Hewitt will be dismissed. The

today following a communication
from Mrs. Hewitt'S daughter, Ann,
that she was unwilling to proceed

spring with two prominent San

her.
The physicians, DR.. Tilton E.
Tillman and DR.. Samuel G. Boyd,
were brought to trial in Superior
Court here on mayhem Sharges
and won a dismissal August 10,
when the trial judge ruled the
prosecutions evidence would not
support the charge.
The girls attorney, in letter to
District Attorney Matthew Brady,
said:
''MiSs Hewitt has requested

existing facts and circumStan-

condition of her mother, that she

gate charges of Harry H. Ball,
Of Sharon, Penn, WA project

LoteNeWsFrom
Paris

After the openings, when the
buyers have made their pur.
chases and departed for their
native shores, it is always inter.
esting to know the models that
have developed as the favorites
in a collection.
From the Greed collection, the
plain. classic, man-tailored suits
were selected in many instances
because this house has always
been noted for this type Of cos
tune. One model of this type Is
'"Tanbark," a beige wool jacket,
quite severely tailored and worn
with q brown cashmere wooden
skirt. This model has been or
dered by a New York store.
In addition to these classic
suits, Greed showed several
softer types with more dress
maker detail and several sepa.
rate coats of finger-tip length.
Creed'S finger-tip tailored coat
of mems wear gabardine. called
Paddock which he showed in his
advance spring collection in
New York, definitely established
the fashion for this type of top
coat and all over the country to-
day it is known as the Greed
type of coat. Typical Of these
coats is the black wool finger-tip
jacket with back fullness Sc
lected by buyers from New
York. This new line of back
fullness is highlighted in uni
versity," a multi-colored, shaded
wool fabric with dominating
tones of red, yellow. green and
brown with gathered back and
sleeves. It was taken from the
traditional don's gown at OK
ford.

Long SWaaaers

Less spectacular and eccentric,
but very popular, is the suit
with longer Swagger coat, or
some other more conventional
cut, of navy woolen or other
"dressmaker" fabric and color,
and trimmed at the neckline in
un-tailored fashion. Suits Of this
type also take feminine acceS-
sories, and look not at all tail
ored when they are ensembled
with frilly blouse. hat and shoes
Of the afternoon type, and a
flower somewhere about.
Last but not least are jacket
suits, fitted but not tailored.
They can be of almost any
fabric, and they give you a de-
cidedly feminine look, especially
when you select accompani-
ments that are not at all mas
culine.

FouIord Ties
For Spring

Foulards, printed In brilliant
yet mellow tones, are among the
smartest ties that catch q mans
fancy these spring days. Fou-
lards are usually reserved for
summer wear, but in this season
of color, they've come out for
Easter and spring.
Designs in foulards range
from tiny dot-like prints to
larger Persian types, colorful
and rather exotic. Combinations
have deep rusty red, navy, gold,
brown and a medium blue, used
two colorS at a time.
Many stripes are good, too,
most of them taken from the
British regimental and club
stripes. Plaids, especially in wool,
are still mentioned as good for
spring, though they've had enor-
nous popularity through the
winter. All the tartans are ex-
cellent, especially those that are
gaily colored.

Rochas' buttoned effects on

same mother-of-pearl or plastic
buttons that appear on the
frock. Sehiaparelli follows this
harmonizing tie n ency even

Gay checks and plaids, or
tweeds in color, make the new
jackets, and they are ensembled
with breeches in color, many
times contrasting rather boldly.
More color may be added in
shirt or stock, accents carried
out in scarf or necktie, with the
general effect rather vivid, but
attractive in an outdoor setting.
Tattersall checks, Glenur-

above the knees. Tunics can
flare in the back, they can be
pleated, with fullneSs all around,
they can be wrapped, or but
