After moving to Seymour, he was elected to the Indiana Senate and later to the Indiana Appellate Court. He was Ambassador to Chile from 1916 to 1921. Then he returned to Indianapolis and resumed the practice of law. Comings and Goings. The American of the United States Lines, which was due to sail from Breman yesterday, but which has been delayed by dense fog in the Breman roads, will call at Southampton and Cherbourg tomorrow on her way to New York. The special boat train leaves Paris at 3:25 p.m. The passenger list of the line proves again the increasing popularity of winter travel. Among those on board are: Mr. Newbold T. Lawrence, of the Société Anonyme Belge Delta; Mr. Marcel Desanarets, European representative of the British American Tobacco Company; Mr. J. W.

Mr. Hans Jenny, of Dublin, is at the Hôtel Boisy-Lafayette, Paris. Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Seville and Miss Seville, of Wellington, N.Z., are at the Hôtel Regina, Paris. Mr. E. Heller, of San Francisco, is at the Hôtel Chatham, Paris. The smart hotels, clubs, and homes along the Riviera demand the most perfect evening gowns. The three models in the foreground of the sketch show how much individuality evening dresses can express while keeping within the rules of good taste which govern the mode. At the left in the foreground is a print chiffon masterpiece from Louiseboulanger, which seems to leap ahead of the season and materialize spring in its flowered pattern and its petal-like flounces. In the center, a white georgette gown from Molyneux shows a delightful combination of square-ended panels which make the slim figure look positively ethereal. At the right is a masterly

In the center, a white georgette gown from Molyneux shows a delightful combination of square-ended panels which make the slim figure look positively ethereal. At the right is a masterly gown from Callot, which was ordered recently by a very beautiful Frenchwoman. The skilful draping of the skirt about the figure makes it a perfect gown for the mature woman; the vivid blue of the satin makes white hair so beautiful that flappers are driven to the "perruquier" to equip themselves with white wigs. In the background at the extreme left is one of Lelong’s gowns wherein marvellous cutting and a skilful combination of lines create distinction. The satin gown in the background at the extreme right is, in a sense, typical of the conservative evening gowns of the season.

There was a large attendance at the tea dance yesterday afternoon at the Club. It was the first since these dances were suspended for the Christmas holidays. The guests were received by Miss Grâce Hutchinson, under whose auspices the dances are held. The music was provided by the Bernard Orchestra of the Hôtel Lutétia. WOMAN ELOQUENT AT ENGLISH BAR (Paris Times Correspondence) LONDON.—That the first woman barrister to defend in a murder trial in England should be named Venetia is a happy coincidence. For it was in the city of Shylock that the most famous woman lawyer in literature saved a pound of flesh by subtle sophistry. Portia, however, had to disguise as a man.

Despite the conventional wig and the robes which the English Bar imposes on both sexes, Miss Venetia J. A. Stephenson will appear in testimony to the place which women are fast attaining in the legal profession of her country, when she defends the case of William John Holyard, who will be tried soon for the murder of his grandfather, William Holyard, at the Central Criminal Court in London. Miss Stephenson has risen rapidly to her present position as one of the leading women at the Bar. Her sex has attained prominence in this profession only since the World War. Two of the pioneers, Miss Normanton and Miss Béatrice Davy, have been practicing only six years. Another was a Prosecutor. While Miss Stephenson is the first woman to plead the cause of mercy, one of her sex, Miss Enid Rossner, appeared in the opposite part when she served as counsel for the Crown in a murder case last April. Almost all of the woman barristers, however, have appeared in civil cases. They are especially proficient in divorce suits. And when a woman barrister pleads a case of breach of promise before a jury which contains members of her sex she is irresistible. Miss C. A. Young obtained for her jilted client £77 in damages and the right to keep the engagement ring. The position of legal adviser to women’s organizations is often occupied by famous members of the profession. Aristocratic women have not disdained the calling, with Baroness Clifton and the Hon.

G. Wells in one of his novels. When such a serious sociologist turns from the contemplation of the future of the race to pay attention to feminine fripperies it is worth while giving consideration to his utterance. From a practical feminine point of view one may add that evening gowns must be a great success. That can be only accomplished by personalizing them to suit the wearer. Anyone can wear a straight little two-piece stock and look presentable in the street or in the country, but with décolletage and skirt draperies and floating panels and flounces and trick circular cutting the choice of a model is more difficult. Fortunately, the couturiers have foreseen this. Each of them is working on individual lines, while all of them are showing a great deal of variety in their own collections.

