TT seems that designers who en-
l deavor to prepare styles which they
hope will become fashions, have
worked along the most Independent
lines There is no apparent uniform
ity of ideas in the construction of cos
tunes, except the general approval
given to narrow skirts and big waists.
Accept these two features, look to the
Orient for inspiration, and you may
evolve styles to suit yourself. There
is no hint to variety and eccentricity.
The Turkish pantaloon skirt Of
heavy and supple black satin which is
shown here is an approved model It
is picturesque but not a graceful
garment, made to hang about a slim
figure. And it takes slimness to the
point of attenuation to wear drapery
on these lines, with any success But
the idea of the pantaloon as suggest
ed here brought in variety of skirts
with drapery arranged at the sides in
this fashion.
In the majority of similar skirts
less material is used, and in a simpler
arrangement. The front is plain and
there is 10 need of the lace under
founce at the bottom. Wide fabrics
are cut in such a way that the skirt
is narrow at the bottom, draped in
hanging folds about the hips, and
finished with a plain panel at the
back. This Interpretation of the
pantaloon skirt is more pleasing, more
Simple and far more popular than the
original development, which came
from the Callot salon and which is
pictured in the illustration
The little Turkish jacket worn with
the skirt is in blue velvet 1t is a

smart, military looking affair, very
rich and rather simple. Black vel
vet and silk ornaments form it's dec
grafton. The model hangs loosely on
the figure and is one Of a few sue
cessful designs which incorporate a
plain sleeve with arms eye defined
Such a sleeve is shapeless-a straight
tube, saved from ugliness by the in
sertion of panels and cuffs of black
velvet below the elbow. But it is in
harmony with the jacket and skirt-it
is true to the original Turkish jacket.
To be strictly fashionable, one must
look as if the clothes were carelessly
adjusted. This is fad OF the hour.
A general falling -to-pieces and don't
care-if-I do pose has been adopted by
some extremists, but they are few.
Clothing is soft, roomy and comfort
able looking and tending more and
more toward a graceful draping of
the figure.
In spite of all this variety and &c
centricity of styles, the good looking
taflor-made suit continues to flourish
almost undisturbed by the restless
striving for something new. It is
somewhat less severe, inOulSlHS a HI
tie in the use of draped lines in skirts
and roominess in coats The peg-top
skirt and the Russian blouse make
combination as smart and up-to-date
as can be, in the development of tail
or-mades. A suit Of this kind, with
soft blouse of silk or lace, borrows
Just enough from the fads of the sea-
son to be quite in the mode, without
losing the tailored character which
so appeals to American women.

BEE sTINGs HALT WEDDING
Mississippi Bridegroom Requires MedI-
cal Treatment just Before the
Ceremony.

Moselle, Miss.-Dr. R. H. Crawford
while preparing for his wedding,
hitched his horse too near some bee
hives. The bees attacked the horse,
and in unhitching the animal, Doctor
Crawford was SO severely stung that
he became unconscious. The horse
wrecked the buggy and probably will
die. Doctor Crawford was revived by
fellow physicians and his marriage
with Miss Lena Miller took place,
about an hour late.
Doctor Crawford is treasurer of the
town and surgeon-physician for the
New Orleans Northeastern railroad.

They are shown in the richest weaves,

THE MAXWELL MOTOR
COMP NY DID. We
considered it good business,
even if not a moral or
legal obligation.
WE FOUND 1z2, 900 owners
out in the cold, as it were
pleading for parts. Their
cars laid up and useless In
most cases.
WE'VE INVESTED about
one and three-quarters mil
lions ($1,75o,O00) dollars In
a plant and stock of parts,
for over 80 different mod
els, made by the concerns
that comprised the United
States Motor Company
whose assets we purchased
from the Receiver thru
the u. S. Courts.
WE TOOK THE NAME

protection of $1,000 persons
who had bought cars under
that name.

OTHER NAME those Co.

THERE ARE TIL R E E
GOOD REASONS why
you should have your car
overhauled now and worn
parts replaced.
FIRST: The garage man
can give you better service
and you can spare the
car better now than later.
No matter whether you are
going to keep the car, or
sell or trade it in on new
one-it will pay you well
to have it thoroughly over
hauled, worn parts replaced
by new ones and body re-
painted.
SECOND: We are able to
furnish replacement parts
for all models of above
makes of cars within 48
hours from receipt of or
der. Have concentrated
this branch of the business
at Newcastle, Ind. Center
of population of the U. S.
Here we have a S1,750,000
investment in plant and
stock. $4,000 separate bins
of parts.
THIRD: And perhaps the
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now-We must increase
prices 2O% January LIST,
when the new parts price
lists viii be off the presses.
NOW NOTE THIS-Never
before in the history of this
industry has a new con-
Germ, having bought the
plants and assets of 4 bank
rupt one, taken upon itself
the obligation Of furnishing
replacement parts for the
cars it never made.
