LATEST FADS AND
FANCIES OF FASHION

All white costumes are conspicuous
wherever the really fashionable folk
are found Very attractive ones are
made with white linen skirts and
coats of white glove silk, white hosiery
as matter of course, white shoes with
lust a touch of black and hats of white
Bankok straw in mushroom style,
turned up at the back. Felt hats are
seen and the white felt is pretty, but
it is apt to be heating and when the
days are very warm, the light weight
straws are given the preference.
With silk and satin used for morning
wear. and with upholstery materials
generously exploited for skirts, coats
and for various garments of the sort,
the opening season may we'll loom
up with something of mystery. The
unexpected occurs so often that we
naturally are consumed with curiosity
as to what the next turn may be. As
suredly we will have great many
combinations of materials. We may
look for cloth with silk for street wear
and for linen with silk for indoor occa-
sions and we will also see two kinds
of silk, as for example. faille and tat
feta, crepe and the like, put together
in various new and interesting ways.

0LA1D gingham is one of the best
liked and one Of the prettiest
materials for the simple morning

nLA1D gingham is one of the best
liked and one of the prettiest
materials for the simple morning
gown. 1t is to be had in most attract
i've colorings, it is durable, it washes
perfectly and when it is trimmed with
plain color as in this instance, it makes
an exceedingly smart effect. The
gown is an admirable one and is made
with a three-piece skirt and loose
blouse that are joined and closed at
the front. The trimming portions
shown here give touch Of individu-
atty and are in every way desirable,
but nevertheless, they are quite sepa-
rate and can be omitted if perfectly
plain dress is wanted. The tucks over
the shoulders provide both becoming
and comfortable fulness. The sleeves
may be made in three-quarter or In
full length and altogether, It would be
difficult to find better model for
simple, everyday needs. House wives
will like it made Just as it Is here,
while the college girls will find that
4',ere are many possibilities to be
.ound in the model. 1t could be
copied in linen for the early season, or,
in serge or gabardine to be used
throughout the season and just such
a simple gown as this one is adapted
to general, everyday use. Plaid
serge is among the new materials and
that would be pretty with trimming
Of satin or Of taffeta as may be and
plain colored gabardine would be
charming treated in the same way.
Cashmere is to be much used this
season and cashmere always makes a
handsome effect, while it is thoroughly
durable and essentially practical and
that material in any one of the fash
ionable colors, with trimming of char
meuse satin, would make a most
attractive gown for college use or any
similar need.
For the medium size will be needed
yds. of material Fl in. wide, an
yds. SO or AZ with yd. Fl in. wide for
the trimming. The skirt is 2 yds. and

In the picture, crepe velours is COM
bined with lustrous satin. The effect
is exceedingly beautiful and the gown
dressy enough for any daytime func-
ton. 1t could of course be copied
in simpler materials to give simpler
effect. Wool wolfe which is to tie much
worn would be pretty made just as
shown here combined with the satin,
or, later, tatfeta could be combined
with satin or with soft finished velvet.
The sleeves and the vest are sewed to
the bodice and can be either OF the
same or OF contrasting material. A
different effect can be obtained by
making the sleeves, bodice and the
skirt all of one material with the
chemisette only of different one, as
hazel brown taffeta with ivory satin
for the chemisette, or, for the simpler
frock, wool wolfe or etamine in dark
blue with sulphur colored satin for
the chemisette, for sulphur color with
blue makes one of the newest and
smartest combinations.

