Crisp Material for Evening Wear
BY MARY MARSHALL.

and dark evening tones. Black satin
! combined with straSS or diamante Is
used for some of the most striking OF
| the evening gowns from the famous
| French dreSsmakerS. Lace is soft ana
fine, georgette is both plain and figured
and some of the new nets are edged
with chenille dots.
Sitter, crisper materials have been
predicted for evening wear and in every
representative gathering of fashionable
women some of these crisp materials
appear-taffeta, stiff satin and MORE.
But those who expected landslide
away from the softer, more drapable
materials must certainly have been dis
appointed.
The really good French dressmakers
never lose their heads with enthusiasm
for any one type of material. If a
friend in Paris writes to you saying
that every one" is wearing this ma
terial or that color or certain sort OF
ornament you may be sure that this
friend is not a close observer and has
an imperfect understanding of the aims
and aspirations of the artist dress
makers of France.
Moire silk has been used in a num-
Der of the most talked about of the new
French evening gowns, but certainly
every one is not wearing 1t, and II every
one were it would very speedily lose its
appeal.
A dainty little dressing jacket that
may also be used as bed jacket is de-
scribed in this weeks circular. 1t is
extremely simple and really most at
tractive If you have not finished all
your Christmas presents I am sure you
will find this helpful. SO please send me
your stamped, self-addressed envelope
and I will send the diagram and direc-
tions at once.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday. December 5.


Disconcerting vibrations are seen by
astrologers in tomorroW's horoscope,
which contains much of warning as
well as promise for those who read the
future in the stars.
While there is an aspect making for
vision and foresight, it Is wise to plan
rather than to act while the conf1gura-
ton prevails.
Obstacles of unexpected character
may arise to deter or even to frustrate
effort under this planetary government.
Patience should be cultivated at home
as we'll as in Office or shop.
Self-Control should be exercised in
matters great and small when the won1-
en- of ones family may appear unrea-
sonable.
The evening may be an auspicious
time for letters of Importance, confer
ences and friendly association.
News of terrific storms in Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick may be expected
this Winter.
Much suffering among the poor in
large cities is indicated and there should
be early preparation for special relief,
the SeerS announce.
Christmas time will be unusually feS-
tive, it is prophesied, and trade will be
extraordinarily heavy.
Dealers in gems and costly merchan-
disc that appeals to the wealthy will
profit greatly, if the stars are rightly
read.
Astrologers prognosticate the peak OF
trade in furs this year. when fortunes
will be spent for rare pelts.
In the swing Of fashions pendulum
backward cosmetics will be relegated to
the limbo of false hair and bustles, 1t
is foretold.
Persons whose birth date 1t is may
be subjected to severe losses and other
tests Of courage in the coming year,
which, however, promises much that
spells happiness.
Children born on that day probably
will be restless and fond of adventure.
Boys are likely to be rather radical N
theirs views and girls may be cXtraor-
dinarily independent in nature.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December A.
Hollywood blows its own horn. AT
recent dinner given by group of pro-
fessionals connected with movie making
and artist manufacture brilliant array
of writer's and hiStrionistS (three-dollar
word) were present.
Every one had to be allowed to make
a speech. If you think few of the
mcst notable could be asked and the
rest left in peace you are badly mis-
taken They were limited to three min
utes. Yet within the scope OF that l8O
seconds every one engaged in movie
making succeeded in telling the assem-
bled victims just what picture they
were now working on, or writing, or
titiing, or producing, and what picture
they had recently completed. And some
of them said that, due to the fact that
they were hurrying right on to make a
talkie during the midnight quiet, they
would have to be excused little early.
A talented and beautiful leading lady
who has just appeared in one Of the
most pretentiouS talkies yet to be made
here tells me she attended a profess
sional dinner the other night.
Her co-workers flocked about her
with words of praise. Extravagant en-
comiums were showered upon her. And
we'll within her hearing these came
people dropped back to conf1de in others
that the performance waS rotten"
"stilted." artificial" and just plain mo
good"
There is no group under the sun so
kind to scme one that is down than the
acting group. But" said the lucky
lady. ''they certainly can plant the gaf
in the successful ones"
The only mistake she made was in
limiting that to acting.
What are talkies doing to the Tai
madge girls? Connie Talmadge is on
the Riviera making a picture after a
year of idleness. And Norma has
slipped over to Europe to join her, leav-
ing quietly from the North, where she
had gone on a motor tour.
These sisters, together with Mary
Pickford and Anita Stewart, were
among the pioneers of movie ma ing.
They moved along at a triumphant
pace up to a twelvemonth ago.
But the movies suffered head-on
collision with progress. That change
affected the technique of the old-timers
far more than it can possibly affect the
newcomers who have not yet solidif1ed

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

December 4, 1800.-By a deed exc
cuted today, Henry Foxhall purchased
a tract of land about one mile
north of Georgetown from Francis
Deakins On this land Mr.. Foxhall in
tends to erect foundry for the manu-
facture of cannon for the Federal Gov
eminent
This event, occurring this same year
SO soon after the Federal Government
has moved to the new city on the
Potomac from Philadelphia, is regarded
by many citizens of this section and
elsewhere as confirmation of the opin-
ion already formed generally by persons
in this section, that the population and
business of the District Of Columbia
are certain to grow rapidly and that
the Federal city and Georgetown will
soon become commercial cities OF the
first Importance.
Mr.. Foxhall has been operating the
Eagle Iron Works in Philadelphia IN
association with Robert Morris, jr.
When the Federal Government entered
into contract with them year ago
last September for the manufacture OF
cannon, Mr.. Foxhall decided to move
his foundry here to be near the new
Federal seat.
With the removal here of all of the
executive departments, which led the
way from Philadelphia to the new city,
and now the arrival of President Adams
and Congress. the future of the city
looks very bright. This optimistic view
is taken not alone by persons in this
section, with whom the wish might well
be father to the thought, but by some
prominent business men in other parts
of this country, as well as in Europe.
Plans are under way for big real
estate development here, the money for
which will be furnished by such men
as Robert Morris of Philadelphia, who
is reputed to be the richest man in
the Nation, so far as the actual cur
rency at his command is concerned.
Several men from countries on the
other side of the Atlantic Ocean, who
are looking for an opportunity to in
vest their money in a growing COM
munity, are also expected to locate
here.

Donn Byrne was Irish. but his novels
and MIN dramas had won even greater
success In the United States than In
the British Isles. He was born In New
YORK OF Irish parents 80 years ago, and
received his education in the United
states, Ireland. Germany and France.
He was formerly on the stats of the
brooKlyn Daily Eagle and the New

Or recent years he has lived chiefly
on the continent and in the British

and serials to many of the prominent
American and British magazines. For
