LACE NOW INVADES
WHOLE DRESS FIELD

The new summer collections in
Paris are always eagerly awaited.
This year they have brought more
in novelty and charm than could
have been anticipated. Femininity
characterizes the fashions offered
by all of the great designers, and
in achieving feminine charm the
cOuturierS have chosen the pre-
ferred medium-lace. This return
to favor of material so long over.
looked by the mode Is outstanding,
and it has come back not only in
the classic varieties of lace to which
we have become accustomed, but
in many new and fascinating forms,
which seem very definitely fabrics.
These new types are being en-
plOyed widely for street dresses and
summer suits, definitely tailored in
effect. The prominence given lace
in this type of clothes has also
called attention to the praticalness
and charm of cotton nets and tulle
as material for tailoring. Suits OF
these materials are shown and the
new laceS are utilized for long red
ingotes which veil evening frocks.

styles, according to this formula.
At a recent preview of foremost
styles presented by the Chicago
Wholesale Market district to an au-
dience of fashion enthusiasts who
had gathered from far and near to
witness this significant event, the
idea Of the jacket costume was dra-
matically stressed for both daytime
and evening dress. The jacketed
models herewith illustrated were Sc
lected from this showing of sur
passingly chic clothes as being not
only practical but also flatteringly
wearable.
The mode to the right features
swank bolero type. The brief
jacket is lined, cuffed and collared
with the same print that fashions
the frilly blouse pictured with bo-
lero removed in inset. The fine
pleatings, the peplum tabs below
the wide belt, the straight narrow
silhouette of the skirt and espe-
cially the huge full-at-top sleeves
are highly significant style details.
The perfectly stunning spectator
sports costume to the left eloquent
ly bespeaks the reason why" jacket
ensembles are at the top o. the
mode. A style so breathtaking as
thtis will coax a burst Of enthusi-
asm from even the most blase. The
dress of voguish sheer white wool
en- is topped with jacket of unique
cut that is handsomely all-over
braided with soutache. The original
mode Is bright navy but black on
white is equally as effective. Which
leads us to tell you that some of
the smartest costumes going this
season are white worked with black
soutache or made up with effective
touches of black-and-whit print.
Note the scroll soutache finishing
the skirt hemline. 1t tells you that
designful hemlines are very i'm
portant style gesture.

night that she had gone to Richmond.
After Mrs. Young had gone to the
hospital and a maid had tackled the
job of cleaning up the debris at the
battle scene, Zioncheck went to his
Office at the Capitol. where he found
letters inviting him to speak at the
Bunker Hill banquet in Boston and
asking him to send an autographed

hip X-rayed.
Mrs. Young was visited at the hos

About an hour after the final visit

reporters into the apartment and

While one OF the reporters played

group of children playing in the ad-

to throw it back. After two attempts

Hear Plea for Girls

her celebrated fight for freedom be-
fore the Virginia Supreme Court OF
Appeals here Tuesday.

represent the State in opposing a new
trial for the school teacher who was
sentenced to Is years in prison for
the murder of her father, Trigg Max

Wise County, last July 81.
She contends the only blows she
inflicted were with slipper, when
her father attempted to whip her and
she resisted.
Circuit Judge H. A. w. Skeen has
twice refused to set aside the verdict
Of the Cumberland mountain jury that
convicted Miss Maxwell last Novem-
Der. The Supreme Court consented
March 10 to review the case.
Charge Is Continued.
Meanwhile. murder charge against
Mrs. Anne Maxwell, jointly indicted
with her daughter, has been con-
tinued.
The seven judges also will hear
q plea that Miss Maxwell be released
under bond from the Jail, where she
has been confined since her arrest
nearly a year ago. Judge Skeen has
consistently declined to grant bail.
Defense attorneys alleged 10 errors
on the part of the trial court, one
of which was the exclusion of women
from the jury under Virginia law. The
latter point was made after the Vir-
ginia branch of the National Woman's
Party engaged an attorney in the case.
Miss Maxwell was arrested after her
father died in their cabin at Pound,
and went on trial on November l8,
1885. She, her mother, and her young
sister Mary Katherine testified that
the father was drunk and had told his
wife she would have to leave the
home.

from a date about midnight, and her
father seized and attempted to beat
her. He had a knife in his hand.

her roughly by the hair. Stumbling

she snatched a high-heeled slipper
from the room and hit him several
times on the head, she testified.
Mrs. Maxwell said when he fell
against a meat block on the back
porch later she assumed the fall killed
him.
ITS hell when you can't even whip
your own child" Edith quoted her
father as saying during the struggle.
Commemorative Attorney Fred B.
Greear put witnesses on the stand who
testified that Maxwell was not drunk
short time before the family fight,
that Edith had been heard to threaten
her father on several occasions, and
that she had been heard to say she
would laugh If she saw him laying
out dead"
