Both the very deep and the very

which, being interpreted, means an en-

the Directoire period. the coated eff

seen In the extravagant dressing of the
hour.
No Limit In Fabrics.
In the matter of fabrics there is
practically no limit. Cloth ornately
trimmed, velvet, velVeteen and fab
RIGS that closely resemble the short nap
plush, are used for street wear, and
are mingled in the most amazing COM
binations.
For evening wear, skirts, satins, bro
cades, tulles, all-over 'laces, nets and
spangled robes are similarly combin-
ed, and there is absolutely no limit to
the amount Of trimming used on these
gowns. Frocks of lace are inset with
spangled medallions, and overhung
with spangled flounces. Spangled nets.
in turn are inset in hand painted lace
and outlined with tiny flowers made of
chiffon or ribbons. Hand embroidery of
the most vivid patterns and colorings
is used on an otherwise subdued
gown, and the sleeve is a thing Of
complications too, numerous to cata-
logue.
Both the Directoire and the Louis
coats are employed with DINNER and
evening frocks. A notable example is
dinner gown for matron done in a
peculiarly dainty shade of gray silk.

skirt of the pale chiffon over one of
equally delicate silk was finished at
the bottom with two three-inch folds
of the gray silk edged with simulated
hems of chenille. Above this was a
fourinch band of roses in self tone,
shading to pink. The square, low
necked bodice and puffed elbow
sleeves were of the delicate gray silk
with a vest of the embroidered chiffon.
Over this fell a Louis coat of the silk
with immense turn back cuffs faced
with the embroidered chiffon. A
striking touch on the vest consisted of

folk prepare for the flight 10 New York
by looking well to their plumage.
The day when women wished to be
inconspicuous at hotels has passed.
Gorgeousness is the keynote of hotel
dressing. An elderly man, who belongs
to the old Southern school Of aristoc-
racy and chivalry, passed the ST. Regis
a few days ago just as a victoria, with
ihdrses clustering I'm copper-mounted
harness, drew up at the entrance. A
gorgeous creature I'm vivid shades of
green, with an ermtne and moleskin

lightly from the carriage and stopped
to give some animated Instructions to

in attendance.

ruftle extends not only around the
opening on either side, but finishes the
bottom of the muff in a triple flounce

Richness of Decorations.
The fancy for artificial flowers,
which in other years accompanied the
use of lace, has not been revived. but
in the case of ermine, magnificentlV
embroidered ornaments in white and
in gold are used in combination with
the lace: Exquisite ruffles of Brus-

with ermine, which is, after all, the
smartest of furs for evening wear.
MoleSkin and ermine form a smart
combination for wear with reception
gowns, both velvet and cloth, and fur
hats to match the wraps and stoles are
effective on women whose faces are
not too small for the rather heavy fur
effects. Feathers and flowers, as we'll
as the most ornate of laceS, are used
in combination with fur on hats.

The Collision Happened on
Dead Mems Bend"
Greatest Confusion Followed the
Crash-Dead Found Every
where.
THOSE WHO WERE KILLED

warrensburg, Mo, Oct. ll.-There
have been no further deaths from the
awful disaster of yesterday in which
over a score of persons lost their lives.
More details have been received of the
wreck.
The collision occurred ON the curve
known as Dead Mans BEND Both
engineers and fremen saw the danger
and jumped. The forward coach of the
passenger train was telescoped and the
remainder of both was badly damaged.
According to the local Office of the
Missouri Pacific, the engineer OF the
freight train was to blame for the
wreck, having forgotten his orders. The
trains met at sharp curve. The I'M
pact of the collision was terrific and
the sleeping passengers were hurled IN
every direction. Most of the killed were
in the forward coach. The scene of the
wreck i a narrow cut, and this fact,
with the darkness, added TO the difficult
ties of the situation.
The greatest confusion occurred after
the crash. The relief trains with phys
icians were sent out quickly, but it was
some time before the dead and injured
could be extricated from the debris.
The dead were carried up the track
and laid in rows in an open space until
the relief train arrived, while the injured
were carried up the bank and cared for
as well as could be by the uniniured
passengers.
