GRAND JURY WILL
 KEEP ? UPITS WORK
Probably Won't End Medical Probe for Several Months

Hartford, Jan. 14.--The extraor- dinary grand jury which has been in yestigating the operation in Connecti- cut of the alleged diploma mills graduates will not complete Its. work for several months, 1t was declared today. In fact it is not considered likelythat the jury will be in actual if not continuous session until the next general assembly session when it is expected new medical practice act which will be adopted which will be adequate to meet the situation in Connecticut.
 1t Is the plan of the grand pury with the approval of the superior court under direction of which the jury is operating, to continue in ses- sion through the summer and fall months, adjourning from time to time to permit the members to care for their own individual business affairs and also to permit investigators to keep up with the progress that is made in the probe of the fake doc tors and practitioners in the state. This will place the grand jury in the posi- ton of acting as watch dog' of the public health until the legislature, with full knowledge of what has de- veloped since the start of the probe, will be in a position to.enact legisla- tion which will prevent a recurrence of the conditions in the state which made the calling of the grand jury necessary.
 Benedict M. Holden. foreman of the grand jury. will be in Washing ton this week and it is expected he will at that, time be in conference with Senator Copeland of New York with reference to the probe of fake doc tors. Senator Copeland was instru- mental in having a federal investisa- tion started of the alleged operation of diploma mills, and as much infor- nation in this respect has been gathered by the grand jury in Con- necticut it is expected the New York senator will seek information on that point.

 Hughes Makes Defense
 Political appointments to high dip lomatic posts are justified, in the opinion of Secretary Hughes. because distinguished men, in touch with Am erican life, can be recruited in this way to represent the United States abroad.
 Appearing before the house foreign affairs committee today in support of the Rogers bill to reorganize the diplomatic and consular services, the secretary said he realized there had been criticism of the failure of the government to more frequently pro- mote men in the diplomatic service to the rank of minister or ambassa- dor.
 "I am always gratified when such a post can be filled by the promotion of some trained men," said Mir. Hughes, but at best only few va- cancies can be filled in this manner. You can imagine the political pres- sure that Is brought to bear to have appointments given to someone out side the diplomatic service. There are grounds for giving ini- portant assignments 10 men fresh from private life. They have usually distinguished themselves in some cal- ling, arc familiar with conditions in the United States and American problems In general. and are not un- der the handicap Of having been abroad for some years and conse- auently out Of touch with affairs at home"

Fringe and the Scarf
Two Graees of the Mode,

The scarf in its numerous forms

the back and is either draped
around the neck or allowed 10
hang in cascading ends. Frequent
ly it is a continuation, at the right
side, of revere-like collars and IS
in a contrasting color to the dress
with which it is worn. Suit jack
cts and long coats have narrow
scarf collars, with one side of the
collar only continuing in a scarf
like end.
Fringe is extensively used as a
trimming on afternoon and eve
ming dresses. Lacet fringe in sew

sometimes forming a pointed de-
sign on the skirt and bodice, some
times edging TUNES and flounces
and, again, finishing scarf ends or
forming deep borders on skirts.
Drecoll continues to show the
short jacket, usually in contrast
ing material and color to the
dress it accompanies. A very at
tractive sports costume has its
jacket in bright yellow wool, with
a deep band of embroidery in red
and green at the bottom. 1t is
worn with a dress Of white wool.
The same embroidery design Of
the jacket appears in motif form
on the left side of the dress, from
which point is suspended a finely
pleated panel.
Black predominales throughout
the line, followed closely by light
and dark tintings of brown. Reds
vivid crimson and dull rust
hue-navy blue and bottle green,
all come in for more than their
accustomed attention. Like every
other Paris couturler, this de-
signer features all white and a
combination of black ard white
in some of his effective formal
frocks.

the tunic being edged with a wide
bias puff Of the satin. Combina-
tions of lace and tullc in the form
of draperies and volants are much
seen. Cobweb laces are orna-
mented with tiny colcred and
metal beads, the colored beads
usually matching the shade of the
silk which forms the foundation of
the dress.
Many of the evening frocks OF
chiffon or tulle are very long at
the back, just touching the ground,
and are slightly shorter in front.
Narrow ribbon streamers in sew
eral colors are a favorite trimming
fer this type of dress, as are flow
irg panels and scarfs. Painted
chiffon in cubist and geometrical
designs is not infreQuent.
Nearly every evening dress
shown has its accompanying head
dress, either of rhinestones and
pearls in coronet style or of long
festoons of pearls, all white or
white and black combined. Again.
there are three skeleton ostrich
feathers touching the shoulder at
the left side, each feather a diff
ferent shade of one color, such as
rose, yellow or green. Rhinestones
and silver braid form the head
band, which, in turn, is draped
with festoons of silver pearls.
Others are embroidered with
rhinestones and emeralds or rhine
stones and rubies, and are in coro-
net form, the point OF the coronet
bending back and almost touching
the head.

