Beware of The Tricks
of The Liquor Traffic

The people Of Virginia are warned against the
use Of money in the election Of September %, and
also against placing any reliance In false and SIAN
derous statements circulated too late to be corrected
The Virginia law on bribery in elections is very
and the effort Of the representatives Of the
liquor traffic to debauch the electorate Of Virginia
should be rebuked by an overwhelming defeat, and
the men who engage in such efforts should be severely
punished. We hope and believe they will.

What wonderful change that the Journal is under the direction
and control of the liquor traffic
The Washington herald., 1914-09-13

HoATS are always subject Of
interest with the incoming Of
cool weather and this year
there Is unusual variety offered. In
spite Of the fact that long coats on the
redingote order have been talked, the
thorter coats are the ones in demand
for street costumes and both the plain
, ones and those in cape style are offered
The cape coat is perhap me greatest
novelty. Ii Is utilized 70: street cos
tunes, for evening wear, for travelling,
motoring and the like ami sometimes
a single model can be converted to
several different uses merely by a
thange of materials. The plaid coat
over the plain waistcoat shown in the
picture is onssof the sort and. as made
Aere, combines plaid wool with plain
broadclothi consequently, it is adapted
to general wear, to golf and the like
but it frequently is seen made Of plain
colored broadcloth with lining and
waistcoat Of pale oolored or white
satin or of colored charmeuse over a
white waistcoat to become adapted to
evening occasions. Since it is always
pretty and graceful and very generally
becoming. it is welcome, to whatever
use it is put. At the left is shown one
Of the. loose straight coats in cape
style. Really it is made with raglan
sleeves with a small shoulder cape
arranged over it but the lines suggest
those of the cape and the garment
is an exceedingly attractive one. The
skirt with the long plain tunic shown
with it is an excellent one for the
purpose and the combination Of plain
broadcloth with striped is smart in the
extreme. The remaining coat in cape
style is designed for practical wear,
for motoring. travelling and all such
occasions. IN the picture. it is made
Of blue serge with trimming Of plaid

material and is worn over a tunie
skirt that combines two materials
The coat can be made with or without
the sleeves, for the cape perfectly
protects the arms. When the coat Is
used as separate wrap, double-taced
cloths are liked and there are great
many wool velours and the like that
are exceedingly handsome for the
pIrpose-
Simple tailored suits always are in
demand. The cutaway coat and skirt

make two important innovations and
there is ripple effect at the hips and
one at the lower edge. Costumes of
the sort are always best made from
simple materials adapted to the tailor
finish. We shall. see a great deal Of
broadcloth this summer as well as
gabardine, serge, cheviot and the
like. Velvet trimmings make a notable
feature Of the autumn. too, and the
collar and cuffs Of black on the back
ground of the blue known as Labrador
are exceedingly handsome.
At the extreme right is shown one
Of the novelty suitings in shades Of
brown. The coat is made with the
japanese sleeves that 50 many women
prefer to every other sort and is finished
with faring rIf1e that gives an emf
nently smart touch. The skirt is
plain one in two-piecs style with two
hounces arranged over it to give a
tunic effect A different but equally
smart effect could be obtained by
making the coat Of heavy moire silk,
bengaline or velvet while the skirt Is Of
serge, broadcloth or other contrasting
material, for such combinations are
to be much worn and the materials
chosen lend themselves to the treat
ment with perfect success

\ 10 matter how many garments Of
N similar sort may be in woman's
wardrobe, there is always room
for another pretty negligee. These.

Of lace.
The house jacket with the tucked
fronts and the one with the big rolling
collar are very practical as well as
charming garments. They can be made
easily and quickly and a change Of
negligees adds greatly to a woman's
comfort while, at the same time. they
serve a really economical end as they
are apt to mean a saving Of the blouses
and gowns designed for more formal
wear.

THERE is no prettier or more fash

lace with taffeta. This frock is
all white with the color found in the
rosebud trimming and in the bunch
Of roses. 1t is very dainty, very charm
ing and, at the same time, eminentIy

7 YAPPILY for the world Of fashion.
n the season Of Trouville was in
full force before the horror Of
war came to shock the civilized world.
In spite of the fact that the French
houses will not be able to hold their
openings and buyers across the sea
will not be able to give thought to the
matter Of importing models, We have
sufficient information as to the ex-
pected styles to give Us ample oppor-
tunity for development and sufficient
goundwork on which to build up a sea-
son Of our own. II as has been claimed,
it is true that American designers need
only the opportunity to prove their
skill, that opportunity likely is at hand.
With such hideous worldwide catas-
trophe as this war facing US, thoughts
of dress seem trivial but experience
shows that fashions come and go what
ever the great events and whatever
the tragedies Of life and. even as
France was particular to be in the
latest style during the days of that
terrible Revolution which sent 50 many
brave souls to the scafold. we may
expect new developments in cut and
style, let the rulers Of Europe decree
what slaughter they may.
Here in our own climate. we have
still a great many weeks OF warm
weather to anticipate. While we are Of
course interested in what will be worn
with the coming Of autumn, there are
apt to be somewhat more immediate
demands that are more pressing and
the latest advices from the French
watering places are replete with sug-
gestions for immediate wear.
All sorts of wonderful white costumes
are fashionable for morning wear at
resorts and, for afternoon occasions,
muslins are developed in most fssci-
Mating way. French women have
always been fond of fine muslin The
real French grande dame finds fine
quality and dainty workmanship far
more to her liking than elaborate trim
ming and some Of the most beautiful
costumes are really the simplest in
design. Then, too, the latest fashions.
the hounced skirts and the like, are
especially well suited to dainty fabrics
and, for late summer. there is fancy
for combining these beautiful materials
with taffeta and the soft silks in be-
coming colors, the combinations bring
ing about some very beautiful effects
from the standpoint Of color as we'll as
style. A fascinating gown that makes
a good example is made Of the finest
India muslin. The skirt consists OF
four gathered rufies that are cut in big
scaIlops at their edges, these scalloPs
being embroidered not bound

and, in this instance. lace houncinS
falls over the skirt below the puffs. In
the back view, the skirt is shown with
out the founce and it will be found
desirable for taffeta and for the soft
satins that are so much worn through
out the autumn and for almost any
material suitable to dressy costume
