GOWNS FOR THE MATINEE GIRL

the gowns makes them quite beyond
criticism. for 1t shows the great care
that Is taken in their construction.
Such gowns. indeed. should be draped
by talented dressmakers. for tho lines
must be faultless.
At the recent Drecoll opening the
gowns for street wear all had long
sleeves and were finished with a high
waist line. The materials used were
satin. crepe de chine. mousseline de
sole and broadcloth. Long fur coats,
covering the entire figure. were fsa-
tured. and showed how magnificent
the wraps Of the coming winter will
be. The furs used for these ALIEN
veloping coats were caracal and
mink. while many sealskin coats were
also shown. The aforementioned fur.
by the way. promises to be very much
the fashion.
It Is easy to see what a charming
costume could be made were one Of
these dresses worn with a magnin-
cent coat Of sealskin or mink. In
deed. the woman OF today is lucky to
be able to live in such q time Of lux
uriant beauty.

The Advantages of a Perfect Fit
TOLD EACH WEEK
BY ONE WHO KNOWS

dressmakers unite in their statement
that not woman in fifty has abso-
iutely symmetrical hips-of course. 1t
Is catalogued a sin to have any hips at
all this season! Now, the careful adj
5ustment of the corset will. In many
instances. eliminate any apparent dis
crepancy.
In some cases merely the Tightening
OF the stocking supporters over the
largest hip is all that is required to
overcome the difficulty: sometimes Just
pinch" taken in the right part of
the corset does the work; often 1t Is
necessary to resort TO padding.
This must be done with much judg-
ment and precision. 1t is, Of course, the
aim to build the small hip to ma tch the
larger one and. the while, to avoid q
pin-cushion effect. AS a matter Of fact,
Just as soon as we build our hip, we
subject tin company with the other
hip-to the depressing" influences Of
the season. Fine muslin or silk should
be cut the exact size and shape, made
into bag and stuffed with fine white
hair. When properly adjusted, so that
the padding is appropriately distributed,
1t should be tackled through and through.
then attached to the under side OF the
corset.
1t IL important to remember that a
corset should not be boned too deep or
too high The material Of the corset
may be much longer than it's bones.
Bones placed too high are not only
uncomfortable. but they form ugly
angles and eventually wear holes In
under as we'll as over garments.
But more Of this anon.

A New Tailored Blouse

a VERY attractive waist OF a sheer
~ batiste was seen the other day.
L y 1t was all white and laid in groups
groups Of small tucks. with one large
tuck on either side Of the front. on the
shoulders and on either side Of the back.
The novelty Of the waist was the piping
of the broader tucks. They were each
finished with a fine line OF palest hello
trope batiste. as were both sides OF the
box preat down the middle OF the front.
With this waist was worn a stih en-
hroidered collar and a heliotrope tie to
match the piping OF the tucks.

~HE children's autumn clothes
must now be planned. and not
the least important point In
regard to them Is the color.
It Is absolutely cruel OF mother to
make over her own things for little girls
and boys regardless OF their suita-
bility. Black. for instance. should
never be used for children's everyday
clothes. though black and white IL
quite allowable II the family mourns
some near relative. A little girl may
wear a black hat. particularly If 1t Is
built on picture lines.

dressy topcoat for q child to wear to
dancing class or to parties. there
could be no better choice than old
rose broadcloth.
Party frocks should be of white cot
ton or handkerchief linen. It Is not
strictly good style to dress children
in silk. though wash silks are allow
able.
School frocks may be brown, red.
navy blue or some plaid material Of
linen or serge. Afternoon frocks
may be Of challis In some dainty

A New Collar Idea
= UTE a novelty in collars Is show,

~ UTE a novelty In collars Is shown
in cretonne and linen. The
x straight band which goes round
the neck is Of fine cretonne. while the
ruffie at the top and bottom is Of hem
stitched handkerchief linen. For sep
arate collar this Is very effective. and
1t is becoming to most women. Be-
sides these two virtues. 1t has the ad-
vantage of being appropriate for wear
with almost any suit. for the colorings
of the cretonne tone in we'll with va
rtous materials. Such a collar would
be especially suitable to wear with
linen dress or with one Of the new d.
rectoire suits, which are made of soft
beige cloth. heavily trimmed with black
satin folds.

