JANEIRO, Sunday.—In protest against an increase of fares on the ferry-boats which form the sole means of communication between here and Niterói, on the other side of the harbor, a crowd invaded the offices and sheds of the transport company. The mob set fire to eighteen tramcars, a large coal-store and several buildings. Time was when shoes were divided into two categories—Smart shoes and comfortable shoes. When sports became smart the shoemakers and shoemakers saw the point and made comfortable shoes that were smart. Word comes from England of the new vogue for “old monk’s shoes” square-toed, with a tongue
new vogue for “old monk’s shoes” square-toed, with a tongue of leather buckle over the instep. Such models are shown in Paris by Walk-Over in its shop on the Boulevards. They are decidedly amusing and they will make a long foot look shorter. “Ghillie” shoes laced like a sandal across the instep are also the vogue in England, where they are made in colored leathers to match the golf sweater. Similar models are to be found in Paris, although the French shops showing them have featured only the brown and beige tones of leather, and white. The classic Oxford with
beige tones of leather, and white. The classic Oxford with spring heel and sole of crepe leather is shown by practically every shoeshop and faiseur in Paris; they are very comfortable. Sandals made of strips of leather woven together are not a novelty but they continue to be worn because they are so cool and comfortable. Reference has been made before to Perrugia’s new crepe de chine sandals, but they deserve consideration in any account of comfortable shoes. They will make any foot look slimmer, the curves described by their cunningly cut straps are so new. The colors are bright—match
cunningly cut straps are so new. The colors are bright—match your scarf in your shoes being the idea. PARISIAN NOVELTIES Fragile Figurines. Figurines of dancers or animals in blown glass are not new, but La Crémaillère in the Boulevard Haussmann has found a new motif. It shows units of six or seven dancers all doing exactly the same thing, like the Tiller girls. Besides these, they have single dancers. They are recommended to the hostess in search of new decorations for a dinner table. Sea-Green to the Sea. Bath robes of sponge in tones of sea-green are shown by Barclay.
of sponge in tones of sea-green are shown by Barclay. Though some indications lead one to believe that he intended them for men’s wear we do not hesitate to recommend them to brunettes. It is still smart to wear a rather masculine bathing coat, especially if it is of plain sponge, and this vivid color is a real find for the olive complexion, well-tanned.

A gown for a modern hostess and a modern
CLEANING. A gown for a modern hostess and a modern interior, both by the house of Myrbor. The gown is of beige satin and beige chiffon, with appliqué embroideries in silver, black, red and green. The room has beige walls, the chair is upholstered in beige satin. Table and chair are of sycamore wood. The rug (designed by Fernand Léger) is of blue-green, violet and black. The curtains are of white silk and the window embrasures are of a lively blue. The tonality of the colors makes them relate, with harmonious effect. SHOES Close harmony is not exclusively the field
harmonious effect. SHOES Close harmony is not exclusively the field of amateur glee-clubs and modern composers. The great executive is he who knows how to harmonize the temperaments and the tasks of many. Women, as homemakers, can do much by giving frequent thought to harmonizing the things that come within their domain. A well-planned dinner is a matter of harmonizing flavors with the weather, the occasion and the tastes of guests. A well-served dinner demands harmony in the appearance and cooking of the table, and harmony between the kitchen and the butler or the maid. A successful dinner demands, above
the butler or the maid. A successful dinner demands, above all, a sort of spiritual harmony between the guests. Every woman knows that her appearance must be harmonious if she is to do her best as wife, mother and hostess. She can take a further step by harmonizing her appearance with her background—that is, with the decoration of her home. One of the notable creators of Paris has done much in harmonizing dress and decoration. This creator is Mme. Myrbor, whose house in the Rue Vignon, has created many beautiful modern interiors and some of the most beautiful modern costumes
modern interiors and some of the most beautiful modern costumes that can be imagined. A number of notable modern artists collaborate with Mme. Myrbor, designing furniture, rugs, silverware and embroideries for her, but these collaborators are selected and their work is unified by executive skill. The illustration shows a Myrbor gown in the setting of a Myrbor interior. It shows what perfect harmony can exist between a gown and its background, and it conveys the spirit of Myrbor’s creations as well as black and white can, for color has as vital a part in these as have line and composition.
