IN SUMMER STYLES
CITY SHOPS HAVE BEGUN TO
PROVIDE FOR CUSTOMERS.
Adaptations OF French Models Are to
Be Seen on All sides-PrevaIenc
Of Satin 10 Viewed With
Some Significance.

The difference between q slim ant

those on slender incomes to keep apace
with changing fashions that the shops
offer, in large quantities., low-priced
copies of high-priced models.
This work or reproduction has al
ready begun in the large shops of
New York. The buyers have been
returning from Paris with stocks of
French ideas, to help women change
their clothes for the summer.
In addition TO this, the towns are
flooded with cheap copies and adap-
tations of the French models that
came over here in the spring. Some
of the adaptations are admirable and
suit the masses far better than the
frocks which we're made in Paris and
which were intended as suggestions to
buyers rather than offerings to in
divldual women.
We are now able to select in the
thin fabrics, suitable for summer, q
vast variety of gowns and suits that
originally appeared in dark and thicker
materials.
As an example of this, there is the
immense output of satin clothes since
the middle of May. This altogether
delightful fabric was not especially
featured in the February and March
models, but the French mills have
turned out great quantities of it in the
early spring, for Paris has been send

Satisfaction comes from
the fact that satin is cool, easily
pressed and serves several purposes.
The significance lies in the fact that

gests that our new clothes may have
fullness, but not extension.
Strange to say, taffeta has given
way to satin for day usage, but it
holds its own for the evening. Women
who dress well are buying morning
frocks of dark-blue and stone-gray
charmeuse.
These are made with the simplicity
that now characteriZes the best of
French gowns for French women, and
they present most alluring contrast
to the overturned and o4erlooped

Won't Penetrate Beyong Carpathians.
Fighting in Volhynia and Galicia
is going on with varying fortunes.
The Russians succeeded in embarrass-
ing the Austrian army front. but any
belief that the Russians are likely to
be able to turn the tables on the Teu-
tons and penetrate far beyond the
Carpathians Is sheer nonsense. 1t
must not be overlooked that the Rus

the Austrians, The Russian gains
here are purely of local significance
and without any bearing on the mill
tary situation at large.
The Austro-Italian front is holding,
the Austrians building their lines
firmly and not intending to attempt
any important offensive. The feeling
here and in Vienna as regards that
front IL void of airy uneasiness. The
outstanding feature OF the military
situation today for Germany lies in
the circumstance that on the western
front the crisis has passed without
the allies having been able 10 force

TOWARD DEPARTMENT

Due TO the changed attitude and
his assurance that he will strictly OBJ
serve the quarantine orders issued by
the Health Department. DR.. Levy has
taken under consideration police
measure against Theodore Shafer. OF
1910 McDonough Street, South Rich
mond.
Yesterday morning DR.. Levy called
at the mans house, and was told by
the police guarding the Shafer home
that no effort had been made to break
the quarantine. The health officer
held conversation with Shafer. who
appeared to realize the mistake he
had made, and expressed himself as
being sorry that he had assumed his
unreasonable attitude. DR.. Levy found
that the child. while able to be about,
was peeling a great deal from the
results of scarlet fever, and It was a
serious thing 10 have her mingle with
