able women III history, the death of
Tsu-Hsi was as dramatic and mysteri-
GUS as her origin and early history.
On November 3, 1908, the court as
sisted in the celebration of her sew
enty-fourth birthday-an occasion in
which she appeared to be in the best
OF health. Less than fortnight later,
however, 1t was announced that the
empress had suddenly died and, at
the same time, bulletin was issued
stating that the emperor had passed
away on the preceding evening. Those
familiar with the intrigue surrounding
the Chinese court shook their heads
wisely and smiled with more than q
trace of grimness at the thought Of
the fate which had overtaken Tsu-H si
and her protege.
1.-THE death which she had meted out
to others has overtaken her at last"
was the popular verdict, but beyond
this nothing was discovered. Thus
passed, as mysterieusIy as she had
lived. one of the most remarkable char
acters In history-an autocrat whose
birth, life and death were all shrouded
In fmpenetrable mystery.

Those handsome plush fabrics which
have established reputation for dura.
bility and warmth. as well as rich ap-
pearance, have been introduced this
fall in many attractive ~oats. Be-
sides those that initiate certain furs
so closely that they deceive the eyes.
there are others that make no at
tempt to initiate anything, but stand
on their own merits as materials of
great beauty, especially adapted to
coats for the coolest weather.
In the picture a handsome and
practical coat is shown made of dark
brown plush with high turnover col.
lar of fur. Skunk, marten, fox and 9th
er pelts provide collars for these coats
as for coats Of short-haired fur. and
the balls that finish the ends of the
long girdle are of fur. Three hand.
some buttons secure the closing of the
coat and are placed to the left of the
front.

FRILLS IN FAVOR
Lingerie Blouses Again Demand
MiIady's Attention.
Plan Gives Opportunity for Revival
Of Some Of the Delightful
Old Fashions.

That the revived interest In lingerie
blouses is not feeting one Is proved
by the consideration given them by
the worlds greatest dressmakers,
notes a fashion writer in the New
York Tribune. Models showing all
sorts OF interesting variations Of the
lingerie blouse are shown.
There are women who consider a
touch Of white at the neck of their
coats smart, and others who do not.
Individual tastes may differ in this
matter, so far as style is concerned,
but opinion cannot be divided as to
the becomingness Of a frilly blouse
with a tailored coat.
It is lamentable that such a charm
ing fashion should for the last few
years have been considered provincial,
and it is quite delightful to see the
frilled collar of organdie, sheer linen
and dimity again appearing with the
smartest of one-button coats. Moth
Ing Is more becoming than the old
time navy blue suit accompanied by
a white lingerie blouse. From all In
dications we are about to witness q
return of this youthful and becoming
style.
Frflls are much in evidence on the
new blouses. Even the Russian blouse
has departed from the ways Of its
progenftors and has taken unto itself
frills. There are blouses Of fine white
pique with high Russian collars but
toning over to one side and having
smart jabot frills Of linen.
The frilled blouse gives an eppor-
tunity for the revival Of some de-
lightful old fashions. It means the
renaissance Of various types of collars
made famous in history. It means the
revival Of lovely old laees as trim
mings for these collars.
Designers and manufacturers are
working to the utmost of their capac-
ity creating models embodying the
characteristics that made the fri1led
blouse hold prominent place In fash
ions for so many years.
The popularity Of the tailored suit
for fall has created demand not only
fer Dleuses Of the friny sort, but has
brought into favor the vest blouse as
well as silk, chiffon and lace bleuses
OF a dressy character, which, when
worn with a plain two-piece suN,
transforms 1t into an afternoon ces-
tune.

If it were not for the vogue for en-
'broidery the story Of many one-piece
frocks would be as simple as a nursery
rhyme-long, almost unbroken lines
make them graceful, but this lack
of drapery invites decoration which is
one way Of saying that there are many
lovely embroidered dresses among
recent offerings But. however many,
none will have more to commend ii
than the handsome model shown here.
Notice it has the long waistline far
ing sleeve and broad silk sash which
are delightful contributions OF the new
season.

A certain Englishman, famous for
his eruditjon, played such a wretched

one day to his caddie, How is it that

Outing Coats.

The separate flannel or jersey out

Whether with or without sleeves, this
garment Is as useful as any modistes
have so far invented, and 1t has a

Among the new blouses are some
that have a short peplum and many
that are embroidered with small col
ored beads. Here is one that COM
bines both these features in the fall
styles, and you will notice that its
sleeves are three-quarter length and
that it has a sash Of ribbon that ties
with bow and ends at the left side.
1t is made of dark georgette.

Designers Of separate skirts have
reveled in, the combination of plaids
and plaits this season, and varied this
pleasing pastime by exercising their
ingenuity on stripes and plaits. Every
sort of plat is employed to beguile in
teresting and sometimes surprising eff
fects out of familiar plaids and stripes.
and if the separate skirt needed any
thing to further its cause, it could not
ask better help than the present vogue
for plaits.
One of these attractive skirts.
shown here, employs knife plaits al
the front and back, leaving plain
panel at each side, with kindness
aforethought, for those women who
adore slender lines.

production, Bits of Life.v which is
heralded as genuine novelty in
motion picture entertainment.
comes to the Spencer Square thea
ire tomorrow for an engagement
of four days.
The new Nie1an photoplay offers
TOUR episodes in a manner which.
II is claimed, has never before been
attempted on the screen, three of
the four scenarios being adapta-
tlons OF short magazine stories by
wen known magazine writers.
The initial episode is taken from
Inc Bad Samaritan" a short dra-
matte story which appeared in the
Popular Magazine and was written
by Thomas McMorrow. The sec
ond story is a perturbation of Wal
Ter Trumbulfs tale entitled 1.-The
Man Who Heard Everything. which
appeared in the Smart Set. The
tnlrd episode is an adaptation of
hugh Wiley's popular story, Hop"
which originally appeared in the
saturday Evening Post. For the
f1al episode Mr.. Nielan presents
his own story, 1.-THE Strange Ad-
venture" written especially for this
picture.
The four stories are so combined
that a continuous theme of great
dramatic construction is displayed
leading up to a final punch.
Although the magazine or the
short story idea in photoplays has
been done before. it is pointed out
that the manner in which Mr.. Me
Ian handles the presentation of this
idea discloses something entirely
novel in the way of entertainment
The largest cast of prominent
players ever assembled in a Nielan
production is offered in this pic
ture. including Wesley Barry. Lon
