LATEST CREATIONS
Living Models Will Wear Slit
Skirts, X-Ray Gowns, and
All New Styles.

Split skirts. diaphanous dresses, x-ray
creations, and all the other latest wrln-
kles from Paris, and wherever else they
come from, viii! be in evidence on real
live models at the national style show
TO be held at Rauscher's parlors October
/, 2, and 3.
Wrinkles is bad word to use in this
story, for, as a matter of fact, there will
be no wrinkles at ali Everything will
be either very tight or very fiimsy. or
both. for the Washington style artists
are determined to show what they can
do with the near-I9I4 mode of dress.
Charles J. Columbus, who has success
fully conducted three previous STYLE
shows, is again in charge, and today de-
clared that the one Of next October will
be the most pretentious ever ATTEMPTED,
We can afford TO put II on a big
scale" said Mr.. Columbus. for. whereas
our patronage in previous years has
been almost exclusively feminine, this
years styles are calculated 10 fill the
place with men. and our attendance
ought to triple that Of any previous
year"
II is expected that many visitors from
neighboring towns will be in the city at
the time, for the dates come in the fall
trade week, which is being boosted by
the Retail Merchants Association.
The exhibitors will be exclusively
Washington style creators. Most Of the
leading ones are in Europe at present
and will return about the first or middle
of September, so that their first demon
strations Of the new creations they
learned on the summer trip abroad will
be at the style show.
''Of course, the models will be good to
look at" said Mr.. Columbus with en-
present styles. there isn't enough 10 show
about the dress 10 make il worth while
and you have to have a gOOd-looking girl
TO get the effect"

NEW YORK PROVIDES
IDEAL CH|LD'S COURT
Officials Here Contrast New
Building With That Used in
Nations Capital.

Coincident with the laying of the
cornerstone Of the new childrens court
building In New York city, Monday.
Washington court officials and laymen
are contrasting the new building un-
der course Of construction there and
the wholly inadequate home of the
Juvenile Court here, which has been
SO universally condemned by the Ju-
dietary. court officers. and public.
A criticism already passed on the
old building now in use on F street.
has been that the youthful defendants
must be brought into court through a
hall and court room usually filled with
the morbidly curious. which first ter
rifles the child and then has a tendency
to make him brazen. New York is
avoiding such a situation by having
small court room SO that only the
judge, an officer or two, the delin-
quent child and the immediate members
Of his family will be present at the
hearing. A large waiting room adjoins
the court room.
Nursery for Babies.
In the Washington court there is nc
provision made for the babies that often
come under the care of the court tenn
porarily. either by reason OF the de-
sertion of the father or because the
mother is compelled to be present in the
interest Of older children. New York's
building will be equipped with a small
nursery. with a nurse and physician in
charge, TO attend to such cases.
The local court boasts but one deten-
ton room. Its two windows are barred,
giving every suggestion Of imprison-
ment; its only furniture Is an implanted
wooden bench against the wall, and Its
