Is especially interesting because Illus
trates a good many style tendencies.
There is a foundation skirt of black
velvet, which Is quite a usual feature OF
many new frocks. There is a bodice OF
cerise taffeta. and a long tunic OF lace
trimmed with small taffeta roses. The
taffeta Is sleeveless, and the long, snug
sleeves are OF lace unlined.
The short. wrinkled bodice is an out
growth Of the long. wrinkled basque that
Premet introduced last spring. and It is
a favorite late-summer model. II is
easier to~wear than the long basque,
which presupposes a figure as slight and
straight as the one that has been gener-
a.. n demand for the last few years
III long sleeves OF lace are another
"a .'eature OF this frock. They are
foCnd in many models that have a sleeve
less over-bodtce Of some other fabric
sometimes velvet or satin. sometimes
chiffon.
Velvet in summer.
This summer velvet has received an
undue amount Of attention. Why, ques-
tons the person who is looking for some
thing logical in the development OF fash
ion, why should velvet gain such a strong
footing as a midsummer fabrics?
II shouldn't There is no answer to the
query.
But velvet has gained a strong footing
in the affection OF the dressmakers and
fashionable women. too. this summer.
Just as chiffon bodices were the rule
last winter, and lace ones may be- the
rule next winter. so velvet capes and
skpts, bodices, cloaks and hats have all
thrived in abundance this summer.
II has been said by somebody that men
always think a black velvet frock Is the
embodiment of everything attractive in
clothes. Whether their liking for velvet
frocks Is universal or not. there Is q GER
tain richness and grace about velvet
frock that none other has. That. prob
ably, Is one reason wmen have worn this
heavy fabric willingly this summer. As
for the velvet hat, It is almost always be-
coming. Dark and soft. It gives becom-
ing shadow to the face beneath It and
harmonizes with q frock Of any mater
ial
Judging by the early models in this
country. as well as by reports from
France, broadcloth will have all the pop
ulerity that was predicted for It One
very effective suit already shown Is
made of fawn-colored broadcloth, with
seal cuffs and collar.
Serge, too, has maintained its popular
ity throughout the summer and will Be
used again In the autumn. Many Of the
new serge suits are bound about the
edges with silk braid. And most Of them
show long tunics on the skirts ,.

WAR AND FASHIONS.

Just what effect the war situation in
Europe will have on French fashions, 1t
Is impossible now to tell. II the trouble
is OF long duration. probably there will
Re no f4shlUnr openings In Paris this
month, and perhaps not at an th'S
autumn. Already they have been in
definitely postponed. 4 Country that Is
at war has little time to think of clothes.
Moreover, with all the reserves called
out, where would the French dress
makers get employees TO help them carry
on their business. and with the hotels
closed because the walters and other en-
ployes are going TO their regiments where
would the buyers in Paris stay? With q
general continental war waginE. the only
buyers would be Americans; and they
will probably be glad TO leave Paris with
empty hands. IL only they can make SURE
of a safe return to this country. So, II
the war continues. there are few who will
miss the August fashion openings al
Paris
In the meantime, what will happen in
the fashion world? It has been suggested
that this is q good time for American
designers to come to the fore and prove
that they can handle the unexpected sit
uation in the fashion world.
Another suggestion made in the trade
world is that all the merchandise now on
hand Will be sold. Women have been
holding back because they have not been
sure OF the fashions for the late sum-
mer. With no standard Of fashion save
the one In vogue at the moment, and
with no new models coming into the
country, women in need Of clothes will
Of necessity buy the models already on
hand.
It is an I'll wind that blows nobody
good; and whereas there is probably not
a merchant in the United States who
hopes for q big European war, there are
doubtless many who would get rid Of big
stocks of perfectly good clothes, which
have not been bought simply because
women this summer have been in con-
slant expectation Of some radical change
OF style.
Lace is one Of the most adaptable fab
1cs. and dt IL use to a large extent In
both afternoon and evening frocks. RE
ports last week from Deauville. where
fashionable people from all over the
world flock to be near the sea and each
other. said that many lace frocl1s were
worn there, and they are as much worn
In our own fashionable centers as they
are at Deauville-
Metallic lace Is used, too. Sometimes
designs are woven In q wide-meshed hlet
net with silver or gold threads for even
ing wear.

mainland tour this afternoon. On the two pre-
vious trips the team has made a high reputation
not only for playing ability but for clean sports
manship and as good advertising medium for

overwhelming majority Of their games and their
conduct has been such as TO please all their
friends who saw them in various mainland cit

seeing the speedy Youngsters win over the best
amateur and semi-professional teams of the west

ARMY AND NAVY NOTES

From the best information that the
local officers can get from Washing
ton. Major general William w Woth-
erspoon, now assistant chief of staff.
will succeed Major-general Leonard
Wood as chief Of staff when that Of
ficer becomes commanding officer Of
the Eastern department, April I'D.
If such is the case. however. it will
be at best temporary appointment
for General Wotherspoon goes on the
retired list November 18th. Should
General Wotherspoon become chief of
staff there is every likelihood that
Brigadier- general Tasker H. Bliss,
now commanding the Southern de-
partment, will be made his assistant
In that case. there is possibility, al
though not probability, that GEN
eral Bliss will, upon the retirement of
General Wotherspoon. be made ma
jcr-general, and possibly chief of
staff.
1t is rather generally believed that
while the changes are under consider
alton by the Secretary of War, that
official has not as yet decided upon
an appointment. and will not for sew
eral weeks to come.
