fpHERE is something appealing about the flight of a gay
I X colored butterfly it keeps itself brightly out of reach
and lures one on to admiration. So it is with fashion. As
the admirer keeps as closely as possible in pursuit of the
butterfly for a moment of admiration, so milady keeps apace
with the modes of the moment.
Fashion, indeed, lends new interest to life, for in their
constant, seasonable changing there is a fleeting appeal. It is
a normal, delightful desire to follow the trend and to meet the
advent of new things as nearly as means and taste will per
mit.
The odds are just about even between the straight and
the flared silhouette for this fall. There are many women
who never feel quite comfortable in the flaring models that
are worn so becomingly by other women. The straight and
Blender silhouette, however, is carried out most exquisitely
in coats. It is ift the dressesThat the flared line gains prom
inence.
Fullness in Ripple Treatment
The stores are showing the most beautiful formal coats
we have ever seen. Although the coats silhouette is straight,
it is the side flare that adds interest. This fullness is created
by ripple treatments, semi-detached drapes or panels, or "by
projecting the overlap. Tiers are also introduced and these
appear in amusing ways in both the front and the back of the
models, and these are usually straight.
When selecting your fall coat this season you will be
?"vd6truck by the generous use of fur trimming. Great collars
'ir form a flattering frame for the face, and smart gloved hands
will peep out from huge and interesting cuffs of fur. Cuffs
'rare deep and peaked, with the point shifted into various posi
j? tions. The bell cuff that starts at the elbow and ends at the
"i wrist, of fur, is also being shown on some of the smartest
i'l coats. The gauntlet cuff is also frequently ntoed.
f -I , Brown Furs on Black
We noted as we shopped around for our fashion infor
mation, that brown furs on black were given much preference
Brown furs, of course, were very prominent, too, on beige
fabrics. Fitch is an extremely important fur trimming for
lall, and beaver, kolinsky, lynx, dyed cross fox, badger and
black caracul are also much used. Coats for traveling are
from rough tweeds in black and white, bue and gray, brown
and white, green and white or heather mixtures. The newest
are in diagonal, basket or linen weaves. The dressier coats
are in soft woolens with a chamois-like surface such as duve
tyne, silk broadcloth, velour de laine, broadcloth, velour de
lame, broadcloth, velours, wool crepe and kasha-like ma
terials. One of the most pronounced colors in coats for fall is
red. Green is also shown much more than it has been for
many seasons. Beige remains important and gray follows
closely, but of all of these, black is accorded first place..
Diversified Evening Mode - ,
The evening mode for fall is interesting because it is so
Biversified. The mode of princess' line is important and back
lfullness continues. Two of; the most famous Paris cou-

are printed velvet, satins, moire, chiffon and metal brocades.
Hips are swathed closely in gypsy-like girdles that have
todices that are slightly bloused and fullness placed low on
the skirt. New neck treatments in evening gown's are pro
nounced, square neck and V being most important. Evening
dresses sponsor length at the back and sides.

kerchief drapes are applied to suggest irregular outline at the
hips and at the same time to create a feminine appearance.
The bodices of evening frocks are cut with longer lines. In
afternoon dresses, scarfs as used and some of the smartest
that we saw had Bertha-like collars . One on this order pre

Eighty Per Cent of
World's Diamonds
Go to Women in U.S.
Third of Billion Dollars Worth of Precious Jewels

LONDON, Sept. 11, AP. American women now buy 80
per cent of the diamon doutput of the world, according to mer-
cants of Hatton Garden, a renter of the world's diamond
trade.
More than $35,000,000 have been sold to America during
the past few months. It is estimated that 10,000,000 caxats'l
are now in America.
Since 1870, South Africa has been the center of the dia
mond industry, although Brazil and India also yield a large
supply. The lower Vaal and the Orange rivers are the most
productive sources of alluvial or river diamonds, which are
so numerous along some parts of the banks that they can be
picked up as easily as pebbles. To prevent appropriation
by visitors, or by native workers, government restrictions
are severely enforced and a thorough examination is made of
everyone leaving the compounds on the diamond fields.
.The bulk of the fine diamonds, however, is obtained
from the hard bluish-green serpentinous rock known as
"blue ground" which is found in funnels or craters deep
within the earth. The actual origin of the precious stone
is mysterious. Chemically, it is similar to charcoal to which
it can be reduced by combustion, but its physical properties
are entirely different. Volcanic changes are presumed to
be associated with its formation.
Diamonds were first discovered in South Africa in 1867
by children who, while playing on the banks of the Orange
river, picked up what they thought was a shiny pebble, and
toyed with it for days before their "mother noticed it and
showed it as a curiosity to a neighbor. It was sent in an un
sealed envelope to Dr. W. G. Atherstone, a minerologist jn
Grahamstone, who identified it.
No one viewing a truckload of diamantiferous ground
brought up through the shafts which connect the mine's tun
nels with the surface, can tell whether the sensation of the
world or only a stone of minor value may be contained there
in. The ground is first fed through perforated cylinders
into shallow cylindrical troughs filled with water and
equipped with revolving toothed arms which sweep'the dia
monds and other heavy minerals to the surface while the
debris escapes from the center of the pan. (J
The diamonds and other minerals are then passed over
sloping tables where they are shaken to and fro under a
stream of water which induces a second separation of the
precious stones from the other concentrates. Then the res
idue is washed down a sloping table thickly coated with
grease.
Women's Hats

