They were for the most part poor, and not allowed to Intermarry with the Patricians. They served in the array without pay, were sold Into slavery for debt and could even be cut in pieces for distribution among their creditors. Finding their conditions intolerable, the Plebeians in 495 B. C. repaired to Mons Sacer, near Rome, where they resolved to build a new city; but this stepsoalarmed the privileged classestagnfl} granted to the Plebeians 4Nprof choosing annually from their own number two magistrates, called tribunes with power to protect them against aggression of the Patricians. After the lapse of about 200 years the disabilities of the Plebeians were almost ""iTilx removed.

A varied aawut of material Is put Into the newest clothes, and In Parts, both for street and house; but tbe quality of that material, its richness and delicacy, make It so costly that clothes are no teas dear than they have been, according to a fashion writer in the ir"»'MW City Star. Also, every possible" opportunity has beeu given to fine handwork, embroidery, hand applique and beading, as well as tbe revival of a dozen beautiful old stitcher! ea, each as herring-bone, briar stitching, French knotting and chenille, used in beautiful flower designs on plain silks, velvets and kasha doths, on lace, metal tissue and nlnon. Corsets, or father what now goes Wider that namet are nothing in the world but rather flattened tubes of silk elastic, exactly the same slzo top and bo'tom, and which, while they compress any flowing tendency above and below the waist, allow plenty of space at the exact waistline, so producing the absolutely essential drainpipe silhouette. Skirts are hong on sllm^ sleeveless, close-fitting or silk net bodies, which grip the hips and from which the skirt depends, sewed on perfectly fiat back and front with only tbe slightest easing at the sides, just enough fullness to allow the line from hem to hip to fall straight Skirts are narrower than ever, but the necessary width for stepping is allowed for a wrap-over or a slit up one side or both, disclosing a straight petticoat of rich brocade or silk to contrast or tone, or a panel of exquisite embroidery which may be seen again in a similar slit from wrist to elbow, or a long wedge-shaped inset between the shoulders at the back, the point of this latter finished with a slender silk tassel- reachlnf halfway down the skirt Straight Pitting Bodice. Over this very severe skirt Is worn an equally straight-fitting bodice, slightly wrinkled just above the hips, but without a waistline. Where the two meet, just at the hip line, tbe skirt may have a scheme of decoration in braid stitching or embroidery, repeated on the tunic blouse so thst the exact line of separation Is Indistinguishable, or the jumper may be finished with a narrow bolster of fine fur or a flat shaped yoke into which the slight underarm fullness is drawn. The very most that remains of hip fullness on either bodice er skirt is a long tassel at the left side of the tunic blouse or a motif In narrow watered ribbon or tinsel braid, from which hangs a sheaf of ribbon streamers to the hem of the skirt One-piece dresses follow this outline, and evening dresses deviate almost not at all except that a slight variation is made by a double skirt or a wrap-over arrangement. But even so the straight outline remains, and where there is an ornament to catch tbe folds of a draped dress it occurs low on tbe front of the hip, leaving the straight up-and-down line un-' broken. The sleeves on a one-piece frock of blue kasha doty are very long and have mitten cuffs. Dresses made to be worn under matching cloaks are sleeveless, but afternoon dresses for winter wear have wing-sleeve draperies or deep bertha collars of lace or metal tissue, which forms a sort of sleeve. Velvet of • moire dinner dresses In solid color*, rust red, emerald green, geranium pink, cinnamon and chocolate are to be used for formal occasions. These are laid, not draped, round the figure In breadths, the edges undisguised, and appear to have no shape, but to be held together snd a stogie flexible shoulder strap ef iewets. The breadths lie perfectly latback and front, and the shimmering jairface of each breadth appears to reflect a deqen different shades of the sameeolir. * Fgshiew Revives Hookwork.

Within tfie last few years there has been an awak- "biripe* Snd Plaids for Sports Wear*" Has Become an Accepted Adage. Stripes Take a New Turn When They Appear Both Lengthwise and Crosswise on Same Garment ened interest in hooked rugs, and women who have not been able to afford tbe antique rugs tmve~~pninstaklngly copied the old patterns and made tbe rugs themselves. Not coutent with that they have applied this same process of booking to other articles for the home, and the table runners and cushion tops done in this form of needlework' are lovely and decidedly unique. The crowning stroke of sartorial genius, however, is revealed in a sports coat made entirely of wool and hooked just as s rug would be. The body of the coat Is done In soft beige wool while the huge collar and decorative hands on the sleeves are done in shades of bright blue or red with an occasional touch of mauve, yellow and almond green. It is worn with a skirt of beige wool, slim and straight in line and finished at the hem with a narrow tumed-up cuff. Smart frdolts achieve distinction by the addition of girdles and sashes that give a colorful touch. One charmtng girdle has a row of dainty, soft-hued flowers, made by touching glue to ribben. With a few yards of omber rib bon, a piece of buckram and a tube of the best quality of liquid glue which will not discolor the fabrics. It can be made at home.

