DANIEL RYAN JR., SELECTED TO SUCCEED HIS LATE FATHER FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER. Tuesday, November 6, 1923, has passed on into history and now after the judicial election has become a thing of the past, all of the so-called wise and far-scarring would-be politicians, those who feel that at all times that they are toting, the world around on their shoulders are very loud in exclaiming that if this, that or the other candidate for Judge of the Superior Court would have only made this that or the other move at the proper time that there never would have been the slightest doubt in regard to his election as one of the judges of the Superior Court of Cook country. That is the same old song that we always hear after each election of any importance and as usual the hind sight of that class of wise politicians is always much better than the r fore-sight. The judicial election returns plainly indicate that, with six or seven exceptions, the voters in this city and county displayed rare wisdom in selecting their Superior Court judges who will sit in judgment on their legal or unlawful acts for the next six years. The following are successful Republican and Democratic judicial candidates who were elected to the Superior Court and Circuit Court bench: Republicans Elected *Hon. Oscar Hebel, 249,910; *Hon. Marcus Kavanagh, 237,875; *Hon. Charles M. Foell, 238,382; Hon. Hosea W. Wells, 231,485; *Hon. Hugo Pam, 230,999; *Hop. Albert C. Barnes, WALTON LOSES FIRST APPEAL FOR U. S. RELIEF Oklahoma City, Okla.-Gov. J. C. Walton has lost in his effort to obtain federal intervention to stop his impeachment trial and his attorneys are preparing to go forward with the trial before the state senate court of impeachment.

He granted a rehearing, however, upon application of counsel for the governor, for which he will set a date later. Pleads Not Guilty Simultaneously with the hearing at Lawton, Gov. Walton, through counsel, appeared before the court of impeachment here and entered a plea of not guilty to each of the twenty-two charges in the impeachment bill. He 230,144; *Hon. William H.

Bolton, 169,157; Charles J. The answers to remaining charges were heard Thursday moning and the actual trial was to start at 1:30 p. m. The action by Judge Cotteral is believed to have removed the possibility of a delay in the opening of the trial. His decision not to take action was based on alleged lack of jurisdiction. Asks "Fair" Trial The court declined to consider a motion by George Short, state attorney general, to d'miss Gov. Walton's bill of complaint, and argument was heard directly on the bill, counsel confining themselves to a recital of Supreme court precedents. Gov. Walton sought a writ of subpoena by which witnesses would be summoned for a hearing on charges that he will not be tried fairly by the senate court of impeachment and that the impeachment charges are the result of a Ku Klux Klan conspiracy Michal, 168,914; Max M.

He also asked a restraining order and requested that it be made permanent if testimony adduced at the hearing provided a basis. GIRLS, DON'T FLIRT "Don't flirt. Those who flirt in haste repent in leisure. "Don't accept rides from motorists. They don't all invite you in to save you a walk. "Don't use you eyes for ogling—they were made for worthier purposes. "Don't go out with men you don't know—they may be married and you may be in for a hair-pulling match. "Don't wink. A flutter of one eye may cause a tear in the other. "Don't smile at flirtations strangers; save them for people you know. "Don't annex all the men you can get, for by flirting with many you may lose out on the one."-Ex. M. 466 HON. HUGO PAM Re-elected to the Superior Court of Cook County INDUSTRIAL SLUMP NOTED IN CLEVELAND Cleveland.—Due to the slowing up of the automobile industry and the completion of various construction products, an industrial slump is being felt in this city, and it is said that unskilled colored labor is being dropped in considerable numbers, causing some apprehension regarding their housing and care during the oncoming winter months. So curtailed has the output of certain plants become that many employers are resorting to the four or five-day working week. In the last issue of this newspaper, while rushing to get it out on time, the writer failed to insert the name of Hon. Frank H. Graham in among the names of the candidates which had been endorsed by it, for Judge of the Superior Court. We w'ish to assure Mr. Graham that it was an oversight on the part of the writer that his name failed to appear in the list of candidates referred to. [Name] HON.

