11. The football season is over but the "huddle" has passed from football Into fashions. Smartly dressed women now "huddle" into tvtning wraps. Tho fur evening garments are only to bo described as top heavy. That is they are full and voluminous about tho shoulders with huge collars but are worn wrapped tightly about the figure from the waist down.

An example' Is shown in an ermine and mink wrap worn by a Parisian stage favorite. The mink fur forms the collar, being put on in puffed horizontal bands which leave only two eyes, a nose and a bang in view above thorn. Pins. Scores of women for years have pinned their faith in conquest on a hat, but with modern days they put pins on the ats. One cf the newest Imported types Is of black antelope felt with a high folded crown with two huge high blond tortoise shed pins thrust vertically thru the right side of the crown.

Smarter Than Pink. For years none has hud the temerity to question the smartness of pink lingerie. Now, however, the designers are thrusting before the eyes of patrons Intimate garments of sky blue, lavender, turquoise blue, coral pinkish orange nnd apricot and declaring they are smarter thun pink. These garments are liberally trimmed with very fine laces either In an ochre tint or dyed to match the crepe de chine or georgette on which are posed. For the Dansant.

It is almost as smart now to throw an expensive shoe in the afternoon tea dances as to shake a wicked hoot In the Charleston or black bottom. Tha shoes now deer ed by fashion for afternoon dancing are of black satin with gold heels. Others re o' molro with the counter above the hocl matching the frock and the toe embroidered in rhinestones. For evening silver kid with red heels are mentioned. Copyright, 1920.

Tbia beautiful bird is a native of the extreme north, and Is said, In Its native haunts, to feed on rabbits and other small game.

The latter of the two bird was shot on Pop Gant's Island In the South Shrewsbury.

Pine declared: "It Is a serious business, father, to bring up a child. The only ones who tan tell you just how to do it are the old maids, bachelors nnd those who have beon married, but whose married lives did not run smoothly." Declaring the modern cartoonist the prophets of the ag, because of the manner in which they portray life, nnd praising George McManus. for his cartoon "Bringing Up Father," Rev.

FERDINAND MAY GO TO PARIS FOR TREATMENT Bucharest Discusses Removal to Curie Institute Would Bring Him to Carol.

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Dec. 11. W). Discussion as to the advisability of removing King Ferdinand to Paris for radium treatment at the Curie Institute has been r' mined in government and royal circles. When Professor Rcgaud of tho Paris Pasteur Institute came to Bucharest a few days ago he proposed that the monarch be taken to Paris.

The government, however, nt that time was lfot willing to acquiesce. Professor Digaud has now returned to Paris and it is understood he is discussing with the Curie institute arrangements for the treatment of the king, who has been variously reported as suffering from an Intestinal nilment and cancer. Jta-dlum Is extensively used in cancer cases. Official circles are absolutely slle-it on the question of the removal of thq king to Paris, but it is felt that tlto trip to the French capital would bo good thing for two reasons first, the king's life might be caved, and, second, should the king die in Paris 't would eliminate the necessity of having former Crown Prince Carol return to Bucharest. It Is considered that should the king die in Bucharest, refusal by the government to grant Carol permission to return would place the government in a bad light mm i-rvaie sympatny lor tae errant son who abdicated his right to the throne and left Rumania.

On the other hand some of the leaders here are of the opinion that' with Ferdinand in' Paris, Carol, always the king's favorite son, might induce Ferdinand, especially in his enfeebled state of health, to forgive and forget aiyl reinstate Carol in dynastic rights.

That iach production In New Jersey ha trebled In the past 13 years was brought out In an address by Harry B. Weiss, chief of the bureau of statistics and state department of agriculture, before the State Horticultural society here yesterday. His analysis of a recent survey of the peach Industry showed that the production trend for the entire United Slates is upward. In New Jersey in 1910, the flve-yeur average peach production was 700,000 bushels, while, for the flve-year period ending in 1925 It was 1,740,000 bushels, and the 1926 crop totaled nearly, 8,000,000 bushels, due chiefly to the unusually-favorable weather during the entire growing season. The increase In the entire United States for the same period has been mud.

less, the five-year-average in 1910 being 39,000,000 bushels, as compared to tlu average of bushels in If the unusually large crop of 67,000,000 bushels in 1926 were Included, the rate of Increase would be much Statistics of the ages of trees of certain important varieties in New Jersey and competing states were presented by Mr. Weiss. These, will aid the orcjm; (lists in estimating probable production for a number of years to come, and assist In determining future plantings. New Jersey has a smaller percentage of non-bearing trees, i. under three years, and a larger percentage of trees over 10 years, than most of the competing In New Jersey the Elberta has continued ns the favorite for the past 10 years or more.

For the past three years, the J. H. Hale variety has Increased considerably In popularity, many more trees having been planted during that time than previously. On the other hand, Carman, Belle of Georgia, Champion and Hiley have been declining in popularity, the plantings of C.ese varieties having slowed up during the past few years. There is an increasing tendency in this state to plant more miscellaneous varieties.

In the most important peach states also, Elberta is the most important variety! Jn Georgia, 48 per cent of the trees are Elbertas; in Virginia, 48 per cent; Maryland, 41 per cent; Delaware, 50 per cent; Pennsylvania. 04 per cent; New Jersey 37 per cent, and New York, 83 per cent.

Trapped In their dressing rooms by flames which burred their escape and prevented the aid of firemen, four music hail actresses were burned to death late last night In the Apollo theater. The fire, which started back-stage from a short circuited electric wire, swept out beyond tho curtain, throwing the audience Into panic. The thousand persons who were witnessing the show, however, managed to escape the flumes, which soon attacked the flimsy decorations in the auditorium and set the entire house Another panic occurred in the Ell-seo theater, next door to the Apollo, where a performance of "Cavalieria Rusticana" was in progress. The audience, hcuring the roar of the flames in the Apollo and the screams of the women In that theater, started a rush toward the exits. Assurances hastily yelled from the stage by the directors of the theater served to quiet the' people and they marched quietly out to the street to the tune of "The Royal March." Most ot the perform iis in the burned theater we'e recruited in Germany, Austria and England.

One of those burned to death was a German. The others have not been identified, but it Is believed they also were foreigners. The burst of flames came at the conclusion of the final, number of the program, while the audience was preparing for' the dundng which was to follow. The iour actresses bu.ned to death hud returned to their dressing rooms when their curtain fell, and were unable to make their way out of tho theater, so swift was the speed ot the fire. 12 Shopping Days Before Christinas FOUR ATRESl PERISH FIRE The milkman's horse Needs rubber heels.
