American Feminine Type
Demands Distinctive Fashions

tune was not only becoming to It's wearer
but seemed to subtly although definitely
define her relation TO the bride and BRIDE
groom. II is not etiquette for, say, rela-
ton by marriage to be dressed quite as
deliberately as the mother Of the BRIDE
and this point was so cleverly brought
out that it was not difficult for stran-
ger TO recognize the relationship or DIX
ferent members Of the cortege.
The brides gown was a poetic repre-
sentation of what a French wedding
frock should stand for, combination OF
the simplicity Of girls wardrobe with
the dignity betting her entrance into
married life and its increased social re-
sponslbilities. 1t was of white satin ana
made with a strong Greek suggestion, the
underskirt clinging about the feet in soft
folds and the tunic, short In front ana
cut diagonally up toward the left nip
extending behind to form a long, square
train. The waist line was high and the
upper part of the corsage composed OF
draped belt and deep yoke of embroidered
tulle, ending In a lace fichu about the
bust. This was draped on one side and
held with single waxen lily with smooth,
green leaves. The veil. an historic square
Of old point, was arranged with ono cor
rer forming a tiny cap, held about the
head with q tiny crown of fieurs de lis
made of pearls and fligree work. The
remainder of the veil fell over the train
to the floor
The brides mother, slender and youth
full In appearance, wore one OF the new
panner tunics of royal blue mousseline
de sole over trailing undergown OF white
lace. re-embroidered with silver and white
cord. The top of the tunic, shaped and
crossed like a fichu, had the edges seal
loped and finished with heavy blue cord
and continued as broad border all
about the rounded skirts of the garment
From the narrow belt to this tight border
the sides Of the tunic pulled out In quite
an extraordinary amount Of fulness.
The other belle-mere was portly and Inv
pressiye, but her costume contained an
amount Of fulness that furnished an ex-
cellent support to the contention that tho
modes Of the past few years have NOT
been becoming to the stout woman. Tne
materials chosen were deep purple, SATIN
and black lace, colors and materials be-
loved by French dowagers OF the old
school. The lace oyerskirt was cut in
panels; IN the back these fell straight,
but on the sides they were looped up
and caught on the skirt. A jacket, or
rather coat, suggestion was given TO the
lace tunic by revers OF black satin and
sash that turned into narrow positions
in the back.
II is not the custom in France to have
the bridesmaids costumes uniform. They
gain in variety from this reason, that
they lack certain charm. One very odd
costume had tunic Of brick-colored
silk embroidered in heavy white cotton
and ornamented with white porcelain
buttons. with black enamel centres an
overskirt OF pale salmon pink mousselins
de sole, and an under-dress Of white mui.
This idea of three garments is new ana
likely to become popular

Buyers from This Country
Now Look Askance at
Partisan Modes.
Paris, July 5.

oiiS, jug "
A careful observer Of women's fashions
said during a recent visit to Paris that
what impressed him most I'm regard to
French modes was, in contrast to those
worn by the same class in America, their
absolute femininity The new fashions
are certainly feminine compared to those
OF a year ago that IS, there Is much more
drapery, a searching after the pictur-
esoue and unusual, and more dainty and
luxurious accessories. He went on to
state that he doubted II American women
would much longer look to Paris for their
standard in dress, for the reason that the
American type was growing more ana
more defined and for that reason more
and more insistent on styles that would
develop and emphasize 1t. It is quite true
that the buyers this year seemed some
what afraid of many of our best and most
novel ideas. and as a rule took back only
rather conventionalized notifications Of
them But this is a long way from say
ing that America is going to get along
without the impetus from France.
The Paris couturier to-day is a creator
OF modes, cosmopolitan in his point or
view, educated I'm regard to the needs OF
other countries and an artist In carrying
out his conceptions. He is trained and he
has generations of training behind him.
It is going to be difficult in any country
where the art Of gown building is COM
paratvely new to compete with him. He
will devise fashions for any one, for any
country, for all conditions and climates.
American women would not look well
wearing in America gowns and hats
created for Paris and for the use Of
French women. For one thing the cli-
mate is more severe. more marked in its
changes than 1t is here and the present
fashions, so volumnous, so heavy, with
trimmings, would not be suitable. So
cial conditions, too, have a marked in
fiuence on fashions here. There is no
such thing as a popular fashion: as soon
as fashion becomes generally worn II is
condemned American women, en- masse,
are probably the best dressed in the
world, while from the French point Of
view. individually, they are not
The present fashions illustrate better
than has been the case for years how
pre-eminent are the Paris designers. The
return to draperies and panniers shows
manipulation OF cloth that was not
known when extra fulness was before in
favor And more important than the
adapting and changing of the modes is
the personality they express. In Paris
fashions are designed for individuals, not
for any large class OF people.
A recent wedding, a very smart one,
brought out gowns that furnish an excel
lent illustration OF this point. The gowns

when he put the matter up to his nancee,
Miss Nellie Maud l'ierris, she agreed
promptly that they ought TO steal
march on the older folks.
Mrs. Beaver and Mr. Whitney started
for Hampstead Saturday to secure their
marriage license, travelling in leisurely
way by carriage. When they had gone a
mile or SO they were startled by the
speed at which an automobile raced past
chem. Needless 10 say, it bore Edward
Beaver and Miss Ferris, bound on
similar errand.

COMMUTERS WIN FIGHT.
Jersey Railroads Must Issue
Demonstration Tickets.
NEW SCHEDULE ORDERED
Companies Lose Appeal from
Decision of Public Utilities
Board of Year Ago.

Trenton. n. J.. July 15.-Justice Trench
ard rendered an opinion to-day In the
Supreme Court which is Of the utmost inn
portance to the commuters that use the
various railroads in New Jersey. The
roads have been fighting the order Of the
Public Utilities Commission 10 compel
them to issue tickets to various points IN
the state to commuters and also to re-
wise their schedules OF rates.
The opinion to-day upholds the order of
the commission and says the roads must
comply with il. The case was brought to
the Supreme Court by the Pennsylvania
Railroad, acting for itself and the other
roads operating in the state which had
been ordered by the Public Utilities Com
mission to sell Communication tickets to
riders between stations. and also to
Camden, Jersey City and Hoboken, rather
than New York and Philadelphia. as is
the custom now.
The commission also ordered the roads
10 revise their schedules of rates for both
trips and Communication. The court holds
that the roads must sell Communication
tickets between the home stations Of the
commuters and Camden, Jersey City and
Hoboken If 1t is so desired by the COM
muter. The new schedule of rates must
be submitted to the commission for APP
prevail.
The war has been going on for about
year. The roads contended that their
Communication traffic was interstate, and
not intrastate as held by the commits
sion. The court in It's opinion to-day
holds that such traffic is not interstate.
