THE FALL SKIRTS
Long and Short Effect Combined
in Latest Garment.
Iwo-MateriaI Outfits Promise to Be
In llmeiioht; Contrast to De-
velop the Trimming.

Out of the mixture of the newer
fashions that are being presented to
the public as advance models, says a
fashion authority in the New York
Times, we CLEAN the following leading
facts which are pertinent to the de-
vefopment Of the fall fashions and
which will be more than useful to any
one who has to have her clothes de-
signed at the present time
Long skirts there will be beyond the
shadow Of any doubt, but they can
have interstices of short spaces incor-
porated in their. making so that, at
one point they will be quite short
while at exactly the opposite points
they will fairly be trailing on the
ground.
Many Of the fall dresses will be
made up on combination of two ma
terials, say, velvet and silk, or velvet
and wool or silk and wool or silk and
fur fabric, or velvet and real fur.

interests Of the gown itself

there will be absolutely no trimming
but the line of the gown left entirely
plain will be left to hold the honors

Sleeves will be wide and long. They
will be embroidered heavily and often

will be the only sign of trimming in

Tho Sailor Hat.

A trimming to make the sailor wear
able for nearly any occasion is made
by sewing ribbon flowers to a detach-
able hat band. Black or copenhagen
velvet can be put on and of under a
bow at the center back. In front, col
orful flowers made OF any fabric can
be sewed on SO they will not interfere
with the removal of the band Sewing

ion is a good style. For this purpose
daisies, small rosebuds and forget-me-
nots are suitable. Silver or gold rib
bon, with green or henna toned
grapes, is another trimming to trans
form the everyday hat.

to gather a good idea of the high
civilization of France as we'll as the

MIKE" RICHARDS
JOINS "AL" HERNDON

On Friday Of last week Mike"
Richards, pup but a few months
ago but already grown into some
sixty pounds of faithful dog,
was run over by an auto on Dish
man Street and died within a few
minutes. After the accident Mike
tried to get back to his mistress,
Mrs. G. M. Richards, but before he
could do so was called to the happy
hunting grounds where good dogs
in this life are rewarded with plenty
OF bones and all the other things
that the faithful are entitled to.
AL Herndon, who preceded him by
a few days, was probably designated
to show him to his new kennel and
the two, in the shadowy land of
peace, have doubtless exchanged
notes of their experiences here and
there since AL left Barbourville and
Mike arrived in dog heaven.
