TRANSPARENT
WRAPS OF
VELVET
They Are Popular For
Afternoon and Evening
Wear
By WILMA LA.VILLE

EORMALITY has won again
l. in the great popularity Of
velvet wraps for afternoon and
evening. Not that we haven't
had them before, but this years
velvet wraps are softer, more
feminine than those Of other
seasons, and their sudden and
early favor Is significant.
For formal afternoon it's smart
to slip q transparent velvet coat
over your printed chiffon. It
will be threequarter length,
with sleeves. This is more def
nitely an afternoon coat than
any type we've had for some
time, as the velvet coats Of
other seasons have sometimes
been worn for other occasions.
This coat is most often in black,
or in dark tone to match a
color In the print. AS summer
comes on they will be in pas
tells.
This coat, of course, may be
used as an informal evening
wrap, but is not a general eve
ming wrap, as there are little
waist-length and hip-length
wraps Of taffeta, MORE, velvet
or chiffon for formal evening
wear in summer, following the
trend toward more specialize
ton In clothes for the occasion.
The transparent velvet eve
ming wrap for now and for sum-
mer is a shoulder cape, three
quarter length, pulled up about
the hips in a graceful line. It
Is well fitted about the shout
ders, with plenty Of space for
elbows, and is long enough for
q bit Of warmth. This wrap
is often in black, or in pastels
to match or harmonic with
the gown. OF course they will
be Just as smart all summer
as they are now.
These wraps are charac-
terized by soft bows, Grapes.
or other feminine details that
make them strictly afternoon
and evening types, and which
are very flattering and formal.
They are lined with soft sheer
silk.
The sudden and enthusiastic
favor that these little wraps
are now enjoying indicates that
they will increase in popularity,
and probably be leaders for
their time Of day as the season
advances.
Monday Miss La Vile will
show some of the new silk
coats for summer. She will be
glad to answer any question
about these articles or about
your fashion problems If you
will write, enclosing a self
addressed, stamped envelope,

issues and his fight was governed by
local conditions.
In Massachusetts, where there was
severe political contest on both Safe
and national tickets, the entire Repub-
lican membership was reelected to the
Lower House of Congress.
In New York. in spite of the sensa-
tional victory of Gov. Roosevelt. who
was reelected by something like TOO 600
majority, the Republican congressional
strength was not reduced. In Ohio,
as in Illinois, the fight was not upon
administrative issues, but upon the wet
and dry controversy.
The reduction Of Republican strength
was less than has characterized any
mid-term election In periods of popular
emotion during the memory OF this
generation. The present tariff bill has
caused less resentment than any tariff
measure adopted within the last so
years. 1t will be remembered that in
the mid-term election of Grover Cleve-
lands administration, the resentment
over the Wilson tariff bill changed a
Democratic majority in the Lower
House to Republican majority OF 100
members.
Prior Reyolts Recalled.
The revolt against the Payne-Ald-
rich bill in 1910 so weakened the Re-
publican strength in the House that it
led to the defeat of Cannon and the
election of Champ Clark as Speaker
The revolt in the congressional election
in 1918, after the late President Wilson
had asked for the election of Demo-
cratic Congressman, led to an over
whelming Republican majority in Con-
gresS
In the present election there have
been few surprises. The administration
representation in the Senate has been
reduced. The election of Senator Dick
inson of Iowa reduces their loss. The
returns are not yet sufficiently ta3u-
lated to indicate exactly what has hap
pened in the Lower House, but enough
Is known to develop the fact that the
party situation has not been reversed
materially.
Massachusetts,, which constituted the
Massachusetts, which constituted the
real alignment of the contest and had
little to do with the national admins
tration, foreshadow a puzzling situation
in the national convention of 1882.
They introduce, without doubt, the wet
and dry issue as battle between the
two parties and force the necessity of
definite consideration Of that question.
There is added to this confusion the
fact that party fealty Is not what it
was even half generation ago. The
list of independent voters is growing.
The binding influence of party ties is
decreasing and we face an uncertain
situation, but the issue in this situation
has not been created or even affected
by this administration.

Kansas Democrat Voices
Hoover Policies in Defeat
of Allen.
Ry the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
WICHITA, Kans.. November g.
George McGill, Wichita lawyer, arose
from comparative obscurity to win the
position in the United States Senate
from which Senator Henry ]. Allen,
Republican, voiced many of the legis-
lative wishes of President Hoover
Although McGill has been active in
State and local Democratic politics for
years, his entrance into the national
political picture was at the 1928 DEM
ocratic Convention in Houston, when
he nominated Representative w. A.
Ayres OF Kansas for the presidency.
McGilI campaigned mostly ION his

mittee, having despaired of capturing
a Kansas seat in the Senate, sent nei-
Their campaign funds nor speakers into
the State. The State Committee con-
centrated its efforts on the three-cor-

Campaign Was Vigorous.
McGilPs vigorous campaign extended
to 80 of the los Kansas counties and
included more than sixscore speeches in

ness. While recuperating from an OPP
Grafton he recently was White House
guest of President Hoover.
The Senator -elect weighed 203 pounds
at the end of his strenuous campaign
tour of several thousand miles in his
automobile.
McGill stood upon the Democratic
State platform which upheld the pro-
hibition laws. He said he would support
any legislation which might make the
eighteenth amendment more effective
and he denounced the injection of the
liquor question into the Kansas CAM
paign.
Sympathetic to Farmers.
Born on an Iowa farm and reared
through most of his boyhood on a
Kansas farm, McGill acquired sympa-
thetic attitude toward agricultural prob
lens.
McGill has lived in Wichita since
1903, practicing law most of the time,
and gaining a wide local acquaintance.
In 1906 he was appointed assistant
county attorney under Ayres, who yes
terday was reelected, the only Demo-
crat in the Kansas delegation in the
House of Representatives. McGill later
served two terms as county attorney and
then retired to private practice.
He is thirty-third degree Mason
