ONCE September is the month of month of trousscau and trous- scau always afford interesting op- portunity for the consideration of the latest fashions and fancics. While there is nothing distinctly new to re- cord there arc interesting variations and there are adaptations of material that are suggestive and in every way worthy ot consideration. To the casual observer, the conditions that lie back of even the simplest things may not be apparent, but those of us who must study the fashions from every point of view arc kccnlv aware that designers are putting forth great efforts and that an immense amount ct ln- ecnnity is being used to cover the shortage of dyes ana tho shortage of trimmings that are inevitable under existing conditions.
 Hand cmbroidcrics and fancy stitchcry of all sorts have been ex- tcnsvcly employed throughout the season. As new and attractive T finish for tailored 5uit as has appeared is machine stitching utilized in various ways. Anexeecdingly handsome going away suit for a bride of the week is made of Fall weight wool gabardinc in a becoming shade of blue. The coat and skirt both arc finished with ma chine stitching over stamped design such as would be used fer soutachc braid. An exceedingly smart linen costume, again in blue with rcvcrs of white, is trimmed with straight rows of machine stitching arranged in groups. There are three oi these groups on the skirt set q little more than their own width apart. 1here arc three rows at the upper and three at the lower edge of each cuff and the collar of white linen is edged with three rows of the stitching, set closer together. Until one has seen such costume and realized its effect, it is difficult to In some cases, the machine used for the purpose shows tiny little chain stitch on the right side but more often it is the plain lock stitch that is cm- ploved and it is the color contrast and the line of the stitching that makes the effect Machine hemstitehing has been so cNtenSlNety employed as to d. most create distaste The simpler form of stitchery is being greatly used and while it docs not seem to serve quite the same purpose, will to some extent ,supplant the more open stitchery and is certainly exceedingly handsome and exceedingly effective when well handled. The first o,appcar was seen fully eighteen months ago on French costume of dark blue stitched with rcd Since that time the idea has been applied in numberless ways and with such good result that it seems likely to take a definite place. It is used upon silk, it is used upon linen and it is used upon wool, while it also is used upon the thinner and lighter materials.

IMMENSE ENEMY FLEET ARRIVES
 OFF |. s. COAST
Naval Maneuvers Consti- tute Greatest War Game
 Ever Undertaken.

Washington, Aug. 22.-A "Red' voying 30 transports laden with an miles of the Atlantic coast at 6 o'clock this morning and the greatest war game ever undertaken by the navy department began.
 Within an hour the 12 battleships of the "Blue" defending fleet were speeding to sea behind far-flung line of destroyers and scouts intent upon locating and destroying the en- emy before he approached the shore.
 Admiral Mayo commands the "Red" fleet of the 15 battleships, six swift destroyers, representing the scouting line, and six other navy craft, representing the fleet of transports and other ships.
 Rear Admiral Helm has IF de- stroyers and seven light cruisers as his scouting screen and close to shore are Is submarines as last line of naval defense.
 Rear Admiral Knight, president of the navy war college, aboard the su- perdreadnought Pennsylvania, will umpire the game. in which " fight ing craft are engaged. The reserve battleships forming the "Blue" fleet main line are manned by naval mili- tiamen and civilian sailors.
 Continues to September l.
 Admiral Mayo has until September 1 to evade the "Blue" fleet and ef- feet a landing at any point between Cape Hatteras and Eastport, Me.
 The sphere of action extends 600
 For the purposes of the game the navy department was placed on a war footing this morning. Officers were assigned to each bureau to stand watch night and day. Watch will be also maintained at all Atlantic coast navy yards and at the navy's com stations.
 In the office of Rear Admiral Ben- son, chief of operations, great chart of the war game was set up, and as reports came from Rear Admiral Helm or from any other sources show ing the position of the ships naviga- tors laid off the positions. Any in- formation as to the whereabouts of the invading fleet, which may come from commercial vessels to any point along. the shore, will be promptly for warded to Rear Admiral Helm. A strict censorship will be exercised over reports from the defending fleet, however, as Admiral Mayo has been to ask passing ships for newspapers or any other information they have as to the disposition of the defending forces.