JACKSON FOR CLEAN STREETS AND ALLEYS (Consideration of Resolution of Alderman Eaton that the Aldermen pledge themselves to appropriate certain moneys for street cleaning activities in the 1924 budget.) ALD. JACKSON: I quite agree, Mr. Chairman, with Alderman Eaton in his presentation of the resolution before this council. Four years ago I presented the same argument to the City Council when the budget was under consideration in the Committee of the Whole and they added one million dollars as a result of my resolution amendment. I made the same argument that Alderman Eaton has made today. I presented the same set of figures, the same statistics that he has presented today; and I will tell you if there is anything nearer to the hearts of the people of Chicago than the cleaning of streets and alleys, I do not know what it is. I do not think any of the Aldermen here should be afraid to go on record and have his constituents know that he positively stands for clean streets and alleys, because there is nothing more fundamental, there is nothing better upon which the city of Chicago can build than clean streets and clean alleys, and the preservation of its health. The majority of the complaints that come to my office and the letters I receive are based upon that one thing only. I am willing to give the Health Department every cent they need; I am also willing to give the Street Department every penny that it needs, in order that we may have our city to be just what Lloyd George said it was—the greatest city in the world. I want the people in my ward to know that I am in favor of increased appropriations to clean up the streets and alleys. [Name] HON. CHARLES M. FOELL Re-elected to the Superior Court of Cook County REPRESENTATIVE L. C. DYER GIVES $50 TO WORK OF N. A. A. C. P. NOTE New York City. — Representative Leonidas C. Dyer has sent a contribution of fifty dollars toward the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In connection with this donation the N. A. A. C. P. further stated that Mr. Dyer in addition to sponsoring and fighting for the Anti-Lynching Bill in Congress has toured the Far West, the Middle West and the Eastern States, speaking for the measure. For his campaign in behalf of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, Mr. Dyer received reimbursement for the expenses he incurred, but he has not accepted or received one cent for his efforts beyond his actual traveling expenses. Mr. Dyer has for several years been a member of the N. A. A. C. P. and has publicly commended it and asserted that the rapid progress the Anti-Lynching Bill made in the last Congress was due to the Advance ment Association's efforts. James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the Association, commenting on Mr. Dyer's gift, said: "This is only another evidence of the thing that Mr. Dyer has given abundant proof of: that he is one of the few white men willing to fight for justice to colored citizens not only to the extent of giving his time and devoted effort, but his money as well." Alderman Thomas F. Byrne, 6743 S. Irving Ave., who has for the past three weeks been confined at the hospital and at his home with a severe spell of sickness, much to the great delight of his many friends he is slowly improving and he expects to be able to be out again soon and attend the next meeting of the city council.

BOOK CHAT By MARY WHITE OVINGTON Chairman, Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People "THESE UNITED STATES" Edited by Ernest Gruening. Published by Messrs. Boni and Live- right, 195 W. 40th St., New York City. Price $3. Postage 10c extra. "Has the state you come from been overhaulied by The Nation yet?" is a question frequently asked this past year. For The Nation, New York's great humanitarian weekly, has been publishing a series of articles on the States of the Union. Very few has escaped unscathed. Vermont, whose story is charmingly written by Dorothy Canfield, makes the best showing, largely we surmise because she is poor. Were she to strike some hidden mine of wealth, she might differ little from her neighbors. East, West, North and South one learns of graft and materialism, of noble pioneering to be followed by ignoble exploitation. Out of the 27 states described in this first volume, Kansas, by William Allen White, is the best piece of writing. It describes the strength and the weakness of Puritanism. One feels proud of the State's noble humanitarianism, its sobriety, its lack of degrading poverty. But with this is an absence of creative art, of appreciation and love of beauty. Can the two, one wonders, never exist together? The Negro problem is a very present reality in "These United States." Ernest Gruening, editor of the series, wisely limits it to two of the 27 states, Mississippi and Alabama. But here he summons two of the greatest critics the South has today. Beulah Amidon SHORT CUTS Political illusions and the hair usually disappear together. The Republcan Regional Conference, which recently met at Denver, Colo., favored a federal anti-lynching