FASHION TABoos LONG TRAINS.
Fashionable Evening Gowns shorn
Appendages, Say Style Experts.

hAPpenoa9eS, say otyIe Experts.
New York. Nov. 24-Among other
horrors of war" the train has disap-
peared from fashionable evening gowns
sccording to style experts. The week.
ly bulletin of style suggestions issued
to it's members by the Fashion Art
League yesterday, says:
with the opening of the American
social season, the long train has been
tabooed by women of fashion, and
short evening gowns are worn exclu
sively. Thus is the war influence on
fashions again displayed. The dearth
of formal social functions in America
is responsible for the vogue of the
short evening gown. The dancing
gown occupies the place Of interest
among these. Two rather distinct
types have developed. One is the wide
corselet effect, swathing the figure
closely from high bust line to a low
hip line. This part of the gown is
often of metal brocade or embroidered
in beads or sequins. The foundation is
close fitting and over this is hung a
long. full. flaring tunic of lace. net or
chiffon. often fur trimmed. The top OF
this gown is very simple indeed. some
times only string Of beads over the
shoulders. In the ultra type OF this
gown the baroness above the bust line
Is Objectionable but with tulle or chif-
fon 1t is beautiful.
The other type spoken OF is Of med
ieval origin and called the chemise
gown. A straight garment. hanging
from the shoulders of some sheer ma
terial over a fitted foundation with a
glrdie encircling the hips. This girdie
can be OF a pronounced oriental effect
and even fur is sometimes used. Fur
is the/predominant note of this sea-
sons trimmings, being used on cos
tunes for every occasion"

SERUM CARRIES DISEASE
Foot and Mouth Epidemic Believed TO
Have Been Transmitted in infected
Hog ssrum-Prehibition Comes Too
Late to Prevent Spread Of Disease.


Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Nov. 25--While there
has been some complaining because Of
the refusal of the veterinary authori-
ties to permit use of hog cholera serum
pending the fight on the foot and
mouth epidemic, the fact seems to be
den all too late. In all probability
there will yet be number OF cases OF
foot and mouth disease in IOWA and
they will be traeeable to the use OF in
fected serum. 1t has been found that
in one county of the state veterln-
arian had been using serum secured
in Chicago and 1t was undoubtedly In
fected AS yet there have been no
new outbreaks of the disease from this
source; but it is regarded as practi-
cally certain there will be some cases
develop, and they are likely to be more
numerous and harder to handle than
the original cases brought with cattle
from Chicago.
It, was not discovered until this week
that any infected serum had been
brought into Iowa.
Almost every day delegations visit
the state veterinarian to induce him to
grant special privileges or permit the
handling OF live stock at this or that
place. One day this week a delegation
headed by banker and a prominent
lawyer came to prevail upon the s:u-
thorities to let up. OF course If the
quarantine should be weakened at one
place it might as well be abandoned.
The lid is being kept on as tightly as
possible at all points

Cedar Rapids Miss Plans Overland
Trip 20 EXPOSITION.

There may not be anything unusual
about person taking "trip to Cali

that the horse that could make such
a mileage day in and day out had not
been bred she did not seem to be the
least deferred in her determination to
attempt the trip. Including herself the
weight the animal will be compelled to
carry will be approximately $50
pounds. In this weight will be included
all the accountrements for overland
travel by horse; also a revolver and a
rifle and such articles of wearing APP
parel that femininity can lot well do
without.
Miss Moore is making the trip for
the outdoor exercise. She anticipates
no hardships. and declares that ii her
brother does not accompany her she
will make the trip alone. She Is some
thing of an equestrienne, having on

back more than thirty-five miles a
day and felt no i'll effects from it. She
has not determined whether she will
make the return trip by horse.
