FEMIN|N|TY RULES
AT AUTO EXHIBIT
Beautiful Gowns Rival Cars on
Show for Supremacy as
Attractions.
LATEST PARIS CREATIONS
FEATURE SOCIETY NIGHT"
Excellent Business Is Reported
by Those in Charge Of
Exhibits.

Inc latest fads and styles in femi-
nine apparel were most potently in
evidence in the rivalry of beauty
gowns and automobiles for eupre-
macy at the Newark automobile show
In the First Regiment Armory last
night. The acme of society of the
city and suburbs was in attendance
on what is said to have been one of
the best attended Society Nights" in
the history of the Newark exhibition
Thousands of beautifully gowned
women, opponents of the most mod
ern fashions. passed along the rows
or automobiles on exhibition during
the entire evening. The latest hats
from Paris and the Persian gown
were in evidence on all sides. The
colors of the rainbow were reflected
from these in the brilliantly lighted
nall, where slit skirts from the most
conservative and hardly noticeable to
the extreme were in vogue.
While the majority of the gowns
were four-trimmed on account of the
cold weather. there were many fair
Wearers who wore those cut in the
latest and most approved fashion,
where less clothes are the decree of
the standards of style. 1t was hard
to discern which attracted the most
attention last night the women or
the cars on exhibition. The automo-
bile agents, however, took advantage
of the presence of so many of the fair
sex and few cars were not occupied
by pretty faces set off by brilliant
gowns and sparkling headgear.
With their fair occupants the cars
last night were displayed at greater
advantage than at any other time
since the beginning of the show, and
the number of orders for cars in
creased.
An excellent program was carried
out by the Bostonia Women's Orches-
ira, under the leadership of Miss Belle
Y. Ranfew. Due to this factor Of the
evenings entertainment the balcony
was well patronized. The vocal and
soprano numbers of Miss Mae Sutton,
soprano, were well received.
Horace A. Bonnell was pleased with
the attendance of both the afternoon
and evening. He declared today that
In event of the good weather condi-
tons he saw no reason why the show
should not be as well attended for the
remainder of the week. The weather
was a potent factor in many visitors
coming to the show last night in their
machines.
Night" Many prominent business
men throughout the State were invit-
ed to attend and many are expected to
be present. The members of the New
York Motor Truck Club also have been
invited, as the local show Is especially
interesting because of the large num-
her of commercial behicles on exhibit
ton. New Workers are attracted to it
because there is no such exhibition in
New York this year.
