when dancing is the feature Of the enter
tainment. And 1t is interesting to note
that women are no longer content to be
entertained by the dancing of some profess
! sional. Instead. they insist on taking
| part whenever the opportunity arises.
| Because Of this Unsuitable craze the
newest evening gowns are frequently de-
signed so that they may be used at these
| impromptu dances
| In the above Illustration is depicted a
very charming dinner gown which 1 de-
signed for one of the leaders in the eX-
elusive diplomatic circles of the French
capital.
This creation is developed in a lovely
shade Of sulphur velours de sole, trim
med with white lace, threaded with gold.
The graceful skirt shows an effective
draping of the fabric, which is caught up
with a small floral motif few inches
above the hem. This reveals a paneled
lace front. which is composed Of hand
some lace arranged in three tunics Of
varying length. The corsage is deeply
cut and the V-shaped opening is outlined
with soft ruff1ing of lace that matches
that used in the skirt Small, bell-like
sleeves are also fashioned from the lace.
while rather unusual effect Is obtained
by the draperies of velours de sole on
either side.
The girdle is designed from a softly
folded band of old gold ribbon. and at one
side mammoth blue rose lends a bril-
! liant flash of color to this attractive
| gown.
| Many very charming afternoon frocks
i are being worn at this time, when the
| new modes for the coming season are ap-
| pearing.
| One that l liked very much was made
| of blue brocaded taffeta-a fabric that
! will be adopted for many Of the most
-, delightful dresses in the coming season.

! while it was so supple that very grace
! full draperies were evolved.
| The style Of this gown was decidedly
! smart and embodied some of the most
| noticeable style tendencies of the present
| hour. The lines of the bodice were al
| most entirely hidden by an expansive lace
/ frill that circIed around the shoulders and
! extended to the waist like q. cape. A high
: fiat girdle of the silk was placed around
| the waist. and fastened in front with two
| large buttons that certain coat-like
! effect was obtained. The skirt was de-
| signed with a deep basque that fiared
I from the figure, in a series of rather wide
pleats Beneath this an irregular cut
! tunic passed toward the back, where it
| was skillfully. developed into rather pic
turesqle sash ends The draping on the
lower part of the skirt was cleverely dis
posed beneath this, and the skirt was
| prettily tilted up In front.
| The long sleeves were cuffed in a most
uncommon fashion, for beneath the elbow

fan-shaped frills of the silk that depended
lightly from the arm. To fill in the space
from elbow to wrist soft pleatings Of lace

brought up over the tunic. though the
effect is really gained by slashing the
tunic at that point and concealing each
edge under a fold of the draping.
There are any number of lovely color
developments which can be applied to
this pretty calling costurne.- and In ma
terials with an interviewer. border very
successful results can be had. Such a
gown as this is bound to give service. for
there is no reason why it could not be
worn as a street dress in warm weather
without a coat.
Another variation Of the same can have
the blouse and tunic entirely of chiffon in
the same color as that of the satin skirt,
in which instance lace, as a border trim
ming. can be made most effective. One
suggestion along these lines would have
white lace set on the wrong side of the
sleeves and tunic SO that it is yelled by
the chiffon. This would need dark chif-
fon. however, to give the proper appear
ance. For instance, one might select an
olive green charmeuse for the skirt and
the same color for the chiffon blouse and
tunic, in which case white shadow lace,
in rather bold design, applied to the
under side, will stand out in smart relief

off before sewing again.
When the thread persists in breaking
1t is sometimes due to an imperfect ten
sion. This is especially so in the case of
| new machines, but if the tension proves
to be quite correct and the machine has
been in use some time. then it is proba-
bly, due to a rough surface in the guide
holes. This causes the thread to roughen
and draw, and when it gets to the needle
it cannot go through and so snaps off.

to have the thread break every few min

THE Revived BOLERO

BY sheer pertinacity the designers have

tell us that the fur bolero is not DC

There is evident in the designs of these

No. 19.-Preparations.

I scanned the help wanted-females"
columns in the Sunday papers very care
fully. They ended by frightening me.
They sounded SO terse, so sure of what
they wanted. And I was so utterly in
experienced. Moreover you must re-
member I did not wish to go to work
because of any desire to be of use in the
world. Not at all. I only wanted to
follow out the idea the girl at the dance
had put into my head. 7 wanted to leave
my home simply to meet men.
AS l have said, the advertisements in
the big newspapers, which came from the
city, frightened me. All those that ap-
pealed tom as desirable seemed to require
persons of cleverness and education. All
those that held out hope to a girl of my
attainments seemed-to put 1t frankly
too much like work. I ended by throwing
down the sheets in encouragement and
picking up our own local suburban news
paper. ] learned in this there was a po-
sition open as saleswoman i'll the bakery.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.

