trimmings on tailor made suits, and
for the dressier type there is Egyptian
braiding done in the colorings and de-
signs seen on the garments Of the
pharoahc.
The new coats will be, generally
speaking. of three-quarter length, but
the smartest thing of the fall is to be
found in the Egyptian coats. They
are so named because the model is
very short and straight and apparent
ly shapeless. Yet this very shapeless-
ness reveals a master hand. The edge
of the coat has a deep band of finest
braiding, and the coat and sleeves are
cut in one in a way that makes the
heart rejoice. so admirable are the
lines.
To come back for a minute to skirts,
all the waists are still high, quite
as high, in fact, as they ever were, and
there is a fancy for cut up effects

a skirt is really dead to the modish

pened? You all know that this carl
cature of a thing only took on a
stronger lease of life. But, together
with the harem jupe. it has passed to
limbo. Even Poiret, who invented the
last named travesty, admits it to be a
complete failure, and Nine. Paquin, the
originator of the hobble. no longer

I tune with this feature is pictured in
one of the cuts. This Bernard model
shows the tunic falling over very
narrow underskirt. The foundation
skirt measures about forty-eight inches
at the hem and is slashed at the left
side to a depth of ten inches. Over
this is draped fringed bordered tunic.
The jacket is of rather loose fit, with
the back gathered into a low waist
line. The large revers are of draped
white satin, and from one side falls
broad plated jabot. The costume is
carried out in one of the new brocaded
wool materials that have all the luster
of silk
Fancy velvet that look like cordu-
roy are to be popular fabrics for suits
And the smart little velvet suit Illus
trated is of black velvet with white
trimmings. The deep collar and cuffs
pieces and skirt band under the velvet
tunic are of white satin cloth, and the
costume is made more attractive with
white cord trimmings, beading done in
black and white, and black braid and
buttons.
Very striking is the three piece cos
tune designed by Nine. Paquin and
worn recently at the Longehamps race
course by this august fashion author
ity- The skirt wraps the figure about
as closely as possible. which does not
bespeak increasing width in skirts.
The narrow petticoat of the under
skirt, measuring probably one and one
quarter yards in width. is formed of
white broadcloth. with ornamental
straps of navy blue cloth placed at in
tervals to form one and one-haIf inch
stripes. Over this is posed the tunic
which is about two inches short of
full length. This opens at the left side
to a height of twenty inches to reveal
a petticoat in the striped effect. On
one corner of the tunic is q large motif
in soutache, together with ball but
tons in white pearl placed in double
lines along the edge.
One of the greatest fashion innova-
tions of the season is the crinoline or
"hoop" sleeve. This sleeve, designed
for waists is distended at the elbow
bone. The sleeve is built out at the
elbow to give a pronounced balloon
effect. The hoople part is made of
gathered net and is really an under
sleeve of the finest lawn cut in the beIF
shape, with the sleeve of the waist ma
terial falling over it. Those who can
remember as far back as the sixties

MACON READY ID
 MOVE THE CAPITOL Ambitious Georgia Town Really Means Business OPEN HEADQUARTERS Emmett Barnes of Enterprising Ma con Declares They Propose to
 Keep Plugging Away Un-
 til They Get Results
OPEN HEADQUARTERS

Atlanta, July 21.-(Special.)-Little has to lift" the state capitol and carry it away to more central city; but Macon is working, nevertheless, with vigor and vim. even if she is not talking much.
 The enterprising Central City has opened headquarters in the Kimball house here and with strong committee in charge, has begun her campaign.
 Emmett Barnes, a well-kpown Macon ite. whom no one can help liking, even when he comes trying to take something away, Is here. and the Macon contingent, already large one, Is receiving daily additions.
 The bill proposing to remove the capitol to Macon has not been introduced as yet, but it has been prepared, and will be placed before the house and senate with in the next few days.
 "We are right on the job.'' asserted MT. Barnes, and we are going to keep there until we finish It.
 MT. Barnes and others of the Macon delegation, seriously assert that they are here to carry the capitol to Macon and that they are going to do it..
 Some of the Maconites are willing to make the concession that posslpiy they will not succeed in the effort this year, and maybe not next, but that they will get the capitol for Macon within the next few years, they have not the slightest doubt.
 They did not start the ball earlier they say, because they knew there was no use in taking hold until the senatorial at mosphere had been cleared; but now that this is done they have started. and they propose to keep plugging year in and year cut until they get results.

 LEGS-THAT"S ALL"

Cincinnati, July H.-When a patrol wagon responded to an accident call to- day the crew found John Cronin, 19 years old, calmly sitting against telephone post with both his legs cut off.

 What's the matter, asked the stranger"
 Nothing much.' he answered Just lost both my legs--that's all"
 Cronin is now in the city hospital in a critical condition.
