the fall festival 2 bigger success
and the mistakes made in staging
the Spring show will be eliminated.
While the primary idea OF the
Fall Style Show is TO display To the
best advantage the wares that the
Evansville merchants have for the
coming season. IL Is also the inten-
tion of the business men OF that
city TO show TO the cities " south
ern Indiana, western Kentucky and
southern Illinois that they have
every reason to believe that bust
ness Is going to be on a solid basis
this coming year. Nothing will go
farther TO create a feeling OF Sc
curtty than for the business men OF
. sfty TO come out and spend money
to interest friends and patrons
Attractive four-colored posters,
the main color carrying out the
Show Association, hare been dis
trtbuted throughout the district.
These posters are different in de-
sign from any ever used as an ad-
verttstng medium By the association
and ara N the kind that add TO the
appearance OF q shop window.

a dearth IN fashion hints from gay
Pareo and that American women
might be forced to wear gowns de-
signed on q Made In America"

In advance OF the fan fashions IL
is safe TO say that Paris must have
played an important part in de-
signing many OF the fall costumes.
Mflitarism shows IN many OF the
tailored suits, the cfoaks. coats and
hats. One gets q hint OF the Cos
sack. the Uhlan and the Lancer in =
looking over the array OF bright
colored fabrics that go to make up
miladys costume for 1914.
As the Style Show Association
has decided 10 award prizes this
year TO the best trimmed window In
each line Of merchandise, instead Of
classifying by size. some excellent
effects win Be brought out. There
viii bs q natural rivalry among the
various stores in each line 10 make
the best showing and the women
who have been selected TO award

and carefully to decide which
