For college-girl choice we would call
attention to the stunning rough crepe

1t is decidedly new because of its tu-

it is in one Of the notably voguish

BLACK FOUNDATION
OF FALL WARDROBE

DESERVING the bright colors Of mid
summer, the smart Parisienne has re-
turned to her favorite black for MORN
ing, afternoon and evening. In a re-
cent interview French woman whose
name is synonymous with chic on two
continents, outlined a typical Paris
wardrobe. For daytime, her choice is
a lightweight black wool coat, cut with
wide shoulders and trim fitted waist
line. This she wears over a black
sheer wool frock.
Her afternoon dresses include yell
low and black printed crepe, worn
with black gloves and small draped
turban of black velvet. This she al
ternates with black satin jacket suit,
with white satin blouse.
For informal dining she wears a
simple black crepe frock, whose long
slender lines are accumulated by panels
Of pale blue at the sides.

OVERTHROW FACED
BYPAR|S CABINET
PauI-Boncour Held Skating
on Thin Ice as Results
Of Proposed Cuts.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

BY Gable to The Star.
PARIS, France, January 20.-If the
French cabinet under Premier Joseph
Paul-Boncour presses for the accept
ance in toto of its proposals for the
rehabilitation of national finances,
which were introduced in the Chamber
CT Deputies Tuesday after long prepa-
ration, it will be overthrown.
This was made clear today by the
attitude of the Chambers finance COM
mission which is engaged in ripping the
governments plan to pieces. 1t had
begun by eliminating cuts in salaries
and pensions and other measures of
economy and in rejecting number of
new taxes.
The commission now is considering
what substitute it can evolve there
from, with indications pointing to the
adoption of some items from counter
proposals submitted by the Socialists.
The basis of the Socialist scheme is
the naturalization of all forms of in
surance concurrently with a disguised
loan in the form of an issue of '"insur-
dICe DOIlQS guaranteed Dy the Stdte.
Paul-Boncour and his finance minis
ter, Henri Cheron, originally intimated
that they would not countenance the
Socialist plan. but in view Of the favor
able receipt given to it by the finance
commission they have now modified
their stand. expressing a readiness to
consider any suggestions tending to
achieve budget equilibrium"
In the light of these developments,
Paul-Boncour seems to be skating on
thin ice If he abandons Cheron's pro-
pcsals in favor of the Socialist scheme
in order to secure Socialist support
when the plan comes to vote he will
continue to be faced by an unbalanced
budget. Moreover, it remains to be
proved that he can obtain a majority
even with the Socialists.
On the other hand, if the premier
presses Cheron's proposed new taxes
and salary cuts the Socialists will join
the Right elements in overthrowing him.
