Sharp Trend.
Is TO1Uard
old Empire
BY ROSETTE HARGROvE
NEA Service Writer


PARIS, July 2l.-The couturiers
and modistes evidently were deter
mined to give women plenty to
think about during the next few
weeks, judging by the revolution in
styles witnessed the last few days
of the Grand Semaine. and culmi-
mating with the Grand Prix at
Longchamp.
Probably no other race meeting
in the world attracts such cos
mopolitan as we'll as such smart
crowd.
This is evidently the reason why
the Paris couturiers elect to launch
their very latest creations as well
as a few tentative ideas for the fu-
ture big fall showings in the I'M
beatable settings that Auteuil.
Chantilly and Longchamp offer.
Result Is Jaunty
The trend of fashions is decidedly
Influenced by the styles of the
Second Empire, but whereas so far
as dresses are concerned, the move
ment is a more or less fat evoca-
ton of that period, hats show a
revolutionary movement.
Without any period Of transition
the elegante woke up one fine morn
ing to find that the microscopic cap,
perilously placed at the back Of her
head, had given way to beplumed
and befioWered tri-corners, marquis
and modern editions Of the riding
felt.
And the movement did not stay
at shapes and instead Of bare,
almost nude expanses of forehead,
the new hats actually almost hid
one eye. The result is jaunty, even
picturesque, but women will have to
learn a. whole set &c ''ow gestures to
fit the latest creations.
Hats Top the Mode
1t is quite certain that the new
hat modes will have an influence
on fall fashions. From that to stat
ing that crinohnes will be in" again
this winter is rank exaggerat1on.
The masters of Partisan couture
have too acute a sense Of the re-
ouirements of modern life ever to
attempt anything Of this nature.
But the fact remains that Tour
out Of five women are wearing the
new dip" hats, and to do them
Justice dresses will have to be longer
and wider and bodices even more
fornftting and shorter wasted.
They are too strong tendency to
be neglected, in the opinion of Jean
Charles Worth, but there is every
indication that they are intended
for the smart, sophisticated type OF
women only.
Discretion Is Required
Last August, Worth presented a
number of evening gowns which
were enthusiastically selected by the
women reputed to be the best
dressed in the world, and which had
the front draped back to form a
hustle effect with ruffles cascading
down the back.
This style will probably be inter
preted again this fall by most dress
makers, together with a modern
lied version Of the wide hoop skirts
of a previous century.
The latest fashions take quite a
lot of wearing to look just right, not
like fancy dress affairs. They de-
mand an enormous amount of dis
erection and an acute sense of dress
to achieve real chic, and it is inter
esting to note, in this transitory
stage of style, how many we'll
dressed women have adopted the
ultra simple in their dress rather
than risk making a mistake.

stove BLAST
RAINS BLAZING
OIL ON WOMAN
Victims Recovery Dubious;
Oil Tank Explosion
Injuries Man.

Covered with flaming coal oil
when a stove in ner home exploded
today, Mrs. Martha Swineford, 81,
of S37 Joseph street. in the Bit
more addition, west of the city, was
burned critically.
She, was rushed to the city hos
pital where physicians said her
chances for recovery are slight.
In another oil blast at the PARK
Oil Company, 1889 Columbia ave-
nue.. G. L. Smith, 3941 Mcpherson
avenue, was burned early today.
Mrs. Swineford was caught IN
the wave OF flaming fluid after she
had thrown the oil on hot ashes
in the firebox of the stove.
Screaming for help, the woman
fell to the floor and wrapped rug
around her body, after her apparel
already had been burned from her.
She stumbled from the house into
the arms of Dewey Smith and Her
bert Orr of Ben Davis, who ran to
her home when they heard her
screams.
She was taken to the home Of
Mrs. F. E. Key, where neighbors
gave her first aid until arrival Of
an ambulance.
Mrs. Swineford, widow, had
lived in the cottage in the suburban
addition several years. She has a
brother, Harry Sutherland of Fort
vile, who works in a garage in the
northeast section of Marion county.
The house, furnishings and money
Mrs. Swineford had saved from
laundry work were destroyed before
the arrival of apparatus from En-
CINE House 10.
In the oil company fire, the re-
finery plant was damaged more
than $1,000, according to firemen.
Smith was alone at the plant
when the tank exploded. He said
he was standing nearby and that
his clothing and face were covered
with the flaming liquid. Without
calling for aid, Smith ran from the
building, a one-story block struc-
ture, beating out the flames with
his hands.
He summoned fire apparatus and
was given first aid by firenen. The
fire was extinguished without Seri-
Gus damage to the refining ma
chinery, firemen said. Smith de-
clined to be taken to city hospital
and remained at the plant.
