SPANISH INFLUENCE IN GOWNS.
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

PARIS, October S.-The autumn
bride never fails to excite and stimu-
late the efforts of dressmakers. What
she is to wear is only second In
Importance to what woman wears
who is to be presented at court. One
might reflect that the latter per-
formance gains bit in brilliancy
because it has not been as common
during the last seven years as during
| the centuries that preceded the great
war.
When queens are in exile and kings
have no titles, when the throne room
| has been closed because of battles and
there are many knights and barons
| who have just learned to cut their
salad with fork and not knife,
! the ceremony of presentation at court
begins to take on glimmer of
medtevaliSm.
! So it is that brides are occupying
more of the limelight today than
Z! "a aspirant to court honors. 1t would
seem SO. to judge by the attitude OF
| the dressmakers. Few women are
debating the length of court train.
| but many are asking If bridal gowns

Each season the supreme artists in

exhibition is not preceded by music
and attended by bridesmaids after the
fashion that has wearied us so in
America. But when it appears there
! is a stir and vivid interest among
| those who sit in the big chairs choos-
! ing their own frocks for the season.
None fails to look up. to lay aside her
own gown. and to watch the per-
fOrmance of the young and lovely
mannequin who slowly proceeds down
the room wearing gown, the like of
which may never be hers. Even mar
riage itself may not be in her scheme
of things, but she has been taught
net to look sophisticated and to keep
her eyes dreamily fixed on the far
future. 1t would be too much to ask
q blush.
A curious phase of this season in
Paris is the absence of a wedding
gown in the collections. So when the
mannequin at the house of Callot came
| into the Chinese rooms with her
Spanish headdress above seven
teenth century bridal gown. one felt
that here, at least, was novelty.
The headdress more than the gown
is the feature that stimulates the i'm
agination. Goya might have painted
a bride with such a coffure, possibly
Cervantes wrote of her. First, there
is a bandeau jeweled in stones whose
coloration does not offend the eye.
The Spanish comb that rises from this
bandeau at the back is broad and
also jeweled. the whole aspect being
one of fragility and fine old crafts
manship. Over the head Is fine lace
veil that is held up by a tall comb.
1t does not go over the face. The
modern bride has abandoned that
symbol of moGesty.
The gown that goes with this
Spanish headdress is of white satin
embroidered in gold. There Is white
tulle to soften it. The train at the
back swings from the shoulders.
where it is clasped. AS a tribute to
mannequin takes off her veil and long
train and appears clad for the evening
in a medieval gown of white and
gold and jeweled bandeau. This is
done because the dressmakers of
Paris insist upon pleasing women by
a continuous appeal to their talk of

and wrinkles that years of smiling
and massage cannot eradicate.
Smiling will keep you young and

you feel better.

every morning on rising Will harden
your skin, so IT will not be SO sensi-

plunge every morning in the tub.

How Much for Hats?

DO YOU make up your mind every
season just how much YOU can afford
to spend on hats Whether you
have ten dollars or hundred. you
VIII find that you get better results
if you start out with some definite
idea of what you have to spend and
determination TO get the hest nat
equipment possible for the amount.
A great deal more can be done
of making over hats. Milliners know
this so well that they sometimes
even request their customers to bring
in last seasons hats to be done
over at comparatively low cost. or
course, the worst thing that can
to have hard wear. A fifty-dollar
hat drOops as quickly under inces-
SAINT wear as a hat caught up at a
bargain counter for five. So If you
have one or two old hats made over
your new hat or hats may be kept
just SO much fresher in appearance.
You may decide that 1t is better
to struggle along making your own
hats And the truth is that if you
have but $40 or thereabouts q sea-
son to spend on hats you will proba-
bly, get better results by being your
own hats you will be able to get
two hats for this amount-possibly
three il you have any left-overs that
may be pressed into service.
Even battered-up frame may be
used second time with good results
rip Oft the old trimming
and covering, and when you get

Il cloth to use for sponging. Moisten
the canvas and press dry. This re-
stores original crispness and brings

going to do much hat renovatfng 1t
will be worth your while to rig up

in the pony express. And of all the
daredevil riders, the dare-devilest
was Jim. Jim was long and lean and
rangy. Jim wore Stetson hat bout
as big as the Isle Of zap, shirt that
would have made a rainbow look an
emic, chaps dyed green and all the
silver studded leather produced in
Salinas in the last quarter century.
Also a cigar. 1t was the original
grandfather Of all cigars and you
could hear it smell at 100 yards. Jim
wore it clamped In the starboard side
of his mouth; and on the port side
he wore a grin.
Now the pony express is typically
western idea of a good time. 1t may
end in a town celebration. Or it may
end in a funeral. Either way you get
a lotta excitement. Jim's race pretty
nearly ended the latter way. Off they
went in a blur of purple and orange
and green-a lather of black and bay;
Men whooping, horses thudding, crowd
yelling like fiends. A flash, a swoop,
a sickening swerve-and Jim was
down in a tangle of kicking heels.
A mob grunt of horror. a woman's
scream-then up came Jim again! The
leather and silver were twisted and
ripped, the shirt was torn to shreds
and the outlines of Jim's shoulder
scattered fore an aft. There was
blood on his cheek, blood in his hair
and he limped with a nasty jerk. But
he wore that cigar in the starboard
side of his mouth and on the port side
he wore a grin!
Oh, Jim! Oh. Jim! May your spirit
never grow less! And If the gods are
listening to prayers from newspaper
writer's today may they grant that I.
too, rise from my jolts with life and
death with the contents of my grin
intact.
