Of three
shaped flounces which, beginning on
one side, have straight edge bands
finishing In an overlapping end in deep
, cascading points. These odd-shaped
iounces, OF which there are three, are
each bordered with a band Of rhine
stone embroidery and there Is an in
teresting rhinestone embroidered motif
which trims the side OF the skirt and
finishes on the bodice In a sort OF
pocket design.
Juno, another lovely creation, Is In
green, with broad bands Of rhinestone
embroidery encircling the close-fltting
straight-line dress.
One Of Callot's newest models de-
veloped In a heavy red crepe In
trimmed with red suede leather, the
leather forming the big cuffs, collar,
skirt band and border OF the cape
panel back. This present fancy for
leather trimmings carries dressmak-
ers to every possible extreme. Every
thing In leather goes-even trimmings
for FRAN fabrics.
A Cabot model well reflects this
mode. The suede leather used Is al
most as supple as the crepe and II
adds distinctly novel touch. Head

Bright Colors in
Late Fall Styles
Many Costumes Garry East
Indian Note; New Dress
With Coat-Top.

Respondent colors and novelty ma
terials are d feature OF the new
clothes, writes Paris fashion CORE
spondent in the New York Tribune
Prominent among the emphatic
notes are the Hindo-Chinese effects.
One needs only to study the records
Of the moguls to realize how closely
allied are the present-day fashions to
their mode of dress. In the Bib
liotheque Rationale at Paris is to be
found a wonderful collection Of hand
Illuminated and hand-illustrated
books, done by italian artists, which
set forth particularly the costume his
tory Of the great moguls. The house
Of Agnes shows in replica many points
Of the picturesque dress Of these peo-
pie.
One recalls that just prior to the
great war Paris fashions went through
a period of minaret styles and
these Hindo- Chinese effects are from
the same source. But in the present
day interpretations fashion has es-
capped the minaret skirt and it Is the
coat, or polonaise, that has been
adapted-the flaring bell-shaped postil-
lion or basque set onto a close-htting,
long wasted body. Thus 1t is the
masculine Mogul style that Paris Is ex-
plotting for autumn-the coat OF the
Grand Mogul himself, and not those
Of the women Of his harem.
Any number Of costumes bear this
East Indian note. At first sight 1t
seems as Il 1t were a two-piece gar
ment, that there was a narrow founda-
ton and over this a flaring coat OF
three-quarters length. But the new
feature is really dress with coat
top and not a two-piece costume. In
d clever manner the f1aring tunic and
the narrow skirt are attached and one
IN a complementary part Of the other,
though they may differ both In color
and In material.
Sumptuous fabrics are employed for
these modes. Or If the fabric is plain
II is a brilliant color and often mar
velously embroidered and jeweled.
Developed From White Velvet.
One of the most interesting dresses
Of this sort il a model called Pagode.
1t ia developed from white velvet rich
ly embroidered from white velvet
richly embroidered In gold and In
black silk. At the edge Of the three
quarters length sleeves and the godet
tunic Is a band OF black velvet, and
bordering all Is q deep band of dark
brown fur.
This model is almost exactly like
the coats worn by titled rulers during
the period Of the Grand Moguls. The
body is straight and close-ftting, with
q low walstline and three-quarters
tunic fiaring widely over a very mar
row foundation. The sleeves are long
and bell shaped and the neck Is col
lRrless. There Is an opening down
the front Of the blouse characteristic
Of the Oriental garment which slips
on over the head.
Another beautiful Hindu model Is
Kcrigane. 1t Is developed In red vel
vet with gold embroidery In an elab-
crate all-over pattern with deep Dor
ders Of fur. This silhouette Is exact.
ly the same as that of Pagode.
Separate coats are cut on these
same flaring lines. Many Of them are

COULD ENFORCE PROHIBI-
TON BUT NO LAWS FOR
LYNCHING

Westinghouse the exact moment
that Senator Carter Glass Of Virginia
was inveighing against Congressman
Hill Of Maryland for violation Of the
Volstead law, in permitting wine to
ferment in his cellar, Negro named
Carter was being taken from the Vir-
ginia authorities, near Richmond, to
be lynched.
Senator Glass was speaking before
the Citizenship Conference, in session
here last week and said: eff Con
gresham Hill was in Virginia l would
find an officer who would arrest him
if he allowed wine to ferment in his
cellar or his parlor, either. In Vir-
ginia we teach respect for the law BY
furnishing its violators. and that is
why Virginia is a law-abiding com
munity"
If what the senator was saying was
literally true, probably Carter, who
was accused of attacking a white
woman, might have had a trial by a
jury in order that the facts could be
disclosed, instead of displaying thai
the Virginians would rather take life
than take a drink.

ENTHUSIASM IN
CAMPAIGN TO FREE HoUS-
TON MARTYRS, SAYS N. A.
A. c. P. SECRETARY

New York.-James Weldon John
SON, secretary Of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement Of Col
ored People, 6o Fifth Avenue, has
issued a statement saying that the
campaign for the freeing Of the 81
members Of the Gath Infantry still
imprisoned in Leavenworth peniten-
tiary for their share in the Houston
riot had met with unprecedentedly
enthusiastic response throughout the
nation.
Not only ought we to have the
100000 signatures with which we
hoped to 60 before President Cool
idge, asking him to pardon the 81
members Of the oath Infantry who are
still in prison" said Mr.. johnson,
but we ought to have a considerable
number above that figure. Hardly a
colored newspaper in the country but
has spread the news of this cam
paign to free the Houston martyrs.
Churches and fraternal organizations
have taken it up and signatures are
being obtained by the thousand every
where. One colored man in New
York City took petitions into the
Offices of the Standard Oil Building,
and although those petitions have not
yet come in, we are informed that
high officers Of the Standard Oil Com
pany have signed them.
Il want to say a special word about
the work Of fraternal organizations.
They have been doing yeoman service
and their members have been spread
ing the word about this campaign and
turning in large numbers of sigma
lures. The churches, too, have been
responding valiantly and there is
every indication that the church serv-
ices on Sunday, November IL, Hous-
ton Martyrs Day, will make an i'm
preston on the entire nation 1t
should be remembered that November
ii is also Armistice Day, the day that
marked the end Of the great war in
which colored American soldiers
played such an important part.
"Colored Americans have found a
stirring task in this campaign and l
am glad to say that they are working
together in the finest possible spirit
We are looking forward to the time
when the fine, outstanding and clean
boys in Leavenworth penitentiary will
be able to walk out Of there free men"

Interesting Features

Salient points of the mode can now
be summed up with certain degree OF
assurance that the clothes we buy
new will be In style for at least six
months-and what more can one de-

There Is. for instance, the question
Of skirts. These for day and street

necessity somewhat short. Evening

full skirts, are angle length. II slim

instances 1t Is tight there seems to
be a rapidly increasing tendency to

Blouses are loose, with q rather cas-

a few inches below the waistline to a
point about at the knees.

present.
No longer Is the vase of flowers
confined to a formal bouquet for the
living-r0om and a few blossoms for
the dining-room table. Hall, porch,
sun parlor, breakfast-room and kitchen
each has its place for flowers, which
vie with those in the other rooms. or
course, flowers are seldom found In
every room In the house at one and
the same time, but they appear now
and then in different rooms as an in
spiration to those who remain at
home during the day and as happy
note Of greeting to the tired home

Along with this growing feeling for
flowers as a decorative feature and
joy-giver, 1t has been discovered that
the beauty Of even the loveliest bios

appropriate receptacles and by the
proper arrangement and combination
Of the flowers that are used.
The worst sin one can commit In
