A perennial favorite returns in
simple gowns of black satin, some of
them sleeveless, like those shown in
the picture. These are tailored types,
but, being sleeveless, they are very
adaptable and will see one through a
summer afternoon and evening. The
frock at the left has bloused bodice
and long shoulder. Fine embroider-
ed batiste, in collars or trimming
touches, as shown in the gown at the
right, is a charming finish for the
black satin afternoon frock. But the
neck treatment may be changed for
evening wear. A tulle scarf, flower
on the shoulder or a bit Of jewelry
may do the trick and convert day
frock into evening dress. This is one
good reason for the appeal of black
satin.

The Death of Kitten

Philadelphia, March S.-(AP)-
Teddy" Belmont fox terrier, went
on trial in police court today charged
with wilfully chasing and shaking to
death a six-months-old kitten. If con-
victed, the law will exact it's severest
penalty, Police Magistrate Glenn de-

Of a murder case and is expected to
hinge on the findings Of a post-mortem
examination of the Kittens body,
which was ordered coday disinterred
for that purpose.
The case, prosecuted by James G.
Spear, owner Of the kitten, at the IN
stance Of the Society for the Proven

opposing character witnesses" and
the legal gestures typical of court
proceedings.
In defense of Teddy and Of Almer D.
Witt, his owner, who is charged with
cruelty, Mrs. Thomas Sproul, presi-
dent of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the S
P. c. A., testified she had known Teddy
since puppyhood and had never seen
him chase cats or display desire to
attack them. Opposing her was Harry
Lepper, supervising agent for the So
ciety, who declared ANY terrier is q
killer. and the fact that he did not re-
veal his disposition on certain occa-

ranks of the woman tennis stars
along the Riviera are thinning rap
idly. The definite withdrawal today
Of Senorita De Alvarez of Spain from
Nice leaves Helen Wills, the Ameri-
can champion, without an opponent
in this event who can give her much
of battle.
Miss Wills herself was suffering
from q heavy cold and decided not
to play today. She will have three
matches tomorrow, meeting Miss
Helen Shirles and Miss Sallie May
nard in singles in the morning, and,
paired with Charles S. Kingsley OF
England, playing Mr.. and Mrs. De-
bruyn in mixed doubles in the after
noon.
Senorita De Alvarez, considered to
rank in a class just behind Suzanne

sification of the worlds woman
players, announced today she would
stay out of tennis competition for
several months on account of poor
