GIFTED Press star Correspondent

PARIS, Aug. Velvet and a
daring return to the "leg O. mutton
sleeve features the offerings Of Paul
Redeem in his display Of styles for
the coming season.
The keynote of the Redfern ex-
hibits. however, was his Spanish
motif-many models showing effects
as arranged for tan senoritas CARRIED
in black laces, velvets, and plenty Of
soft, long-haired fur.
The collection differed from most
other houses in its abundant display
Of velvet on any pretext, the the
atricsl "Juliette" aspect of many Of
Its more formal gowns, and the
sensuous use of fur TO weight down
or outline dresses of the clinging
transparent or panne velvets.
Gives "Dressy'' Note
Nevertheless. Redfern introduced
in all seriousness the leg o. NUT
ton" sleeve. using it often on both
coats and dresses. II probably will
be popular with persons of excess
sive femininity who like to be
"dressy." Redfern also emphasized a
long tunic blouse found increasings
in all collections.
The most modern note at this
house, where as a whole clothes
seemed to mimic styles Of the dim.
romantic past, was found in
"Claudine," a simple little dress Of
printed "challis."
This wooden material was so soft
as TO resemble silk and must have
startled persons who have long been
predicting the complete suppress
sion of lowered tissues.
One Of the most symbolic gowns
in the Redfern collection was a
tight-ft.ig,g black velvet evening
dress, its deep back decolletage out
lined with white velvet camfias, its
skirt trailing behind, but parted
slightly in front to disclose glimpSes
of a tempting black lace petticoat.
Long white gloves and white Slip
pers completed the costume.
Combinations Are Used
Another just as illustrative of
Redfern tendencies was Bilitis, a
slinky robe of white panne velvet,
tight-fitting, with black fur weight
ing down the skirt. Black flowers
we're used in the middle Of the deep
front neckline.
Redeem used much black, white,
black and white combinations. and
the real greens, deep reds and au-
tunn browns seen everywhere this
year. There was a decided prefer
ence, too, for lanes, sometimes
eauze, sometimes heavy, always
highly worked with colors, gold or
silver. These made charming period
evening gowns.
one of these lanes, a silvery back
ground with big pink and blue roses,
was worked into robe called POM
padour." It was weighted down
with mink, and short evening coat
of the same metal-cloth had big
stand-up collar of mink.

of walter Collins and of Louis and
Nelson Winslow, brothers, never were
indisputably established.
After having written three letters
one each to his mother and father and
one to his spiritual adviser-Northcott
received the two women late last night.
He still refused to admit Staying the
youths. but said his mother, Mrs.
Sarah Louisa Northcott, and his neph-
ew. 15-year-old Sanford Clark, knew all
about the boys. He said, however, their
bodies had been buried on the ranch.
Mrs. Northcott pleaded guilty to a
charge of numbering the Collins boy
and is serving life sentence here.
Since her Imprisonment, however, she
has insisted she did not kill young Col
Inns. but pleaded guilty to the charge in
the hope of saving her son from the
gallows.
Asked for details concerning the bur
ial of three youths, Northcott told Mrs.
Collins and Mrs Winslow TO question
Mrs. Northcott and young Clark.
The investigation which uncovered
Northcott's alleged crimes began August
81, 1928, when his niece, Jessie Clark,
asked immigration authorities to deport
her brother, Sanford Clark, to Canada.
Northcott fled to Canada after officers
visited the ranch
Young Clark told authorities North
colt had abused and slain three boys.
officers visited the ranch and found
shallow graves containing bones and
quicklime.
Mexican Was Slain.
The murder of Mexican youth whose
decapitated body had been found at
Puente, Calf, several weeks previously
also was laid tn NOrthcOtt
Northcott finally was arrested near
Vernon, British Columbia and his
mother later was found at Calgary, AL
berta. Both we're returned to Riverside,
Calf, to face murder charges. On the
way to Southern California Northcott
confessed the Sayings, but later repu
dated the confession.
Tried for the Staying of the Mexican
youth and Louis and Nelson Winslow,
Northcott dismissed his attorney during
his trial and took charge of the case
himself. He was convicted and SEN
fenced to death. after which he waged
an unsuccessful fight in appealing the
case.
