GR|D|RON TEAMS EVENLY MATCHED
 FOR BATTLES TODAY
Yale Meets Lehigh; Harvard Plays the Carlisle Indians. Victory Expected for
 All Eastern Teams

New York, October S.-All over the country tomorrow football teams of the principal colleges and universities will line up against elevens of various de- grees of strength. In the east the fea- ture games include those between liar yard and the Carlisle Indians, Prince ton and Syracuse, Yale and Lehigh, Penn State and Pennsylvania, Cornell and Williams, Navy and Pittsburg and Army and Gettysburg.
 In former years the meeting of the Indian and Harvard elevens was one of the star attractions of the gridiron season. but it is not likely the Abori- gineg can. give the Crimson anything like the battle which featured this an- nuai game a few years ago.
 Syracuse gave Princeton a great fight last autumn, but there is little ground for the opinion that the game tomor- row will be a repetition of that match.
 Lehigh goes to New Haven for the struggle against Yale. Unless the Ellis show a better brand of football than that displayed week ago. it may be that Lehigh will duplicate the vic- torious play of Virginia.
 The defeat of Williams by Union last Saturday would appear to indicate that the strong Cornell eleven should not have great difficulty in holding the Williams town brigade in check. The university or PennSNlNanla team will meet the Penn State team, and the result should he a close and interest," ing game.
 The United States Naval academy team faces d powerful combination in the University of Pittsburg, and at West Point the military academy eleven will have Gettysburg as an op- ponent.
 Principal games to be played in the north tomorrow are: Carlisle at Har- ward, Syracuse at Princeton, Lehigh at Yale. Williams at Cornell Penn State at Pennsylvania, Pittsburg at Navy. Gettysburg at Army, Brown at Am herst, Tufts at Dartmouth, Springfield at Holy Cross, Rensselaer, at Rutgers, Colgate at Rochester, Lafayette at Washington and Jefferson, Swarth- more at Bucknell.

Boston, October S.-Business almost paused here today while thousands of persons followed the progress of the opening worlds series game at Phil sdelphia. The Red SoX defeat was received calmly, the crowds having lost much of their enthusiasm as opportu- nifty after oportunity for a Boston score passed without profit. Only in the eighth inning, when the Red Sox run was made, did the throngs applaud for more than moment.
 Arrangements for play by play re- ports were the most elaborate ever made here. At Braves field at Fen way park and at four auditoriums sev- eral thousand persons paid admission fees to follow details of the play. countless other thousands blocked the streets in front of newspa per offices.

A really beautiful frock that is to

charming in all its lines, so daintily
girlish in all its delicacy that it seems
to make an especially good model

plain straight one in shell pink crepe
meteore and on it are arranged two
gathered frills of silk net of the same
shade, with full tunic above that

this edge and the edges of the frills
are bound with strips of the silk. The
bodice is prettily made with the round
line that is always charming for the
young neck, plain and Of the silk with
the picot edge. But the sleeves are
formed by drapery of the net, and
this drapery is drawn up closely over
the shoulder to form a pretty little
rosette-like finish, while it extends
sufficiently under the arms to allow
the wearing of a fitted under-bodice
that greatly enhances its charm. The
girdle is very wide one starting lust
at the hip line and terminating at the
bust-line, and is made of the silk and
it is held at the back with little crystal
bead ornaments that take the place

1T is surprising how completely the
f1aring tunic holds its place. Un-
doubtedly the full skirts are making
their way, but the tunics are eminently
graceful and becoming, really adj
'n;rable in line and in effect and con-
tinue to be worn by the most fashion
able women. These two costumes
have been designed for young girls and
they are excellent for the late season
and for between-season wear. Coats
are short and designed after the most
approved fashion, and the tunics over
the narrow skirts are so becoming
that we will see them for long time
to come. Incidentally, these costumes
are real boons to the home dressmaker
for neither one of them requires any
special skill. The blouse coat shown
on the left is one that is no more
trouble to make than blouse for it

be used or silk and wool eponge or
indeed any suiting material. Most
girls will have the skirt made of
lining material and faced only with
the velvet, both for reasons of economy
and to reduce the weight, consequently
not much velvet will be required. The
second costume is made from one of
the fashionable rough cloths with just
a little velvet on the collar. The belt
can be arranged over the fronts or
under them, but it is utilized at the
back to regulate the fullness which is
laid in one plat at each side. The

pretty for immediate wear made Of

IN THE REALM OF FASHION

This season we shall wear dinner
gowns that combine long sleeves with
open necks. The little sleeveless over
bodice makes a most attractive gar
niture and shows the very newest
and prettiest lines. The full tunic is
straight at its lower edge; conse-
quently it could be made of founcing
and if it is draped little and held
by bunch of artificial flowers a pretty
effect is obtained and one so essentially
4, different from the straight banded
tunic as hardly to suggest the same
model. When the tunic hangs straight
and free, it is desirable that it should
be weighted in some way to accentuate
the flare but, when it is draped, it
may fall in soft folds.
\ FTERNooN costumes never
n were prettier than they are
this winter. Skirts have de-
veloped into very graceful and attract
i've creations Just wide enough for
combined comfort and smartness and
the new materials are wonderfully
beautiful. The basque idea has de-
veloped in many ways and the blouse
or bodice that is finished over in place
of under the skirt has become the ac-
copied one. Also there is general
tendency toward a higher neck finish.
The basque can be made of charmeuse
satin with velvet, but troadcloth has
come into it's own this season and is
always beautiful in contrast either
with silk or with velvet. Poplin also
is pretty in contrast with velvet. and
crepes retain all their favor.
Whether the sleeves shall match it
or the vest is entirely a matter for
the individual to decide.

1T is not often that the late season
is as interesting as happens this
year. As rule, the gowns Of the
winter are slightly passe, and we are
undecided as to the new designs, but
whatever the cause, some exceedingly
handsome models have appeared
during the last month and the fact is
to be met with enthusiasm. Women
who aim at distinctive dress will be
able to realize their ambition with
ease. for really it may be said that SO

LATEST FASHION NOTES
from the FASHION CENTRES

CINCE Christmastide belongs by
natural right to the younger
contingent, frocks for the girls
and costumes for the boys are of
especial interest, and happily there
are many ideally adapted to their
needs The general trend is towards
delightfully."- youthful effect and most
fascinating dancing frocks are shown
for the girls of all ages from the nur-
sery to the college. In general way.
it may be said that Empire effects are
conspicuous, but we are seeing many
curious combinations and many re-
suits that carnot properly be called
by any name. Wide full skirts are
gaining in favor and it is not uncom-
mon to see skirt of generous width
edged with cord to accentuate its
width, yet joined to an extremely
short bodice and finished above the
waist in Empire style. Again basques
are conspicuous and tiny little basques
that are intended for evening wear are
used both over skirts that are cut at
the high waist line, although we know
that basques and the Empire period
are far removed, and in that day Of
real grace and real art in dress, skirts
were narrow and clinging. They did
rot flare and they were not stiffened
in any way whatsoever. To be sure,
we are not bound to copy, we are
free to take from this period and
from that, and often it is the combi-
nation Of two different periods that
produces what is known as originality,
hut it is hardly reasonable to dub a
costume Empire the skirt of which
is made to flare as freely as may be

Materials as we'll as designs are
