FEATURE Wells IN
MODELS FOR AUTUMN

Wells which not only cover an en-
tire hat but the face and the shoul-
ders are the most striking feature Of
many advance fall models.
The large mesh veil which is dot
ted with chenille is the favored type
for wear during the daytime, but
there are some handsome lace wells
to wear for more formal occasions.
Most of these wells are circular in
shape and are thrown over the high
peaked crowns Of the new hats SO
that their draped edges extend well
over the shoulders. Sometimes they
are placed over the head before the
hat is put on so that the part which
covers the crown Of the head serves
as a crown for the hat.
Another type of veil, also circular
in shape, has the center cut out so
that the veil fits around crown or
edges the brim of a hat. 1t usually
is worn to give downward sweep
at the back. frequently extending
halfway to the waistline.

Checks, stripes and monotones are
the gay themes that sing to riotous
color tunes. Consciously fashioned

Watch crowns! The advance fall
hat fashions declare that height is
the chief aim of designers. The
three types that lead the millinery
procession for midseason and early
fall are berets, toques or turbans
and the hat with brim that takes
an abrupt turn up at one side re-
vealing half of the coiffure. There
is no doubt that millinery fashions
are tending toward the extreme,
and they are also very versatile.
The three silhouettes pictured con-
vey an idea as to important mil
linery gestures. The high draped
touue at the top is significant of
the future. The beret of velvet is
featuring as smart midseason
number, and women who lead in
fashion are wearing them with their
summer frocks at this time. The
dashing high-side-brim hat is some
thing to look forward to since mil
liners are featuring it in various
moods often with spectacular feath-
er trims.

Uneven Skirt Line Latest
Style in Evening Gowns

A Paris fashion house shows a
practical evening gown with short
skirt in front and a definite back
ward dip to a greater length. These
full skirts resemble the tarleton
skirts worn by ballet dancers. The
material is gathered into so many
folds that the skirts swing out grace
fully in wide sweeps with every
movement of the body.
These short skirts are far more
practical than f1oor-length ones,
which are likely to get trampled
underfoot when dancing, and their
width and fullness make them
graceful as well as practical.

The Egyptian Scarab

The Scarab is made Of many sorts
of stones. In many varieties OF
stone the Egyptians copied the scar
abaeus or sacred beetle. The an
cient Egyptians took the scarab
beetle for their symbol of creation.
They associated the symbol with
their god Khepera, who rolled the
sun across the sky as the beetle
rolled its egg. The Egyptians be-
heved that by wearing the scarab
they absorbed the strength of crea'
ton.

LAWYER CONTESTS.
RULES OF PARKING.
Voiding of Signs on Many
Streets Threatened by
Fight on "Ticket."

Voiding of thousands of parking
signs and the limitation of the power
of the Traffic Department to regulate
streets is being threatened as a result
of a ticket" given to Cornelius H.
Doherty, attorney of 1910 Vermont
avenue.
Traffic Judge John P. Mcmahon.
before whom Doherty appeared late
yesterday to contest ticket charging
him with disobeying an official sign
on Vermont avenue, near K street, has
given the defense and the corpora
ton counsels Office until April to
file briefs
1t was indicated, however, that the
District prosecutors Office probably
will not answer the defense brief.
Authority Limited.
1t was argued by Doherty and con-
Cured in by Assistant Corporation
Counsel Rice Hooe that the Traffic
Department is without authority to
limit parking on any other streets
than those set up under an act Of
Congress- except in the case of park
ing less than 25 feet from the corner,
abreast or in front of driveway, COW
cred by general law.
In Doherty,s case it was charged
that he parked between an intersec-
ton and a sign on Vermont avenue
which read mo Parking to Corner"
1t is conceded that the sign is approx
imately 48 feet from the corner and
that the rear of Doherty'S car was
approximately 80 feet from the corner.
The attorneys pointed to the word
ing of the act designating streets for
control of parking. 1t states: Park
ing shall be limited as follows" nam
ing the streets. Therefore, they claim,
there is no authority under which
the department can erect signs and
enforce parking regulations on any
other streets.
Van Duzer Claims Power.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer and his assistant, M. o. Ed
ridge, who had been called as wit
nesses by the defense. insisted that
the act gave them blanket power in
the control of traffic.
Il say" replied Hooe, that sign
is not official unless backed by specific
law"
Judge Mcmahon, in announcing the
continuance for the filing of briefs,
insisted that one be filed by the de-
fendant at least, whether answered by
the corporation counsel's Office or not.
The decision in this case may az
