DOLLS HoNoRED
Japanese Diplomats Gift Placed in the
White House.

The Japanese diplomats In Washington
are welcome guests at the White House.
and Minister and Nine. Takahira have
contributed greatly to the pleasure of Mrs.
Roosevelt and the children Of the presi-
dent. There is Japanese corner at the
White House for which these foreigners
are responsible.
Last winter they presented Mrs. Roose-
welt with a collection OF Japanese dolls.
dressed to represent court ladies ana
various types Of high life in the land Of
the rising sun. Instead of sending this
gift to the nursery, where Ethel, Archie
and Quentin insisted they should go, Mrs.
Roosevelt showed her appreciation by Civ
ing them a place Of honor in the red
parlor. Arranged in a gilded cabinet,
they form an attractive decoration, their
gorgeous robes OF bright -colored brocade
and gold embroidery artistically blending
with the brilliant furnishings Of the room.
Tourists are always attracted by the SOU
venirs from Japan, and many make in
quiries as to their origin.

The Fall Jackets,

It is going to be "a fall when the sep
arate jacket will be fashionable and when
the woman who does not want to wear a
SUIT all alike can vary her appearance
with coat that contrasts with her cos
tune.
The contrasting coat for fall can be
fitted in the back, rather straight in the
front, faced with a self color and but
toned with visible buttons or fastened
with braids and cords. The collar will be
most elaborate. The coat will be low In
the neck, something on the Dutch order,
and there will be trimming of lace and
other pretty decorations. !+
AS for the sleeves Of the fall coats,
words quite fail. They will be so elab-
crate that, after woman has exhausted
all her powers Of imagination, she can go
to work and imagine a sleeve still more
fancy than her mind can paint.
But those who want a sleeve that slips
on easily and which is pretty to look at,
becoming to the figure and which is sure
to hold its style all the fall there is the
balloon sleeve, which is called the Little
Jack Horner sleeve. It is low upon the
shoulder and tight in the upper arm. It
gradually grows larger unfit at the wrist
it is the circumference Of a fairly well
developed pillowcase. Here it is finished
with two very full and very deep ruffles
of lace. This is an admirable sleeve fol
any lall coat, and 1t has the merit OF
dressing up the coat remarkably.
Tiny vests are also to be feature or
the coats Of the coming fall, and the CIR
who Is skilful with her embroidery needle
can find pleasant occupation during leisure
moments in preparing the most fascinat-
| ing OF these vests.

Former Philadelphia Girl Is One of
the Most Popular OF the Score Of
American Beauties with Large Bank
Accounts-Miss Gladys Vanderbilt
Is a Leader in the Younger Set.

Miss Pauline Astor's engagement takes
away permanently from New York one OF
its wealthiest heiresses and a most
charming young woman While 1t is prob
able that her father, William Waldorf As
tor, will reside in England, there was
always the possibility that the heart Of
the young American girl might be won by
one Of her own nationality and that the
wealth which she will eventually possess
might remain in the land of her birth.
However, there are, scores Of other
American beauties with just as many
silver and gold dollars in the bank and
Just as many coupons in their fathers
strong box.
Miss Drexel, daughter Of Colonel An
thony Drexel, formerly of Philadelphia but
not Of London, where they belong to the
smart set, is a most beautiful as well as
an immensely wealthy young woman.
Since leaving this country some. dozen
years ago the family has seldom returned
here, and then only at very long intervals
and for very brief periods.
Miss Drexel is of the spirituelle type,
with quite perfect features and fair hair.
She is great favorite in society, and that
she will follow in Miss Astor's footsteps
and marry some Englishman of high rank
is almost a foregone conclusion there.
One Of the richest Of the younger soci-
ETY. girls in America not yet presented is

Cornelius Vanderbilt, to whom was left

August is the month to buy thin clothes
not only for next summer but for this
winter. The temperature OF our homes
during the cold weather Is such that a
thin gown is much more comfortable than
q wooden, and a woman feels twice as
crisp and fresh in a dimity house gown
as she does in even a thin wolfe. Every
season these thin house Ifrocks grow more
fashionable and popular, and the women
who have regarded a house frock as an
absurdity are beginning to realize how
much more refreshing complete change
OF costume is than the replacing OF a
shirtwaist by a more elaborate blouse for
evening wear.
Even the doctors are in favor Of. the
thin gowns for house wear, for they pre-
vent one from getting overheated, the dan
tger which lies in our steam-Warmed
homes. With the approval Of physicians
| it is safe to say that linens, ginghams,
| chanbrays and iseersuckers will be the
gowns Of the future for day house wear,
and ;organdies, nets, :di1nities and other
sheer fabrics for. evening.
| This Is why the counters on which the
summer fabrics are displayed at ridicu-
lously low prices are thronged by shop
pers. One can purchase the embroidered
Swisses, the fowered organdies, or pret-
1 ty ginghams at less than half the price
that was asked early in the season. Trim
mings are also cheaper, and the beautiful
embroideries that were beyond the purse
of many Of the shoppers in June are now
being sent home by women who have
coveted them all summer.
Some Of these materials will be put
away until the dull days Of February and
March furnish the time for their leisurely
Transformation into pretty frocks, while
| others will be given to the dressmake1
at once to be made into the popular house
gowns, the donning Of which will make a
new creature Of the woman who comes
homo tired from an afternoon of social
courtesies or who has been occupied in the

Heat In cclors.

In France a very important discovery
has just been made. It is that persons
and things encased in black are pust thir-
teen degrees warmer in the sunshine than
those in white or light colors. Obviously,
therefore, all sable-hued articles Of attire
should be strictly tabooed in such weather
as we have lately experienced. To a
large extent women do clothe themselves
in light colored garnens at this season,
but 1t Is monstrous that men should go
about in tall hats and frock coats at tHe5
time of year, or that mourning should be
insisted upon.