bill. Steinmetz, internationally famous electrical wizard, who died last week, left as his total estate, a $15,000 insurance policy and an automobile. Two colored candidates for judicial positions are before the Republican voters: Edward H. Morris, in Chicago and Alexander H. Martin, in Cleveland. George Jones, colored janitor of a girls' school in Washington, was acquitted by a jury of attempted assault on 13-year-old Mildred Desper, a student. The physical director of the New York colored women's "Y" says fat ladies are so timid that athletic processes of reduction are not allowed to gain a foothold among them. Suit to recover $7,590 from the Red Cab Service, a colored taxi company of Washington, for alleged injuries, has been instituted by Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Mostow of that city. Mrs. A. Philip Randolph, first colored woman candidate, is out for assembly-woman in a New York City district, upon a platform of clean streets, more schools, better housing and a fair show for all races. While Lloyd George was in Louisville, Ky., he asked to hear some of the Negro plantation melodies. Students from Simmons University went to the residence of Judge Bingham and sang for the cx-premier. Joseph Cauffiel, formerly mayor of Johnstown, Pa., recently retired to private life by the will of the voters, is being sued for the $10,250 by D. A. Boyer, who alleges that the Negro Expulsion Mayor jockeyed him out of that amount in a slick deal. Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall, wife of Capt. Napoleon Marshall, United States military attache in Haiti, is visiting many points in this country, and last week appeared before the French Circle, at the national capital, in an informal address concerning the island republic. Dr. David B. Kollscritta, Afro-Semitic Cantor of Jewish themes, proficient in 28 languages, who claims direct origin from the famous visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon, is touring many cities in song. The doctor is a native of Abyssinia, now Ethiopia, and is 33 years old. Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Benjamin Gaskins and Royal A. Hughes, leading attorneys of Washington, D. C., are defending the accused in the case of U. S. against Copeland, who is on trial for the alleged murder of Lieut. David Dunigan, more than Ratliff and Clement Wood. Mrs. Ratliff writes of Mississippi. Her name first appeared in an article some years ago in the Atlantic Monthly entitled "A Man Hunt in Mississippi." Her story reminded one of Fannie Kemble's diary, and the Atlantic Monthly has been apologizing to its Southern constituency by sloppy "darky" sentiment ever since. Mrs. Ratliff has lost none of her force in her summary of the State in which she lived for some years. Black and white alike are degraded by race prejudice. She shows the plantation Negro in his ignorance, his hopelessness, his animal bestiality. But she points out clearly that the Southern planter keeps him purposely in this condition. He prefers to bear with dull, irresponsible labor rather than to see the Negro show any power. He knows that cleanliness, knowledge, would increase the Negro's ambition and he wants the Negro in a condition as close to slavery as possible. Thus he degrades his worker and he degrades himself. Child labor, illiteracy, narrow provincialism, an inability to face facts, these are attributes of white Mississippi. Alabama is treated by Clement Wood whose novel, "Nigger," I reviewed some months ago. Miscegenation is the keynote of this article and never has the subject been treated more eloquently and fearlessly. Every colored man and woman should read it to know what this white Alabaman is saying. They may not agree with his solution, Absorption, but they will follow him breathlessly as he reaches it. "A Study in Ultra-Violet," Mr. Wood calls his article, and it is a great chapter in a great book. four years ago. During the interim, Copeland, who escaped jail and fled to Ohio, where he was recently apprehended, has been an industrious employee called "Golden" in that state. SOME OF THE MANY IMPORT ANT VALUES OF A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION By Charles Stewart, Jr. "Two rewards come to those who are prepared: one is the ability to enjoy life keenly and intelligently; the other is the ability to do one's work with satisfaction and success. Wisely chosen school training is a very large factor in developing these abilities. If you take whole-hearted advantage of your opportunities for such training, you will be among the fortunate "Work you like is usually work you can do well, and at the same time work which calls into action a good measure of your talents. You need to study your native abilities, to develop them, to try them out, to train yourself for some definite line of activity. To help you in this selection a series of folders of occupations has been prepared. More will follow. Although these folders emphasize the importance of training for work, do not forget the equal importance of cultural education, through which you