Army Of Wasps Put
 Workers To Flight
Under-employed at Washington Park Beat Retreat
 When Singers Assail Them

There was a wild time in Wash ington Park yesterday when work men hit d wasp's nest and soon found themselves confronted by an army of enraged enemies who put the intruders to rout in short order. One might think some of the men not fleet foot2d, but wit nesses to the retreat say that the fleeing laborers made good time, but even at that they were over taken and stung so badly that the caretaker of the grounds found it necessary to empty the contents of his medicine chest on the faces and hands of the wounded.
 After leaving the dressing sta tion, the assault was renewed un- der d downpour of rain which drove the wasps into their head quarters where they were all smothered by closing the entrance

CONRAD NACEL AT
 THE LIBERTY THEATRE

The advent of talking pictures suddenly changed the status of the film actors, bringing new people to the top and sending some of those at the top to the bottom. Fortunate was the film actor who possessed voice of the right quality to record we'll.
 Conrad Nagel's position as a star was not affected by the change as he possesses a fine voice which will be heard in Seward for the first time tonight at the Liberty Theatre.
 In the play, Numbered Men," he portrays the character of an honor man" in a prison camp and never a word escapes the ear. The supporting cast was specially picked, including some old and some new talent, and the play is rated as an absorbing drama.
 The two-reel comedy, the Pic torial Review, and the new type of fables are declared to be extra good.

There are, of course, individual adap-

curling the ends of the up-brushed hair
for certain types and for certain hats.
But the effect of really smart millinery

Of the neck, which adds to the smart

Curls and puffs and complicated hair

and that, In turn, must be in tune with

M Eugene, of Jules ct Etienne, on

Lavender, Gray,
Doubtful for. Age

TT is difficult to understand how Law
ender and gray were ever chosen as
the most suitable colors for old ladies
with gray or white hair. Occasionally
these colors are vastly becoming to old
ladies. But usually they are the very
most unbecoming colors that could be
chosen.
For the pale skin so usual in older
women needs something more definite,
brighter or darker than these dainty
pastel colors to bring out its best quail =

beautiful color about an old face. The
red is SO soft that it Is not harsh, and
its richness and warmth are reflected
in the colorless face above 1t.

PARIS, September II.

PARIS, September IT.
DOTTIERS are now making their COL
~ Iections of new shoes to compile
ment the costumes which are to be
worn this Fall. While the shapes are
not radically different, there is a de-
cided change in materials, or ratnef
in the combinations of materials, and
feeling that each dress is going to re-
quire its own pair Of shoes. especially
planned for 1t.
whether this is due to the increased
interest In color or the more dress
makery feeling that has permeated the
fashion world, it is difficult to say. But
there it is. And, while the shoe de-
signers vary in their individual points
Of view as to what will be the correct
thing in footwear, they are uniform in
their belief that we are going to see
more brown shoes than we have Tor
many a season. This expresses their
belief in the Necessity of shoes match
ing the costumes, and their opinion as
to the success OF brown.
However, they are all supplied with
kidd soft, pliable patent kid-and
antelope, for street wear, in dark greens
and dark reds, as well as In the more
conventional browns and blacks.
Hellstern believes that we will see
many street shoes in variations of the
oxford tie, and that this type OF shoes
will slide over for more formal after
noon wear. as evidenced by shoes with
yannps and heels of black kid and quar-
tiers and saddle Of matching satin. the
sort of shoes that we have not seen
for many long day. These are three
or four eyelet ties, rather deeply cut
out For outdoor wear he Is doing tho
same sort of shoe, but with a slightly
higher threat, with the vamp in coco
brown antelope and the rest OF the
shoe in chocolate patent kid.
Hellstern feels that the oxford Of
Richelieu type is the only shoe which
will be seen for daytime wear, with
the exception Of the classic opers
pump, which will be varied only by thu
| most discreet ornamentation.
Greco, on the other hand, Is making
quite a point Of q new shoe which ]:

of the elastic being taken by a tin!