vital a part in these as have line and composition. The graceful full folds of the gown, of the hostess, are akin to the straight fall of the curtains. The angular embroideries on the skirt are akin to the striking yet simple forms in the chair and the table of sycamore wood and with the pattern of the rug. The colors of dress and room are allied also. The gown is of dull yellow-beige with satin bodice and chiffon skirt. The embroideries are of silver, black, red and green. The satin upholstery of the sycamore chair is of beige. The
satin upholstery of the sycamore chair is of beige. The rug, designed by Fernand Léger, shows related tones of violet, black and green-blue. The walls of the room are of pale beige. The silk curtains, with their formally pleated border, are of white silk. The panels at either side of the window are of a telling blue: they offer a vivid yet restful accent, often lacking in modern interiors. In short, the colors are as vigorous and as well-harmonized as are the lines. The idea of a hostess’ dress designed to harmonize with the interior of her home is not
to harmonize with the interior of her home is not entirely new, but Mme. Myrbor has carried the idea to a high degree of perfection, worthy of study. The imaginative quality which she brings into the simplicity of this gown gives it added charm. It is restful and—evocative. Let every hostess remember: It is good to finish a hard day as the guest of a woman whose home, whose table and whose person give an effect of perfect harmony. Such perfection soothes overworked nerves, stimulates the perception of beauty and opens our minds to the interchange of that glowing conversation

Congress can vote for the Volstead Act, but they cannot find time to pay honest wages that are due.” The crusader has run for Congress several times in the Brooklyn Navy Yard district. So far his efforts have been unsuccessful, but he is not discouraged. He will try again this autumn on an independent ticket. Hard work, almost futile, yet Mr. Mann keeps distributing his circulars, printing his advertisements, delving into his own pocket to pay the cost. “I was ready to give it up,” he says, “but these poor old fellows kept patting me on the back and telling
old fellows kept patting me on the back and telling me they depended on me. Gradually I came to like them, and wouldn’t give it up. Every year has found me more determined. “But if the United States Government owes you money,” warns Mr. Mann, “try and get it. It is like trying to climb the face of the Woolworth Building with your hands tied behind you.” ACCIDENT IN GERMANY BERLIN. — A railroad accident at Nordhausen caused the death of nine persons and injury to twenty-eight.

(Paris Times Correspondence) London, Sunday. It is too hot for the Talk of London to rise above a murmur. The thermometer has registered 131 degrees Fahrenheit in the sun, and even night seems to give little relief. But no amount of heat could prevent a discussion of the two reports of the tribunal appointed to inquire into the Savidge case. The reports have followed political
inquire into the Savidge case. The reports have followed political lines. Whereas the majority report exonerates the police, the minority report of Mr. Lees-Smith, a Labor Member of Parliament, is as forecast, in that it is not only a censure of police methods but it prefers the evidence of Miss Savidge to that of the police where such evidence is conflicting. The majority report, which is signed by Sir John Eldon Banks and Mr. J. J. Withers, considers that Chief Constable Wensley, Superintendent Savage and Inspector Collins were not to blame for bringing Miss Savidge to Scotland Yard, or for
blame for bringing Miss Savidge to Scotland Yard, or for the means adopted for bringing her there, because they were following the established practice approved by those in higher authority than themselves, but it adds that it does not approve the application in this particular case. Mr. Lees-Smith, on the other hand, blames the police officials. He adds a series of fifteen questions as to whether new regulations are necessary in view of the conclusions to which he has come. As a result of the inquiry, Sir William Joynson-Hicks, the Home Secretary, has consulted the Liberal and Socialist Parties on
Home Secretary, has consulted the Liberal and Socialist Parties on the terms of reference of the Royal Commission which he proposes to set up to inquire into the methods and practice of the police. Opposition Attacks Police. As the report has followed political lines, it is only natural that the Opposition should support the minority report. Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, the leader of the Socialist Party, declares that the reports show that a serious state of affairs exists, and that the letter which the Public Prosecutor sent to Miss Savidge’s solicitors was the most improper that he had ever read in
was the most improper that he had ever read in his life. “The majority report seems to have gone on the assumption that the first duty of the tribunal was to whitewash everything,” he says. In view of these allegations against the police, particular interest attaches to the strict disciplinary action taken by the authorities with regard to an inspector and a police constable. The inspector was charged with leaving his patrol and going home; in consequence, he has his pay reduced. The constable associated with a bookmaker; he has been dismissed from the force. Mrs. Pace, who was recently
been dismissed from the force. Mrs. Pace, who was recently acquitted of murdering her husband by administering arsenic, is starting her “exclusive story of eighteen years in hell” in a Sunday newspaper, which publishes a picture of her, apparently in the best of health, writing her memories. The rival newspaper states that she is reduced to a nervous wreck. In the meantime, there is another arsenic case that is provoking interest. At the inquest on the body of Mrs. Jesse Llewellyn, of Llanelly (Wales), one doctor attributed death to arsenical poison, while another, the stepson of the dead woman, says