may develop the ability to appreciate the great field of life outside your own particular work and become a valuable and intelligent American citizen." This is Superintendent of Schools Mortents's introduction to a series of pamphlets now being issued by the Vocation Guidance Bureau of the Chicago Public Schools on "Occupation." The six pamphlets which have thus far appeared are: "Do You Want to Be a Private Secretary?" "Do You Want to Be a Librarian?" Do You Want to Be a Salesman?" Do You Want to Be a Pharmacist?" "Do You Want to Teach?" "What Do You Want to Be?" Miss Katherine White has prepared a pen sketch for the cover of each pamphlet which is very appropriate for the subject under discussion. In the pamphlet "What Do You Want to Be?" Superintendent Mortenson gives his introduction to the boys and girls. Page three gives statements from John J. Mitchell, president, Illinois Trust & Savings Bank; Cyrus McCormick, International Harvester Company; John G. Shedd, president Marshall Field & Company; Joseph R. Novel, The Chicago Association of Commerce, and Julius Rosenwald, president Sears, Roebuck & Company, on what they think is the value of a High School education. Page four gives a list of bulletins which are to be distributed to the public. Bulletins on the following occupations are ready for distribution: Accounting, Advertising, Architecture, Banking, Chemistry, Business Executive, Civil Service, Contracting, Dentistry, Drafting, Employment Management, Engineering, Farming and Foreign Commercial Service. If any of these pamphlets are desired and the Vocational Advisor in your school cannot supply you, a letter to Anne S. Davis, Director, Vocation Guidance Department, Board of Education, 460 South State street, Chicago, Ill., will secure for you the desired pamphlets. MR. JUSTICE ALBERT C. BARNES Re-elected to the Superior Court of Cook County W. H. HON. WILLIAM N. GEMMILL Elected Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has issued an urgent appeal that petitions and signatures for the release of the 24th Infantrymen now in Leavenworth prison for their share in the Houston riot, be sent in as early as possible to the National Office, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York City, in order to facilitate the enormous amount of clerical work that will have to be done.

Mrs. Ethellyn Graves, chairman of the Third Ward Community Club, and Mrs. Lillian I. Bromder, corresponding secretary, and several of its members freely expended much of their time the past two weeks at the headquarters of Mr. Daniel Ryan, Jr., at the Sherman House and assisted the white ladies to send out much of his literature, in favor of his election for County Commissioner. On Tuesday, November 6, he received the votes of many colored people residing in this city and county. AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK By Charles Stewart, Jr. On September 26, last, President Calvin Coolidge issued a proclamation declaring the week of November 18-24 as American Education Week. All churches, schools, labor organizations, fraternal bodies and clubs are specially urged to co-operate with this movement. In his proclamation he states, "We have observed the evidences of a broadening vision of the whole educational system. This has included a recognition that education must not end with the period of school attendance, but must be given every encouragement thereafter. To this end the night schools of the cities, the moonlight schools of the southern Appalachian countries, the extension work of the colleges and universities, the provision for teaching technical, agricultural and mechanical arts, have marked out the path to a broader and more widely diffused national culture. To insure permanence and continuing improvements of such an educational policy, there must be the fullest public realization of its absolute necessity. Every American citizen is entitled to a liberal education. Without this there is no guarantee for the permanence of free institutions, no hope of perpetuating self-government. Despotism finds its chief support in ignorance. Knowledge and freedom go hand in hand. "In order that the people of the nation may think of these things, it is desirable that there should be an annual observance of Education Week. Now, therefore, I, Calvin Coelidge, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week beginning on the eighteenth of November, next, as National Education Week, and urge its observance through the country," etc. I would suggest that your organization arrange for special program this week. Through the combined efforts of the American Legion, the National Education Association and the United States Bureau of Education, a program for each day has been arranged. If they convene on the day designated in the program it is urged that special attention be given to the subject for that day. Their program reads as follows: For God and Country Sunday, November 18, 1923. 1. Education in the home. 2. Education in the school. 3. Education in the church. Slogans: A Godly nation cannot fail.

