Crowds Gather Everywhere.
In parlors, on streets and in back

shortly.
The question of attendance assumed
major proportions Immediately, because
the American Legion Hall, largest In

Those who can't get in will just
have to be satisfied with the reception
at the municipal airport. said EDWIN
J. Poole publisher Of the Chickasha
Express, which is in charge of the cele-
bration.
A special car will be sent to Mays
Vile, to bring MFR. and Mrs. w. F. Post,
Wileys parents, and other relatives to
Chickasha, first Oklahoma city to be
visited by the flyers on their return
from the East.
Plan Genteel Fete.
There's to be band from Fort Sill,
and loud speakers at the little Chick

antics.
"ItIl be plenty vociferous," Poole said
of the celebration, but quite genteel. !"
Speeches at the airport and parade
around the field so all who gather from
the countryside may view the flight
heroes, will be followed by a parade
through this little city Of $4,000, and
the banquet. Arrangements have been
made for Mrs. Post to be the first to
greet her son.

material. a restrained cowl neckline
faced with lei of ermine, with the &C

way down its front and with two mar

leather belts are matched with black
patent gloves, with the palms only Of
kid, either in black or white. A very
deep decolletage in black sequin frock
is cut by the use of a handkerchief
scarf. also of the sequins, wrapped close
around the throat, with the point in
the center front.
THIS house has definitely gone in for
the pajama for the intimate hours
when most other houses have not in
cluded it in their showings. Mile
Chanel uses every material from velvet
to lace for them, not forgetting lame
and always her pajama creations are
unusual.
Sometimes, as in q lace and NOUS
seine frock in black. she contents her
self with making the foundation in
trousers. Again, in black velvet Co.'S
tune the bodice is headed in front with
jeweled band inches wide. which is
repeated at the center Of the belt. In
the back there is a rather high decol-
letage, but with slit from the square
top which reaches almost to the waist
line, a favorite decolletage here for all
formal clothes. This outfit had long
medieval sleeves which reached to the
knee, but exposed a square OF flesh at
the shoulder top, as il the bodice had
been cut in drop-shculder effect The
trousers themselves were fairly narrow
at the bottom, and, instead Of being
shaped to the figure, gathered the full
ness into the waist quite simply.

Traps and Pitfalls
OF New Millinery

Hat styles are delightful, but dan
gerous, this season. Take care how you
choose and how you wear that new
Empress Eugene hat.
The temptation to be girl from an
old-faShioned Portrait of q Lady"
complete with shoulder cape. muff and
tip-tilted beplumed hat, is proving too
much for many women.
Remember that there are simple YER
sions of this new hat style which are
to be worn during the daylight and in
formal hours. Keep the hat with the
swirling ostrich feather for the tea
hour or the theiter. and wear with it
one of the newly fashionable formal
frocks of satin or velvet, not light
weight wooden dress of tailored SIM
plicity.
Remember, toe, that every one of
these hats must be tilted very far for
ward over one eye, worn rather high in
the back and well off one side of the
head. If you are conservatively minded,
however, you will find many less eX-
IRENE adaptations Of the Eugene mode
in the smart millinery shops-hats with
modified crowns and wider brirns that

WITH September ushered in and the
w New York shops showing such
beautiful copies and adaptations Of the
interesting clothes designed in Paris this
Summer, it is a little puzzling to decide
what to buy first.
There is considerable technical infor-
nation to be cleaned about WoolenS,
and we have gathered it on two conti-
nents. since WoolenS are strong fea-
ture of the new mode. But this infor-
nation is about as interesting for the
Law woman to read as is text book OF
geometry. It Is sufficient to know that
wooden is correct fabric IN interpret
ing the STYLES of 1892, which are just
different enough from those Of three
months ago to label themselves as new.
Among the best of the fashions is
that of the wool dress to be worn with
those charming Victorian capes and
neckpieces of fur that partly cover the
shoulders. This combination makes one
of the smartest street costumes for the
first chilly days of Autumn.
Diagonal weaves are perhaps the ia
vorites in WoolenS, that range from
rough, pebbly surfaced cloths to fine
broadcloth, an oid-time material that
has staged a swift comeback this season
and is used extensively in the more for
NAL type of Fall costume, from coats to
evening dresses The newest evening
wraps are of pastel-colored broadcloths
Cashmere is wool to keep your eye
on. It will be used extensively later on
At the present time the crepes, jerseys
and diagonal weaves are most in de.
mand, with broadcloths for more formal
clothes, and fat furs are more often
used to trim the less formal wool suits
and dresses.

Autumn Bride Is Lucky
Trousseau for 1881 Season Is Pretty and
Becoming Wedding Gown May Be Both
Dignifed and Smart-Departure Costumes.

