Two types OF sleeves are to be noted
in the frocks-that have anyone being

HOSIERY.

Her feet beneather her petticoat
Like little mice stole in and out"
So POLITICALLY did Sir John Sucking call
attention to the feet Of a fair young
bride, but in these days when women
don't wear petticoats-or very seldom
and when split skirts and dancing cos
| tunes display a great deal Of ankle,
milady's feet cannot be compared to
shy and scuttling little mice, for they
are very much in evidence. In natural
consequence hoisery and footgear are
of paramount Importance. and this season
is bringing to the fore such lovely shoes
and stockings that even the most demure
of maidens must sigh for split skirt to
display them.
The new silk stockings for dancing are
rarely lovely, some OF them are en-
broidered in gems and shimmering
sequins. while a novelty of the year are
the printed silk stockings. These come
in white or pale tints, and are printed
with colorful designs of peacock feathers
or the peacocks themselves. Others have
tiny punches of flowers or red cherries,
and one stunning pair to wear with either

YEILINGS.

After a season in which wells were but
seldom worn, Dame Fashion has de,
creed that they shall be much in vogue
and that milady must conceal her face
behind the most fascinating Of new
meshes. In plain white, and black an6
white, these new wells are particularly
popular, and while conservative women
will doubtless wear the wide plain mesh
enjoying a huge vogue in Paris. The
name explains how the mesh runs and
its novelty is its main charm.
Far prettier and more becoming are
the plain wells with borders OF tiny vel
vet dots, while the beauty OF patch ven
with its single star, butterfly or tiny
rose just below the eye, is in high favor
with smart women both here and ABROAD.
Fine hair lines are met at every turn
while wells with very deep borders that
begin just below the eyes are particularly
fashionable for wear with the toQues of
the autumn season.
Another popular novelty is the all
white veil with a design in black or a
black beauty spot, or perhaps a tiny
peacock in natural colors on one cheek
with lace wells and wells Of shaded chTr-
fon are shown for the motorist ana
those who wish TO protect their skin
rather than merely enhance its beauty
But whatever the type Of veil the fact
remains that milady must don one with
her new autumn hat. the fashion of
drawing the hair close at the sides of
the face being exaggerated by drawing
the veil in closly as well. except in the
case Of the bordered wells, which are al
lowed TO hang loosely below the chin.

way up the calf Of the leg. while those
embroidered TO simulate anklets are still
noted among the novelties Of the autumn.
The buckled shoes Of last sesSon are
giving place TO those fastening with a
small buckle at the side of the instep
or quite plain slippers with a long
tongue, to give a very long, slender ap-
pearance to the foot. This style is noted
among the satin slippers for evening.
though the colonial type Of footEear
continues more or less in favor for street
wear.
High tan button boots and patent
feathers with suede tops in light colors
are being shown In exclusive shops. while
white gaiters are much in vogue 20 wear
with the dark frock. white gloves and a
white hat. These CATERS, like the new
white belts, are Of washable suede, but
are only attractive on the woman with
very slender ankles since they tend to
exaggerate the size Of both foot and
ankle.

New Dancing Materials for EveE.
y inEu.

In both London and Paris the word
Evening gown has long since become
synonymous with Dance frock." and in
consequence the news of dainty gowns
for autumn from the great designers
concerns itself chiefly with the costumes
for the dinner dance.
The demand for these frocks has
brought to the fore some rarely lovely
materials that will be vogue during the
coming season. OF course, lace leads in
popularity since this will be essentially
a season Of filmy laces frosted with jew
eled embroideries. but there are also
lightweight taffetas as soft and supple
as satin in plain or figured effects, while
delicate brocaded silks, nets. and espe-
cially printed chiffons will have a big
vogue. t..
The newest of these materials have in
place of figure an irregular stripe that
gives an undulating movement when the
wearer dances that is decidedly bizarre
and very popular in Paris just at present
Small Egyptian designs in odd figures in
from three to five colors are also noted
on some Of the silks, and are intended for
use combined with plain fabrics since
they are too startling for an entire gown.
The vogue of the peacock feather is
also to be noted in some OF the new
chiffons and light silks, while thin crepes,
especially the silk crepes and some of
the new taffetas have designs whose COL
orings are taken from old Mexican pot
terry and copperware, and are exception
ally novel.
In the style Of the dance frocks evolved
from these beautiful materials the main
features are the long tunic, the quaint
capes, and the new round decolletage
which is less universally becoming than
The Washington herald., 1914-09-15

tunes have them appropriate. Don't wear
frocks so decolIete and so light that they
are suitable only for the opera or at an
afternoon the dansant, and don't wear a
frock with a long train TO dance in even
at a dinner dance.
Don't wear a huge hat to dance in
during the afternoon, for it will only
make both you and your partner uncom-
Portable, and don't wear elaborate hair
ornaments in the evening, for only a
simple coiffure retains its charm after an
evenings dancing, as every woman
knows-or ought to know. Have your
dancing frocks short enough so that
they don't have to be held up, for you
need both your hands to dance grace
fully, and don't forget that dancing is
an art as we'll as an amusement-and
that If you want to be an artistic picture
you must be appropriately as well as
prettily gowned.

The Governors Explanations.

Morehead gives out public explanations, pre-
sumably intended to disarm criticism which he
must feel his selections are inviting. Regard
less OF the merits OF the governors choice for
these appointive fayors it is interesting to note
his declaration in one case that Mr. Bryans en-
dorsement and request is the controlling factor
Unfortunately the governor does not go so far
as has been proposed by Mr. Bryan himself
namely that all endorsements and requests for
executive preferment be made matters OF public
record so that the people may know just what
wires we're pulled to produce the result The
complete list OF hackers urging the claims of Mr.
Bryan's pet applicant would at least satisfy curl

clating with in the recommendation, for as we
are all aware, no one has laid much stress
has Mr.. Bryan upon the wickedness OF good
people Joining with bad people In nominating
and eecting men to office. Now that the gov
ernor has taken the first step. we would like to
see him go the whole length and give out with
each appointment detailed schedule OF all the
influences brought to bear upon him or prompt
