And now we hear that the fashion
show is to be prime favorite for
cabaret performances this winter
We have grown weary of the
dancers wiles. The songs that
cabaret performers sing have a way
of growing exceedingly monotonous.
The fashion show strikes a new
note. 1t is beautiful and leisurely.
1t gives good opportunity for the
display of the charms of pretty girls,
of feminine grace and of exquisite
lise and color. And fashions never
fail to appeal to the feminine con-
tingency.
So high was the fever for fashion
shows this summer that at Newport
and other fashionable resorts they
were among the favorite form of en-
tertainment for garden party and
lawn fete. Not only did the pro-
fessional mannequin take part in the
show but, in many benefit of the
summer, society women added their
beauty to the gala performances
Now we hear they are doing the
same thing out in Detroit. Only
there is some hitch in the perform
ance there when it comes to the
bathing suit display. The debutantes,
it seems, have. volunteered eagerly
enough TO show the abbreviated gar
ments for the sake of sweet charity;
but older, staider members of De-
troit's Four Hundred are opposed.
We hake yet to learn whether the
debutantes or their mammas have
their way.

This realistic nomenclature applies
to many things besides colors in the
realm of fashions. The latest hat

kittens car cloth and puppy-skin silk

What do you think of the growing

The idea began in Paris in the
ateliers of the leading world. famous
dressmakers of the Rue de "a Paix,
who displayed their creations to
great advantage by having them
worn by beautiful mannequins. Then
the idea spread to this country. Not
content with small showings of
gowns, the large department shops
soon adopted the plan of giving pub
lie spring and autumn exhibitions of
gowns worn by models. The shows
were so good and appealed so
to the public that they were
soon taken up by the vaudeville
stage and later were developed so
as to take possession of the '1egiti-
mate" theater. The Whitney fash

weeks ago met with enormous sue

reels, was shown with success as 4

IS THIS GOING TOO FART.

1t iseail with the best of intentions,
and with the conviction, no doubt,
that they are paying the President
and his bride-to-be the highest sort
of flattery. that a good many mer-
chants and manufacturers have COM
mercerized the fine old family names
of Wilson, Gait and Boiling, to say
nothing of the personal names of
Woodrow and Edith. One manufac-
turer goes so far as to advertise a
"bride-elect dress" for afternoon
wear, which he urges retailers to Sc
cure in large quantities sin view of
the sentimental interest aroused by
the forthcoming nuptials.
These interesting gowns are ad-
vertised to be made in the appropri-
ate colors; Boiling green, Gait
brown, Edith rose, brides gray,
Woodrow delph-which we assume
to be near kin of the familiar
sDelft"-and Wilson tan.
No doubt this is good business
but isn't, it going little too far?
And speaking of colors, We are
surely in a stage of interesting real
ism when it comes to the names
given to them by the fabric manu-
facturers. There used to be Nile
green, sky blue, rose, lavender and
poppy. But now we have stock

One OF the features which occasioned
much comment at the time of the dedi-
cation OF the State reservation or park
in New Hampshire which is to be
maintained as a permanent memorial
of the birthplace and childhood of
Daniel Webster was a poem written by
Edna Dean Proctor and read to the
great company that assembled at the
dedication ceremonies by one OF the
officers of the association
The setting apart by the State Of
New Hampshire OF the birthplace and
childhood home of Daniel Webster as
q memorial reservation was chiefly due
to the efforts of William E. Chandler.
who at one time was Secretary OF the
Navy in the Cabinet of President
Arthur. and who served for two terms
in the United States Senate as one
Of the members from New Hampshire.
Not only did former Senator Chan
dler serve his State well when he per-
suaded New Hampshire to set apart the
Webster homestead. but he also de-
serves the recognition he received for
the admirable dedication exercises

cation ceremonies.

According to information received from Candle. no trace of the body of the late missing miner, Alex Sicotte, has thus far been found The lantern carried by the missing man was found however, a half mile below the road house, which fact seems to confirm the view that he became confused in the terrible blizzard and instead of pro- ceeding up river to his cabin, as was his expressed intention, instead went down stream It is also believed that Sicotte started up river against the storm but found it impossible to face the gale and attempted to return to the roadhouse to remain for the night but lost his bearings in the snow and darkness and so missed it.
