PLAZA THEATRE

With the Violin Beauties, a quintet of charming young women who are gifted musicians in the headline posi- ton on the bill there is little wonder that the Plaza. is packing the house to capacity. then turning the stragglers away.
 The Violin Beauties are beauties in every sense of the word. Pretty of face and graceful of form with un- common gifts in the handling of vio- Iins. they render a repertoire of classical and popular hits while danc- ing to their own accompaniment. The gowns they display would make the creative minds of the modistes spin with jealousy for they are of extra ordinarily beautiful design and texture and the variety is large.
 You imagine, perhaps, that you have seen all you can see of the pres ent day dance creations, but, wait un- til you see Fred and Adele Astaire go through singing and dancing ac that includes all new songs and smart, novel dances with plenty of emphasis on the dancing for this young pair are over the boards of a local playhouse in many, a moon.

 Gold & Lawrence, two youngsters in knobby attire have a way all their own for singing, popular song hits and the audiences appreciate them.

SOUTHPORT RESIDENT
 HOME FROM EUROPE
Miss Dora Buckley Accounts
 Experiences Abroad.

Miss Dora Buckley of Southport re- turned last Thursday from abroad where she underwent 8 number of try ing experiences, such as, at Berne, where her party had to change trains, walking between lines of soldiers with pointed bayonets. When the war first broke out, Miss BuckIey's party were at Lucerne. They started immediate ly for the French border line, but were forced to turn back at Neuchatel. They returned to Geneva where they spent three weeks. Money was very scarce among the Americans and they spent the greater part of each day in trying to get their checks converted into gold. They finally secured passage on a. ship sailing from Genoa The Italians did not want the vessel to leave the courI- try and there were many anxious mo ments for the passengers who had booked passage on it but it finally sailed, bringing to American shores a boat load of people who were indeed glad to get home.s e

LAST PERMANENT
 PAVEMENT TO BE LAID BEFORE SNOW


 The last permanent paving to be done in Bridgeport before winter sets in will be the stretch of Knowlton street from William street to East Washing ton avenue for which the Burns com pany has the contract. Betweens s. 900 and 4,O00 square yards of stone blocks are to be laid there. The contraetors are ready to begin work but have been delayed because the property owners there have not com pleted resetting curbs and gutters and making necessary sewer, water and gas connections. Work of paving Elm street from Broad street to Harri- son street is nearly completed. The Burns company has finished laying granite blocks on the north side of Crescent avenue from the Congress street bridge to Noble avenue. The work is now being done on the south side. The street has been widened on the south side making a wider and better approach to Congress street bridge. City Auditor Keating who is secretary of the Paving and Sewer Commission, is preparing a, report Of the work done during the rast sum mer.

FADs AND FASHIONS

4|yOA ASSSS are 10 De used.
 Headed shell pins for the hair are
 All the new suits have longer coats. popular. Darker shades are noticed in the fall millinery.
 Brown velvet is as smart as black for street capes. N
 The small hat is worn with the basque costume.
 Coat shapes range from the short to the redingote.
 The new tnnics are not more than three yards wide
 The Oriental note in dress has all most disappeared.
 Occasionally we see a hat with the mushroom ibrirn. The silk jacket and short loose coat is in good fashion.
 Frocks of net arranged in pIeats or ruffles are favorites
 The old-fashioned sheniIIe ernbroi- dery has come back
 Both light and dark-toned fitch furs will be fashionable
 The Japanese neck and the stand away collars are still good
 The feather-trimmed hat is the fashionable hat this season.
 A new idea is the combination of black satin and plaid serge.
 Brone slippers are used as much as black for afternoon wear Many of the new suits are trimmed with bands Of velvet.
 All the fashionable dressmakers are using the lower waist line.
 Street costumes of plaid are recefv- ing 8 good deal of attention. The most favored lace will be the net-top lace with hand-run design. :
 zibeline is to be the extremely smart material for coats this winter. All frocks for Nday wear seem to have adopted the 1ong-s1eeve fashion.
 The little hats, to be worn correct ly, should droop low over one eye
 The taffeta basque is worn with a tunic skirt of very fiIrny, cobwebby lace.
 The correct. morning or afternoon blouse Sat present is of striped ma terial.
 The soft taffeta frock. is holding an 1 important place among early models.
 Raincoats asun1e the goedet flare. they have pretty and somewhat use less pockets. Walking shoes are made with cloth or bucksl1in tops in pale shades of gray or tan.
 Some of the new fur coats are long waisted, being mode on the lines of the basque dress.
 The most fashionable colors of this seasons dress goods are reflected in the new ribbons. Very beautiful is the white satin gown trimmed with a. combination of black and white lace. Black and white combinations and soft rich co1ors will be in favor for afternoon costumes.
 Small neckewar of marten and lynx also ermtne and white coney, will be much in demand.
 The smartest afternoon frocks will be acom bination of velvet and tulIe trimmed with fur.
 With the coming of @the heavier materials for colder weather, the plain basque will have it's day.
 The basque is not so suitable for evening gowns. Its simple lines are better for smart street dresses.
 Black patent leather pumps, trim med with white kill, are very fashion able for afternoon wear.
 The cameo brooch has returned. The new handbag is a combination of leather and Roman striped silk
 One must now have several different skirts for one basque, instead of sew cra1 different blouses for one skirt.
 A pretty new fashion is that of the court panel" of velvet worn with the, afternoon or evening frock of different material.
