When the heat Of battle sub
sides, Il seems to be fairly obvious
that the Commoner has been
among those present, popular or
not. He wanted a League refer

He wanted farm planlks, and they

Nevertheless, the Socialists in the

Their own party Is in q disrupted

are totally dissatisfied with La

They want to get into that new
third party. They therefore In

the creation Of that new party.
Disagreeing with La Toilette IN

YELLOW, ORANGE IS
FASHION EDICT IN
COLOR FOR FROCKS
BY HEDDA HOYT
(Fashion Editor of United press)

NEW YORK, Feb. 1J.-Palm
Beach styles cast shadows before
them! And Palm Beach follows the
color scheme of the orange and the
grapefruit this season; it is safe to
prophcsy that spring will see much
of these colors.
Erocks for sports wear aS well as
those that gather nightly range from
the palest of yellow TO the vivid
tones of the .tangerine orange. Even
the green stem of the fruit IS bor-
lowcd by the fashionables rs col
or combination for the yellow or
orange frock.
Hosiery, jewelry and gown acces-
sorics all carry out the vogue for
yellow, orange and rust.
Frocks of yellow linen are seen in
numbers, trimmed in black and worn
with yellow hosiery and black slip
pcrs. Wide yellow leghorns and
horse-hairs use black ribbon flowers
and ornaments. Parasols of yellow
have black borders and handles.
Long skirts are in the majority for
evening gowns, although for day
time wear skirts are quite short
again.
If one is to forecast spring styles
by those worn at Palm Beach at
preent, one can be certain that short
sleeved frocks have not had their
day. They are worn for morning as
we'll as for afternoon functions and
sometimes the frock is absolutely
sleeveless.
Many Of the summer frocks have
little tape loops attached to the
shoulder seams with snapper adjust
ment so that ones lingerie straps
can be held in place. This eliminates
the trouble Of having to constantly
attend to ones understraps. These
little tape affairs with snappers can
be purchased at the notion counters
Of many stores.

dred thousand dollars in Canadian