Tbe lining of this coat Is Irongray chiffon with an all-over pattern of steel threads. Many new coats are made without ftir trimming, but are worn with er- Alne, chinchilla or sable ties, which fit dose round tbe neck and bam flat tabs down the front. These are tbe latest form of fur neckpiece. The confusion of the fashion makers this winter Is evident In the way they grasp at straws. The public must select a few styles and make them dominant factors. The array of sleeves offered in tbe passing show of clothes is suggestive, of a parade of international flags. There's the sleeve of black lace that starts at the hat brim and, failing over the shoulders, runs down the arm to end in a snug wristlet. Curious and charming is this invention, which was suggested by the Spanish mantilla. Tbe Spanish flounce is a prevailing feature of fashion. So are Spanish earrings, embroidered, shawls, tortoiseshell combs. Boleros are revived, so Is the plaited skirt of the buil-flghter; also the low-heeled slipper. None of these things are new to eyes in America, for dressmakers have been advancing them timidly for a year; but they are now familiar sights.. So are Spanish furniture and literature. Muff May Return With Old-Fashioned Gowns Fox scarfs are still in excellent style. The morning or afternoon gown la greatly enhanced by a soft, becoming fur of brown platinum or light gray thrown carelessly around the neck. Martn and sable chokers are admirable With the soft brown fabric frock featuring the long straight lines. Muffs are quite passe for tbe present tbe large coat-sleeve having replacnn them. But if the couturieres of fashion decree the return of the old-fashioned gowns of grandmother's day, and Paris for months past has been flashing anticipatory rumors of such an event, then weimay expect the muff to become a feature of the late winter fashions. 7 A few frocks of entire for are exhibited for tbe purse whose strings need not be latched.

The automobile hit the wagon amidships, as the horse-drawn vehicle was driven onto Main street. The barrel of sorghum was tossed over tbe wagon rail and into the auto. The car, its occupants and the street were soon covered with the glue. Spectators went to the aid of the automobile occupants and assisted them to a physician's, office. The rescuers had difficulty in extricating themselves from the sorghum. The real fun began, however, when efforts were made to move the wrecked automobile and wagon from the street. The swghum by that time had covered the bricks and men staggered about as though drunk. {s waaOMaamMMasHMaMMaasB1 • • • • » • - • WAR AVIATOR KILLED AS -«E GRASPS PROPELLER French Veteran Attempts to _6rab Blades When Plane Runs Amuck in Crowd. Port Col den, N. J.--Marcel Ruelian, veteran of the French war-time flying service, gave up his life tefore a thousand spectators here recently In stopping an airplane that had made a landing and threatened to plunge into the crowd after the pilot had been tossed out. Realizing tbat a disaster was imminent, Huellan sprang straight at the whirling propeller, grasped it with both hands and sought by main strength to still tbe engine. But the powerful blades sliced out of his grip and one smashed his skull. He died Instantly. A mechanic of long experience In the war and later a familiar of the flying fields around Mineola, L. L, Ruelian had only arrived hare In the morning with two companions to give a series of passenger tlights. Word that he had given up his life for others was sent to his sister, lime. Jeffrey at 582 West 111th street, New York. His former wife and a child live in France. The Farman plane was brought to Port Coldfen, which is east of Phlllipeburg and near Washington, N. J„ by Marcel Mathias, understood to have been a French ace, his assistant pilot, Morris A. Devoe, and Kuellan. A big crowd had gathered when Mathias, who is said to have flown through the war without an accident, took off with two passengers, Oliver & Moore of Portland, Pa^ and Frank Pelsnso of Port Colden. They circled the Roseberry term from which (hey ascended and then Mathias glideti down in an easy landing. But something in the landing gear gave way and the plane dug its nose into the ground with a jolt that hurled Mathias out and jerked the passengers off their seats. The engine kept going, and before Mathias, only shaken, could scramble to his feet, it had shaken its nose clear and started wabbling over the ground, while people milled helplessly, unable to gauge its careening path. Mathias shouted to Ruelian to stop the engine and without a second's hesitation the mechanic leaped. Probably it was fear that the slightest delay would allow the craft time to gain dangerous momentum that led him to dive at her nose rather than run around, reach Into the cockpit and close the throttle. An instant later the horrified spectators saw his mu tilated body borne away. Bat he had retarded the runaway plane long enough for Mathias to shut off the poorer.
