Washington Fashions

Have you noticed the sudden
flair for white hats the past few
weeks? Prominent stores, have
had windows of them and are
showing them in their millinery
departments.
First we see one woman wear
ing a white hat, then WE see
two, and a few days later we
cunt three in single day.
This just proves that they are
on the increase and are fast be-
coming a fashion, though, of
course, their appeal is some
what limited, because they must
be spotless to be attractive, and
we all know it's very hard to
keep them so.
White hats appeared first last
spring in exclusive Paris collec-
tiOns and on very smart people
in New York. White hats worn
in the summer really don't
count in considering them now,
because we wear white always
in the summer. But this fall
they are distinctive and un-
usual and a very charming in
novation in the millinery mode.
They are always worn with
a costume that they are par
ticularly suited to, : such as a
black and white costume or
perhaps brown and white, or
navy and white. In other
words, the white of the hat
must match the dominant
trimming of the dress or coat.
They are usually rather formal
and are worn with afternoon
clothes, though now a few
white sport hats are appear
ing to wear with informal
clothes.
Velvet seems to be the favor.
ite medium for white hats,
although felts are appearing,
too. They follow the same
lines of new fall hats, which
means that they are almost
always small with shallow
crowns, worn back far on the
head. Modified berets and

flatteringly beautiful
Grecian in origin but allAmer'
lean in acceptance
Lots and lots of white and also
lots of black and deep pastels-
Gowns contrasting with wraps

There you have the fashion
high spots Of the gala opening
night at the Metropolitan opera.
There were fashion leaders in
all their gorgeous evening things.
What they wore last night fore
cast the fashions to be worn In
the evenings this fall and winter
throughout America.
White Came First
In these evening gowns OF
beauty in the famous Golden
Horseshoe" white was first in
number. Then came black. Then
deep pastels, darker pastels than
those of last year, more definite
in their coloringS. BlueS-reds-
greens-pinkS.
Because they were Grecian in
influence these evening gowns
were long, either to the ankles or
floor-all with even. hemlineS-
and as easy to wear as they were
to look at.
In fabric these dresses were:
First, sheer crepe; then satin
and flat crepes. Also a few
warped taffetas, stiff velvets, and
sequinS.
Straight and Full
'These long Greek dresses were
straight and full-many trimmed
with Greek bandS-some with
rhinestones. Many with peplums.
There were also some period
dresses Of the 1905, draped to
the back.
The wraps had more individ-
uality than for several seasons
past.
Most of them were to the knee
and longer. Black velvet first
usually trimmed with white fur,
with ermine, coney and many
foxes. The wraps often con-
trasted with the dresses. Differ
ing from last seasons wraps,
which were inclined to match
dresses.
Many Jewels Worn
AS with all such affairs there
were many jewels worn-though
not quite so many as last year.
The place was brilliant with bril-
liants and rhineStoneS. And, OF
course, there were hundreds of
beautifully dressed women wearing
pearls. A great many turquoise,
too, and a few with twisted belts
of jewels.
Fashions shoes were pumps Of
crepe de chine to match or con-
trast with wrap and dress. There
were some sandals worn, too.
Most women wore long gloves
white or black.
And there you have-brietly
summarized-the fashion high
spots of the gala opening night
at the Metropolitan opera.

Although the Wadsworth no
longer make their home here,
the family is listed as "of
Washington" in the minds of
the host of friends of their
Capital days. His sister, Evelyn,
made her debut here and her
marriage, the year following
to Stuart Symington, of Baltl-
more, was one of the most beau

the season.
Young Wadsworth, in an

up flying for his own personal
pleasure, is following in the
footsteps Of host of other
members of his generation here.
Only last year, Armar Archbold,
son of Mrs. Anne Archbold,
upon attaining his majority,
purchased a plane for his per-
sonal use. Previously, he had
evinced an ardent interest in
flying and, the year before, had
taken minor position with an
aviation concern in st. Louis,
to learn the business from the
bottom up. He proved an apt
pupil and, today, possesses fly
ing license, although he keeps
q pilot to fly his machine.

Tito Schipa as Edgar OF Ravens
wood in Lucia" which the Chicago
Civic Opera company is to present
March IA in San Antonio.
When Tito Schipa, the phenom-
email lyric tenor Of the Chicago
Civic Opera company who will ap-
pear March l4th. in Lucia" was
born, he was dedicated TO the
church. His mother was very relig-
ious and naturally desired her son
10 become a priest. So the good
woman conferred with the Bishop
Of Lecce and it was arranged that
the boy should enter the seminary
az the age OF fourteen.
But the best laid plans OF mice
and man often miScarry-So do
those OF mothers and bishops. Tito
came into the world not for the
church but for the stage. His moth
er did not know this, but the boy
did and so the end will show.
The beautiful quality Of the lads
voice entranced the bishop who
s~traightway provided the one sure
means Of losing his protege By
counselling him to ioing the choir.
The law Of gravitation began its
direful work. Tito studied and sang
and the more he studied and the
more he sang, the more he loved
music and the less he loved his
career.
The lure Of the opera was too
strong for one Of his artistic tenn
permanent and talent 70 withstand.
SO at night ID was his habit to
quietly slip out of the window at
tend a performance and as quiet
" slip back again with his shoes
in his hand-just for precautions
sake.
Under the guidance OF Maestro
Gerunda. at the seminary. Tito
made such marvellous strides in
vocal art and composition, as to
compel him to decide that further
continuance of his ecclesiastical
work was useless and he left the
seminary In order 70 devote his
entire time to art.
After three more years under
Gerunda, Schipa was sent TO Milan
to further his career. making his
operate debut in "Traviata" a year
later for which privilege he paid
the sum OF fifty Ira. Thus did the
ministry lose a brilliant talent but
its loss was the gain for the opera
and concert stage.
