It is too serious season for hivolity
to be the only element Of fashions.
The young girls must have their
pleasures. their dances and the like

and there are occasions that require
formal dress of rich and beautiful

for street wear you can carry out thu
idea in quieter color Il you like. For
the simpler hats. every Kind Of simple

HERE ID nothing that occurs to
one as of more especial interest
just now in the development Of
fashions than the way in which velvet
10 used. We have known for a long
etime that there was shortage both
Of wool. and Of cotton and that we
must fall back upon silk but, never
the less, it comes with little of
surprise to see the light weight or
chiffon velvets made into a great
variety of costumes as is shown.
It Is always beautiful material, and
it seems especially well adapted to
the present styles, for it drapes ex-
quisitely, yet it is exceedingly hand
some plain. 1t calls for little trim
ming, and the dinner and afternoon
gowns that are especially interesting
1t the moment, seem to have been
evolved with all these things in mind,
for they are almost devoid Of trim
ming, but they are draped and treated
in a way to bring out the material at
it, best. Dark, conservative colors
are the preferred ones for dresses Of
this sort and one sees collar Of soft
oyster grey on grape gown or a
collar Of white flet on gown of dark
blue. and bits Of contrasting material
used in just such ways to give relief.
but little or no applied trimming.
The hustle effect is found in many
& these dresses, but it is a modified
hustle and means pretty and graceful
display while the straight silhouette
= still favorite, and the simple one
piece gown that is held by a belt re-
tainskll its favor. One sees it treated
IN most attractive ways, sometimes
sleeveless and made of velvet with a
guimpe Of satin, sometimes with just
little embroidery finishing its edges,
but never elaborated in way to inter-
fere with the simplicity which is its
inherent charm.
Velvet is made into suits, too. and
some very charming effects are OBJ
tanned by the gowns with matching
coats that combine velvet with thinner
material A black velvet suit, for ex-
ample. which, besides emphasizing the
vogue Of that material, also illustrates
the Chinese influence, is made with
q simple, straight skirt in two pieces
with black silk braid applied over the
seams. This skirt is joined to plain
bodice Of Chinese blue satin which is
bound with black braid, and the belt
consists OF a strip of Chinese en-
broidery rich with color. The coat is
the loose, belted one with which we
ere ell familiar and the cuffs and belt
repeat the Chinese embroidery of the
belt on the gown. There is just a
simple. high standing collar of seal.

TEUTON CRISIS.
Germany Talks Decentralization a;

London, Sept. Germany is be-
ginning to talk characterization now
as the first step toward peace. Der
lin news via Holland announces that
at the session of the reichstag con-
vening September 26, the same coall-
ton of the centrists and social DEM
ocrats which precipitated the German
cabinet crisis in July, would again
seek surrender by the kaiser and his
ministers of certain Of their prero-
gatives. Emphasis was laid on this
"revolt" as part of a well defined
yielding to peace. London could sec
little in the Berlin reports provoca-
tive Of hope for real German reform.

last July which displaced Won Beth

Junker Michaelis. The rcvolters are
those who apparently: were content
to rest after few additional and
empty promises of reform from TIE
new chancellor. London has always
suspected that Matthias Erzbcrgar,
