When you hear that Paddock was beaten you know what the philosopher meant when he said. the race is not always to the swift" The great Carpenter will next take or Mir.

 The players have always found him more than willing 10 work with them and under hts direction they have had some good schedules. Riyal managers also found in March a good man with whom 10 do busi- ness.
 His temporary successor, "Butsct" Han is no novice at the game and should prove a capable substitute.
 The majority Of the sport critics in this mornings London new wspspcrs agree that Miss Wills vas mainly de- feated yesterday ty the unfamiliar conditions of the English climate and courts. and especially the difference between iie American and English balls. Considerable doubt is expressed whether she will he able to win through to the final of inc coming championship tournament 10 meet Suzanne LenElen. tho worlds chan- pion. The critics of yesterdays play do not consider that Milo. lcnrlcn has any reason to fear her. One writer says: "To speak Of her as a rival of Lenslcn savers of crass stu- pidiiy."

Excitement has been running high over at Phillips this past week over the election of company sponsors in that unit of the R. O. T. c.

broidered with the same green and white beads.
 Another beautiful model was seen among evening dresses. It was of black georgette and embroidered in roses of pearls with rhinestone centers and crystal beads forming the leaves. The back of the dress has panel which widened at the low waist line and came around on the front of the skirt. The panel formed a point at the middle of the bottom of the skirt which hung be- low the rest of the hem line. The neck was round, cut low in the back and high in the front, which was outlined in pearls, as well the arm holes and back panel.
 An afternoon dress was made of ashes of rose crepe, straight, with no waist line, as nearly all of the dresses are made. A wide band of braid em- broidery is used at the bottom of the skirt with flowers appliqued of mole fur. Touches of mole are used on the long sleeves and neck.
 At another shop another afternoon dress is built of brocaded crepe in light grayish blue color. It is made coat effect with the tunic coming al most to the bottom of the skirt, and was banded in gray flying squirrel. A high fur collar and long sleeves banded in fur completed the effect. The tunic was outlined with four bands of rose soutache braid and at waist line over each hip the rose braid added a touch of color.
 A new silk material is now in vogue for afternoon and street dresses. The only color at present is black as it is in an imported material primarily, only one factory making it in America and they are perfecting colofs for spring time. It is called "Luminette" and is oi heavy weave. One dress of this ma terial was made on the straight lines with slight gatherings at each hip, and the waist line is not high. The only trimming is small tailored bows of black groSsgrain ribbons in rows up two-thirds of the skirts. There was a rolled back collar with an inner collar of flesh satin finished with a narrow gold braid. Short sleeves completed this costume.
 Another dress of this material is an ensemble costume with a Roman stripe under front with the coat dress effect being held together by a single button at the waist line.
 An evening dress which caught the eye on account of it's simplicity and also because of the striking effect was made of black crepe back satin with a round neck and no sleeves. It is close fitting and straight with two-thirds of the skirt a circular flare. Six large French blue roses with a silver leaf on each side are the only ornament and they encircle the top of the flare.
 A beautiful evening dress is made of tangerine and mauve chiffon velvet made straight with three French flares in the front of the skirt, two of chiffon velvet and the center one of plain tan, gerine chiffon. An attractive rhine, stone ornament holds spray of tange. rine ostrich feathers on the left side.

If she is wise, she will see to it that she makes her best and most flatterlng impression in this apparel.
 To create an attractive. evening frock or one for afternoon is much easier than one in which one Will De charming and original with the light of day. The dainty materials with the cloud of flimsy tulle or the soft, cling ing fabric or color with the help oI the electric light is much more becoming. But the utility dress must bear the test of the daylight and bear the keenest in spection and comparison. 1t IS an old and true saying that anybody can make ball gown, but It takes an artlsC to build a street dress.
 The principal reason for the all around costume is that the women are living more in the public, on the street, in business and in the shops than ever before.
 The old-time tendency to wear "any old thing has given place to far more care in the selection of sport cloths and the everyday frock.
 The changes seen in the tailor suits are perhaps more radical than in any of the other gowns.
 The street dress of the present vogue is most attractive, stylish, artistic, graceful and chic, and very cleverly adapted to almost every figure.
 It is no longer made of cloth, but in any number of the new materials. Velvets, wOolens, silks, crepes and with almost any other material with which the creator may get the best results The idea of the ensemble gown IS per haps the most popular. Prominent houses in Birmingham are now glvlnG their best to the practicable all-day gown, or the ensemble.
 The modish street dress now is in yariably in ensemble form. One ot these frock, with a coat in sufficient weight to meet the needs of the season, lineC with the same goods as the dress, oI with something which is introduced 1T some harmOnizing shade. There IS har mony in all the fall cloths, the hats shoes, gloves, hose, every accessory blends perfectly.
 It Is said that the Paris wOmel devised an attire in which woman could appear properly gOwned at an! hour of the day at any time. She | seen during the morning shopping, a luncheon. at tea, at some informal plac for dinner, or at the play wearing tn same outfit. But always her coiffure her gloves and her scarf were fresh ant in keeping with her costume. This cos tune is the ensemble.
 Women have never been more smart ly gowned than at this season. As tn season for gay parties approaches tn evening dress attracts the eye. In on of the most fashionable stores are seei the loveliest creations in the way o evening gowns.
 One of the creations in white eve ming is made on straight lines witt round neck and no sleeves. A small ros motif in green and white beads is em broidered on the heavy white satin ma terial of the skirt and is banded witt white fur at the bottom. A cape of tn same white satin with fur collar an fur band at the bottom IS also em