PUT to get back to Peggy and her
- trouSseau expedition. The really
important matter of the morning was
to select what Peggy called her de-
parture costume The first question
to settle was one Of color. That was
very important because the choice of
shoes. hand bag and other accessories
all depended on this important deci-
sion. Peggy's first choice was brown
and in the end we did decide on
brown. not just because it is very be-
coming to Peggy's light brunette color
ing, but because there are so many
charming brown costumes and brown
hats and accessories from which to
choose.
But there are ever so many colors
for the Autumn brides selection. and
there is excellent precedent Tor the
choice of one of the brighter or lighter
tones. Good precedent also for the
combination of two contrasting colors
An unusual choice for the going
away costume-but one in line with
the latest fashion developmentS-wou
be prune color, egg plant wine or one
of the new purplish blues. Green,
either alone or in combination with
beige or brown, has much to recon-
mend it. And speaking Of green one
should learn to differentiate the va

green. forest green, grass green and
bottle green. Among lighter neutral
colors one may consider the possibilities
of gray and beige-either of which are
decidedly smart for street costumes
when combined lavishly with darker
fur.
DEGGY'S going-away or departure
costume as she chose to call it.
consisted of two-piece suit trimmed
with fur-brown with an egg shell
blouse And to wear with this for
motoring she selected neutTal-colored
camels hair coat made without fur
trimming. Of course. Brown alligator
strap pumps with sheer brown stock
ings, brown alligator bag and light
ecru gloves were added to the list, and
last of all a rosewood necklace and
| bracelet set.
Even in a colorful season like the
present Peggy has fondness for black
so she chose a black pony coat, at a
reasonable figure, but with all the slim
elegance of a very high-priced wrap.
| To wear with this she has a sheer
black wool crepe afternoon dress and
a black satin theater dress with small
! black velvet hat.

PARIS, September 8.

PARIS, september ..
A LTERNATING sunshine and showers
during the Grande Semaine at
Deauville made the wearing Of rainy
day clothes almost a necessity and pro-
duced many interesting costumes of this
type
An amusing white crepe rain suit

wrap-around category. The Tapped part
was at the back. with straight narrow

we'll as being snug its full length. Green
buttons marked the double-breasted,
hip-length jacket, matching the belt
and hat worn with it, The tiny UNI
brella also was of rubberized crepe in
green. and when the sun came out the
costume was a most effective one, Civ

Other smart ensembles were largely
of oiled silk in bright colors, accom-
panied by carriage-size umbrellas of the

TROUSSEAU shopping is a thrill
ing adventure even if the trous-
Seau doesn't happen to be your
Il own, and when young friend
of ours-well call her Peggy
asked us to 20 along with her on her
expedition. we didn't wait to be urged.
Then Peggy explained that-as every
one knew-she had planned to be mar
ried a year ago. But something hap
pened. Bills commission. or royalties,
or interest or whatever 1t was, dW1ndled
and so they had to put of the we'd
ding.
But you can't imagine how happy
I am about it now" Peggy announced.
Clothes began to be interesting a
year ago, but they are perfectly ador-
able now. They are becoming. and
while l don't expect to spend a bit
more money on my trousseau. can
get things that look lot more expen-
sive and interesting now for the money
l have to spend"
And so in bringing up this matter
of Autumn trousseau. congratulations
are in order. Brides of'the Autumn OF
1881 really are fortunate.
Presumably there never is time IN
a woman'S life when clothes are more
important than when she Is bride
nor a time when she feels justified in
buying so many of them.
X
ITO begin with. the most significant
dress of all-the wedding dress. 1t
is picturesque and dignified. feminine
and lovely. as wedding dresses should
be. But it manages to be all these
things without departing at all from
the accepted mode of the season. In
the era of the short skirt for all oc-
casions the bride either had to choose
a short-skirted dress that was out Of
keeping with the traditional solemnity
of the occasion or else wear a specially
designed long-skirted model that was
out of keeping with the prevailing
mode
Todays bride may walk slowly to
the altar perfectly confident that her
long trailing skirts are not only ap-
propriate to the setting but in perfect
accord with the latest fashions in for
NAL dresses generally. The Autumn
bride will naturally choose white satin
not only because white satin Is the
traditional fabric, but because satin is
one of the seasons most important
fabrics and lends itself perfectly to
the graceful draping and diagonal ad-
justment of the accepted fashions.

House Invitations.

1--WE had an invitation to wedding
of somebody 1 don't know at all, but
the bridegroom is a fraternity brother
of my husband. We've been invited to
the ceremony at church and to the
reception at the house afterward.
Should we send the gift to the bride?"
Thus writes Mrs. J. l.. P.
Yes, indeed. The invitation TO the
house means a gift, even II you have
never met the bride. And all gifts
should be addressed to the bride. To
be sure. gifts are sometimes given to
tie bridegroom. but in that case another
gift is given to the bride.
In this case it would. think. be a
pood plan to choose something for the
house. as your husband is a friend
though an old one of the bridegroom
better than choosing something strictly
personal for the bride.

Emergency Shelf
HELPS in Illness

TN time Of peace prepare for war Is
q good motto for the housewife to
apply TO the matter of preparations for
illness In the home. When the emer-
gency really comes you will find it a
great convenience If you can lay your
hands quickly on the few essentials to
home nursing and first aid that will
probably be needed. This does not require
expensive purchasing. The important
thing is to have the things YOU will need
all together in a place where you can
lay your hands on them Immediately
One housewife has large tin box with
cover on the top shelf of her linen
closet and in this she keeps such
needfuls as may be required. 1t is i'm
portant to keep the things closely COW
cred so that they will be free from dust
when needed.
Here are some of the things that
you may need that should be included
in your supply.
Two or three small white enamel
dishes or basins such as are sold in
drug stores at small cost and will be
convenient to the doctor or nurse IN
making dressings. A larger dish that
may be used to hold instruments when
they are sterilised.
A graded measuring glass, a medi-
cine dropper and a glass spoon.
roll of bandaging package oil
sterilized gauze and q package OF sterile
absorbent cotton.
II you have an ice cap, syringes sno
douche bags they should be kept with
this equipment, but it is we'll not to get
these things specially until needed, as
rubber goods sometimes dry out ano

Among the drugs that the doctor OF

have on hand are powdered DO