STUMP, THE REGULAR OLD TIME TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS LANDED AT HOUSTON, TEX., ON HIS WAY TO OLD CHICAGO. Houston, Texas.—Although I have been sick, the world has never stopped for a moment to see whether I was dead or still living, but has gone right on, and I guess this is what should have been done, for I cannot afford to stop the world just because I am sick, and will not do so today. I am not well, but have improved just a little, yet I continue to stop and go to bed, and so many seem to be anxious about me. But let me stop talking about myself, to remind you that another one of our great men has gone from us, and this time it is Charles Banks, of Mound Bayou, Miss., first vice president of the National Negro Business League, and the man who really brought Mound Bayou to the attention of the world. He devoted his heart to the cause, and was a man of the race as well of affairs. I have known him for a long time. It was my pleasure to meet him in 1896, when with Bishop Derrick I was in conference at Clarksdale. I went to town early one morning, and he was the one who met the people coming to the conference. We had a little tilt, but from that time became good friends. He was engaged in business there, and was doing well. Later he went down to Mound Bayou, believing that it was possible to put that place on the map, and he soon became an important factor in the town. He established the Bank of Mound Bayou, and was instrumental in bringing many things into the city. He built an oil mill there at a cost of one hundred thousand dollars, and it will ever stand as a monument to the man whose life was spent for his people. There came into his life some domestic affairs; and he has spent much of his time of late years in Memphis. I was indeed sorry when I saw in the Houston Informer that he had crossed over, and I said just one more gone ahead. One by one we are dropping out in all walks of life. I saw Mr. Banks at the last session of the National Negro Business League and then he was feeble, but I did not realize that it would be the last time I would have the pleasure of shaking his hands. We can never tell, for I think of how near the brink I have been. I am now waiting for the summons to come to me and when it comes, I will fold my arms and cross over, for it is all right with me. Here I am in Houston this week, but honey, I have been in bed all the week. The people are certainly trying to help me get well, and some of them want me to continue to live down here for a little longer, and they are doing all in their power to help me take the much needed rest. They are doing it in a way that counts, or in a tangible way, for just this week comes a letter from Bishop John Hurst, of the African Methodist Episcopal church, sending me $10, and he was in Florida; another from Dr. L. K. Williams, of Olivet Baptist church, and president of the National Baptist convention, sending $10 to "Brother Charley"; one from J. M. Avery, of Durham, N. C., sending me just $50, and J. H. Branham, assistant pastor of Olivet, Chicago, sending along $5. I did not realize that people thought so much of me, and were so anxious about my health. I have a letter from Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Falconer, Hot Springs, inviting me to come right on there and let them take care of me, and Miss B. C. Ford, who is a clerk in the office of the Woodmen of Union, says that she will be the nurse. But why talk about myself in this letter when you want to know something else. As I told you in another letter before this I went to San Antonio, a health place, and was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. S. J. Johnson, and believe me, they were kind to me, nursed me, saw that I got my mediqs 'say me 'say me 'say me no us as I could eat. I have told you about Rev. Johnson before, he is the man who is to succeed Dr. Benjamin Franklin Watson as secretary of the Church Extension, and he is fitted for the place. He has a fine home in the city, and I am real proud of him and of what he has done. There was a conference in session in San Antonio; the Southwest Texas conference, presided over by Bishop Will'am Decker Johnson, and at the same time the General Baptist convention met in the same city, presided over by Bishop L. L. Campbell. Two strong bodies, and brought to that city a large number of real visitors as well as those who were directly interested in the meeting. I looked in on both of them. Had a cordial reception from Bishop Johnson and his ministers, but Bishop Campbell was too busy to give me a cordial reception. Well, he had many things to do, and after he had closed one session, he said that he saw me in the house and that I was his friend, and he was glad to see me, but I did not get in touch with the convention per se. They had many problems to consider and had so many big men of their own coming, such as President J. E. Woods, from Kentucky, Henry Allen Boyd from Nashville, Tenn.; Cora Jordan White from Nashville; the Rev. Dr. Madison, from Norfolk, Va., and a fellow from the National Baptist convention, could not find a place there exactly. It was Friday, I saw him a second time, and he said to me that I should have sent him a letter or telegram that I was going to be in town, for he would have been glad to have had me write up the convention, and he could have given me