Flashes of Coming Fashions

are extensively used both for trimming and for srdle5.
 For the all around useful coat that can be worn for motoring, for travelling or for whenever occasion requires and without which no rousseau is com p}ctc, mohair in it's various forms is a favortc material. 4 handsome one ia of darl, blue alpaca, the only hnish being machine stitching arranged in rows and with tclt, collar and cuffs of suede leather. We are to see q great deal of alpaca used both for coats of this sort and for those designed for hard usIla1r. Alraca has become a handsome material when it is chosen of good quality and of suitable color. \ very lovely travelling coat is of the material in a tan color and is held at the waist line with a single button. It is. finished with machine stitching used with great reserve and is almost severely plain in finish.
 Tussah IS liked for coats, too, andis admirable for many uses. White tussah lined with color is pretty for the rousseau coat to be worn in the afternoon or upon the piazza or for similar occasions, and the colored tussahs are to be found in such infinite variety that they can be put to almost every possible use. Wool jersey is another material that is being shown in coats and the coat of jersey that Is trimmed with taffeta makes an ex- oecdingIy handsome garment as we'll as a practical one. Beige colored jersey cloth with a very wide band at the lower edge and cape collar of black taffeta is q smart combination and one that bears the approval of the best designers that Paris can afford.
 Travelling costumes of wool jersey cloth are made in Russian blouse style also, and very smart ones are made with the genuine Russian blouses buttoncd well up to the left shoulder and finished with q straight collar and with full skirts, the trimming being taifcta applied as bands while there is usually belt of leather or one of tho trimming material. The jersey cloth is light of weight, it is satisfactory to wear and is so essentially practical that it is constantly being put o new

Ppr0priate Costumes for tEe V0c0tiOr
A UCUST % often IS d va - cniNrn .oNIl

A O0 Oo l 70 A often is a va a
 cation month that a great many women stand in need of new costumes at this season of the year. The sug- gestions that are
 made in the drawing will perhaps be help- ful. There are two attractive afternoon gowns winch are quite different in style and there are excellent suggestions for the ever useful blouse and separate skirt. The pretty little dress of dotted voile that is shown away over at the left makes Q good ex- ample of the lingerie costumes at their best. Really the blouse is a plain one but the trimming of rumes elaborate it. The skirt consists of three hounces and little rufles are ar- ranged over the founces to provide a additi n al flare. The second gown IS
 more severe in its lines but it still gives the breadth and full- ness that are es- sentially fashionable. The skirt is double, there being a plain skirt beneath the tunic which is open at the front The blouse with its cape and Aaring collar is absolutely new and of especial interest.

about exceedingly novel and really fascinating effects. A charming street gown, is for example, of white broad- cloth It consists of q simple blouse and skirt which is gathered at tn" upper edge and the lower edge Of the skirt is finished with over and over stitChcry in light blue silk approximate. lv one inch in width. There are tabs or panels of white silk embroidered with blue, arranged over the blouse and skirt in q most effective way, There is double collar, the upper one of blue batstc, the under one of white broadcIoth edged with frill of the net that is embroidered with blue. The quaint and attractive sleeves are in bell shape. the under sleeves of the white net embroidered with blue The entire trimming is accomplished with the needle and wonderfully beautiful and attractive it Is. Since only the simplest forms of nccdlcworR arc used and the stitches are all of the familiar sort, the idea is one that would be turned to practical account.
 Unusual combinations of materials are apparent, too, in the trousscau of the month and afternoon gowns ot silk and of GcOrecttc crepe arc made fascinainglv novel by trimmings of one sort or another A dainty one is of white silk combined with silk net. The full gathered skirt is of white silk and there arc two deep flounecs of net arranged over 1t. Each of these hounccs is attached with a ruffing of the material and is open at the front where the ends appear to be held by tied bows of velvet ribbon. The blouse which extends below the waist line to form a pcplum is of the plain material shrrcd to form it's own girdlc. The elbow sleeves are finished with deep nounccs and putfs of the net while the wide collar shows two pufis of the net and little velvet bows in front to match those on the skirt. It is | marvelously dainty costume and an exceedingly chic costume, yet t is as simple as 1t can be- A very dainty gown of Georgctte crepe is shown with little black glass beads and black shadow wcmbroidcryu used sparingly yupon the blouse. Novel GeorGctte crepe costumes arc trimmed with velvet ribbon and wherever one turns there isevidcncc of combining apparently in- coneruous things is made manifest in extremely attractive ways. Chiffon and silk are combined to make wonder ful costumes and colorcd chiffon shares the honors with white. An exceed ingly dainty costume is made of the material in pale pink and the skirt istrimmcd t with inscts of white tatteta showing printed designs of tiny rose buds Each of these mcdalllons is framed with little nuting of white lace. There is sleeveless jacket of tafTeta that accompanies the gown and the sleeveless bodice of silk can be worn with dresses of organdie, of net, of hatiste and of all such fragile ma terials. Chiffon and velvet make favorite combination for Fall afternoon dresses, and ribbon, both silk and velvet
