NOTHING Is causing more excitement
In the minds of the fashion mind
ed than the predominance Of black in
the costumes for afternoon and evening

which makes up society. That would
not have been news three months ago,
but after the showings, when we saw
such a riot of color as we have not

a. matter of extreme importance to the
faShionist and to the individual woman
that the people who can and do select
clothes without regard to price or bud
get are continuing to make three
quarters of their formal wardrobeS of
black, and this In a season when color
seemed about to usurp place in the
sun.
Smart clothes are beng seen at the
miniature golf courses, which are now
attaining something Of the Importance
in Paris that they had in New York last
year. Certain courses are decidedly chic,
like the one in the Rue Faubourg st.
Honore, where a smart ensemble In the
new featherweight duvetine was seen
recently. The frock was cut on the bias
with the front of the blouse joined to
the skirt 2 inches above the waiStline,
giving the bust the importance required

note of the costume was the wide round
collar of cream-coloreG basket-weave
wool which extended well over the
shoulders like giant Peter Pan collar.
The little coat was sleeveless and the
collar Of the dress was worn outside it.
With this costume were worn low cut
oxfords of kid trimmed with lizard and
stockings in that dark shade of taupe
which is bit warmer than gun metal.

stalks are tender. Even at that 1t may

Standing well over feet, with mas
sive head, he reminds one much OF the
late William Mckinley In appearance.
There Is q real gentlenesS about him
easily discernible when you meet him.
He was born In the East. His career
has been made in the West.
Never at loss for words, he springs
to the defense of himself or his cause
with lightning rapidtty. Quick at rep
artee, he is adept at sarcasm, and not
many of his colleagues in the Senate
relish verbal encounter with him.
Ills first political venture was that of
a delegate to a county convention. That
taste Of politics whetted his appetite for
more, and he has been in or on the
fringe of public life ever since.
He ran for attorney general Of Mon
tana and was defeated by a slender
margin. The use of money was an issue
with him as far back as that. He has

the State Legislature, and for two years
he fought the copper interests.
He has been "msurging" from the
very start.
In 1920 Wheeler ran Tor Governor OF
Montana and YVES given a severe drub-
bing. But two years later he made bid
for the Senate and showed under hrs
opponent.
In the Senate his record is we'll
known. He made national reputation
by attacking Harry M Daugherty, e.

 The United States has insisted that Germany alone should benefit from the money returned from it's payments into. the Basic bank. This is one point holding up the negotia- tiors. s5v$a
 Another is the time In which the money returned to Germany is to be repaid. France insists that 1t be paid fully within five years. while America favors a period of 25 years, thus easing Germany's financial pressure indefinitely. In the third place, France wants some assurance that she is not expected to mobilize her share of the Young plan guar antee until Germany repays this an- nuity.
