MISS LONGSTRETH
WEEDS ARMY OFFICER
Early Autumn Weddings Are
Made Picturesque by Khaki
Uniforms

Undoubtedly the war has changed many
wedding dates and brushed aside many
plans, but it has given an added charm
to the summer weddings. There is nothing
quite so picturesque as khaki, and when
II is seen in church with proud, smiling
bride on its arm 1t presents most at
tractlve appearance. There have been
great many of these military weddings
this summer, and one Of the most inter-
esting ones took place today when Miss

LATEST IN THE MODES
ATLITF FASHION SHOW
New Shades and Shapes, Colors
and Contours in Gowns
and Millinery

Autumn's colors augmented by new
shades contours and combinations, came
into their own today at the annual fall
opening of the millinery and women's ap.
parel sections at Lit Brothers.
Narrower skirts. slightly longer and
draped from the hips marked ten costumes,
which showed the sensible, large pockets
that women are approyriating. Prominent
among the shades of the dresses, which
range from evening gowns to workaday
suits, is the new Concord plum color. Other
favorites are beet root. taupe, chartreuse,
Java brown navy blue and black Mate
rails much used include velvets. satins,
velours de laine. silver cloth, burellas wor-
steds, OXfords, tricots, broadcloth and tat
feta.
simple smartness is predominant
among the hats. New color combinations
are cerise and green, sand and black gray
and blue black and gold. navy blue and
purple and sand and blue Predominant
colors are purple, navy blue, brown and
black. Novelties are soft hats, brilliant
bird hats, all.feather turbans. beaded brms
shrred crowns. Jets, jet and pin ornaments
and ostrich feather and hackle 'fancies"
The military influence is almost negligible
at the fall fashion show which will con-
tinuc tomorrow and Thursday. This is
probably due to the ever-increasng number
of soldiers uniforms, for which the fem
mime costumes must act as foils. There Is
no change in the general prices of the hats
and dresses.

out the great beauty and adding, mfr. -.
one of our elders lives there" And again,
Mr.. -. of our church, lives there" and
SO on. Finally they came to the Poor Farm,
and when the minister said. That Is our
Poor Farm" the bishop with twinkle In
his eyes said dryly. Il suppose all the Metho-

NF COURSE there We're some Philadei-
Sphlans there. and seldom have l seen
a cutter sight than the two small children
of Doctor Stout, who were dressed in
brilliant red riding coats and caps as
they rode their ponies about the oval,
which, by the way, is quite the smallest
have even seen.
Mrs. William Disston was the first
person cast my eyes upon on entering
the show grounds. She had one of the
end boxes and looked stunning in pearl.
gray frock, topped with a wide-brimmed
lacy black hat. Margaret Dunlap looked
very we'll in fawn-colored suit and high
crowned coffee-colored hat, the only trim
ming on which was wide band Of deep
red velvet. Miss Berwind was in the box
also, and looked very well in frock OF
gray voile and white.
OF course Cordelia Duke was every.
where on the stand and about the oval
She is not really pretty. as her features
are not perfect enough. In fact IL you
pull her apart, her nose is too large for
the rest of her; but, indeed, you don't
notice 1t, she is so cunning and attrac
tive, and the rather large nose really
gives more character to the face than a
smaller one would; so what will you?
IT'S funny thing how many persons

home that they would hesitate to do here

she is quite proper, and, probably for the
sake of example, has always refrained
from taking to these Things in public,
anyhow. Well, she sat there alone in
enc corner smoking airily until she was
joined by another Philadelphia girl whose
engagement was announced only last
week. She had her little sip too, but
when mamma joined them later and
walked them into the dnins; .oom they
were just chatting gayly, as if cocktails
and cigarettes had no part whatsoever
in their gay young lives.
LNROM the Golden West it came, the one.
l. piece bathing suit with tiny skirt
called an Annette" We were all very
startled, shocked and panied when first
I'VE gazed upon 1t, but gradually one by
one they began making their appearance
on the Jersey coast, so that now we look
see one pass. Then, too, there are the
other "Annettes," much resembling a
mans suit, but not so good looking.
However, it takes old Cape May to put
one over. doesn't it? A jolly party of
men and girls decided that after long
and rather hectic movie romance and
spin along the beach drive a dip in the
briny deep in the pale moonlight" would
not be SO very boring after all. SO they
dashed into their bathing suits, one and
all, or rather should say, all but one.
He, poor man, who had only just motored
over from Chelsea to spend an hour or
two, was without-without what, me lord?
Why, bathing suit, of course
Well, to continue our narration. There
was only one suit left in the cottage, and
so he donned it, nothing daunted. And
oh, girls, didn't he look too cute? It was
lovely black satin one, with full skirt
displaying Trench pockets. white pear
button trimmings and awfully smart pan
talettes. which fastened over the knee in
the most bewitching manner.
Not content with this manner of dis
playing his manly form he rummaged
! about through tho spare.room closet until
he found bathing cap, also of black
bound with white and decorated on one
| side with a metal buckle. He reall,
looked too ridiculous, for, to cap the
| climax as well as his head, he wore nat
urally well-trained and carefully nur
| tured blonde mustache.
Cape Mayites who were up late tina,
night are still laughing over it.
