Nothing Too Costly for American Women
Daring French Effects in Flesh=Colored
Fabrics Lace the Fad Smart Paris
ian Capes Like Huge Bags

- ARLY In February a woman at
Palm Beach wrote to a friend In
New York: IF I were to stay two
weeks more I should need a thou
sand dollars worth more OF evening
gowns"
The pageant of splendor which nightly
promenaded in the bathrooms and corri-
doris of the great hotels is hardly con-
ceivable to those who did not witness the
magnihcence of the evening frocks worn
this winter. One expects something OF
this sort at the opera and takes the ex-
quisite frocks and gorgeous wraps which
trail out of the foyer into the carriage
vestibule as a matter of course. but IL Is
at such assemblages of cosmopolitan
Americans as gather at Palm Beach. At
lantic City and like resorts that the OBJ
server is impressed with the splendor of
state-that is, of sartorial state-of the
womenfolk OF the multi-mllionaire.
Costly Fabrics Employed.
Rarest laces and gold and silver trim
mings costing up to $40 a yard are com
bined with exouisitely soft flowing sat
ms, embroidered gauzes regal velvets and
layers of chiffon one above another.
There are chiffons, too, draped above
cloths of gold; there are TUNES OF hlmy
stuff weighted down with organisations of
beads and jewels that they cling like
wet bathing suits TO slim figures AL
ways the effect of the new evening gowns
is clinging, and the more of the figure
lines that can be revealed the better
seems to be the opinion of the French
couturiers. The revealing effects are not
confined to the decolletage, which, it
must be confessed. is usually appaIlingly
low, but the whole gown is made to fol-
low the plastic lines of the figure like
one again thinks OF the bathing suit
idea-damn fabric.
Two costumes of this revealing charac-
ter were exhibited by dressmaker noted
for his eccentric and original effects at
the opening of the Rostand play in Paris
earlier in the winter. Both these gowns
were worn by very young and slender
women with undcveloped. girlish figures.

ing of any kind One gown was of semi
transparent gauze. beaded in dull gold
and bronze. 1t hung over a slip of flesh
colored silk which was so scant that its
wearer could scarcely step. The heavy,
clinging costume defined every youthful
curve of its wearer's figure and the long,
close sleeves came far down over her
finger tips. The decolletage was modest
and was outlined with a curious bronze
trimming. The companion gown, made
exactly in the same fashion, was of black
gauze beaded with jet and hung over
black slip. 1t not startling, how
ever as the gold costume over a flesh
colored lining.

for the white chiffon. from the waist up.
yet this effect was merely suggestive and
was achieved entirely by the use of ma
terials, the decolletage being really a

chiffon well covering the shoulders.
A lovely little gown worn by youth
full matron on the same evening was of
blue chiffon and was strickingly simple,
a tunic of the chiffon crossing the bust
in surplice fashion and falling over the
skirt to the knees in front from where it
sloped downward TO cover the slight
train at the back. The backs of the
tunic also crossed in surplice style. but

If one is to judge by the general stir
and live interest being manifested by

effort in the dissemination of knowledge
that must prove helpful to all present
About seventy years have elapsed since
the dislodgement of the monster cap
stone of Chimney Rock took place and
went crashing to the rocks below. This
feat was accomplished by score of Me-
chanicstowners who had gone there with
ladders to rescue one Timothy Rickseck-
er who had climbed to it's summit but
could not retrace the steps and strides
he had made in reaching his perilous sit
uation. To Chimney Rock that capstone
meant great deal, and pity it is that
it was thus dismantled and shoven off it's
former prominence and interest. So to
the adventurous and foolhardy Timothy
Ricksecker must be attributed the NOV
ing Of that lone sentinel and interesting
landmark. No, they rescued Timothy
before dislodging the rock.

On Saturday, Jan'y 22d, Mr.. Harry A.
Flohr boarded the Fast Mail at Thurmont
at G. 05 a. M, and went to Cumberland;
at that place he went over the B. & O.
road to Pittsburg and from there to Bea-
yer Falls, Pa, this place being his for
mer home for about IL years. On ac-
count Of raging blizzard when he ar
rived there, he was obliged to stop at a
hotel until Sunday morning, when he was
able to visit old friends and attend church
services. While at Beaver Fall he visit
ed the great Saw Works where he had
been walking engineer.
One feature in Mr. Flohr's trip which
he speaks of, is of great credit to the
Western Maryland railroad. He left
Beaver Falls about seven a. M, and ar
rived at Thurmont at 5. Is p M, whereas,
on other trips he was compelled take a
day and night to make the trip. The
W. M. reaching Cumberland enabled Mr..
Flohr to make the trip in one day.
Mr.. Flohr states that property values
have advanced very much-the home
which he sold for 81, 600 could not be pur-
chased at present for So, 900.

had torn into strips and fastened one
end to an iron bar across the window and
the other around his neck. He was dis
covered by an attendant. Bernard was

as compared with 56O,ss in 1900. This

This puts Boston out of the reach OF
Baltimore, the population Of which has
not yet been announced. Boston will
stand fifth, next to st. Louis, which has
$4,000, and Baltimore will come next,
sixth on the list. Pittsburg is the sew
enth city, ranking next to Baltimore.
A decade ago st. Louis outranked Bos-
ton by only 1896, and the present CEN
sus leaves st. Louis ahead by l6,444.
There was but slight change in the rate
of progress in the two cities, st. Louis
increase from 1909 to 1910 being 1914
and Boston beating that by 2-l0 of one

Boston's population 20 years ago was

was 1l2.4l5, or 25.l per cent.
