BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.

~ CCILE firmly believes that the
III time has come in American fash
ions for women to wear long,
81 flowing lines of dignity and
abandon the half bodices. lack of
sleeves and short, transparent skirts
which have ruled US for three years.
She is definitely committed to this
idea. and is designing all her autumn
clothes in Paris and London to meet
the purpose.
Tho reason that her statement has
such force is that no one denies that
she revolutionized ballroom dressing as
the Vernon Castles revolutionized its
dancing and Irving Berlin revolution
lied its music.
The Castle Berlin-Lucile combination
has been. in Europe, the symbol of
America. But with Mrs. Castle not
dancing. and with Lucille stating her
far-reaching purpose to GUST frivolity
and bring in seriousness in clothes, 1rv-
( ing Berlin, with his ragtime music, Is
the only one left of the symbolic three.
If the women of America follow the
dignifed gowns of Lucille as they fol-
lowed her hoopskirts, girdle bodices.
bobbed hair and tango slippers we will
see a continent of women who look as
serious as the times.
The few models that have been ad-
vanced as forerunerS of what Is to come
this autumn have about them dignity
and seriousness that the men of the
community will applaud and indorse.
There is no undue showing of the
ankles and shoulder: the bodices are
suhdued in the decolletage; the long,
wing-like, medieval draperies cover
the arms and fall to the knees; the
clirging skirts start at a slightly high
waist line and fall against the figure
and cover the feet, in the manner of the
eighteenth century.
1t is not 4 gown for the type of youth
that we call fapper, or, as one OF the
editors of the day has termed 1t, poulet
a Ia ZieGfeld.
There is nothing startlingly new in the
gowns which will be worn during the
late summer and autumn, If the prophe-
cies of the experts come true. They
have been shown in America ever since
January. and in a certain blaze of orien-
tai splendor they have been worn by
smart women at ceremonial functions.
1t is not, however, the gorgeousness
peated in the newer style of dressing
for the second half of the year 1917.
Soft satins. brocades that have no
body, georgettes that look like net.
chiffon that resembles tu1le and the
crepeS of China that cling to the figure
are the fabrics that will go toward the
making of the dignified gown for the
serious epoch.
X
There are inky black gowns to be
worn, which are made of georgette that
has no sheen. These gowns resemble
the costume worn by Ethel Barrymore
in the tableau where she represents
Belgium, tableau which brings a sob
to every throat and tears even to the
eyes of the actress.
There are gowns of silver gray char
meuse that swirl and cling to the figure
from SHOULDER to floor. The folds of the
skirt are softly pushed aside by the
slippered foot the wearer moves.
About all of these gowns which are
to come, and which are beginning to
make their appearance among women
who dress well. there are no ostenta-
tious ornaments. no sensuous girdling
of the hips in the oriental manner, no
fain. reflection of the bazaars Of Delhi.

TELLS WHY TEAM
WAS TAKEN AWAY
Public Opinion Of Chambershure Re
fers TO Loss, of Base Ball Club.

The Public Opinion JOHANNESBURG
has this to say about the loss Of the
team, etc, in that town.
Franklin Repository is the only pa
per in the former circuit that questions
that Hagerstown got $500 for Howard
and Dysert. What object would the
association hare in padding the fig
ures, and would Chicago stand for any
fossy figures being made public. .TAe
Repository also reiterates that ali the
B. R. towns had it in for Chamber
burg an dtried to force US out, be
cause we are aginst Sunday ball.
Tried to force us out. Tush, tush
Rep We forced ourselves out when
We didn't post that $3.50 forfeit money
and also held out on the pool money.
Fhe biggest reason that Chambers
burg was not popular in the circuit
was the mean, little, narrow-minded
articles about the league that Repos-
itory printed. 1t always reminded me
OF some nervous child, forever claim
ing that somebody was picking on our
town"
The Public Opinion also has this to
say about Hagerstown signing Lee
Meyer to fill the gap at short.
An effort that will likely be sue
eeSslul, is being made by Cumberland

Town team. A claim to throw out the
games that Meyer has taken part in

WELSH AND LYONS
REPORT TO MORRIS
TWO New HurIers Came Here Last
Nloht--Alnkle and Orem Re-
leased.

Pitcher Welsh, who reported here
last Friday when he worked against
Jack Hurley's aggregation. returned
to this city last night and will remain
here the remainder of the season.
Welsh displayed as much stuff in the
game with Hagerstown as was ever
seen in this circuit, and it is the pre-
diction Of those who witnessed the
game and those who ave carefully
followed his record that he will make
one of the best hurlers in the league.
Pitcher Lyons who was with
Chambersburg the early part of the
season, reported here yesterday and
has been signed by the local club.
Lyons pitched well for the Champs
considering the kind of ball club
he had behind him. He was in the
Carolina Assoc ltion during the early
spring and won three out of five
games.
Orem and Hinkle have been handed
their releases and are free to sign
with any club. These hurlers are
Youngsters and will not have much
difficulty in landing a berth with an
other club in the league. Orem has
figured In ten games here and has
won six lost one, and was not Gre
dited with either victory or defeat in
the remainder. His principal trouble
was wildness as he was stingy with
base hits. The one game Orem drop
ped was won by Hanover by the
core OF / to o, in which only three
hits we're made off the local boy.
