colored cloth to match the dress and
the front Of the shoes of black patent
leather. A cunning little round hat Of
sand-colored velvet trimmed with a
narrow band of beaver fur was worn
with this suit which all in all was
most complete from the soft crown of
the hat to the sand-colored heels of
the shoes
Velvet was in evidence in black and
midnight blue. This fabric has been
most fashionable all fall and winter,
for both evening and afternoon
dresses, and is much less trying in the
deep blue which is so new, than in the
black. The soft quality of the velvet,
which is termed chiffon velvet, is
much more adaptable to draping than
the velvets of old.
The black velvet hat has ben ex-
tremely smart since last summer
when New York startled even itself
by wearing velvet toques in broiling
weather. The black, however, is Civ
ing way to the dark blue velvet. The
hats are made in just the same way
and trimmed in the same manner. The
sailor shape is the most popular, and
the ostrich fringe is taking the place
of the fringe IKE trimmings Of mon
key fur which was the rage in the
fall.
The Belgian soldiers cap has been
used as the basis for charming little
toque worn by charmingly dressed
young woman at the Horse Show. 1t
was rather round in shape and flat
tened over one side Of the head, run
ming to a point at the crown. A long
straight quill ran straight up the
back. 1t suits the fashionable Golf
fure very well indeed.
1t is only once in while in the his
tory of dress that it is as becoming
to the young girl as at the present
time. The tight skirt slashed to give
room for walking had no place in the
young girls wardrobe. In fact, she
looked very much out Of place in it.
But the full skirts of the winters
mode, with or without the long tunic,
are extremely appropriate to the slim
ness of youth. So is the long Russian
coat belted at I, 2 h,,s and the blouses
which are an offss4 ting Of the Balkan
MILDLY, the jumper and the basque.
The large fiat hat is infinitely more
becoming to the girlish face than the
small severe ones which have been
the rage and still are to q great ex-
tent.

A Princess Dress with Fullnesi
Shirred from Bust to Hips.

Some Of the serge frocks for wear
at school are especially good for the
little girl under twelve. They are often
made with waist and skirt in one and
INDEBTED. The waist is cut away be-
meath the arms, and the front and
back is cut in U-shape. The edges of
this frock are bound with wide black
silk braid, and a cunning little shirt
of linen is worn beneath the dress in
place Of the conventional guimpe. The
sleeves of this shirt are long, finish
ing with turned back cuffs which fas-
ten with cuff links. A collar is made
10 turn over also and is fniahes with
the inks.

rolling collar is decidedly suitable for

ever been.

A Dress in Semi-Princess Effect Of
Sand Colored BrcadcIoth.
The suits which were the most
prominent were those made with a
coat having long and ripping tunic.
These were usually worn with the full
er skirts which rippled out beneath
them. On all were deep oands Of
something, fur usually, and braid
sometimes, to border the bottom Of
the tunic and skirt. This fur was
often skunk, sometimes fitch, kolin-
sky or sable, but the most popular was
beaver.
A sand-colored broadcloth suit,
made with coat close fitting at the
shoulders and faring out at the knees,
had skirt with 3 band Of beaver
around it at least fifteen inches wide
and possibly as wide as eighteen
inches.
The fuller skirts were in evidence,
showing that there is no doubt about
the revival Of the straight full skirts
Of crinoline days, and among the
coats was one which reminded me of
the old-fashioned dolmans.
A semi-ftted effect is to be seen in
dresses that is distinct reminder of
the princess dress. The illustration
developed in sand-colored broadcloth,
although far from being princess,
shows combined yoke and girdle
which fits around the waist and hips
in princess manner. The dress is
made without trimming, the only vari-
alton in its simplicity being the chif-
fon sleeves, and the faring collar of
chiffon. The skirt flares out in the
accepted fashion at the ankles, show
ing the breadth skirts are taking.
Cloth-covered buttons trim the yoke
under the arms
The second illustration shows
dress made on lines more similar to
the princess. The dress is made of
blue charmeuse, with skirt and waist
in one. At the waistline it is shirred
into the outline Of the figure. A sash
Serial is brought around the front of
the waist and tied at low waist line
and serves to break the princess eff
feet. Buttons covered with the same
material as the sash fasten the dres
down the front
Sand color was the shade of many
Of the most stylish suits. One suit of
sand color had jacket that was rath-
er e'ose lifting, quite tailored in it's eff
the skirt was mediumly full, cut
cl-cule and without any trimming. 1t

$40 PER BARREL
FOR BREAD FLOUR.
Possible That Housewives viii Be
Paying That in Short Time.

WHEELING, Jan. ga sharp
advance in the price OF wheat and
-four yesterday will cause the retail
price in the Wheeling district again
to advance and the majority Of the
merchants will be compelled to ask
an increase if they expect to break
even.
The retail price yesterday in the
local district was about $1.10 per
sack or $3.50 per barrel for spring
flour. Some stores asked more, while
there were few that asked less.
Local merchants were paying as
high as $8.25 wholesale for flour yes
tsrdav ani the rssular winter wheat
Il was retailing at about $500 FER
sack.
The large increase in export trade
and speculation is responsible, say
the Wheeling merchants, for the
sharp increase. 1t is thought there
will be no decrease in .n4 price for
some time.
AS result Of the increase the
bakers will be competed ither to
ask an increased price per loaf, or
will be required to reduce the size of
he loaf. To date they nave not re-
dlced Ire 5ize of the loaf, nor have
5hey increased the price.

GUNNERS CAN ROAM FIELDS
TOMORROW AND THEREAFTER
AutomobiIiStS Report rabbits and
auntl 'lentifui-LnNt Spring WAS
Dandy breeding Season.

From the way things look IL wouldn't
be stretching the truth far to state
that the hunting season in VIRGINIA
will open tomorrow with a bang In
fact. there will be enough bangs TO
make the natives think that a sec
t!on of the European war has been
transplanted over here.
Beginning tomorrow il will hc law
full TO shoot quail. turkeys. phc1sants
or grouse, ducks. geese. hrant and
rabbits. squirrels have been in sea-
son for some time, as have deer Both
are fairly plentiful. and it is predicted
that the season just opening viii he
one of the best in recent years.
Several large parties of local hunt
crs will leave to-day and early to-
morrow morning for their favorite re-
sorts. Preparations have been made
for many weeks for some OF these trips
and a number of prominent gunners
plan to stay for the entire week. The
ncighboring counties will get the ma
jority of them, although several Of
the parties VIII make more rretentious
trips To other parts OF the state.
Automobiles report many rabbits
and quail. The country seems to
abound in the cottontailS, while many
coveys Of birds have been flushed by
the autos. The spring was an un-
usually good breeding period, and this
bears out The assertions of the auto
lists, although il is one thing TO see
several coveys of birds in a few min
utes In a machine and find the same
number If walking around in the fields,
The deer season is said To be par
ticularly satisfactory, and some fine
specimens have been laid low. The
squirrel. too, are seen in larger
numbers this year than in many past.
While the hunting season officially
and legally opens tomorrow morning
In all sections Of the state. the gun
ming Is subject to local regulations. ana
the boards Of supervisors Of the va
rious counties are authorized to close
or shorten the seasons o! various
things. If. in their judgment, ii will
hest conserv. the game. This is gen
orally done in the ncighborinG coun-
ties. hut not until after the hunters
have had several weeks in the field
While most of the hunting will be
done I'm the fields some will take place
right here in Richmond. The season,
while opening for wild life is also
open for dogs. and many hunters spend
considerable time i'm hunting for their
animals. as good dog is ut Il premium
and 1t dop't hurt the conscience Of
sportsman to nan n stray one when he
