Tips About the Newest Ways
Of Making Such Robes.

The day when homemade night.
gown necessarily indicated weeks of
hand embroidery or else few hours
stitching OH stiff, thick muslin has
gone by. And now we can make u
nightgown in Il few hours, with only
a saving touch of hand work, and yet
produce something that is charmingly
dainty.
Sheer materials Of course, which
are always used nowadays for night
gowns. have much to do with this
change The fact, too, that night
gown patterns now almost invariably
show short sleeves and open necks
also has much to do with their dainti
ness.
The nightgown with an empire
waist line Is favorlte just now, and
Is deservedly so, for the long, full
lines Of the skirt are most becoming
Some sort Of wide collar, too, is al.
ways becoming, but it wrinkles very
easily In nightgown. Reyeres at the
front are shown In some Of the newer
patterns, and those give softness and
fulness and are not so easily wrinkled
as collar. Much variety can be Civ
en- by the use Of sashed and puffSl
sleeves, and the use Of cuffs Of various
sorts is also worth trying.
Batiste is very good material for
nightgowns. especially in colOrs. The
pale pink and blue shades Of this ma.
terial which can be had for about 20
cents yard, are especially attractive
Nainsook in soft quality is also a
good material Figured dimlty, too,
can be used, and this season much
figured cotton Grape OF soft quality
and dainty design has been used for
pretty and durable nightgowns.
The use Of much entire deux in the
seams of fine nightgowns is dainty
touch, and especially in the night
gown which shows much hand work
Is this method Of finishing seams advis-
able.
Hand embroidery can also be set
into a nightgown with entire deux. In
this way Gne hand embroidered yokes
and panels can be used.
The rolled hem that is so much seen
nowadays-in handkcrchiefs and fine
blouses-can be utilized in the night
gown. The hem is finely rolled and is
then whipped with thread Of color
first in one direction and then in the
other, forming a sort of cross stitch
finish.
A pretty finish for a white night
gown is a binding of colOred bias folds
Of muslin This folded bias finish can
be bought both in plain colors and in
stripes and plaids. Sleeves and neck
can both be bound in this way and
band Of the colored fold can be placed
at the line of an empire waist line, tC
have ribbon run under 1t.
In the same manner chiffon or geor
gette Grape underwear can be finished
with ribbon used as binding.

expression. Because of the brevity
of these pioneer productions, only
one set was used for each picture,
and the whole development of the
story crowded there on. ii was the
same as with the one-act sketch that
may be witnessed on any vaudeville
stage.
"The Soldiers Courtship" was
filmed about twenty years ago, and
since then has developed the whole
sweep of the art up to the high pin
nacle of Birth OF a Nation" Of an
Intolerance, Carmen" or a
Faust" Even as early as 1897 or
1898 there were indicated greater
development yet to come. Richard
G. Holman, already mentioned in
connection with the Eden Musee,"

sidering the time and the develop
ment of the industry up to that date,
II was, in daring and undertaking,
far exceeding the much-heralded mill
lion-dollar productions Of today. The
$4,000 said to have been spent In
prellminaries was fabulous sum to
the motion picture trade in the '90s.
However, the venture easily justified
itself both artistically and financial
ly. The picture took New York by
storm and remained for a continuous
run of six months. This set a record
that was to stand through all the
years of uncertainty and reallgnment
until D. w. Griffith invaded New
York with his epoch-making CLANS

1t would he interesting to know
the names of the actors that starred
in the worlds first great motion pic

of contract with the daily wage of

I suppose would make a sorry COM
parison as spectacle with Annette
Kellermann's "A Daughter of the
Gods or Inces Civilization. For,
rating them all on their Importance
in aud to their age, this same The
Soldiers Courtship," shipped down
to forty feet, and the Passion
Play" produced in three reels and
shown in New York for half a year
on one stretch, will have to stand as
two of the worlds greatest photo

other dramatic qualities, as contrast
ed to the soulless films, which were
mere incidents of everyday life, hav-
ing nothing of story intent and de-
pending entirely on the novelty Of
motion in photography for their
drawing power.
English authorities would give
credit for tho very first photo drama
to Robert Paul, who from the days
of his kaleidoscope enterprise, set
forth in earlier chapters, had devel-
oped into a motion picture magnate
of large influence. The picture was
forty-foot comedy, titled "The Sol
dier's Courtship," and produced, for
the sake of lighting advantages, on
the roof of the Alhahbra theatre,
London. The scenery was "toted"
up from the theatres property room
below, and a few actors and actress
es, of so small consequence that their
regulations could not be very much
placed in jeopardy, were pressed into
service. Although English films have
never been greatly in vogue In Amer
lea, Pauls initial comedy is said to
have been an uproarious success both
here and abroad.
In any event, 1t encouraged him to
build a studio and stage, intended
exclusively for the production of mo-
tion picture dramas, The stage was
of about the size, proportions and
general appearance of the average
theatrical stage. A platform, sup
ported on rollers and a track, but left
for most of the time stationary faced
it. Here the camera was set up and
operated. The drama, as yet but a
twentieth part os long as the short
one-reeler of today, was enacted on
the stage, just as 1t would have been
done in ehtheatre. The whole was
photographed in what is now tech
nically known as full Set" and at
such distance away that only the
more pronounced action was definite
ly registered. There was no record
on the film Of the more subtle facial

Fall styles For Children.

The question of fashion in garments
for the tots is largely one of becom-

of apparel planned for the small citi'

Some of the smart little simple dres5'
es for children shown this fall are
plated from shoulder to, hem: some
are in Russian blouse effect with plait-
ed skirts. Suspended dresses with
washable waists and little frocks
equipped with washable guimpes are
also in favor.
Tub fabrics are unquestionably first
