TIENTSIN. May l6.- Reports from
Linchen yesterday said that the optim-
ism expressed concerning the imme-
date release Of the captivcs held By
the Chinese bandits was based on mis-
placed negotiations which lasted for
three days. Settlement. ii was said was
no nearer than il was AZ the start.
The delay is said to be largely due
TO the fact that the brigands who seized
the prisoners were not acting indie
pendently. but were members Of an ex-
tensive organization which must be con
suited.
Unconflrmcd reports received at
Shanghai today were to the effect that
three OF the captives had been hurled
over precipice to their Death as n
warning to the authorities.

Decoration Regarded as Al
most Necessary to Em-
phasize Style.


Everywhere one sees well-dressed
women this season they are wearing
plaits In some guise or other. Plaits
are representative of the seasons
gowns. They are almost necessary to
establish the tone of the well-dressed
woman, declares a fashion writer In
the New York Times
There Is an artistic encouragement,
too, about this new fad for plating.
The American woman has gone in
largely for simplicity, but at last 1t
seems that she has awakened to great
er possibilities. She finds that she can
be just as picturesque as the woman
who reclined on the porch in the old
days, not in the same way, but with
equal charm.
Take her morning dresses, for In
stance. They are made of soft silks,
In dark and inconspicuous colors, but
with artistic and flowing lines. She
now has little plated cape to throw
over her shoulders for street wear and
under that her gown has no sleeves at
all. This cape can be worn with a
street hat. 1t has no extra weight no
bulgy quality about 1t, and 1t makes
of her gown, no matter how informal
that may be, thing suitable for street,
indoor or country wear.
Sometimes this plated cape reaches
the waistline only, sometimes 1t is of
three-quarters length, and again 1t
reaches to the heels. But in each in
stance II is light in weight and extreme
ly graceful. so that whatever its ex-
preston or wherever II is worn, II be-
comes Il part of the costume. The
longer capes are likely to have fur col
lars and the shorter ones are provided,
In many instances, with collars Of their
own material, either tucked or plated.
They are tied In front with informal
bows of narrow ribbon and there is
really nothing about them to suggest
the formal. The long ones perhaps are
trifle more useful than those which
are shorter, because they can be worn
with evening as well as daytime
dresses, and this, of course. is some
thing not TO be scoffed at. 1t is in the
evening that light cape is most nee
essary for comfort, no matter how 1t
may be desired during the daytime
hours for good looks alone.
Is Generally Liked.
The plated dress Is popular with
all. An interesting gown has plated
apron In front and plated cape drop
ping from the shoulders. That is an
excellent example of the partially
plated dress which has made such a
hit this season. 1t can be plated in
other sections, for It can have plated
side panels, or plated sleeves, or
plated front and back sections In per
feet regularity. But If II is an ac-
cepted street or afternoon or evening
dress for this season 1t will have some
plating about 1t.
Plaitings do away with all necessity
for extra bits Of trimming because they
are trimmings in themselves. The
panels Of plaits, though they are made
of the same material as the gown, have
q way Of looking like so much trim
ming. There may be bit Of ribbon
o binding, or sash Of tulle, but in the

out the least attempt at being formal.
Then there Is the blouse which has a
plated plain panel In front and a print
ed silk underarm section that repeats
the silk used In the making of the
skirt. This is a clever adaptation Of
the vogue for plaits and one that will
be accepted by any woman who has in
mind the making over of frock that
may have seen better days.
Even coats are taking on the plated
vogue. They are showing hidden plaits
and those that appear on the surface
The coat for everyday. with plated
sleeves, has become quite factor In
style. 1t Is as plain as can be so far
as the body Of the garment is con.
cerned. When II comes to the sleeves
there is that fullness of plated stuE
which gives grace and charm and a
flowing line. For instance. there IL a
coat made Of light brown wool brocade
1t Is lined with orange crepe de chine
There are light brown chiffon sleeves
extraordinarily full, gathered into tight
little cuffs which start in wide, square
armholes, and at the cuffs there is a
fold Of the orange crepe peeping from
underneath--this to tie the two ma
terials together and to give the general
color scheme an excuse for being.
These sleeves are particularly attrac-
tive for evening wraps, but they are to
be found on street coats, as well, and
there are evening capes that show plain
surfaces with plated chiffon Innings to
help them.
Plated Hats Predomlnate.
AS for hats, they have more plaits
than all Of the dresses put together.
They seem to have taken to the idea
with enthusiasm, and women who have
decided to wear hats with plated trim
mings, or hats made entirely of plated
stuffs, say that they have never been
better satisfied. They find that plait-
ings, when applied to hats, are even
more successful than with dresses, and
that they give certain style worthy Of
any style of dress.
There are plated flares OF taffeta
silk applied as fans to the front Of
crowns. They are held together by
means Of rhinestone buckles or tied In
the center with knots and bows of their
own materials. They are used for trim
ming the backs of short-brimmed hats,
as much of the style of hat this sea
son is centered at the back. Some Of
the hats are more naive in the manner
of their appearance. They are trimmed
with plated ruchlngs that run around
the bases Of the crowns in more or less
thick masses. Sometimes they are made
of silk. again OF narrow ribbons, put on
in tiers, and again they are plated
chiffons and plated malines or laces.
which give to the hats that airiness Of
summer appearance which Is much to
be desired.
Some Of the little tight cloche shapes
have plaitings around the outer edges
of their brims. and these, Of course, are
done In narrow widths. with every at