Notwithstanding the craze there is for
bright colors and combinations Of colors,
there is more than an occasional success
in neutral tones-grays. mauves and tans
that compares favorably with them. and
one of these is illustrated in the accom-
panying sketch. Its material is mauve
chameuse, and since borders are favored
as trimming, an attractive method of en-
ploying the same is brought about by
means of black lace applied as border.
The blouse is greatly relieved by quite an
expansive fichu- -guimpe of white net,
folded softly across the space between
the open blouse fronts and folded back
over either side The body portion of the
blouse is full and softly bloused at the

By DRECoLL, 4 Place de ropera,
Paris.

Perhaps the most extraordinary fashion
that has invaded Paris is the wearing of
wigs to match the costume Strange as it
may appear, some wonderfully pictur-
esque effects are obtained. although it is
a mode that I do not consider will be-
come popular.
However, the fashionable woman who
favors a bright green gown. now wears
hair Of matching hue, while. should she
don red dress, her hair will likewise be
of a ruby or rose shade, for every color
is in readiness for the faithful devotee of
fashion. Happily this style is reserved
for evening. SO that when you walk
abroad your hair still retains the color
which nature gave it.
While this mode has created quite a
sensation, many of the smartest society
women are still so enamored of the
tango that the events of both day and
night are most enthusiastically welcomed

RIOTS MARK THE END OF
ORANGE DAY CELEBRATION
Unionists Attack Catholic Church and
Smash Windows at Londonderry
$4,000 March in Parade.

Belfast. Ireland, July 14.-Outbreaks
marked the celebration of Orange day
in several towns.
Inc demonstration at Drumbeg cul-
minated in. scene of immense en-
thusiasm when Sir Edward Carson,
Bible in hand, pledged the covenanters
never to surrender to coercion, to re-
main loyal to the throne, and never to
WaVer IN their support of their leaders
IN the tight against home rule.
Inc nrfst serious outbreak was re-
ported from Balloybofey, where Ma
journalists, the home rule supporters,
attacked the police barracks and
smashed in all the windows. The DO
lice, using riot sticks, dispersed the
mob.
At Londonderry Orangemen began
their celebration by firing salutes from
a battery Of guns. The residents of
the Catholic section of the city be-
neved this was the beginning of an
organized attack and organized for de-
tense, but the salutes stopped before
serious trouble resulted.
An outbreak came at the close of the
celebration in Londonderry when a
crowd of Unionist sympathizers at
tackled st. Patricks Catholic hall and
smashed all the windows The crowd
was made up of the Protestants who
had spent the day celebrating the an
nlversary of the battle of the Boyne.
Although elaborate ceremonies had
been planned for every community in
Ulster province, the attention of the
entire United Kingdom was focused
ON Belfast, where Sir Edward Carson,
the Unionist leader of the anti-home |
rule forces, led $4,000 marchers |
through the city of Drumbeg.
While the procession was passing
through the city a woman suddenly |
dashed through the police lines and
stabbed one of the marchers with a
pair of scissors. The wound was not |
dangerous, and the woman was fined
,nly five dollars when arraigned be-

JUSTICE HORACE H. LURTON
DIES SUDDENLY IN HOTEL
U. S. Supreme Court Jurist at SEVENTY
Succumbs to Heart Trouble-Was
Appointed by Taft.

Atlantic City, July 13.-Horace
Harmon Lurton, associate justice of
the United States Supreme court, died
IN his apartments in a beach front
MOTEL. The cause of death was heart
failure. Justice Lurton was in his
SEVENTEEN year.
Inc body will be taken to Washing
ton this afternoon in a private car
attached to one of the regular trains.

pointed chancellor of the sixth chan
Gerry division of Tennessee from 1875
to 1878, when he resigned and re-
turned to private practise.

In 1886 he was elected Judge of the
supreme court of Tennessee and in
1893 he was elected chief justice, re-
signing to accept an appointment by
President Cleveland as United States
circuit judge in the sixth circuit On
this bench for years he was associat-
ed with former President. Taft, which
association led Taft to appoint him to
the United States Supreme court in
1909, despite criticism that he would
favor the corporations.
1t was charged that in cases analo-
gous to the Standard Oil case Judge
Lurton had invariably leaned toward
construction Of the law favorable |
to the corporation defendants. And |
in his decision On the
safety appliance law, which was
sharply criticized, he was charged
with having pointedly disagreed with
he construction of the law by the Su.
1reme court.
He was dean of the law department
ind professor of constitutional his
ory at Vanderbilt university.
