s.. Kann, Sons g. Cos fall opening has
apparently attracted every woman in
Washington, with the suburbs thrown In.
The big store was thronged every hour to.

opened. with an assemblage that represents
ed every phase of society. And the inn

everybody.

riousy fitted sections of it's kind In the
country, there is on display an exhibit that
fully represents the contest for supremacy
now going on between the celebrated cos.
tuners Of Europe as to whether severe
styles or the frils and fancies of the Sec
| ond empire shall prevail AS a happy re-
| suit. fashion has claimed both extremes
for her own, and the remarkable variety in
choice Will enable every woman to look her
very prettiest, she can find exactly the
dress most becoming to her styie. This
variety is to be found not only in the
manner of the making but in materials
and colorings. In fact the new colors are
| superb. Bordeaux. Burgundy-some OF the
new color names-are very suggestive of
the rich wine tints, and there are also
many new shades in the staple green's,
blues grayS, etc.
Posed in large glass cases are Iife-siza
forms, which display to advantage afternoon
and evening gowns. which are more than
ever dressy and elegant this season. Among
what designated very lovely models
is a demi-train of lightest blue liberty silk,
with a sheath-Shaped effect In white Irish
crochet. and captivating sleeves of the silk
and lace that finish at the elbow. Another
is a princess of orchid lavender. with lines
that brought ecstatic explanations from
every woman who studied it. Still another
is an imported carriage gown of light
brown panne, with rich enbroideries of the
same color by way of decoration A hand
some fur thrown across the natty short
Jacket gave the toilet a most regal air.
One of the handsomest models in the
house was heliotrope broadcloth: the coat,
three-quarter length, tight fitting at the
back. and with a cut-away effect in front.
The heliotrOpe panne which formed the vest
and cuffs was embroidered in shaded hello
trope and studded with jewels The gown,
designed from a Paris model, was made
and embroidered in Kanns own work
rooms.
The colorings are found in the fall
millinery well. There is such a demure
and yet piquant air about the new shapes,
with their graceful trimmings, that the
crowds today seemed to think each mora
bewildering than the others. The new
mushroom" was developed In many lovely
colors and rich fabrics and the new dagger
pin was seen In many elaborate and pretty
designs. The hits of these daggers vary
from tiny and gay jeweled heads to balls as
large and polished as a billiard ball.
The variety of trimmings that fashion
now ordafns may be gagged by a Gainsbor.

The big store has dozens OF departments
and each overfiows with the needs of wom-
ankind. rich and poor, and with every
phase of the home.