poison, while another, the stepson of the dead woman, says that he found nothing at the post-mortem examination to indicate the presence of arsenic. Fatal Aeroplane Accident. The hot weather is driving people into the country and it always seems that a holiday rush is followed by at least one accident. This one is no exception. The two men and two girl typists who were burned to death when an Imperial Airways passenger aeroplane crashed near Purley (Surrey) during a test flight, were employees of the company, who had asked to be allowed to go up when they heard that
to be allowed to go up when they heard that a test flight was being made. Another accident occurred off the Kentish coast when the German steamer Augeburg came into collision with an Italian steamer. The Augeburg made for Dover Harbor and struck the Eastern arm of the bay. Her bows were stove in. Fashionable London continues to argue the pros and cons of Lady Ellesmere’s action in asking “uninvited guests” to leave her ball. The consensus is in her favor. In the meantime, Lady Denman, mother of one of those asked to leave, has written to the press that
those asked to leave, has written to the press that her daughter went on to the dance from a dinner at which she was one of some twenty guests, that she explained to her hostess that she had received no invitation, but that Lady Catherine Willoughby, who was acting as hostess in the absence of her mother, Lady Ancaster, said that it was an oversight. It is reported that Lady Catherine Willoughby has sent a letter to Lady Ellesmere through her solicitors. In the meantime, extraordinary precautions were taken against “uninvited guests” at Miss Elizabeth Ponsonby’s “Swim and Dance” gathering
“uninvited guests” at Miss Elizabeth Ponsonby’s “Swim and Dance” gathering held in a private bathing establishment. Guests were scrutinized and questioned by a policeman before being admitted. The by-election at Halifax (Yorkshire) caused by the retirement of Mr. J. H. Whitley, formerly Speaker of the House of Commons, has resulted in a victory for the Socialist candidate, Alderman A. W. Longbottom, with a majority of nearly five thousand votes over Major Barlies (Liberal) and two thousand more over Major Crossley (Conservative). At the last general election Mr. Whitley (Liberal) was returned unopposed. BRITISH ENTERPRISES IN PARIS XVI.—MAPPIN AND WEBB. The

The center photograph shows the store at Nice (Alpes-Maritimes) and the lower photograph that at Biarritz (Basses-Pyrenees). The firm of Mappin and Webb, known everywhere as one of the leading silversmiths in the world, (Paris store, 1, Rue de la Paix), is one of those businesses which have come down from generation to generation in the same family. The actual founder of the business was Joseph Mappin, an
The actual founder of the business was Joseph Mappin, an industrious citizen of Sheffield who made his living by engraving on metal plates. Joseph Mappin carried on his business more than 120 years ago. Before his death, he added to his business the manufacture of cutlery and silver-plate. His son Joseph continued and he left to his two sons—John Newton Mappin and Joseph Mappin—a well-established business. From these two sons, the business passed into the hands of their sons. The sons of Joseph—Sir Frederick Thorpe, Edward, Charles, and John Newton—were best known in England. They were staunch in their support
best known in England. They were staunch in their support of Sheffield and they were identified with everything in the Sheffield trade. Until 1846, the firm was known as “Joseph Mappin,” but in that year an amalgamation occurred. The firm of William Samson was absorbed and an expansion in the trade resulted. A business in London was established in the early part of the last century. In the exposition in Hyde Park in 1851 the firm was represented by a large display of articles of its own make. They included sportsmen’s knives, pearl-handled and gold-mounted, fish carvers, and a variety
sportsmen’s knives, pearl-handled and gold-mounted, fish carvers, and a variety of other articles. The firm took the name of Joseph Mappin and Brothers and moved its headquarters in London several times in order to keep pace with the ever-increasing demand for its Sheffield products. In 1908 Mappin Brothers amalgamated with Mappin & Webb and the company now has three large establishments in London alone, all of which deal in a fine grade of silversmith articles. In the midst of the development at home, the company began to look abroad, in keeping with the spirit of British enterprise. In the “fifties”
keeping with the spirit of British enterprise. In the “fifties” and “sixties” of the last century the expansion began. A house was established in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes) more than thirty years ago. The success of this branch brought the desire to open a store in Paris. Premises at 23, Boulevard des Capucines, opposite the Grand Hotel, were taken for this purpose. The ambition to own a shop in the Rue de la Paix persisted until 1909, when the attractive corner position at 1, Rue de la Paix was acquired. This is now the general headquarters of the French company. A shop
now the general headquarters of the French company. A shop in Biarritz (Basses-Pyrénées) was later opened. The foreign expansion has led to the opening of stores in Montreal, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Rome, and Johannesburg. The expansion of the Paris store has been continuous. Under the management of Mr. Walter C. Pestel, the shop maintains always the highest standards in business in line with the motto of the company: Efficiency and Good Service. The stores in Nice and Biarritz are managed by Mr. A. Pavey and Mr. F. White respectively. One of the specialties of Mappin and
F. White respectively. One of the specialties of Mappin and Webb is the famous “Prince’s Plate” which was introduced about thirty years ago. This plate became very popular in a short time and it is one of the best-known Sheffield products.
