New York.—Details of the woman'a

extravagance. From the little hag she
carries to her umbrella and parasol,

artistic treatment. Every detail of her

present It Is the Persian turban which
has the widest Influence.
At l.onKchamps the most seductive
dresses wen l nothing more or less than
Kgtptlan. Gowns of supple silk, full
of the color of the fiery sands, had
no waistline but buttoned from the
neck to the bottom of the basque down
the middle of the front, where the
basque at the bottom was enlarged
with several points. This basque fell
over a narrow skirt of matching serge,
Its shortness showing feet well shod
lu hlgh-hoeled low shoes decoitted
with large laiuia XIV buckles. A soft
and pliant scarf passed about the hips
and fell In front in two flat ends. To

of white vloleta was worn at the belt,
while around the neck was a ruche ol

with tight, small pink roses placed

to the touch. Even the linens, striped
and flowered, nre art-inspired and re.
veal all the poetry of the Romantic
period.
A striking frock to bo worn after
boons 1 have used for my first Illus
tration. Dark blue taffeta Is com
bined with taffeta, having a crude col
ored Futurist design strewn carelessly
across It. Long ends of this floured
silk are attached to the fronts of the
blue taffeta waist and tie loosely in
the back. The skirt of solid blue has
punnlers of the rigured silk, draped
bouffant at each side.
The second frock, also Illustrated, is
of the new sheer gingham called tis
sue gingham. It Is similar to a voile,
Imt has more body to Its texture. This
material In solid light blue wns com
bined with white tissue gingham hav
ing squares, blocked off by a hair
line of black. The main portion qf
the waist and of the sklrtr are of the
solid bhie. The fronts of the waist
ar» of the checked material, bound on
the front edge with black. Ruffles of
this fall from the bottom of the short
sleeves and show beneath the bustle
skirt, also bound with black. Rinding
Instead of hemming Is the latest smact
finish. A net chemisette, with a col
lar of Inee wired to flare, complete
this delightful frock.
The return of the Jumper waist for
the smart spring taffeta frock has
solved many a problem for the eco
nomical woman. The orgundy sleeves
give the appearance of an under
blouse, as the same organdy shows In
front. In the high or surpliced vest.
The sleeves can be elbow or wrist
length, with an organdy cuff ts long,
and with a frill of lace If short, anti
a more elaborate costume Is desired.
Two effects are strongly marked this
season In the line of the bottom of
the skirt. One, the narrow, tight-fit
ting under-skirt that has a stnong
trouser effect, and the other frills,
either frill on frill, lifted at each side;
or peeping gaily from under the up
draped overskirt. These narrow skirts,
that spread as the frilled flounces give
to each step, nre fascinating for dance
frocks, ns they prevent the short dance
skirt from having a hard, unbecom
ing binding line shout the ankle which
ts usual with the straight, narrew
skirt, so suitable for long tunic and
tailored frock*.
The wider skirt Is Inevitable, If the
tendency to pleats, now so strong,
continues In vogue Flat side pleats
are seen on many sktrta, falling
straight from the line of the belt to
the bottom of the skirt, extending only
across either the front or the back of
the skirt. This tendency to pleats Is
seen iu many varieties of plested tu
nics. and in the much-used trimming
of box-pleated. or knife-pleated taf
feta frills to edge tunics, ruffles and
cape*
Speaking of capes, we now see the
result which Is usunlly the case when
one style of garment becomes enthu
siastically adopted. Instead of one
tyre of capo we »oc a variety of t>pvs,
and many variations of each type,
I which have sprung up like mushrooms,
I over night. The tall woman, who is
I slight, chooses a cape long and ample,
lined with color and trimmed near
the collar with a line of little buttons.
, A superb blonde, who has a full, tall
figure, can drape, herself In a mys
terious dark cape, built on the lines
of an Italian gendarme. The result Is
a style not to be worn by everyone.
Further dveeloped, we see the smaller
and more graceful short capes, falling
from the shoulders for the most part
only in the back, and having a large
square collar. These are not unlike
the capes worn by Harlequin, Colum
bine, and even Pierrot.
Under the influence of the cape has
appeared the reiiingote, topped by Dl
[ rectolre hunting capes. This, with a
shortened basque and with an enlarged
cape, gives us a hybrid mantle, which
has been received with great, enthu
siasm, and is distinctly smart.
"Mlgnon" cape*, hanging from the
shoulders of the small bolero Jacket,
are the exact opposites from the Bre
ton cape and the Roman toga, which
are most suitable for motoring.

tended that all decisions under the Sher

monopolies from provisions of the act
and that the law did not restrict In any
way the purchase or accumulation of
patents. The shoe machinery Industry