The Ribbon Barrette

nth the advent of the Grecian
w style of head dress. with the
w arrival Of the fillet which Is
tied around the loose arrangement OF
the Grecian knot, 1t has been necessary
to invent a barrette which will hold the
ribbon and. at the same time. serve to
keep in place all the loose hairs which
when unconflned. so soon destroy the
neat perfection Of milady's toilet.
The latest Is a little bit Of tortoise
shell, perforated so the ribbon band
may be run through 1t. 1t then can
not slip in any direction. and with the
barrette pinned in place the band may
be carried round the head and tied
wherever the whimsical lady desires.

lined with satin bands. one and one
half inches in width. The sleeves and
yoke are made Of course. Of ecru net
and the waist Of this gown. as in the
others. is fastened to the skirt.
A beautiful broadcloth in a natter
blue is trimmed with bands Of en-
broidery done on the material and
held in place with fancy hand-em-
broidered buttons. The yoke and
long sleeves OF lace are made Of
tucked net. or. If desired, they might
be made Of lace. The gown Is ex-
quisite in Its simplicity and perfec-
ton of line. while at the same time
there is little difficult about 1t. In
fact. it would not be a complicated
model to copy. The skirt Is only
semi-fitted. according to empire re-
Quirements. and the gown shows the
remarkable way in which the waist
and skirt may be sewn together. In.

Checks for TRIMMING

n E ANY Of the newest fall dresses

or piping OF checked material.

trimmed with a tiny piping of black

plain materiai-serge or panama-is very
modish trimmed with bands of checked
taffeta. What difference a new touch
like this makes. Even in an old-fash-
Toned dress quite a new effect may be
obtained by just a little modern trim
ming. which lightens up the whole and

invitea her to have 1t tried on. "Oh. my.
no." she replied. Il would not think Of
going to all that bother!" And so an
expensive corset was purchased and sent
to her house. having been selected from
several suggested on general principles
by the girl who handled them. The girl
IN the Store did her part; she could not
force the lady into fitting.
For my part, l wish that corset de-
partments would resolve: mo fitting, no

THINKS He SAW BOYS
Lads of Their Description
Applied for Lodging at

The first real clew concerning the
whereabouts of Chester M. Mccormack
and Ralph McCabe. the boys who on
Tuesday evening so mysteriously dis
appeared from their homes at 6643
State street, was discovered yesterday
morning by Lieutenant McWeeney of
the Woodlawn police station
J. J. Brew of the Wisconsin Steel
company, living at One Hundred and
Fifth street and Hoxie avenue, re-
ported to the police that two boys an
swering the description of the two
missing Parkside lads, appeared at his
home and sought a nights lodging.
They were seven or eight years
DID," said Brew, and came just after
dark. They asked me for a nights
lodging and declared that they were
on their way to Peru III. I thought
that they lived in the neighborhood
and sent them home. That is the last
that I saw of them, but since seeing
all this about them in the newspapers
am convinced that they were the
two missing boys.
This report resulted in Detectives
McNulty and MCGUIRE and the father
of the Mccormack boy hurrying out
to Brews home to get every detail
and all information concerning the
lads.
They learned from many persons
in the neighborhood who had seen the
two boys that their appearance die
not correspond to that of the two
missing lads. Clarence Brew, son OF
the man who made the report, de-
| clared that the boys had given the
names of James O'Rourke and Johr
Keefe. They said they were frun

AFTER SALOONKEEPER
Wolf Markovitch is the Tar

OTHERS TO Be LOOKED UP
Indiana State Bank Starts Investi.
cation and Gets Bank Inspector
to Visit City.

Indiana Harbor, May 23.-(Special)
1t now develops that the presence of
Bank Inspector c. w. Camp in Indiana
Harbor was for the specific purpose of
investigating the charges against Wolf
Markovitch, a saloonkeeper, who COM
bines a banking business with the liq-
uor traffic in his saloon at Cedar and
One Hundred and Thirty seventh street
The investigation did not aim to be
general, but il may become so before
the present case is disposed Of
The matter was brought to the no.
tice of the state auditor through the
officials of the Indiana Harbor State
bank and yesterday Markovitch was
in consultation with his attorney, Judge
T. NJ c. Hembroff. for advice to get
him out of the difficulty in which he
is involved with the state authorities.
The Indiana Harbor State bank Of
ficials heard of Markovitch's business
from time to time and it also came
to their knowledge that he was issuing
bank books similar to those which are
issued by the Indiana Harbor State
bank in the savings department.
Claim There Was "Run."
It has been stated that there was
run" on Markovitchs saloon-bank
on Saturday and that depositors waited
in vain to see the color Of Markovitch's
money, or indeed, for Markoyitch him
self to put in an appearance.
The self-constituted banker on the
other hand, denied that there had been
anything that resembled a run and no
one could be found who would substan-
tiate the rumor with the names of any
who participated in the alleged run.
The maximum penalty imposed for a
first offense of the kind with which
Markovitch is charged, is a fine OF
81 900, and for a second offense fine
| of 81 900 and Imprisonment not to ex-
coed six wears.