plenty of money for so doing. I did not reply, but just looked wise, and that was as well as looking otherwise. Now is the time that all of our people who are interested in recognition of the race, should turn attention to the appointment made by the late President Warren G. Harding to Hon. Walter Cohen, of New Orleans, for I believe he should be confirmed by the Senate and if necessary President Coolidge should send his name in again. We will be called on next year to help to elect a president and some senators, and let us note the men who do not stand with us. We have votes enough north and east to count for something. So many men and women who will have been up there long enough to get their hands on that little piece of paper. I am sure they will use it to advantage, and I am not saying how it will be, nor am I making any threats about this, that or the other. When the time comes I am going to speak right out in church. I had a letter recently from Miss Anna L. Crisp, a public stenographer and court reporter in Chicago, commending the work of Charles Stewart, Jr., saying that he was truly the son of his father. I have had the pleasure of meeting his father on several occasions, and I hope he will measure up to the, work of the old man. Charles Stewart is somewhere now in the country, and I imagine I see him with his Remington making his way to some meeting or something else. I am not at all in good shape yet, and I hope you will continue to pray for me that they will not let the bugs get me. Dr. George Cleveland Hall is praying and working, and he is a bug finder, one of the best in America. The world will some day know his worth and value. I may have something to tell you in my next letter about Houston. You will remember Houston. We had some soldiers here once, and by the way, there is being circulated a petition to be sent to the President asking him to let the soldiers out of the federal penitentiary. I hope you will sign one if you have not yet done so. The National Association has sent it out after a visit to Leavenworth. I shall say more about it in another letter. The Arkansas Baptist state convention meets in Helena, November 14, and I am going to try to get there. Charles E. Stump Particular interest is centering around the various Patou models, writes a Paris fashion correspondent in the New York Tribune. There is no avoiding the fact that Jean Patou has drawn to him the interest of the American importer. This is largely because he is a business man as well as an artist and not only makes beautiful clothes but knows how to present them and sell them. This designer makes a most unusual and at the same time a most emphatic use of the flare. Practically every garment in his line has the flare cut somewhere, either in front, at the back or on the side. The flare is so discreet, however, that it is barely noticeable. Thus it takes nothing from the straight silhouette, but rather emphasizes while softening the slender line of the body. Paton divides woman's day into its various component parts. He overlocks no hour in the day when he may enhance the charms of the fashionable woman with beautiful clothes. There are delightful sports things, dresses for tennis, for golf, for mountain climbing, for shooting, as to make one feel that it actually is a complement to the dress. Then for snowy days and for languald southern ones. There are coats and wraps for flying, for rain and for traveling. He shows smart little tailored suits and blouses for the morning promenade, for shopping, for the races and for restaurant de jeuner—three-piece suits of infinite variety from the standpoint of color and trimming. He features the ensemble consisting of dress and coat, the coat sometimes matching exactly and again contrasting in just such a way. There are tailored dresses for both morning and afternoon wear and an enchanting series of dancing dresses and tea frocks. Beautiful Tea Gowns. Not overlooking the woman who often remains at home for tea he has made most beautiful costumes d'interieur and tea gowns. Many of the latter will serve beautifully for intimate dinner dresses—what the French term diner chez-sol. Every imaginable thing for informal as well as elaborate evening functions has been thought out by Faton, including the gorgeous evening costume, where the dress and the coat match or are brought into harmony through similarity in color, material or trimming. As a source of inspiration for many of his trimmings, Paton has turned to Chinese, Persian and Hindu-Chinese gowns. He has had special materials woven for him by the Societe France. He has a series of beautiful patterns which he puts out under the name of Tapisserie a Beyruth. Another lovely material which comes in all colors is an embroidered satin called Ecran Persan. Still another is an embroidered metal brocade which is named Lame Persan and Lame Indus and a beautiful series of embroidered patterns called Fleurs de Japan. There is also a lovely brocade which he puts out under the name Laque Coromande, which is a very dull crepe on one side and on the other a satin of high luster. Use of Double-Faced Fabrics. He does all kinds of interesting things with this two-surfaced silk. A model typical of Patou n's new silhou THE FASHION WEEKLY Coat of Broadoloth Worked by an Ap- plique Pattern of Tiny Cornucopia Cut From Same Material. Trimmed With Brown Fur.

