White to Prevail
Next Two Seasons
Fashion Writer at Winter
Resorts Tells of Modes
in Limeli9ht.

Writing Of the styles that promise
10 prevail this spring and summer, a
fashion correspondent IN the New
York Times, who has made the rounds
Of winter resorts, says: r
Although this is a season of beau
tiful colors, white In of course worn
e1travagantly in every possible form
and fabric for every sort Of occasion.
Nothing Is ever more youthful and
lovely and fattering, and nothing else
SO well forgives any sighting In quail
ity or workmanship. The very sim
plest frock of all white, 80. 1t be cor
rect in style, with proper shoes, hat
and other accompaniment, il always
refreshing. This seasons frocks In
white are a delight and their variety
is amazing.
AS sports suit with the trim little
skirt plated or faring, tailored, the
conventional blouse and coat is the
first and most stable item in the ward
robe. This is severely plain this sea-
son, Of flannel, faille, roshanara or fine
twill, and the silhouette is absolutely
curveless. The overblouse, which is
part Of the suit, Is simple thing of
silk or crepe, held into wide hip
belt and Its sleeves are long, short, or
none at all.
The outfit beloved Of the flapper and
copied by many senior is the sports
skirt and sweater Of entertaining de-
Sign. These, with fiat beach shoes and
cloche or tan top, put the young
woman in the most becoming and COM
Portable harness for the days contests
and diversions.
Quite as popular are the one-piece
frocks, opening in the front, with wide
collar turning away from the neck,
long or short sleeves, belt and pockets.
Pockets. in fact, appear to be de
rigueur on all the morning dresses,
white or colored, and they add a note
of tailored smartness-even to the silk
frocks. Small buttons and stitched
bands also are used on some of these
informal dresses.
Next to white, the gentle shades,
something warmer than the pastels, in
blue, green, maize, apricot, salmon
and peach, are lovely in the one-piece
frocks. In some of the latest models
white is embroidered in one of these
colors-a one-piece gown Of white pop
lin, for example, trimmed with bands
of needlework or stitched embroidery
In color.
Contrasts Are Startling.
In occasional models these contrasts
are startling. In one the tunic blouse
is Of maize-colored crepe-the flounce,
knee length, of white crepe, in fine
plaits-and the square neck and wrist
bands of the long sleeves are trimmed
with embroidery in maize silk.
A striking model in the one-piece
gown is made of fine, heavy quality
white fiat crepe. An arabesQue pat
tern Of black cloth cut in wide strips
is appliqued over the entire frock.
With this is offered parasol of white
silk. on which a great wide-winged
blackbird is stamped. the handle and
frame being of light bamboo cloche
Of white taffeta and straw, and shoes
of white kid with narrow buckled
straps of patent leather.

dresses Is one of muslin embroidery

GENERAL REbUKES
! H|BBEN'S COUNSEL
Objects to Statement That
Court-MartiaI Is Like
"ProSecution."
BY the Associated Press

| BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December Brig.
Gen. William Barclay Parsons,
u. s. A., president of the Military
Trial Board investigating the fitness
of Capt. Paxton Hibben to retain his
commission in the Officers Reserve
Corps, administered a rebuke to Col.
John ]. Bradley, U. S. A, chief counsel
for Capt. Hibben, at the resumption
OF the tribunals sittings last night.
The session followed a recess of
several weeks during which records
and exhibits comprising more than
1000 pages were prepared. Capt
Hibben. who is a writer is accused
of holding opinions inconsistent with
the retention of his commission.
The rebuke followed an appeal for
adjournment made by Col Bradley,
who said he had had no opportunity
of reviewing the evidence previously
given because of the "garbled" con-
dition of the record. During his re-
marks he referred to the proceedings
as prosecution" to which Gen
Parsons took exception.
Objects to "Prosecution."
Il must insist that this hearing not
be called prosecution" the pre-
siding officer admonished.
You can't stop me from saying
what 1 think it is and / have the
right to designate it as 1 see fit" re-
torted Col. Bradley, who appeared at
the hearing despite an attack of the
grippe.
The result of the exchange was
private conference between Gen. Par
sons and his two associates on the
trial board. Col. Francis w. Perry
and Maj. Gordon Reel, after which
the general addressed the colonel:
The board desires me to say that
Il appreciates the fact you are not
feeling well this evening, but it ex-
poets here and at future hearings
that you conform to the etiquette of
military board and give it due con-
sideration."
Protests nt Rebuke.
Col Bradley then protested against
the spreading of the rebuke on the
record, saying he had been too long
in the military service not to know
etiquette and also his rights before
a military board. He then proceeded
by calling to the stand Charles
Recht. an attorney for the Russian
Soviet government, as a witness for
Hibben
Recht denied that he made q prac-
tice of defending anarchists as De-
tective Sergt. Herman of the New
York police bomb squad had previ-
ously testified. He said he had known
Capt. Hibben for three or four years
and had heard him make an appeal
for financial aid for the children Of
Russia.
On behalf of Hibben, there was in
troduced letter from United States
Senator william f. Borah, chairman
of the committee on foreign relations.
to the effect that the Senate hearing
on the recognition of Soviet Russia
had not yet been concluded and
therefore no recommendation had
been made

THE confusion Of the frontiers
