TAKE MILITARY CENSUS
TAKER FOR GERMAN SPY

Considerable excitement was created
on Allison Hill last evening when a
man of soldierly appearance started
a house to house inquiry as to the
number of men of military age in
each. Many thought it was a Ger
man spy after information. The
trouble was finally settled when Motor
cycle Officer Schelhas arrested the
man, took him before Charles Pass
who identified him as N. F. Swords, of
$40 South Fifteenth street. Swords
had been deputized by Edward S. Nc
Farland. assessor of the Second ward
to help him take the militia census
for him.

is a little opening at the front which
allows drawing the dress on over the

but, at the same time, the suit can be
treated in many different ways. 1t
could be made Of velvet throughout
for a more dressy costume, or it could
be made of gabardine or %broadcloth
or of something sturdier and more
useful where in demand it would be
pretty made Of Scotch frieze or Of
cheviot. The fur trimming is exceed
ingly handsome but it is not obligatory,
for bound edges are to be used, braid
trimmings are in vogue, and stitched
undertakings are always correct. If
liked, neck and sleeves could be edged
with fur while the lower and front
edges could be bound with braid.

IF straws show which way the wind
blows, rumor and reports from
the openings which are being held
across the sea are surely indicative
OF what we may expect with the coming
of another season and there is much Of
interest to be cleaned just now. While
there is ample time for change of mind
on the part of the designers and for
variations without number, it seems
fairly we'll established that we shall
see a great many coats made with
high necks and choker collars and that
the tendency in daytime gowns is much
in the same direction. Notwithstand-
ing some difficulties that must exist,
fur is to make an important feature
of cold-weather fashions and a lavish
amount of fur is to be used. We shall
have fur collars and fur cuffs and we
shall have fur trimmings. Velvet and
the new ~velveteen which is exceedingly
pliable and beautiful is expected to
have great vogue, and fur is particu-
larly beautiful in contrast. Many Of
the mixed cloths show extre nelly inter-
esting color effects. Stripes of sub
dued, rich and exceedingly beautiful
color are conspicuous in the simpler
fabrics such as frieze and cheviot, and
clever designers are selecting trim
mings that make an exceedingly rich
effect in combination Herewith. 1t
seems evident that the general trend
of the season will be toward a quiet
tom in the costume with bits of really
brilliant color found as relief.
A simple suit seen today is, for ex-
ample, made of striped frieze in which
brown predominates. 1t is trimmed
with brown velvet and tiny pipings OF
real orange, which are exceedingly
beautiful. A second stripe which
shows dull shades of brown, green and
red, is trimmed with black braid and
green velvet collar and cuffs, while it
also shows ball buttons, the lower
portions of which are made from the
cloth with the upper parts Of green
velvet. In various ways color effects
Of the sort are to be found and when
the designer has the color scheme the
effect always is good. The danger is
found in the tendency to grasp the
idea without the taste to discriminate
and in the crude effects that are apt to
result. If we could be sure that all the
costumes would be as successful as the
two mentioned we might welcome the
fashion without reserve, but is probable
that we shall. see a great many garish
contrasts and not a few that really
hurt the trained eye. @
Black and white effects hold their
place. They are always beautiful,
they always near a certain elegance.
and consequently they always are
welcome. An exceedingly beautiful
costume which seems especially
adapted to the mature woman, is of
black b]roadcloth trimmed with white
and with black braid. The skirt is a
most unusual one with shaped straps
passing over the hips to inclose a
panel at the front and a box-plait at
the back with plated models at the
sides. All the seams are piped with
very narrow black silk braid which
accentuates the long lines. The edges
are finished with a wide fancy black
braid. The coat shows all the seams
piped with the braid and also the fancy
braid used most effectively 1t is ar

