FRENCH CONSUL, ATTENDING
THE ADVANCE SHOWING OF
STYLES, SAYS IT IS GREAT.
CHICAGO.—M. Antorian Barthele
my, French consul, went out te Mari
gold Gardens—and dreamed he was
back in the Rue de la Paix.
Anybody would. An eyeful of the
fashion revue, just completing a three
weeks’ run, is calculated to make Chi
cago the “Paris of the western world.”
Unchaperoned husbands are hot be
ing allowed in, The sights hurt their
eyes.
Seventy mannequins—girls chosen
for their pretty faces, slim ankles,
rounded cheeks, dimpled chins and per
fect shoulders—are displaying these
charms plus $600,000 worth of clothes.
Three times nightly they parade
among the tables at Marigold. It's a
blur of suits, cloaks, negligees, hats,
nighties .and “combinations”—if you
know what that means.
The style committee of the associa
tion of commerce is putting on the
style show .in collaboration ‘with the
Chicago garment makers association,
the milliners’ association and the
wholesale furriers’ associatiom.
Chicago the Western Paris. <
The French consul gave the show
his official blessing. Said he wasn’t a
bit jealous. That Paris couldn’t begin
to dress the feminine world alone.
Welcomed Chicago as the western
Paris. |
Armed watchmen are on guard at
Marigold day and night to guard the
costly gamments.
The mannequins after knocking ’em
dead at Marigold are going to take
daily strolls up and down Michigan
boulevard, wearing some of the eye
chockers. They will also appear on
the beaches, at golf courses and oth
er public events.
“This is the biggest style show on
record in America,” said M. E. Ber
kenfield, director of the display. “We
combed the country for beautiful man
nequins. There’s a famine in them.
So many musical shows are rehearsing
or touring that beautiful young wom-|
en are in demand.” l
Forecast of Styles. !
Generally speaking the gowns for
the coming winter are to be waistless,
hipless, sleeveless, straight-lined, and
shorter than ever. All sorts of fab
rics, richer and more gorgeous as to
coloring and design even than former
ly, will be sued. The dresses shown
are more elaborately trimmed than
those of last season, and much hand
work in the way of embroidery is in
evidence. Conventional designs, pick
ed out in braids, heads, wool or silk
floss give the odels an elaborate ap
pearance without destroying the
straight-line effect that is to be the
keynote of smartness.
Save in dancing frocks there is very
little added in the way of adjustable
trimming. These latter are flounced,
ruffled, beflowered and besashed un-

til they are more bouffant than ever.
Also they are very, very short. Tulle
and lace still hold their own, in fact,
are advanced in popularity ever this
summer, which, they tell me, has been
a “face season.” But dinner and for
mal opera or ball gowns are of unriv
aled richness, built of velvets, bro
cades and gold and silver cloths. :
To Be a Fur Season.
The furs shown at Marigold Gar
dens are luxurious beyond anything
dreamed by the ordinary mortal.
Sleeveless wraps 47 inches long, aug
mented by cape collars 28 and 30
inches deep, are the last word in beau
ty. Dark Russian squirrel and per
fectly matched mink were the sEins
chosen for two of the handsomest cre
ations.”
Street furs are long this year in
stead of short as they were last, and
most of the more tailored coats with
sleeves are as long as the dressier
capes. The Dolman style is much in
evidence, one especially attractive gar
ment being of Hudson seal trimmed in
skunk.
Many cloth wraps, also, are being
shown and are finding much favor
among women visitors at the fashion
show who anticipate needing an all
round utility garment. They are all
elaborately trimmed in fur, however,
and in many cases are even more
graceful in line than the more expen
sive all fur coats.
Semi-Tailored Dresses.
The one-piece serge or trocatine
dress which for so long has been the
faithful friend of every smart wom
an’s winter wardrobe, has taken a new
lease on life. Perhaps the most gen
erally interesting exhibit of the whole
(show are these semi-tailored dresses,
which are far less severe this season
than formerly. The long, waistless,
straight lines remain, But that is about
all the kinship existing between them
and last year’s dress. The necks are
cut lower, and no sleeves are longer
than the elbow—most of them are
shorter. All these frocks are heavily
embroidered, some of them in an al
most barbaric brilliance of colors. Full
ness, straight-lined, business, never
\theless, has been introduced in the
skirts and there is more than one sug
’gestion of a sash.
The model that won the most ap
plause from the visitors was a blue
French serge heavily embroidered in
black with clever inserts of black satin
in bodice front and at each side of the
paneled skirt. The dress was abruptly
cut off over the hips to accommodate
an inlet of accordfon plaiting. Other
features of the frock were a sash of
the satin and caught back to form
left side, the ends finished with gold
tassels, and the short sleeves faced in
the satin and caught back tod form
quaint cuffs.