R. H. SECURITIES
BILL ISJASSEU
Close Regulation and Control
of Stocks and Bonds of Rail
ways Given By Measure.
Washington— Another of the admin
istration’s anti-trust measures, the
railroad securities bill, passed the
house late yesterday.
Close regulation and contro' of the
stocks and bonds of railroads before
the Interstate commerce commission
is prdjposecl by this substitute for the
Rayburn bill, prepared by the house
interstate and foreign commerce com
mittee and considered by the house
as the last measure of the adminis
tration ar.ti-trust program. The com
mittee divided the Rayburn measure
into the two sections in order that
one might stand if the constitutional
ity of the other failed in the courts.
The bill makes it unlawful for any
common carrier to issue stocks, bonds)
notes or other evidences of indebted
ness without the approval of the com
mission.
Broadens Powers.
The bill broadens the powers of the
commission to require information
from railroads and other common car
riers and prescribes an elaborate sys
tem of reports. The commission would
be authorized hy the bill to require
periodical or special reports on the
financial condition of railroads, bal
anced statements of receipts and ex
penditures in relations to capital ac
counts, and all other financial trans
actions.
Before issuing stocks or bonds, the
bill would require railroads to file
with the commission a certificate of
notification, showing in detail the
character of the securities, the pur
poses for which they are to be issued,
and the disposition to be made of
them. Such certificates the bill makes
public record and open to inspection.
The bill would give the commission
wide authority for the examination of
the books of railroads and would pro
vide penalties for the concealing of
information from the commission.
Authority Given.
Giving the commission authority to
supervise Issues of securities the' bill
said:
"It shall be unlawful for any com
mon carrier subject to the act to regu
late commerce, to issue any capital
stock or certificate of stock or any
bond or other evidence of indebted
ness or to assume any obligation as
lessor, guarantor, or surety for the
securities of any person, natural or
artificial, even though permitted by
the authority creating the carrier cor
poration, except for some purpose
within its corporate powers necessary
to the proper performance of its serv
ice for the public and not tending to
impair the financial ability of thp
carrier to discharge Its duty to the
public.
Unlawful.
“It shall likewise be unlawful to is
sue any such stocks or bonds for the
purpoaes hereinbefore mentioned or
for any other purpose unless and un
til upon application and after inves
tigation in the premises by the inter
state commerec commission of the
purposes and use of the issue and the
proceeds thereof, such issue is ap
proved by said commission as neces
sary and appropriate for the purpose
states; PROVIDED: That nothing
herein shall be construed to imply any
guaranty or obligation as to such is
sue on the part of the United States.”
The bill exempts from this provision
notes maturing not more than two
years after their issue, when they do
not aggregate more hant five per cent
of the outstanding obligations of the
issuing road.
The measure provides that the com

The bill carries a prohibition, ef

without the commission’s approval. It
also would make it unlawful for any

suoo.ooo
Successors to Firm Founded by
Vice Pres’t Levi P. Morton
Fail in London.
London,—Chaplin, Milane, Grenfell
& Company, Limited, the well known
firm of merchants and bankers in bus
iness at No. 6 Princes Street, suspend
ed today.
The company was registered in 1899
to take over the business of Morton,
Chaplin & Company, (formerly Mor
ton, Rose & Company.) Its authorized
capital is $1,750,000. It was an old es
tablished one with high reputation and
excellent family connection. It con
ducted general and private banking
and a company for promoting business.
The directors include Ernest Chaplin,
G. Grinnell Milne and R. W. Skipwlth.
The unsecured liabilities, it is sup
posed, amount to $5,000,000. The fail
ure is believed to be the result of large
operations in Grand Trunk by Arthur
Morton Grenfell, who formerly was a
member of the firm. It is said several
Canadian and other companies where
in he was interested, are involved.
Earl Grey, whose daughter was Gren
fell’s first wife, is reported among the
heavy losers. The firm recently issued
a notice that Grenfell had not been
connected therewith since February 17.
In Canada.
London. —Affairs of the bank were
largely involved with the Canadian
Agency, Limited, controlled hy Ar
thur Grenfell, which had been en
deavoring to purchase a controlling
interest in the Grand Trunk Railway,
When those securities depreciated,
obligations created by the purchase of
large quantities of them were taken
over by a strong £roup of financial
houses in order to protect the many
stock exchange firms Involved.
The bank is believed, however, to
be entirely eolvent. The total of the
deposits is understood to have been
greatly diminished in the past montii.
and the amount outstanding is believ
ed to be about $1,250,000.
Further failures in connection with
this one are not expected.
Members of Grenfell’s family are
coming to his assistance in the set
tlement of bis affairs.
No N. Y. Interests.
New York •—So far as known, Chap
lin, Milne & Grenfell had no commit
ments or Interests in thl* market and
at no time was the firm active in
American securities.
