the smart set is back again in Paris for
a few days, getting ready for the fall
house parties where the shooting will
claim their attention.
The shops are crowded with fashion,
able women, who are ordering their
trousseaux now. During these last few
days of August, before the light wraps
are donned. one has a splendid chance to
record the chic tailor-built gowns worn
by these smart shoppers. a gown that is
yet neat and snug.

Perhaps the most striking eatures of
this seasons tailor-built gowns are their
sleeves, which are very close fitting and
the tunics and their trimmings of but
tons. In spite of all that the practical
women have written and said against
trailing street gowns, these tailor-made
gowns touch all around, and even have
a suspicion of a train at the back.
One made of biege and violet shot
whipcord was very simple. The skirt
was made close fitting around the top
and the fullness commenced just at the
knees, where it fell in full round folds at
the back that touched the ground. AT
the left seam of the apron there was a
narrow panel of the same goods inserted,
with the edges strapped.
The corsage of the whipcord was made
with a plain back and a full front that
crossed over a chemisette of white satin
to the left side. There it was fastened
by fancy buttons. The sleeves of the
cloth were plain and close fitting with
a slight bell flare over the hand. A crush
collar and crisp cravat bow Of plaid violet
and white satin ribbon gave a jaunty
little finish to the neck. The same ribbon
was employed for the crush girdle that
was finished at the left side with a bow.
A pretty very subdued gown was made
of "prune violette' homespun. The skirt,
which fitted close around the Hips, had

The jacket was a close fitting affair
with long. full basques forming a point

rounded and very much cut away. It

"Alone!' l thought. ~"alone!" And a

Then followed a time when all memory
was blurred and indistinct; until, after
what seemed an eternity of ages, I found
myself bending low over a we'll. 1t was
but a shallow depression in the ground.
The water was putrid and stank horribly.
And floating upon the grey-green surface

The sleeves were close fitting and were

three bands of the velvet. A single vel

A very attractive model exhibited at
n of the shops was made of satin
WOOL in two shades of gray, nickel
and a lighter shade. The skirt was made
with a tunic Of the "nickel' gray over
a full clinging underskirt of the lighter

Only at the right side was the UNDER

A gown made with one of the smart
short jackets was built Of gray blue cloth.
The skirt fitted close to within a few
inches of the knees. From there the full

apron. 1t was outlined with a narrow

The jacket was short enough at the

WHY IS 1T?

Why is it that some men kick
and have to be called upon SO of
ten to pay their monthly subscrip-
ton of so cents for the DAILY
ARDMoREITE. If the paper is not
worth the money to you, why do
you allow it to be left at your
house 26 times every month and
then object to paying for it? You
may never have thought of it, but
small as it is the ARDMoREITE
costs the publisher in round figures
Sc, 900 every year to run it as it is
now. You may not be aware that
this money never leaves Ardmore,
it stays right in town and adjacent
country. 1t goes from the employees
hands to the grocer, the butcher,
the, dry goods man, the drug
gist. the coal man, the wood hauler,
the church, the schools and every
other enterprise where legal trade
and traffic is carried on. Your so
cents is but a small amount, yet it
helps to pay the bills. Now will
you just think of all this a moment
and see if you don't feel like you
ought to gladly pay your subscrip-
ton promptly every month. We
will expect you to, and have de-
cided to discontinue the paper ON
the first of February to all delin-
quents, where full and satisfac-
tory settlement has not been made.

Are Social Lines Disappearine7

Arc SocAaA LINES DAsappcaEAnB1
Attention has been called by several
keen observers of social life to the grad
ual disappearance of certain barriers be-
tween the extremes of society. Some
kind Of marked and significant change
is taking place, and, wide apart as the
social classes are, there is q steady clos
ing up Of some of the old gaps This is
particularly observable in the gay cap
itals of the world. where the well dress
ed professional woman, quite irrespeo-
tive of her social standing, is no longer
debarred from the privilege of meeting
smart men and genteel society women
in their own set The actress of reputa-
tion is now seen in parlors where the
grandmothers would not have admitted
her some years ago, and even the ballet
dancer, if she is famous, has the entree
of certain salons. The complaint brought
by the conservative people is that this
result is putting a premium on mere
reputation at the expense of character.
A portion of the high life of London
has deliberately adopted an expensive
kind of bobemianism. Between the race
course and the concert saloon the young
scions. when away from home, make it
q point of education to pick up the free
and easy companions who are able to
entertain and instruct them by their
freedom from conventional restraint
One writer points out that the Elsmeres
and John Storms of literature are bring
ing this about by carrying a certain
kind of refinement into the alleyways
and bringing back in exchange the
smell of stale tobacco and the hysteria
of Glory Quayle. But it may be said
that it is quite in another direction than
this that the finer distinctions between
luxury and dissoluteness are being OBJ
liberated. Only along the lines Of
our life come to light. 1t must be ac-
knowledged that very few people can
possess wealth without enjoying it TO
the full, aud to enjoy it to the full is
very easy and swift to those who have
given no equivalent for it. The modern
cant of enjoying life in all its phases"
means very often reversion to very
ignoble pleasures. for the sensation of
mingling with those who are not re-
strained by the obligations of position
or respectability appears to have a
charm for weak minds. no matter how
much wealth may surround them. Men
in America whose social paths are in
tercepted continually by all shades of
life can have very little notion of the
young English gentleman's relief at
breaking away from the. cast iron con-
ventionalities of his set and mineling
with men and women who defy society
A writer in the London World declares
that English society has been loosening
mp for the last ten years at a prodigious
rate. But one hesitates. to believe that
it is really discarding the safeguards
and checks which have so long pre-
served it from the careless excuses of
its French neighbors.
