New York. Oct. 1O.-Crowned heads

heads which wear n cloche hat are
not so affected for their owners rest

When it comes to daytime millin-
cry this autumn. say "cloche" and the
case is closed for the small hats have
achieved n remarkable popularity Cd
both sides of the Atlantic.
Perhaps the greatest difference be-
tween those designed on the Rue de
la PAX and those turned out on Fifth
avenue lies in the simplicity Of the
French models.
American designers in many in.
stances have not been content with
grace, simplicity and Il. tistic handling
of colors and materials but have added
supnrfluity of trimmings. usually
in the shape of feathers which the
European models seem we'll able to do
without.
Only second in Importance to the
hat in the pre- mt day outdoor cos
tunes is the scarf or rather the
multiplicity of scarfs for a few ward

Fashion Gives Complete
Approval of Cloche Hats

Deauyille kerchief, Of mems silk muf

In one respect, however, they are

around the neck with the ends float

Some beautiful sets have been de-
signed consisting of cloche, scarf
and muff. all matching.
One such set, recently imported,
has for materials, black satin heavily
embroidered in gold in Persian de-
signs which are exact reproductions
of ancient manuscripts.
The crown of the little hat is al
most solid mass of the gold en-
broidery set off by long black heron
feather posed at the back and droop-
ing over the left shoulder.
The scarf is wide with square ends
which also are heavily embroidered
and the muff is of the bolster type.
Some of the scarfs have handy lit
tie pockets for mirror. powder puff
and lipstick at the ends, while others
carry large involved monographs in
embroidery of contrasting colors.
Kasha, velour delaine and the crepe
weaves are favorite materials for
these sets.
Slaves of fashion are firmly held
today in the meshes of the veil and
few street costumes are complete
without this accessory which is used
almost as frequently for hat trim
mings as to cover a portion of the
face.
The most popular types are from
six to nine inches in width.

In many the body of the veil is of

Head dresses are more elaborate

so low that they hide at least a por-

In most instances the broad bands
are beaded and jeweled.
One such bandeau is of gray satin,
thickly sewn with steel beads and
surrounds the head and brows exact

Another gives the appearance from
the front of n high cossack cap loop

covered with beads and brilliants is
completed by high stiff black vel

the top of the head from ear to ear.

Mexico City. Oct. 1O.-The Vene.

enough TO merit FORMAL statement,
according to Senor Sacnz, sub-secre-
tary in charge of the foreign office.
Mexico. he said, has taken steps,
which include the severance of diplo-

the purpose of ending an annoying
state of affairs and is not disposed
to complicate matters further.
Senior Saenz added that the refusal
of Venezuela to admit Mexican opera

publicity.
