YET ANOTHER ENSEMBLE
Among the charming features
noted in a collection of clothes the
happy fate of which is that they
shall be taken South, was the in-
troduction, of bright flowers on the
collar of the coat which made the
ensemble. Nothing new about that,
you say. Perhaps not, excepting
that the flower instead of being
the usual artificial variety, was cut
from bright cretonne and appliqued
on to the flannel. Ono has, of
course, encountered flower appli-
ques before, but the boutonniere’ ap-
plique is entitled to be regarded as
among the novelties.

LANMING, Mich., Dec. 31 - The
petition of Charles E. Ruthenberg,
convicted of violation of the Mich-
igan syndicalism act, for a stay of
sentence, was denied by the state
supremo court Wednesday.

ing to spread communistic doctrines

rien county) meeting' in August,
1922, together with William Z. Fos-
ter and several others.

trasting fur, Which brings to mind
also that a daring combination cos-
tume recently worn at a smart
dance club was made of leopard
print crepe trimmed with genuine
leopard.
Scarfs of opard and barunduki
printed crepes have had consider-
able success, but then scarfs of
almost every kind are still, wanted.
Those of chiffons or crepes which
have large bright floral patterns
are very smart, the secret of a
smart scarf being, according to one
who has studied them from every
angle, that they should contribute
a vivid color note to the costume.
Bright cars are invariably found
to be numbered among "the best
sellers."
