Days-Saturday's Voting

The voting was unusually light sat
urday considering that the extra vote

and also considering that the cam

torcycle.
In order to have the voting as
secret as possible a sealed ballot box
Will be used the last four days. so
that candidates may deposit their SUB
scriptions directly In the ballot box.
This insures absolute secrecy. and
certainly no one will have any idea
as TO who the winners are until the
judges have completed their work. a
day or two after the campaign closes.
Though no one has and idea TO
whom the prizes will be awarded,
many are making guesses-some even
going so far as TO be quite sure. The
friends of about Is OF the candidates
are quite sure their fayorites will win
the first prize. II is too bad there

and interesting idea, but this is not
frequent enough to destroy the uni
formity of the whole collection. Any
reporter who has had to go the rounds
of the openings soon knows each Paris
gown by sight and name with the half
of the openings untouched.
Therefore, lacking novelty and being
consistently uniform. there seems no
here which will save all the houses
from sending over individual buyers.
The French are against this plan, nat
urally, because their receipts would be
divided by ten.
All these things are we'll known to
the commercialists as we'll as the fact
that the Paris openings this season
have precluded any especial attempt
for original invention. except among
few exclusive houses in America,
but the people who are not on the in
side of the situation still ask what will
be done in the way of clothes this
winter without the help Of France.
There is no special reason that the
American public should be interested
in new fashions at this moment, be-
cause there Is no need for them until
late in September. Every woman will
give the matter undivided attention as
in the shops and by pictorial repre-
sentation. but today she greets the
subject with idle interest unless there
is a startling piece of news to convey.
Even then she will have an individual
reason for being attentive. Something
in the statement will apply directly
to her needs, minister to her necessities,
contribute to. or detract from. the
economical management of her ward
robe. Such is human nature. We can

which does not Immediately touch us.
The exact problem that confronts
women at this moment Is what to do
with the clothes on hand that have
been worsted by the summers wear
and tear, so they will contribute, in
part. to the September wardrobe. There
are truly economical souls who realize
that the best way to get the value
out of any seasonable gown is to put
it on whenever there is the least ex-
cuse for It, The old method of saving
clothes for the occasion is not to be
adhered to in these days Of lightning
like change and the ability of the
masses to keep UP with that change.
ment shops have put the fashion of
the hour within the reach Of the aver
age purse. so that the woman who does

nonadherence to the general silhouette.
Therefore she asks herself and her
neighbors today what kind Of clothes
Paris or America will advocate later.
merely as a guide to her immediate
future. The new frocks will como into
her horizon later and she will decide
on her winter clothes when the first
frost falls.
The business Of alteration is serious:
there are women who delight in 1t and
would rather alter any frock than wear
it as It IL. This IL a madness at times
and one not to be recommended, for 1t
often allows careless choosing, which
is a weakness that always has un-
pleasant results.

CHANGING MODES.

1T has been the subject Of converse
ton among fashion designers for
the last two years as TO whether the
crinoline is again to come into vogue.
Heavy cord has already been used in
the bottom of foundation skirts. caus-
ing them to fare out in old fashioned
hoop effect. and now comes model
with heavy cord raised from the bot
tom OF the skirt and run through A
putting in the silk just at the line of
the hips. This frock was made in
black and white checked silk, with full
skirt trimmed with narrow plated ruff
fles at the bottom. With 1t is worn a
plain tight-htted bodice Of black faille,
buttoned down the front. with well
curved waist and with collar, turn
back cuffs and armholes trimmed with
frills of silver mesh net.
There Is a continued use Of the ruff
fie and ruche as a skirt trimming. A
new skirt has a trimming Of three
material run from the belt to the hem
across the back OF the skirt only, the
front being left plain and the fullness
laid in deep soft plaits at the line Of
the belt.
with the revival Of old-fashioned
to hip has come the use Of the bodice
girdle, a tight-fitted gfrdle made Of
the material in which the costume Is
developed and worn either with or
without a shoulder strap attachment.
It may have lacings in front or at one
side or at both sides.
Large droop-brim hats are trimmed
either with a plain band Of embroider-
ed ribbon or with satin ribbon knotted
back and front, the ends extended be-
yond the brim. A pure white hat
trimmed with a black tafreta ribbon
band brocaded in vivid art flowers is
strikingly attractive. Some large
brimmed sailor hats have the slashed
brim rolled back at one side, the edges
caught by a stiff bow or fan-shaped
walking hat the broad, high-crown, mar
row-brim sailor is smart, trimmed
with a buckle and fat loops of gros
grain ribbon or with fan-shaped os-
trich.
Some of the new fall coats button
single-breasted effect. and the long
coat dress-style garment buttons
straight down to the bottom Of the
hem. There are jackets closed IN a
bias line from the middle OF the col
lar to the hips. and there here are are &C coats oats
der to- the waist. or to the ankle:
There Ia not only a tendency toward
the bias line Of coat closings, but also
to a one-sided trimming OF coats. All
made with lower front edges pointed
or square cut.
The basques Of the Jackets may slope
slightly from front to back. from front
to sides, or from back toward the
away effect il avoided. The use Of
tab trimming at the edges of the
basque and jacket openings is seen.

have been chosen by a picked commit
tee, there seems to be no sound argu-
ment against 1t as the layman sees it.
The assumption on the part of the
general public is that each buyer slips
into a French dressmaking house and
has something made especially for him
or her: whereas nothing of the sort
happens.
The days and hours for seeing the
new fashions are restricted and the
buyers all come together. while each
new garment is paraded before their
assembled eyes and judgments. They
meet together at various places.
1t Is rare that any one has a novelty:
each house may differ in selections, but
one who goes carefully through New
York in the last of September, or a
bit later. will be sure to see almost

lMtl indifference of the public as to
Nj the French openings until 1t
- " is time for these clothes to ar
rive here was the expression one heard
on every side during this month that
there would be no Paris fashions this
summer on account of the war and the
consequent lack of ships and that the
American designers must trust to their
own ingenuity to provide styles for us.
In three weeks, when the new gowns
are arriving here. the interest will be
intense, because it is a fact before the
people and not a written report. Most
outsiders have taken it for granted
that Paris has closed the doors of her
dressmaking houses and will not open
them until peace has been signed and
the ships have resumed their regular
sailings.
No one in the business believes this.
and no one who has anything to do
with the buying of clothes from a com
merciaI standpoint denies the truth
that the continuation of designing
frocks and setting fashions by Paris
Is the only happy thing that comes out
OF Europe this year. 1t relieves COM
merce of much uneasiness. 1t brings
money to the counters of all shops. 1t
gives a breathing time to the exclusive
dressmakers here, and it booms the
business of all those who supply the
country with advance models.
Last season there was uncertainty.
No one knew what moment the bottom
would fall out of all things sartorfal.
At any hour the American dressmakers
might have been called on to supply
the winter fashions from their own
sewing rooms. and while they each and
all expressed their readiness and abil-
ity to do it, they were sincerely glad
that the occasion did not force them
to do it.
This season there was slight uncer-
tainty. although the usual large num-
her of buyers did not venture on the
trip. They argued, like the fashion
correspondents, that 1t was too difficult
to get things home. for even the mails
are not regular, and so the majority
of the houses not in New York, and
many there, decided to let the few
decide for the many.
This is what small group of buyers
have been trying to bring about for
the last two years. but 1t was not pos
sible to persuade the Majority to give
in to the minority. The trying situa-
tion evolved by the submarine dangers
seems to have furthered this notion, if
only temporarily.