The neck edge is finished with band

and adjusted over it, consequently, if

ME dancing frock is sure to be
one Of the needfuls of the
autumn season. This model
Is very charming, essentially girl-like
and simple, really perfect for college
and school functions. The skirt is in
three flounces arranged over plain
foundation. The bodice shows the
pretty Tapped or surplice effect that
is pronounced favorite of the season.
Here the dress is made Of white tatfeta
with white net and with white chiffon
roses for trimming, the only bit Of
color being found in the sash, but Of
course it could be copied in any pre-
ferred color and with the edges Of the
founces cut in points and bound in
places OF being trimmed.

favorite one for the small boy.
1t is becoming, boy-like and
seems to combine all the necessary
qualifications. This model is one of
the prettiest. 1t can be made just as

blo,,se turned back to form rever.
For very dressy occasions, the suit
If Ill white linen with the rever and

Delightful weather and excellent tennis marked the opening of the Bir- mingham district tennis tournament at the Country club yesterday afternoon. The single matches were hOtIy con- tested and some scintiIIating playing the doubles. The results of the singles follow,

HIo say the least the present road
 trip of the Barons has been un-
 fortunate thus far. We have been ingloriously bumped on five diff ferent and separate occasions, and but twice have we managed to ease across a victory-and these over the lowly Travellers of Little Rock. In Memphis we were walloped, and as to our re- ception yesterday in Nashville the only adequate statement that can cover the slaughter is that the enemy used gas" It was inhuman to maui Bertie Grimes and Karle Black in that fashion. All the international laws of baseball and the declaration of Gin cinnati was violated. Therefore the Barons appeal to the sympathy of the local fans. Instead of sewing socks for the Belgians let us pray for time ly base hits for the Barons.
 Te chase away the hoodoo the Bar onial lineup was changed yesterday The Vols enjoyed the change-in fact, everything the Barons did during the game pleased the Volunteers as evil denced by the score.
 At Commodore Orcutts matinee in the Greenwood Cave it took exactly 45 minutes to complete the horrible de- tails of the first inning yesterday aft ernoon In the first half of the opener the large crowd of ardent followers of the Barons were jubilant-especially when Jeems Magee doubled with the sacks all dressed up. That bingle scored all the runs the Barons made during the fracas.
 In the Vols half of the first stanza the fans were driven into despair by the ineffectiveness of Bertie Grimes and Lefty Black. When the session was over it was discovered that the Vols had registered six runs It was awful!
 Let us hope that Clyde Mcbride will soon be on the job. The absence of the veteran is sorely felt.

 lawn McGraw and his Giants managed to win a game yesterdays This is such a rare event this sea son that it merts special mem! tion.
 Some baseball bugs in a recent discussion came forth with the statement that the Federal league, Was responsible for taking the ball players "out of bondage" Wen. the players may be "out of bond age' or "out on jamboree.a which is more than likely-but it is certain that the Federal league owners wish that they were out of bondage" themselves. The de- luded millionaire owners of the outlaws are out on a limb-aisd they know 1t.
 All the lame ducks of the major. leagues who jumped to the '1unch-s room circuit'' had the precaution to voluntarily go into "bondagep{ by signing iron-clad, long time contracts calling for rich perqui-l sites. These documents also placed the owner in bondage" as it was unbreakable without the consent of both parties. Now the howl comes from the Fed magnates about the ingratitude of the play- CTS who ignore all discipline and rlay indifferent ball. The fans are wise to this state of affairs and do not patronize the Federal league games. Despite the heavy backing of the Reds it is only . question of time when the outlaw organization will go to the wall. The Feds have never been recog- rized and its claims of being a ma GOT league are met with derision by the we'll known writers of base tall-of course, excluding the 30 or 40 official scorers" under sal ary. The Federal league has mud died the baseball situation and the sooner the outlaws quit the ber- ter. At any rate, when next sea- son rolls around with its necessary curtailment of all the high salaries the players not "out of bondage" can thank the Federa1s for the de- creased stipend. Out of bandage" is really Imaginable when it is gen. orally recognized that the entrance Of the F'ederals has practically wrecked baseball as a paying prop osition for the next five years.
 And of the troublous times in professional baseball who gains? Icl it the player, the owners or the fans? Neither of these. It is am ateur baseball-and, in fact, all amateur sports. The public is wear- jed of the continual cry for money or lack of it in sports and arc rapidly turning to where the youths play and with their whole beart in the game-the amateurs.
