UNITED Pressle'-what clothes will
I need for a weekend holiday" a
young "noveau richie" asked me the
other day.
And surely this is indeed a ques-
ton that should not be lightly an.
swered. week-ends are becoming
quite as popular in America as they
are in England and the clothes
questions is m that requires care
full consideration.
In the first place, there Is luggage
to consider. One hesitates to carry
too many cases and grips lest the
hostess imagine one has come pre-
pared for a long stay. Again. too
many clothes give the impression
that one has left nothing in the
home wardrobe. A large suitcase
a small hat box and a small over
night case fitted with paraphernallA
for the dresser should be adequate
for the week-end's needs. Owing
to the crushable sports hats one
can dispense with the hat box.

One sets out on the Journey dressed
in a smart little sports suit of
tweed. Jersey or the like and this
settles the dress question until tea
time. when one changes to a little
frock of crepe de chine or a frock
suitable for tea served out on the
lawn or on the porches. The type
of tea-gown is far simpler thar
those worn at the smart places in
the city.
From this one changes to the din
ner gown and one should again be
careful not to o~verdress. Gowns of
the semi-evening type with a sembs
lance of sleeve are always sure to
be in good taste. One may wear
a tiny cap sleeve or a chiffon drapo
of some sort, but the gown that is

the dinner hour. Unless there are
other evening guests arriving for a
dance or bridge. this dress viii carry
one on through the evening. In
advent Of an evenings party, one
changes to the formal evening

For Morning Wear
For morning wear one consults
the weather. A sultry morning ne

on simple lines and worn with

LEAGUE RIGHT
IN DISPUTE TO
Be DISCUSSED

GENEVA. Sept. 17.-Discussion in
the council of the League of Nations
of the question of the leagues COM
Potency in the dispute between Italy
and Greece was postponed until to-
morrow after speeches today by
Signor Salandro and M. Politis, the
representatives respectively of Italy
and Greece.
HJalmer Branting of Sweden de-
clared the italian occupation of
Corfu was contrary to the provisions
of the league covenant and might
establish a dangerous precedent. af-
fecting the prestige OF the league.
Lord Robert Cecil said the council
had done everything it should have
done in the Greco-Italian controversy
and had seized upon every means
to obtain a settlement. which, he
added, was the great object set forth
in the covenant. The council very
properly had not rushed the matter
but had collaborated with the con
ference Of ambassadors in Paris.
Lord Robert admitted that the
question of the leagues competency,
which had been raised by Italy. was
grave and could not be left unset
tied. He appealed to the league and
to Italy to reach a solution which
would not infringe the national
pride of Italy and at the same time
would leave unimpaired the author
ity of the league. upon which to a
great extent he believed the future
hopes Of the world were conferred.

HOUSES
ARE NUMEROUS
THRU ENGLAND
Landlord Business Not
AS Good There as in
This Country.
BY LYLE G. WILSON

United Press Staff Correspondent-)
LONDON. Sept. 17.-O d
Press.SHouse for rent!
The foregoing words couldn't be
sweeter II they were set to the music
Of Wagner or rhymned in the lifting
phrases of Swinburne.
England's cities are becoming
speckled over with the enchanting
little signs that proclaim this. that
and the other house for rent.
Real estate agents are becoming
polite and anxious. The tired house
wife can view dozens of houses be-
fore she makes a choice. and then
change her mind with the certain
knowledge that she can always OBJ
tain a roof TO shelter her family.
1t is all because the English rent
laws have been revised. The re-
vision which has accomplished this
miracle of producing vacan houses
where none were vacant before is
a result of the landlords objections
to the wartime rent laws.
Under the old system a landlord
might OWL ever so many houses and
yet not have a roof yer his own
head. The stringent law protected
the renter 80 thoroughly that It
often left the landlord literally out
in the cold.
That is changed now. The land
lord. after due process of law. can
evict his tenants. He could evict
them under the old law. but the
laws process was usually too much
for the owner.
Houses vacated under the new
law are either gobbled up by the
or put up for rental a
higher rental.
Still, the houses are there If you
can pay the price.
After the shake-up incidental to
evictions raised rents and new ten
ants is ended. the house shortage
will probably be more acute as well
as more expensive to the renter than
ever before.
Meantime, the Government hns
stepped forward with n subsidy
scheme to encourage house building.
The outer fringes of London's sub
urbs have about as much old world
appearance as q boom town in Okla
homa-
New tiles. bricks and fresh-turned
dirt provide first hand evidence that
the Governments subsidy is getting
houses built.
