 Dicky drew out his watch and looked at it when I put my question as to what we meant to do about our discovery that young Noel Nerit- zen was shabby and in need of clothing
 "One thing is certain-We can't do anything tonight" he said. And Harry and I are going to miss some mighty interesting preiiminaries if we don't beat it.

 Madge's Motive

New York. Sept 9-Ncw modes have been termed return to pre- war princess linor," in some fashion quarters. I consider this an entire rlie-statcmcnt Of things Fashions progress and the new lines of au- tumn are distinctly 1890. different in many subtle ways from any worn heretofore.
 This miS-statcmont comes from the fact that skirts are longer, waists tiGhor. Given that much in con- mon with the pro-War styles, tn" as sumption is made that certain styl"S have been revived. The truth is that hiIc the modes of far-gone decadr may inspire 9 new line or touch, the modern interpretation of the theme could never he identical with yes ,rrvoaU's. For fashions reflect their Irriod as architecture, literature. HusiC do.
 Different Gi,lS-DlGcrcnt Strics
 Evening gowns arc an excellent illustration of my point. For eve ming gowns usually express new ideas in style more quickly than daytime fashions. In &' oi tho gowns I mention there is l1ngcr skirt, t.c fuller skirt, th" ..,cstrd waistline and the "drl .'sHak'r' touch that are the newest things for fall. But not on" cf these gowns could possibly have bccn the mo2e before. They are as different from pro-war gowns as today's young women are from the girls of 1910.
 Most women will welcome the changed styles. For they take into consideration all types of women. al ages. There is great Individuality ir { styles,
 Many fabrics lend their beauty t' l the new evening mode. Chiflon' ! grow claborately tins, He'd, with lux urious colors in gold and silver !

There is rev dull blu' i that has lilac look, many fcminin' pinlls. greens hard and distinguished reds with light touch to their col bring. and now maize that | neither gaudy gold nor yet pale yet low.
 An admirable gown for lorna dinners is an apple green chiGfor tinse!cd in sivc". Ii has a slightl, raised Waistlin" and an ornamenta motif of shirring in front. Th' long slim sheath, with the fullncS from the knees down, is distincN the smart but graceful 1880 line. \ Pcachy Crepe for Older WGT,",

The old rivalry between heavier than air air.

buoyed up by gas are practical craft for inter-
