FEATURES FOR ALL
AT TRI-STATE FAIR
Racing, Vaudeville, Music and
Midway Among Varied
Attractions.
MUSIC BY MARINE BAND
Famous Organization From Washing
ton Will Play at Fair-Midway
Shows for Purest Minded.
Vaudeville and Racing.

Working on the theory that variety
is the spice of life officials of the Tri-
State Fair and Exposition, which opens
September 26, and closes October 4,
have arranged entertainment for all
classes expected to visit the fourth an
nual exhibition in Memphis.
While the more serious form of amuse
msnt occupies the position of pre-em-
inence, especially in connection with an
educational form of public entertain
ment such as the Tri-State Fair has
proven, the demand is always great for
lighter subjects to help drive away the
care and furnish mental dessert for the
feast of good things which the new
premium list discloses.
The famous Marine Band from Wash.
ington will play on October 4. With an
idea to save the best for the last the
management contracted with the famous
organization to give concerts in the aft
ernoon and at night. This is one OF the
famous brass bands of the world. John
Phillip Sousa first came into prominence
as leader of the celebrated organization.
Concessions both new and popular will
be seen at the local midway in con-
junction with the Fair. In addition daily
vaudeville, embracing at least six sep
arate acts will be furnished spectators
absolutely free. Music will also be dis
pensed by brass bands selected from the
best in the country.
The vaudeville and open-air amuse-
ments offered by the Fair Association
to patrons will be varied and selected to
suit both the old and the young.
Racing without the evil of betting
accompanying has been arranged with
rich purses offered for PAGERS and trot-
ters. The runner is barred and the
bookmaker will be missing.

SKIRT LINES.
Skirts remain scant but are of COM
Portable width for walking and the hang
ing panel that masked their plainness
during the summer rs succeeded by vari-
Gus devices in sash effect on the thinner
goods and by bias folds in tucked styles
that break up the skirt in various smart
ways and that transform the extremely
attenuated lines of last season into styles
much more becoming. Soft droopy
frills trim many fussy frocks for dress
wear, and the waists of these are apt to
have crossover bretelles or fichu draper
les edged with the same foppy ruffles.
PRETTY GOWN.
A pretty gown that is going into the
trunk Of a college girl is of white voile
the gathered skirt trimmed with three
five-inch ruffies of rose printed silk,
put on about three inches apart. A
little silk coat of the same forms the
bodice. This has wide collar edged
with ruffles and chemisette OF white
dotted net. Knife pleated rufles of the
silk and net finish the sleeves at the
elbow The sleeve is not kimono, but
is set into the armhole in the old-time
way, though the wide collar conceals
this pretty thoroughly
USEFUL SILK COATS.
The little freakish silk coats that have
been mentioned several times recently
promise to be very popular feature of
fall and winter modes They will re-
place blouses in many tailored suits,
and the drop below the waist may be
anything from three-inch knife plait-
ing to long sash ends. With cloth
tailor-mades the finish is apt to be in
keeping, but for dress wear these coats
may be fancy as desired They will
lend smart air to a demure dress or
refurbsh most satisfactorily. Brocaded
and changeable and surah silks are ali
liked as we'll as satin and printed styles.
PLAIDs FOR COATS AND BLoUsEs.
Some very smart utility blouses and
top coats are shown in striking plaids.
Wooden fringes to match are new with
these and touch Of velvet or satin in
the trimmings or buttons brings out the
color scheme.
RAVEN BLUE.
Raven blue, that is very dark and rich
looking, is relief after all the insistent
blues Of the past season. Grays in
many shades to dark gun metal tints are
to be much worn, and black and bronze
brown remain favorites. Striking con-
trasts in colors in Innings continues,
though this idea has been terribly over J
done. {