Trimmed With Brown Fur. ette as well as his clever use of materials, is in black crepe Byzantine, the special new satin-surfaced reversible crepe just mentioned. The two large circular dounces are mounted with the satin surface outside. The body of the robe shows the dull crepe side. He also has a Byzantine broche which has most delightful little Jacquard patterns in self-tone fabric. Wild to Go Out. "I understand the audience went wild when you got up to speak." "Yes. For a time I was afraid some of them would be crushed to death in the exits." all over the surface. Sometimes he uses this brocaded crepe along with plain crepe in one dress. One of Patou's evening dresses, simple in line but of most striking and beautiful metal brocade, is further enhanced by vari-color and metal embroideries. He has named it Nuit de Chhue. He does another clever thing with wool reps. This material he uses with the reps line, cut both vertically and in bayadere line. It is curious what a difference this makes in the tone or surface of the fabric. It would seem as if two different materials were used. Many of the patterns in the embroideries and brocades are done from drawings by Patou himself. One of his newest models showing his origi- THE FASHION WEEKLY Brown Velvet Dress and Coat, Lines of the Coat Are Made to Harmonize With the Cut of the Dress, Which Is of Blouse Type. Brown Velvet Dress and Coat, Lines of the Coat Are Made to Harmonize With the Cut of the Dress, Which Is of Blouse Type. nal treatment of embroideries consists of a dress and coat of brown velvet and beautiful Persian embroidered crepe Byzantine in brown and red. Three Afternoon Costumes. The lines of the coat harmonize perfectly with the cut of the dress. Both the basque of the coat and the flounce of the dress skirt flare at the same angle. The upper part of the dress is made with the beautiful Persian-patterned embroidery. The return to the old traditions of the Haute Couture brings in its train the triumph of the full evening dress. In the restaurant, the theater or in society the woman in the simple dinner dress cuts a poor figure beside the more brilliant full-dress; the unpretentious little dress for evening wear, easy to put on, is being dethroned by the full evening dress, and it is only simple justice, since the men discard more and more that ennobled garment, the dinner jacket, for the dress-coat. The dress-coat demands the accompaniment of a beautiful robe, very decollete, sumptuous and brilliant. Those in the important collections fulfill these conditions without restriction. There is an orgy of richness in laminated fabrics, colored velvets and dazzling embroideries. The dress which symbolizes this reviving pomp is the dress called "orrouge," of which the sumptuous material and the original trimming together form an ensemble worthy of the Arabian Nights. The Oriental note is strongly emphasized in all embroideries. An interesting novelty in this needlework is the introduction of tiny mirrors, such as are seen on the skirts of the Nautte girl dancers. Some of the coats and dresses are entirely covered with Chinese and Japanese landscape designs, usually done in metal of one color only. Black and White Effects. There are exquisite things in metal cloth with metal embroideries and many lovely white effects with embroidery in black. Gray is quite strongly featured, particularly gray plush. A lovely, three-piece model in gray plush, trimmed with brilliants, is called Nanouk, and makes one think of the North pole. The strictly tailor-made has not regained its vogue; the elegant woman wears it but little and only on very definite occasions, such as for traveling or for morning outings. Apart from these occasions, and often even on these occasions, the tailor-made is discarded for the cloak-dress made in woolen velvet, cotton velvet or in grain de poudre. These dresses are profusely trimmed with fur in order to give them that comfortable and warm appearance essential to a winter garment. When the tailor-made is worn the finishing touch of elegance is attained with the ever-fashionable blue or silver fox scarf. Innumerable chemise dresses in serge in velvet and in Smyrna cloths are shown. Women may rest easy that the chemise dress has been saved for them. Cairo Newspapers.
