only through hearsay that taneta Il not
patent word for candy. and Is abso-
lutely without information as to whether
women will wear dresses trimmed with
fur this winter or win stick to the old
fashioned crepe de chine outing suits.
This Is the best q man can do:
Two Attractive Hats.
As one-or two. or eighteen. for that
matter-enters the ballroom at Rausch-
er's. one Is hit forcibly in both eyes with
fashion. The exhibit Of 8. Kann, Sons
and Company Is right there looking at
them. In this display. to use the words
OF the manager. are embraced suits,
dresses. millinery-and ordinary hats,
too, for those who can't AFFORD the other
kind-waists, furs. yelling. neckwear
! and shoes. II was said there that ev-l
erything will be military this year. I'M
defetence to the present unpleassntnessI
on the other side.
Two hats which attracted attention at
Rann's section were the gold and fur
% and the Bendall (2. The gold and
fur Is what its name implies; gold lace
with a band of fur. The Bendall Is
a black band and is ornamented in the
east and southwest as the wearer faces
north. which gives a balancing effect.
An air Of mystery to the right OF this
exhibit Is found to permeate through
and around the Wells-Gossard array Of
corsets. of which man can say little
but that Miss f. B. Wells, 1112 G street
northwest. owns the store and Is agent
for the corset; that the corsets look fine
from a distance and were usually In a
state of being admired. and that Mime. |
Rose Ulman, late OF Paris. Is model for
them.
Reporters Are Safe.
In the big ballroom. to which one turns !
next II one hasn't had an attack of heart |
disease, one sees first the Palais Royal
display of Melba toilet preparations. |
They smell good. and II the young |
woman In charge will say she uses them |
and means II. they must be good. They |
are In violet-colored bottles and jars. !
Some one said some Of them were called |
Love Me preparations. but this Is be-
lieved to be an attempt to lead re-
porter astray.

has a gown on exhibitions gaZe-com- |
polling DOWNRIGHT next door to the
MeIba young woman at the Palais Royal
table. Then, as one-still one-goes along. /
one runs right smack against the man
embroidering. He wasn't there yesterday |
afternoon-Mr. Columbus said he was
knitting red lngerie-what Is the mascu-
line name for it?-for Bulgarian soldiers
But he was there last night, and he was
said to be a middle-aged gentleman with
bristly gray mustache and nerce'
well-what-a bout-it air.
The Embroidery Shop. 81 Eleventh
street northwest. has its exhibit draped
about the middle-aged gentleman. It en-
Joyed the presence OF many.
Nine. Eugene. 7o4 Eleventh street
northwest. has her exhibit of corsets.
appropriately enough. right next door
These corsets are visible to the naked
male eye, and present rose-patterned and
tapestry effects.
Nine. johnson, of 1884 Fourteenth
street northwest. has the next exhibit
Here are a profusion Of gowns. Notes
garnered by the male reporter from
those in charge Of II say disconnectedly
that in it are a draped. black velvet,
beaver collar and cuffs dress and an
embroidered dress, OF gold and bronze
with a touch of orange. /
Mrs Robert Lansing. wife Of the Sec
rotary OF State. and Mrs Gregory. wife I
OF the Attorney General. visited the 1
show late in the afternoon. and each
bought a gown at the Johnson arcade.
Miss Margaret E. Scheetze. Of the I
Renois Building, is just to the left OF
in finishing natures work. She makes
her beauty cream herself. she confided. l.
II was learned. also. that beauty prepa-
rations are cooked, and are not served
raw. Miss Sheetze off1ciates at thrCc -
bowls of cream-white. pink and a sort
of pinky whitehall look good to eat.
They also smell good. remove wrinkles
and add to the joy OF living. The only
thing they won't do Is to stop falling
hair. or stop hair from falling: and Miss !
Scheetze does this with violet rays.
Right next door to Miss Scheetze. Nine.
Sammis, Ills First street northwest. has
exhibited a pink gown. almost certainly !
meant for indoor wear and calculated
to make husbands decide not to go to
the club this evening. Maria. 1t is ex-
hibited by another one OF them models.
Galotta Brothers, IFS Fourteenth
street, adjoin with a display OF model
coat forms. about which II is useless
to say anything more than that they
look as II they could do their duty.
That Gypsy Toe.
Berberich's has the south end Of the
ballroom. They have a whole raft of
ravishing shoes and a display OF hose.
A great part OF the afternoon was spent
at this end in a game OF hide-and-seek
between visitors and demonstrators, the
demonstrators trying with disheartening
success TO surround their hosiery model,
who had several different kinds to show
and didn't have any time to be going out
every few minutes to change them-or so
Il was said. In this collection Of shoes
a rare collection-are all OF the new ef-
fects. One model Is right from the
modeler and has a gypsy toe. The gypsy
toe on this particular model is a strip
OF black patent leather which forms a
narrow toe and thence travels rapidly
upward to the top. The shoe itself is Of
white kid. It was fetching: IL fetched a
lot of people who decided to have the
first pair. A bronze model. too, was
popular, as was another gypsy model
with the same patent leather front ele-
walton.
The Palais Royal exhibit goes away
above the head of any man. 1t contains
maze Of things and Is calculated to
keep any one who knows anything about
such things right there until the noon
whistle blows. Its central gown Is
Georgette crepe, according to the notes
taken Of II. II is white, with pun
sleeves, rhinestone buckles at the Shout
ders. a two-tunic effect. and puffs and
Swiss net. It has black strips at the
top-it IL an evening gown and shout
der cannot be said OF it-and well might
cause a savings bank to lock Its doors
until an injunction could be obtained