CAMERA MEN LIVE
TWO AMERICANS FIRST WHITES
TO VISIT HEAD-HUNTERS AND
BRING BACK PICTURES.
NEW YORK, N. Y.—To have pene
trated alone into the gloomy depths of
'thé jungles of Borneo and New
Guinea, from whence no other white
lmon have ‘ever returned alive, to have
lived with head-hunters and cannibals
leth only a camera as a weapon and
!to have obtained reels of moving pic
'tures of the fierce natives—these were
ithe experiences of Edward Laemmle
land W. L. Alder, iotion picture pho
tographrs, who recently arrived in
New York and told their story.
The pictures they show and the ad
ventures they relate are filled with
the lure of savage scenery and wild,
untamed people who had, many of
them, never before seen a white man
—unless in the pot about to be stewed
for the evening meal.
~ They fought with the natives in bat
tles in South China, they were at
tacked and knocked over by a charg
ing tiger in the wilds of Siam, they
were lost in the jungle with a herd of
elephants trumpeting near by, they
were ship-wrecked on the coast of
New Guinea among cannibas—yet “the
two young men call it the greatest
year of their lives. .
Stirring Adventures.
Laemmle and Alder sailed from San
Francisco more than a year ago. They|
landed in Japan and filmed the moun
tains there. Java and its volcanoes
next was offered to their cameras.‘
Then théy spent some time in China. |
It was in Borneo and New Guinea,
however, that their most stirring ad
ventures came. |
“The head-hunters live in the very.
central part of Borneo,” says Laem
mle. “The hardest part of it all is
finding them. It was a wild trip. We
went up a small river during the rainy
season, huge crocodiles snapping their
immense jaws at us all the way. We
were always covered with leeches.
“When we finally reached the Dy
aks or head-hunters we were in a
country in which no other white men
had ever set foot. The head-hunters
‘may have looked longing at our heads,
but we didn’t mind and started right
in photographing them. While we
w:eire with them we lived just as they
did.
Dance About Human Heads.
“Many of the most common utensils
of the Dyaks are decorated with tufts
of human hair. Some of their dances
are twined about a dried human
head.”
After having returned back to the
coast safely from the interior of Bor
neo the two intrepid photographers
again flirted with fate by organizing
an expedition to the cannibals of New
Guinea.
“We had a little, two-mast schoon
er, says Laemmle, “with a Malay
skipper and a Malay crew. The skip
per trusted to a bottle of whisky to
get us to our destination, so it’s little
wonder that we were shipwrecked.
Fortunately we were near enough to
shore to get to land successfully.
“We were met by huge savages,
most of them more than six feet tall,
practically naked with ivory tusks run
through their noses, and faces made
hideous by scars. We managed to
pacify them by explanations and gifts
and established ourselves in a hut on
the shore.
Glad They Were Thin.
“Lord, how glad we were that we
were thin! Only a short time before
they had stewed up a missionary
whose empty church we later photo
graphed. They explained that on the
whole they preferred the meat of Chi
namen to that of white men, so that
cheered us up a little.
“We were two months among this
strange and revolting race. Several
times we were in the greatest danger
of our lives, but always managed to
pull out with a. whele skin.”
After Laemmle and Alder returned
the Dutch government complimented
them on their initiative as being the
first white men ever to brave the im
tense dangers and obtain photographs
of this particular people.
ARE THREE CARS TOO
EVERY MILE OF ROAD
Total of Machines in United States
Close to 8.000,000, Declares Member
of Public Roads Bureau
If all the motor cars in the United
States were evenly distributed over all
the public highways of the country
they would still be thick enough to
throw dust on each other’s wind
shields.
The total road mileage in this coun
try, Anderson says, is about 2,475,000.
The number of motor cars is close to
8,000,000, the registration for last
vear being 7,565,446. This makes an
average of a little more than three
automobiles for every mile of roadway
in the country.
Rhode Island, the smallest state,
has one automobile for each 251 feet
of public highway, or 21 cars per mile.
Driving in New Mexico and Nevada
is less likely to be congested, as these
two states have less than one car per
mile.

had been stripped from her feet by a
bolt of lightning, but her white silk
stockings were not even scorched.