The sketch above shows something of the variety which the great creators of Paris offer in evening dresses. Each dress is decidedly different from the others in fabric, in color, in handling and in feeling. It is worth noting, however, that all these gowns are absolutely practical for the woman who travels. In fact, they were designed for wear in the South, which implies that they journey in trunks or bags. The new individuality does not require the use of bulky taffeta, brocade or tulle. It is more a matter of proportion, style and coloring than of novel fabrics. In the foreground at the left is a deliciously springlike gown created by Louiseboulenger. The fabric is chiffon, printed with clear pink flowers on a white ground. The flower-like feeling is continued in the doubled drapery which cascades down the back of the skirt and in the slender lines of the bodice which is so simple that it makes the head and shoulders of the wearer of prime importance. The skirt draperies are not too long at the back to be practical. They indicate the elongating line without making it extreme. The gown is ideal for the young woman who is feminine but active.

The gown in the center is totally different in feeling. There is a restraint in its lines and in its coloring. Molyneux made it of white georgette, which becomes ethereal in this composition of square-ended floating panels and curved lines for yoke and décolletage. Worn with a rich jewel such as the diamond necklace shown in the sketch, it makes an ideal costume for the slender aristocrat. Worn with a single flower it will suit the slender, dreamy young girl. The gown at the right in the foreground is designed primarily for the mother of the young girl. It is a Callot model ordered recently by a beautiful Frenchwoman whose hair is white and whose charm is rare. The color, a deep sapphire blue, is calculated to give full value to white hair. The skillful simplicity of the draping idealizes the mature figure, while the slight train is one of those important features which only the older woman can wear to perfection. In the background at the extreme left is a long-distance view of one of Lelong’s evening gowns of crepe satin. The lines of this gown are flattering and unusual. Few couturiers in Paris can do the wonderful things with circular and curved cutting

Few couturiers in Paris can do the wonderful things with circular and curved cutting which Lelong does. The long point formed by the empire in the skirt, and the manner in which the lines flow on into the rounded folds of the circular panels thus joined into the skirt, are rarely harmonious. Such a gown requires distinction and a delicate figure in the wearer. Far in the background at the right is a dark satin gown which may be regarded as the typical evening silhouette of the present season; it is simple, but it expresses all the points which make evening gowns good at present. By comparing the other gowns in the sketch with it, you will notice their general similarity with its silhouette, but each of them is so individualized that all resemble each other far less than they all resemble this “type” costume.

Doucet-Douillet provides this surprise in a group of bright-colored Moroccan-leather envelopes which have a rounded flap instead of the usual square or pointed form. These bags are matched to printed kerchiefs for wear in the South. Peasant Kerchiefs. Peasant furniture, peasant dishes and peasant linen have their vogue in the decoration of interiors.

There is nothing prettier than a small bunch of fresh violets pinned on the grey fur collar of a coat. There is a chromatic sympathy between violets and grey which is particularly appealing. The fair-skinned woman can wear the Parma violets, which are fragrant, but the brunette would do better to choose the dark single violets.

This product fills linen —and is open —& Parisian Creators Show New Colors New colors which are now being shown in Paris by the makers of silks, ribbons and hat forms include a group of scarlet reds, so clear and bright that they suggest orange without actually being orange; a group of soft yellows, called “butter tones,” and a great variety of soft blues. The navy blues have already been accepted in the mode, but the new blues are lighter, including Saxé blue, Nattier blue, and some curious greenish blues rather like the colors in the sand. All the weavers of fabrics also commend greens, both in moss shades and in the yellowish tones. While these are not absolutely new they are growing in importance. A number of the leading couturiers and milliners have ordered these greens for their new models. With these brilliant colors are used more neutral tones which have already established their importance. The natural shades, soft beige tones with more than a hint of purple in them, some yellow-beiges, navy blue and the soft reddish browns often called “beaver” or “wood” colors, also are important. They form the “background” colors for the new shades. “Whenever blue is used we also have red in fashion,”

Also, these reds are good for summer because they look fresh. And they tone in with the new yellows, which are also good with the blues, and with the natural tones.” Grey is another important neutral color, in the eyes of the fabric and supply houses. Its ultimate success still is not decided, although a number of the influential couturiers have been ordering it. Women have been shy of grey for a number of years, but, though the mode from the sun may not conciliate the grays and the sunburn complexions. It is a fact that at F.
