SUPERLATIvE HOTEL COMFORT
ATTHE ST. REGIS, NEW YORK
The One American Hotel That is Not
Surpassed by the Famous Ho-
tells of Europe.

The great cities of Europe have long
been famed for splendid hotels, in which
the highest possible degree of luxury
was obtainable. IN America, it has been
said. we had no frst-class hotels-meas-
ured on the best European standard
This statement, formerly may have been
true, but 1t is not true today. The Hotel
St Regis, at Fifth avenue and Fifty-fifth
street, New York city, was designed,
built and furnished. and is being oper-
ated and maintained upon standard
equal in all respects to the famous hotels
of London and Paris 1t even exceeds
them all in some of It's attributes, and,
in one respect at least-that of its prices
1t is setting an example of moderatness
and economy that appeals most favorabiy
to Americas great middle class Amer
lean citizens should not be expected TO
pay-and at the St. Regis are not asked
to-more than a fair compensation for
the service rendered. Although living az
the ST. Regis combines the highest de-
gree of hotel comforts with the best fea-
lures of hoine-likeness and refinement,
there is no advance in prices over those
of other first class hotels. Rooms may be
had there as low as So and 81 day Tor
a large handsomely furnished single bed
room; the same with private bath for 80

Paqun and Worth Models Often Sixth Avenue, New York
Designs-Better Tailor Mades On This Side-As Great
Artists At Home AS Abroad
BY DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

sartorial circles have been rudely
shocked of late years by the astounding
information that many a Paquin and
Worth creation, purporting to have ar
rived direct from these famous Partisan
ateliers, have been born and bred in
the obscurity of some Sixth avenue shop
In little old New York. Having no claim
to fame or fortune, they have resorted to
screening their "unknown-ness' behind
the magic names engraved in gilt letters
upon a white satin belt of these famous
French artists.
Femininity seemed to want to be told
that these wonderful gowns were import
ed, and various swell establishments graft
fled their wishes.
Now, then, what more natural than that
American couturieres should have an in
ming, and become as popular as the for
eign designers?
No less a person than Mrs. William II.
Taft has declared for American clothes,
while Mrs Clarence Mackay, when she
has time to tear herself away from the
suffragette cause long enough to discuss
so commonplace topic as mere
Clothes" says that Partisan creations can
not approach, in any way, American de-
signs Then, the very fashionable Mrs.
stuyvesant Fish, several years ago, came
out in prolonged interviews in the New
York papers in favor of American-made
clothes.
While, of course, Mrs. Taft Is the first
lady Of the land" and all that sort of
thing, she is only one of millions, and
Mrs. Mackay making only two. and Mrs.
Fish only three, which leaves countless
thousands who mourn for imported frocks,
and pay their good money for what they
suppose is the real article, only to find
in the long run that they are deceived.
Having never reached that dizzy height
of bliss. the Panassus, where dwell those
who array themselves in the creations
from Partisan and Vianese ateliers. can
scarcely comprehend the rage with which
Polly was consumed a few mornings ago
when she discovered that her French
gown Gas she supposed was merely an
American imitation, for which she had
paid Paris price
Be 1t known to all people that Polly
is near BRIDE" her wedding being set
for early in November, and as she burst
upon me with the startling remuneration
the whole race of women tailors and cou-
turieres in general, and one in particular,
I naturally inquired into the why's and
wherefores of her rage.

beauty 1t was the day l was allowed a
peep at all the lovely things for this
charming bride-to-be.

it so foolish to buy Partisan creations
when, as she says. we have just as good,
If not better, at home"
Don't mention her." shrieked Polly.
for If she opens her mouth to me about
it Tll-Ill-just choke her, I know, for
l can't stand her patronlzing ways any

Mercy, no." replied Polly ut was
purchased in New York, at very swell
and reliable place, and I was assured
that 1t was the genuine article, and good
ness knows 1 paid enough for 1t to be
the real thing"
Perhaps the couturieres are of the
opinion of our friend the late Mr..
p T. Barnum, that the American people
like to be fooled, l suggested.
Some Of the time, maybe replied
Polly, furiously, but not all of the time
and never about clothes!" and with this
emphatic statement Polly left.
I happened to be going to the parlors
of one of the most fashionable of our
modistes and being a Village gossip by
nature, I related what Polly had just told
me and asked the couturiere II people
were often fooled that way.
ITS a funny thing" she said, "how

year who couldn't be induced to buy Il
tailor suit abroad. The English tailors
having no style, fitting in that loose,
bagsy sloppy way that English women
affect, while Partisan tailors can't make
a plain, man-tailored suit to save their
lives-or WON'T don't know which. But
everything they make Is too dressy and
fancy. On the other hand, these same
women couldn't be induced to wear an
evening gown made IN America, the Via
nese and Partisan couturieres modelling so
much more beautiful and dainty things
in this line than can be had here
"All you say about the tailor-mades is
true" responded the couturiere. "Amer-
can women are proud to go abroad In
American tailored suits and outshine the
Parsienne on her native heath, and as
much might be said of the American
made evening gown. OF course, they are
in much better position over there TO
get handsome trimmings and embroiderfes
than we are here and much cheaper, but
their designs are no better and the gowns
no prettier."
MANY real French gowns are not made
by Frenchmen." continued the couturiere.

a poor English boy and as a matter of
fact more of the tailors and dressmakers
in this country have served apprentice
ships in Paris than you can imagine, con-
sequently you often have a gown made
in New York by Partisan fingers, which
were educated abroad instead of here
at home"

Its Capacity
FIREMEN MAY STRIKE
Volunteers Not Satisfied With Dis
charge of Paid Drivers-Rev. w.
w. Harris Accepts Call to
Episcopal Passionate.

Gadsden, October 7.--(Special with the
announcement that the car plant is to
double its capacity and give employ
ment to some six or seven hundred men,
1t is estimated that when the steel plant
is again in operation and the rod, wire
and nail mill is running, that there will
be pay roll in this city of more than a
quarter of a million dollars a month. As
the addition TO the car plant is to be
completed and in operation by January
and operations at the steel plant are to
resume at about the same time, things
will be humming In the Queen City by
the first of the year.
At meeting of the Gadsden fire de-
partment last night the dismissal of the
two drivers discharged a few nights ago
by the council was thoroughly discussed
with view to taking some action there
on While a few of the boys advocated
a wholesale resignation the cooler heads
prevailed and 1t was decided to appoint
a committee to wait on the council and
see If some concession could not be gained
whereby the volunteer firemen might have
some voice In deciding who should hold
the paid positions. 1t is therefore. con-
sldered settled that for the present the
fire company will not be disrupted. and
that some adjustment OF the difficulties
will be made that will be acceptable to all.
The Rev w w Harris OF Decatur has
accepted call from the Episcopal church
of this city and will in a short time move
here to assume the duties OF his new
charge. The call was extended to the
Rev. Harris some weeks ago when he
was here and filled the pulpit of the
church. but was not accepted until to-
day He is well known throughout north
Alabama as an able minister and will
be welcomed by the people of this city.
