BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE Tresident Coolidge is expected tw make his first extensive statement on | current events on April 22. On that| day he has made a provisional en-t Eagement to speak at the annual luncheon of the Associated Press in the Waldorf-Asotoria Hotel at New York. In case the President carries out that plan his address will consist almost exclusively of a review of the abnormal conditions which have ob- tained at the National Capital for the past ninety days. Mr, Coolidge was reluctant to make a second speech in New York so close upon the heels of his Lincoln day appearance there. But the audience that he would address at the Associated Press function would not be one. 1t would consist of the leading editors and publishers the fc ight state. e President's advisers have not to forfeit the opportu- | nity l‘;r] presenting himselt before so | niquely entative a gathering ©of opinio) ers, &gathsting | ite in’ question, which is thres weeks hence. the on of en- it of Attorney General secret is made in ad- quarters of the Pre: ! anxiety on that score.

Thirty acres of rich ground are waiting near Benning bridge for members of the Potomac Garden Club, | who are already making preparations for their gardens there this summer. Captain Jacob Stulz, president of the club, announced yesterday that | club membership had been opened for the year, and it was expected there would be more than enough; applicants to take all the plots, each | Aof_which is 50 by 100 feet. The ground, which was pumped | from the bottom of the river is ex- cellent for growing crops of many varieties. The Department of Agri- culture grants permits for the use of the ground during the season, and keeps in touch with the progress. Photos are taken, from time to time. and the experts exercise helpful supervision of the whole project. British Flyer Delayed.

Narrow lace is used for narrow collar and cuffs of smart daytime frocks of crepe de chine or flat crepe—dyed lace, of the Italian type, is distinctively used in a handsome black satin afternoon frock—frocks in the lovely, light Springtime colorings are using lace for yokes and tiny cap sleeves—charmingly shown in this frock sketched. First of all, it is fash- joned of a new crepe du jour, finely pleated to simulate tucks, which are very smart this sea- son—the yoke, cap sleeves, 'kerchief and sash ends are of filmy cream lace, with pipings of the poudre blue of the frock, $59.50. $39.50 to $85 Women's Frock Section, Third Boor. Woodward & Lothrop To be smartly dressed on Easter day is merely to choose your type of tailleur and wear it. For not only is this tailleur masculin distinc- tive for almost any occasion, but versatile enough to become every type of woman—and the fact is emphasized in these six smart types: The Nipped-in O'Rossen type. The Double-breasted Boyish type. The Braid-bound, Single-button type. The Lingerie-trimmed type. The Tailleur with longer jacket. The 2-button, Single-breasted type —a new version of which we sketch—in a hairline stripe, navy twill —with mannish braid-bound collar, the newer straight coat and wrap skirt, $59.50—shown with its smart accessories, the scarf and handkerchief—with- out which it never appears. $39.50 to $95 Women's Suit Section, Third floor. Moodward & Lothrap Coats with fur, or colorful braids, never so different nor so smart Soit fabrics and colors, combined with new uses of narrow Summer furs and braids of vivid hue, give them an air of smart distinc- tion. Among the many new fashions of fur trim- ming are the full-length bandings of narrow fur, so smartly shown on this coat sketched— of charmeen in the new bran shade, banded in silver braid and gray fur—with suede cloth to add color and match the crepe lining in car- nelian red, $95. The silhouette is slender, sometimes relieved by a cape, as shown in a new coat of corded silk — tucking, embroidery or puffings are smart notes. No two coats are alike—for each is distinctive and smart in some different way. $59.50 to $115 ‘Women's Coat Section, Third ficor. Wosdward & Lnthvap Actors to Present Three This Evening. The Howard University Players will present their second group of one-act plays for the current season in the Rankin Memorial chapel, on the uni- versity campus, tonlght at 8:15 o'clock.

Black Satin Fashion’s leading frock fabric now appedrs in coats and suits—often with the distinctive touch of white. Black Satin is shown to smart advantage in the mandarin suit—with long coat; folds of the satin simulating tucks show just a gleam of white beneath—and the collar is straight and upstanding, $95. The last word in fashion is this coat sketched —of lustrous black satin, with its fashion- right collar and cuffs of white fur and heavy embroidery in white to carry out the black- and-white idea, $75. Black Satin Frocks are seen in many smart versions—Chanel pleating, tiny white buttons and lace combine in an attractive afternoon frock—pleated aprons are a new note—con- trasting bandings provide the colorful touch. $29.50 to $75 Women's Apparel Sections, Third fioor. Wosdward & Lothrod combines the three-quarter cout and the frock for the most fashion- able formal type of street costume. Its silhouette is almost invariably the straight mandarin type, smartly expressed in this cos- tume ensemble sketched—of covert charmeen —the mandarin coat with upstanding collar and four wide, scalloped tucks—the idea re- peated on the sleeves. Underneath we see a sleeveless tunic blouse embroidered in gold— it is in the new carnelian red—matching the lining of the coat—which many smart cos- tumes do, $115. Patou crepe, in black, combines with white satin and tiny silver-like buttons in another costume ensemble—bright braid is seen on still another—and a note that proves interesting in the wearing is that the coat may be worn sepa- rately—with other frocks. $89.50 to $125 Women's Snit Section, Third fioor. Woodward & Lothrop Hats both large and small express the Easter mode And the tendency toward wider brims and larger hats is most interesting news for the woman who has found the small, tight-fitting cloche very hard to wear. “The Hat and the Scarf form a powerful en- tente,” says a prominent fashion authority the scarf carries the color of the hat down into the costume—never more charmingly than in this hat and scarf sketched—a wide- brimmed leghorn covered in hand-painted yellow georgette—with a wide and long matching scarf. Each, $30. For the tailleur, navy blue straw—sometimes touched with red—is smart; a new navy straw, with a cut-rolled brim, is $25. For afternoon, poudre blue and orchid com- bine in smart hats wtih wider brims. Black and white continues smart— $18.50 to $35 Millinery Section, Third foor.

Hosiery and Handkerchiefs Match Their Colors— Peach Tones Newest The Peach Tomes are the most popular color choice for one’s hose—and they embrace a wide range of rosy shades that are in them- selves reminiscent of the first Spring flowers—and they are known by many names—though the color is most easily compared to that of a thin-skinned peach. Granite Hose—in these new tones, $1.90. Handkerchiefs that use a flattering touch of lace—in matching tones, $1 and $1.50. Hoslery and Handkerchief Sections, First floor. Every Smart Costume Wears a Colorful Scart A gay wisp of chiffon—a vivid printed silk—a painted crepe in colorful hues—a narrow length of brilliant striped glos—each and every one of these a smart scarf fashion—to be seen on Easter day. $2.50 to $16.50 Neckwear Section, First fioor. Gray and Otter Shades for Distinctive Afternoon Pumps Decidedly smart is this new pump that will step out on Easter morning with the most distinctive costumes— graceful and charming, with its cut-out sides and slender instep strap of kid, fastening with a small metal buckle.
