color as their evening gowns-at
least so 1000 hair dressers from
all over the world so decided to-

Thus If an evening dress of

the smart woman will be to have
her hair dyed a pleasing green
hue. and so also with red, brown,
silver and other colors.
The delegates who sponsored
this novel departure from ortho-

"dyeing" the hair temporarily
would not involve much time or
trouble, but declared that the
coloring material must be of such
character that it would wash out

raigned in Court

New York, March 1.-LP)-A mid
night duel with canes between two
wealthy brothers came to light today
when Colonel Edward Darlington.
aged 90, of Chicago, was arrested
charged with assaulting Campbell
Darlington, SO, New York lawyer,
whom he named in a million dollar
suit alleging alienation of his wifc's
affections.
The New York brother is in poiy
Clinic hospital suffering from
bruises and decorations of the face,
The Chicago brother faces arraign-
mcnt in west side court later in the
day.
Colonel Darlington, who weighs
around 200 pounds, told newspaper
men after his arrest that he came to
New York to get evidence in his suit
against his wife for absolute divorce
and also in the alienation action.
Manner Was Insulting
Accompanied by two detectives and
his lawyer, the colonel said he went
to his wife's house in West 74th
street and watched outside the door.
After a time his brother emerged
from the house. The colonel said
his brother asked: Are you look

Colonel Darlington continued, "his
manner was most insulting. And
this from man ! have named as CO.

Colonel Darlington said his broth

moment he was disarmed. But in
doing SO, and even before that, my
cane had come very smartly in con-
tact with his face"
Easy to Tell Who Won
~I'm on my feet" he declared
my brothers in the hospital. That.
gentlemen, may indicate who won the
conflict"
Mrs. Darlington, the colonel's wife,
declined to see newspapermen, but
over the telephone she said she did
not know that her husband had been
arrested or that Campbell Caring
ton was in a hospital II am not
very WE'LL" she said, "and l don't
care to discuss the case until | see
my lawyers"
The younger brother had first Wis
tied private physician, l~ho advised
him to go to the hospital. Campbell
appeared dazed and hospital authori-
ties called the police. Later he gave
information which led to the arrest.
Letter introduced
Colonel Darlington introduced, in
support of his charge that his wife
occupied an apartment with his
brother, letter which he attributed
TO his brother. The letter said:
II would give anything to have you
in my arms and hold you tight. l am
terribly hungry for you and it seems
like you have been away from me
for years. All my love and million
Kisses"
In asking alimony, Mrs. Darlington
said her husband had an income of
$4,000 a year, but he insisted it was
$4,000. She was awarded $500 a
week and counsel fees until the dis
pute is settled.
Colonel Darlington was also the
target of a suit filed by Miss Elinor
Snyder, his step-daughter, asking
$4,000 for personal injuries. She
charged he beat her.

relief for expenditure of more than
$1O,OO0,000 in erecting storage tanks
at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, under his

in the apartment but what appeared
ITO be blood stains were found on the
carpet between the rooms and the
bath. Also. police were unable to