Two Different Materials or

according to the dictates from
Paris, may be long OF short, loose
or tight, voluminous or entirely
absent.
Jenny is quite impartial in her
collection. She features the very
short sleeve, the very long one
and none at all. The long sleeves
are tight fitting tC the elbow,
from where they develop into a
combination of the hell shape and
the gauntlet cuff. They fit close
ly about the wrist and then flare
gradually to halfway between the
wrist and the elbow. At this point
they are joined to the three-quar-
tiers long bell-shaped upper. These
sleeves are frequently made of
two materials or two colors of the
same material. The gauntlet por-
ton may be trimm ID with rows of
tiny buttons, as on the central fig
ure at the bottom of the page.
Chanel is equally tolerant. Her
models show sleeves which are
long or short, loose or tight fit
ting. Her inclinations are slightly
partisan in the direction of the
moderately loose sleeve, which is
finished with a narrow wristbsnd.
A very tailored, trim effect is
achieved through the setting in of
the sleeves exactly at the shoulder
line.
Agnes makes no secret of her
preference for the short sleeve,
occasionally set in. and OCCASION
ally cut in kimono style. A fes-
ture of this type is the small turn
back cuff, which matches the col
lar of the dress. rhe infrequent

signer's showing are invariably
bell shaped.

modish the frock. The most un-
usual model on this page. an eve
ming gown by Philippe ct Castor,
is chiefly distinguished by reason
Of its being developed in printed
cotton cretonne. Crystal bugles
and gold beads outline the pat
tern and fill in the white ground
of the cretonne, giving a novel
and pleasing effect. At the righr
side the skirt shows a full godet,
which adds flare to an Other

Fullness Massed at Side
In Shirrings and Folds.

Straight chemise dresses with "a
circular movement IN front, given
through two TERED flounces or
apron effects, are also featured.
Often the fullness is massed at one
side in the form Of soft folds or
shirrings. Again a sort Of circu-
lar frill will start from the Shout
Ger, at the back, and extend for
ward and cascade down the right
side to the hem of the dress.
Sleeves are long or else there
are none at all. When present
they are tight-fitting, finished
with flaring cuffs and trimmed
with buttons or a shaped piece of
the material. Often they are in
bell shape, which form is seen ill
most of the afternoon dresses as

Several evening models show

note of ornamentation. These
panels appear on the skirt, hung

'Pleats are an accepted fact IN
spring fashions-tht:r vogue even
extends to the line-adhering lin
gerie of the present season. A
staunch exponent Of this decorat-
i've note is Jeanne Lanvin, who
emphasizes every type Of pleat.
Her street dresses and tailored
suits show skirts which are either
entirely pleated or pIeated only in
panel effect. This designer makes
a careful distinction in the width
of the pleats, varying them ac-
cording to the weight of the ma
terial. Silk skirts, as an example,
are far more finely pleated than
wool.
In street costumes showing
blouse and skirt attached the
pleated front panel of the skirt
extends onto the blouse to a
height which is slightly above the
normal waist. The remaining por-
ton of the skirt is usually mount
ed at low line in order to inter-
rupt the monotony of the straight
around low waist. Short box jack
cts are worn with costumes OF
this type.

on at an exceptionally low waist
line. Diamond shaped motifs of
fine black braid run down the
center front of the long bodice
and cover the line which joins the

ming appears on ire reveres at
the neck.
From Jenny comes an interest
ing combination of panels, illus
trated in the black alpaca model
sketched at the bottom of the
page, the second figure. The dress
is chemise, straight and narrow,
and shows the line broken in the
front by two narrow panels placed
one above the other, in steplike
formation. The neck is square
being outlined by a hand of white
crepe de chine. Al the left side

The high light Of the Drecoll
spring collection is reflected in
his adroit manipulation of trim
ming detail and fabric. The sill
houette conforms to what has be-
come an axiom throughout the sa-
Ions of Paris, yet Il is often clev-
erly disguised by means of the
skillful combination of panel,
pleat and cloth.
Drecoll keeps to the slim,
straight line, showing many belt
less models, although the majority
have either some sort of hanging
drapery or else plated and shaped
flounces that tend &c give an eff
feet of fullness. Frequently \
shaped circular tunic will be
placed across the back only, thus
reversing the general trend Of
placing the superimposed dra-
peries in the front or at the sides
This idea is noted on dres ses, suits
and coats. The circular flouncf
usually buttons onto the dress al
the side front, the edges hanging
in straight line.
