 A window filled with small hats of white felt proves the popularity of these hats for summer wear. One very smart model had oak leaves of the felt cut away from the crown and then put back again with a narrow edge of open work showing around the leaves.

Davis Friday to probate judge E. J. Garrison of Clay county Judge Garrison had inquired as to whether both the fee of two and a half cents and the clerical assistance referred to would be due the probate judges
 In his opinion Attorney General Davis pointed out that the list of quail fled electors to be furnished election inspectors is different from the list of names of persons registered by the board of registrars and held that the probate judges are entitled to receive the fee and the clerical help provided for the two phases of their work.

DEF LEGATIONS OF CHRISTIAN
 TOTAL Sl,5OO,OOO
Full Loss To Day And HeatOn Is Placed At
 $2,5OO,OO0

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The de- falcations of George E. Christian, miss- ing partner of the bankrupt brokerage firm of Day and Heaton, amounted to $1 500, 900 in cash and securities. As sistant District Attorney Richard H. Gibbs, announced this afternoon.
 MT. Gibbs said Christian had taken this amount before disappearing, but that the total loss to the firm, includ- ing working capital, profits and customers securities, could be estimated at $2,500,000. The loss previously had been placed at $700,000.
 The assistant district attorney made his statement after he had questioned W. W. Heaton and R. H. Day and James H. Waterbury, the other part ners.
 Mir. Gibbs said the firm was con- vinced that Christian took customers securities to speculate on his own ac- count.
 "The members of the firm do not know what accounts Christian had" Mir. Gibbs asserted, outside of two which appear on their books under the names of Milford and Fellows. They believe these two accounts are fakes. They don't know his methods"
 The first word of Day and Heaton's financial difficulties came several days ago when the firm informed the stock exchange that it was unable to meet it's obligations because of Christians de- falcations.
 Mir. Waterbury, according to Mir. Gibbs, said that the firm had received communication from Christian dis closing the thefts, but that the firm had not made the letter public be- cause they at first believed the loss would be small and that it could be made up without publicity.

The WeU-Dressed Man
FOR EVENING FUNCTIONS
By Benunash EVERY OCCASION
THE oasis moments of life, dedicate

TyHE oasis moments of life, dedicated | to gay and gracious leisure, are not enjoyed by many men, either because they habituaiIy deny themselves the pleasure of wearing evening clothes or because they are never quite certain that they are correctly turned out. The traditional rules governing evening dress are simple and easily remembered. The only colors permitted are black-and- white, with the single exception, per haps, of very dark-gray shading into black which may be used in the suit or waistcoat.
 Here are the essentials and inciden- tals of smart Tuxedo dress for the sea son of 1924-1925. The suit should be of black unfinished worsted or some soft black fabric either plain or with self pattern in the weave, such as a cord, bird's-eye, a stripe, shadow check, herringbone and the like. In- asmuch as the design is executed in black upon black, it is, of course, prac- tically invisible save upon close inspec- tion. Therefore, do not try to avoid a so-called fancy" pattern. It is just a trifle more fashionable than the plain one. Either the notched collar on the shawl collar is proper and the jacket may be either single-breasted or dou- ble, as best sets off your figure and best pleases your taste.
 Going right down the line from head to foot, wear either the black derby or the black, lightweight soft hat (shown here) or the black velour having a full crown, undented at the sides, and a broad brim. Wear the wing collar never the follower shape. Wear the black bow-knot tie, never the white tie. Wear the tie-ends over. or under the wings of the collar, according to which effect looks best on you. Wear the

 Who were they? Mysteries. Some. how, those closed houses were pene- trated by the melody. Coins clinked on the pavement.
 We are being continentalized. Not so long ago our only street music was furnished by the little German bands, with the assistance of Italian organ grinders and their monkeys.