this type was in dark blue with whit
stitching, the tiny vest of reptile an

Blankets From
Cedar Chests

You may have put your blankets
away clean and fresh IN the Spring, but
they should be well aired when you
take them out OF moth trunks or cedar
chests. Then you should take q day
on to put them in good condition. II
blankets are worn, the wear generally
appears first at the edges. This should
give you a good hint for new blankets.
If you want to make them last as
long as possible, re-enforce the new
blankets at the edges. Some people
face the upper edge of new blankets
with strips of fine muslin in order to
keep them from soiling. Moreover, If
you use the same set of blankets in a
guest room, where you cannot provide
a fresh blanket for every guest, 1t Is
nice to have fresh strips of muslin to
put on.
The muslin does more than keep the
blankets clean; it saves wear just where
wear comes first.
Now for blankets that have already
worn. Sometimes you can cut them
SO that one large blanket can be made
from two old ones. This means a seam
down the middle, but this does not
prove a source of difficulty. The seam
should be made in the form of a fat
fell, done by hand and well pressed.
If the blanket is simply worn at the
top, this can he cut of and the blanket
| used for smaller bed. It is a good
| idea in the family where there are
children not to buy new crib blankets,
| but to make use Of revamped large
blankets for this purpose.
When you buy new blankets, you viii

the two joined together. Most house
wives prefer to divide these double
blankets. because there are times when
only one part will be needed. In do
ing this, cut them evenly and carefully
| and bind with silk binding that Is sold
| expressly for this purpose.
Look well to the colors of the blankets

Importance. One reason hair OFTEN,

shampoo, looks rough and sticky Is that
it has not been properly rinsed. 1t is,

you have good spray.
So, first of all, buy some sort OF spray.
If it is carefully dried after each using.
it will keep In good condition for long
time and viii prove a purchase wen

| If you have no spray, you can get
good results by rinsing the hair several
times in fresh water in wash basin
and then rinsing it under a watering
can full Of water. Somebody else will
have to manipulate the water can, but
that isn't much to ask them to, do. And
this sort OF rinse Is much better than
any other excepting one from spray.
Next comes the soap. and there are
so many good shampoo mixtures that
it is only necessary to find out the one
you like best. just try several, and
choose the one that gives you person

% HE Vionnet collection this season
has been rated by American
importers as one Of the most
Il successful in Paris.
Furs occupy the center of in
terest throughout the collection and are
used in every imaginable fashion.
There are many fur-lined coats, much
less bulky than such garments usually
seem, and many full or half-length
fur wraps. Shown for both day and
evening wear is a full-length fur wrap,
without sleeves, topped by snug little
cape that Is almost a pelerine.
Besides the many little fur coats and
Jackets shown, there are half dozen
varieties Of the fur scarf which crosses
in front to hook under one arm or In
the center back, having circled the
figure. Another clever use Of fur is
shown with a black vigogna cloth coat
which is equipped with two fur trim
1nings, one in white ermine, the other
in black Persian lamb. Both are re-
movable, and thus the garment may
serve both for ordinary street wear
and for decidedly dresSy occasions.

4 LMosT all the fur-trimmed gar
ments are accompanied by fur
muff-purses. Usually these are of the
soft pouch type with stiff bar across
their length at the top, to make the
purse opening. There are also the
smaller soft muffs, only large enough
to incloSe the hands, and extending a
little over the ends Of the sleeves.
To preserve the slenderness Of the
waist In fur wraps, an insertion OF
matching broadcloth or Of satin about
10 inches wide is placed at the waist
line, quite banishing the bulky look
which most fur garments give. Another
individual touch is seen in rather wide
cuffs of beaver which are turned back
on themselves in another two-inch cuff.
While Vionnet remains true to the
bias cutting, which is almost synony-
nous with the name of the house, there
is q difference in the present collection
which has not been noted for number
