In the newly organized silverware
department Of the Pennsylvania mu-
scum ut Philadelphia there has been
placed a loan exhibition of anc. Int
timepieces collected by Meyer Fleisher,
who has spent forty years in gathering
watches which tell Theological story.
The oldest of this collection was made
in the fifteenth century.

time" said Mr.. Fleisher, twas the sun
dial; then the candle. followed by the
water clock. These led up to the me-
chanical cOntrivances with weights and
springs. Matchmaking Is a refinement
Of clockmaking, which was taken
from the Chinese. The early watches
were made of bronze, and were either
circular or striking watches. At first
they really were portable clocks. 1t Is

CAY TOCCERY AT
DANCES IN PARIS
Wealth Of Beautiful Color Is Ex-
pressed in Clothes Of the
Richly Attired Women.
JABOT DRESSES IN EVIDENCE
Outfit 10 Striking for Afternoon Wear;
Almost Gaudy Silks Combined In
Wonderful Way With
Other Material.

The popularity of the dnnsant and
the revival of the tango in Paris have
had a remarkable influence on dress,
writes a French fashion correspond
ent. The smart places where people
gather for afternoon dancing have be-
come centers of fashion. There are
those who do not go to dance but
simply to study the clothes, not only
for the styles themselves, but for the
wealth of beautiful color that Is ex-
pressed in many of them, for this
dancing craze has been the means of
introducing unusual colorings of Span
ish origin into our clothes.
Jabot dresses are still a very strong
feature In Paris fashions; one sees
an endless number of them at after
noon dances. The jabot skirt, when
topped by simple little bodice, makes
remarkably pretty afternoon dress.
In fact, nothing could be more attrac-
tive than such model when devel-
oped in a soft, clinging fabric. But
all have not these modest corsages.
There are extreme ones having sleeve
less bOdices almost as decollete as an
| evening gown.
One worn recently at tea dance
in Paris, too extreme to be worn by
American women as an afternoon
dress, would make charming infor-
NAL dinner frock. The original is de-
veloped in black satin and silver lace,
the lace forming the jabOt cascade
down the sides of the draped skirt.
A straight piece of the lace goes about
the figure to make an under portion
for the surplice bodice of black satin.
Old Favorites In New Patterns.
A great many beautiful new fabrics
have large designs printed in bright
colors. The fashion for having frocks
made to match coat Innings. which
prevailed during the past winter, no
doubt had great deal to do with the
development and elaboration of silks
that were similar to the materials
which we have been wont to employ
as Innings for wraps only. Many old
favorites have returned to us in new

quite probable that the Puritans, with
their prejudice against display, were
responsible for concealing their
watches in their pockets"
The Oldest watch in existence, which
is exhibited In this collection, was
made by Peter Henlein, Nuremburg
blacksmith, along about the date when
Columbus was laying his plans for his
first western voyage. The wat h Is
about 2 1-3 inches in diameter, one
inch thick, and weighs seven ounces
avOirdupois. The case is bronze gilt,
and may have been produced by cast
ing, by press die and roller die, and
finally hand-tooled. The dial is of
brass, sunk in the center, in which cav
ity is revolving disk with pointer
which indicates the hours engraved up
to IL and repeated on the opposite
half. making the dial day and night
Indicator. Outside the hour numerals
are four circles, marked with minutes
fifteen to each circle. The hour indi-
Gator makes one revolution in "a hours
and the double-ended minute hand one
revolution In Is minutes. The mate
rials Of the movement are iron and
steel throughout, with the exception Of
the brass bushIngs of the pivot holes.
The workmanship is excellent.
Henlein, the inventor of this watch,
was prosecuted for witchcraft when he
withdrew from his companions to work
out his invention. He finally was put
in prison, where his watch was per-
fected. After some time he retired to
the convent Of the Cnrmelites. where
he was allowed to manufacture
watches on condition that he. give the
proceeds to the order. He died in 1910
ut Nuremburg, the scene of his perse-
cutions. where monument has been
erected to him.

In days gone by we thought Of print.
ed chiffon as suitable only for elderly
ladies' afternoon dresses;' probably
because this fabric was made In sub
dued colors and rather prosy designs.
But this making of chiffon in big pat
terms and brilliant shades has given
1t a new lease Of life, SO that now
printed chiffons are quite the rage.
Jenny, whose models, while always
beautiful, never were lovelier than
they are this spring, uses quantities
of printed chiffons combined with
plain materials. In one instance she

simple and quaint.
The marriage. as the French say,

wonderfully worked out In this de-

deep blue in the upper part Of the
skirt to accentuate this note without
making the dress dark. Where the