Type
For the Coming Season
For More Lies Back of Designs and Models for Fem
inine Head Gear Than Can be Discerned
Upon the Surface
TO the casual reader of the written word on style there
must be momentarily confusion when style's makers
write of the mode in headgear for the new season. Especially
the wholesalers are having a veritable picnic with their
strange talk of hats and things.
We always thought that encrustations were something
like barnacles on a ship and considered not desirable. One
milliner, we find, makes a specialty of these, so, of course,
they must be correct. Then again, a hat, we supposed was
distinctly a head-piece; but we notice that it has a "body."
And there is something very amusing about calling a hat "the
elephant ear mode" and expecting people to take it seriously.
Application of Sixth Sense
But there we must cease from our questioning. Doubt
less this is all very well from the wholesaler's standpoint. He
and his brethren understand each other, and how can we,
"ultimate consumer" that we are, be expected to know.
Just what sixth sense is it that the designer possesses
that makes it possible for her to put a felt on one's head,
take three little tucks abaft the port eye, four little folds at
the nape of the neck, cut a piece out of the brim and turn it
back with a pin and lo, you observe yourself ia a very smart
hat!
Considering that we each must be in styles and yet each
must have her hat distinctive and different, it is this, the
milliner's artistry, the more amazing?
The new notes for fall seem to strike these soft tones
berets, cloches and turbans. Closely fitted to the head, the
principal charm of these hats seems to lie in the choice of
materials. Berets are appearing in velvets and satins, fur
felts and plushes. One of these new materials is "satin
moussu," a special plush.
Earhart Blue Is Noted
A beret in Earhart blue is one confection, tip tilted to
the right and tied in place over the ear with a tiny knot. Moss
green soleil makes another beret, while another in black soleil
is fashioned on the order of a coolie tarn.
Turbans that are close fitting appear in velvets, sometimes
a velvet and felt. The material is usually laid in folds. A
novelty is a red and beige tricot paille turban. The fabrics
are interdraped and a loose end is caught on top'.
Clotches seem to prefer felt for their self-expression. It
is a difficult matter to design these, in new models that can
not be copied easily.
Velvet for Better Hats
Velvet will be the keynote of the fall salons, it is said
by authorities. Models in this fabric will be found in the bet
ter class hats and will be beautifully made. So many of the
finer grade velvets are ready to use Lyons, transparent,
chiffon velvet and panne. Some of these are unusually lovely,
and will make chapeaux dreams of delight.
It is said that some miliners make the mistake of carry
ing hats suitable for flappers, while they ignore the matrons.
Surely they are most unwise. There is no more grateful
person to be found than a matron who has found a becoming
hat in your shop. She will return and tell all her bridge
friends and they will come to you, too.
Woman's Party is
Face To Face With
Ideas of Losing Home
Historic Old Brick Capitol Will Probably be Razed
Ground in Near Future, According
to Announcement Published
By SUE McNAMARA
WASHINGTON ( AP ) With the probable tearing
down of the old brick capitol. one of the historic buildings
in Washington, the feminist movement wfll lose one of its ,
most charming backgrounds. ' I
. The site of the structure is wanted by the government
as a location for a new home for the supreme court. Con
demnation proceedings are under way and by next spring,
the National Woman's party, which has made it headquar
ters in the home since 1921, may have to find another home.
Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont bought the big colonial man
sion just across from the capitol and presented it to the
Woman's Party. Since then, women have gathered there to
sip tea, play the piano, to admire new gowns in the long
mirrors and to relax in slippered ease beside, the cozy iire
l places in their own rooms. I