FASHION NOTES
from the FASHION CENTRES

ranged over a vest of white broadcloth
and this vest is finished all around it's
edges with black and white braid,
showing little insets Of blue. Below
the waist and on each side Of the vest
is embroidered a butterfly in black
and white with threads of blue in the
wings. The sleeves are b~ell-shaped
but in sections with the seams piped,
and the collar and cuffs are of black
velvet edged with the fancy black and
white braid used on the vest edges,
showing touches of blue, and embroid-
cred with smaller butterflies to match
upon the vest. The lining Of the Goa
is white brocade, and incidentally it
may be mentioned that Innings are
important. Usually they match the
trimming and often, the brightest bit
Of the trimming, and a bright lining
in a dark suit always gives a good
effect. Every one Of the coats men
toned is finished with a choKer collar.
A three-piece costume Of .taupe
broadcloth is made with most unusual
skirt showing applied box-plaits which
are a little shorter than the skirt and
shaped at their lower edges to reveal
a facing of satin. The bodice is Of
taupe chiffon over old blue chiffon. and
it is trimmed with straps Of the cloth
that are embroidered in taupe and old
blue. The coat has plaits at the sides
which give flare and also harmonic
with the skirt, and is finished With high
collar and sleeve-bands Of beaver fur.

Embroidery makes an important
feature of both the gowns and the
suits. 1t might almost be said that
every costume shows one touch in
needlework or another. The raised or
satin stitch is largely employed but
there are also many simpler sorts.
Darning with colored threads and
metal threads is put to effective use.
COUGHING with heavy wooden threads
or worsteds is being employed with ex-
simpler costumes of the sort. Bead
e~mbroideries are largely used upon
dinner and evening costumes. The
shocking that has made such a fea-
ture Of the late summer is being utilized
in numberless ways on the autumn cos
tunes and every kind Of fancy
stitchery and Of needlework is fash
ionable. We have indeed the needle
woman S opportunity, for while this
handwork is costly if skilled labor is
employed, it is not more difficult than
much that is executed by the home
woman every day in the year. 1t only
requires the skill applied to garments
that has been used for fancy work, t.
achieve the desired results. A college
girls. street gown of fine French ser
in a dark blue shows COUGHING Of gray
worsted on the wide belt and cd ,es 81

with course button-holing worked With

is a new one with oddly-shaped yoke
and the collar can be buttoned up

and generally becoming. Here, it is
made Of crepe de chine and the plated
skirt is made of the serge that is per-

The skirt is straight and in this

the yoke is not liked the plaits al be

PRETTY and PRACTICAL DESIGNS for the COMING FALL SEASON.

~ iris will wear a great many one
= piece dresses, both for school and
for home wear. This one is
adapted to both uses. 1t is a smart
and at the same time a simple one
and is easily within the powers Of the

shorter, for the pattern is perforated
for the two lengths. 1t is a very smart
o and a very simple and easy one
to make. 1t is single-breasted and
the fronts are faced and rolled back
with the collar to form the revers.
The skirt is seven-gored and flares
abundantly at the lower edge, while
it is perfectly plain at the waist-line.
In the picture, the material is Scotch
frieze in one of the new mixtures
showing shades of tan and brown with
threads of red, and the trimming is
brown fur, but the suit can be copied
in a variety of materials. Broadcloth,
gabardine and serge can be used as
we'll as frieze. In place of the fur for
trimming, the collar, revers and cuffs
can be made of a contrasting material
and velvet is liked for this purpose,
while fur cloths are extensively used.
For the medium size the coat will
require 6N yards Of material II inches

the body portion is perfectly plain,
and that combination is a new one.
As it is shown here, the coat is made
Of broadcloth with trimming of velvet
and fur, but it can be copied in gabar-
dine or serge, in corduroy or velvet,
silk poplin, or, indeed, any material
adapted to girls coats. The belt that
is passed through openings made for

the plaits and makes an exceedingly
pretty finish.

THE coat of velvet worn over a
skirt of different material is
always handsome. This season
it is to be extensively worn and the
costume shown here is admirably
adapted to small women as we'll as to
young girls; The coat is a very at
tractive and at the same time a very
simple one, for it is perfectly loose,
being held at the waist-line by means
Of the belt. The skirt is straight and
plated and can be made plain or with
a yake and ~suspenders. 1t would be
hardNo find anything prettier or more
fashionable than the velvet with plaid,
