NEW YORK—(U.R) —Dame Fashion is herself again! Which is to say that strange fashions, period frocks, foolish looking hats and other weird designs have practically disappeared. And in their plcae we have delightful, sane clothes that are wearable, smart, flattering ami, best of all, absolutely modern. Women have wisely decided to keep h istory out of the scheme sartorial, reserving flounced flocks with lace petticoats and similar oddities to the fancy dress field. And men. it seems, are vastly relieved. Just what IS being worn just now is asked by almost every women when she meets a stylist, and the answer invariably indicates that almost everything that is charming is the mode. But of course certain fashions do stand out. For one thing, the ensemble idea is gaining ground and by next Spring we shall find that almost every type of costume, from morning and sports wear to formal evening frocks, has each its own detachable capelet or matching jacket. Coats show no radical change. Occasionally one sees a red or green coat, but mostly it is a case of black coats for dressy wear and brown for general or sport wear., Os course several new details are being developed, one of these being the coat with the scarf collar that can he manipulated in var- * NOTES OF TRIAL ♦ ♦ Ed Miller, called champion hogcaller of the county, caused some smiles and occasional laughter while on the stand this morning. Saying he had heard of some gun trouble Joe had he was asked: ‘ls there a store at Salem?'' “You betcha" said Ed with that radiant smile of his. “Did you ever fish at the Pleasant Mills quarry?" “Yes sir, once three years ago." “See Joe Everett there?" “Yes sir.” “Talk to him?" “Yes sir." “What abbut?” “Asked him where the best place was to fish.” “He didn't tell you did he?” “Yes sir. he showed ns.” Ami you could sure hear Ed ' speak out. s ’ Gerald Fry who was an import- ■ ant defense witness was on the stand about three hours last eve- . ning and this morning. He is 25 1 years old. drives a motorcycle, 1 likes to fish and lias lived on a farm rented by the Everett broth- < eis part of the time. ; Joe Everett, the defendant does i not talk much with anybody and I rarely leaves his seat. During intermission his folks converse with him but most of the time Joe sits quietly looking away as: though studying. A peculiar habit j of his is to lace his shoes only half way and he wears them that way yet. Seated with the relatives of the defendant this morning was another sister. Mrs. Frank Dellinger of Salem and her little eight week’s old son, Louis Alfred, this being their first appearance in court. Delane Werling, little three-year old son of the deceased, Doras; Werling, has been in court since the trial opened and is certainly a well behaved child. Not once has he disturbed any one, spend-

ious ways. Fur trimmings find astrakhan. Persian lamb and blue fox well in the lead. Although skunk has not been much cited, a steady demand for the velvet coat trimmed with glossy skunk is reported from all types of shops. And this brings us to velvet, the most important material of the season for dress wear. Afternoon frocks of velvet with lace or lame trim appear everywhere, complemented by the velvet hat. The velvet coat often has velvet stipes and a velvet bag to complete the ensemble idea. Glittering lame is one of the most important of evening fabrics. Because of the lavish, regal quality of lame it is invariably treated with a simplicity of cut and detail with the closely molded bodice and snug hipline sections that characterize the best evening frocks. Satins of high luster surface, laces, both in cobwebby texture and coarse open patterns, are important, as is that old standby, dull crepe. The velvet evening frock is, by this time, a definite part of the evening scene and is seen everywhere, both in simple but effective cut. without any trimming except intricate detail, and also trimmed plentifully with glittering rhiriestones. i In the evening wrap section. ! velvet predominates with lame a | close second.

I trend in favor of the three-quarter ! cloak. After all, the three-quarter wTap, cut on not very fitted or I definite lines, is most practical as . it can be worn with any type of . dress, varying from the slinky ■ type to the flounced or bustle- > effect model. The long velvet wrap i of bright hue is frequently tin- ■ trimmed with fur but instead showintricate shirring on a very full > collar and huge sleeves marked by i much detail. After all. unless one > is able to have a costly fur such as real white fox or ermine it is ■ infinitely better and smarter to have an unfurred wrap of fine I velvet. Evening shoes show’ sev- ’ eral variations of the sandal, but t many of the smartest dressers are I i wearing the plain pump of crepe i or satin. This is usually what ’ occtirs when the fancy has run - the-*gamut of* designs. In the millinery world, the small > hat registers. Velvet for dress , wear, felt for general wear is the ; thing. Many of the hats have the ■ cute little nose veils that so many i women find so fascinating. The ‘ beret is predominant, many of the ■’! new hats showing intricate stitch- . I ing. For general wear the felt hat of modified cloche design is liked. ' These, too. are often stitched in .i an all-over design on checker i board lines. All in all, simplicity 51 of line with a wealth of intricate II detail marks every section of the r mode. Rum Shin Sinks Woods Hole.
