POINTS OF THE MODEL
Fashion Decrees That Skirts Shall
Dip to Show Their Linings.
New York, Aug. 1H It’s never too
late for something new, if that some
thing is fashion. It would seem that
advanced summer is as opportune a
time fur launching styles as early
spring, if one may judge from this sea
son. Every time society congregates
for sports there is something new in
the way of fashion. It is one of their
pastimes and amusements, this wearing
of the new in dress, as fast as the cou-
turiere can contrive to produce it.
STYLES ON THE FIELD OF AVIATION.
The autgmoliile races and the fields
of aviation are scenes of smartness this
summer. Society is there in full force,
for society must make the most of the
things this land alfords, since globe
trotting is out of the question. There
have been several small meets lately
out on Dong Island, noteworthy from a
view of sports, ns well as fashion.
Many men of prominence have taken to
the air, and their wives and sweet
hearts ami cousins were all there to see
giving a certain completeness to the
costume, which left nothing to be de
sired in style.
It RAID A TRIMMING FOR SILK FROCKS.
Many of the older women and some
of the young girls, too, wore the silk
dresses of faille and taffeta. These
were mostly of the new princess or
coat styles. Braid is much in evidence
as trimming. Wide Hercules braid was
repeated in several models in graduated
rows on the bottom of the skirts. One
model of Hickson's had braid as wide
as five inches. It is rumored that an
other tailor has ordered it eighteen
inches wide; hut, then, this is rumor,
and time alone will tell whether we will
wear it or.not.
MME. LANVIN INTRODUCES THE SWORD-
CORD.
The sword-cord was the feature of
one of the non-militant lufTeta dresses
worn by a womun prominent in New
York society. So modest was the dress,
with its tight basque and full skirt of
blue taffeta, that the cord without the
sword lost its military aspect. Mme.
Lanvin is responsible for the sword-
cord on silk dresses, having shown it
earlier in the season on several taffetas.
Now it takes on various forms and has
been msde in a frog-like ornament for
the side of the new coats.
TURBANS GAIN IN SMARTNESS.
It is interesting to note that wherev
er this glint of the military is seen the
hat is small. The particular model
worn with the costume mentioned above
was small and close-fitting to the ex
treme, topped with a fan-tailed pigeon.
Bows and pliant wings are also em
ployed on the tops of these turbans,
for the turban must have something
high to give it chic. But, when it has
its bow, its wing, or its bird, properly
perched, there is something in its style
unexcelled by the larger-brimmed hats.
SMALL HOYS' SUITS FROM MARINE
The children play an important role
at these daytime fetes. Boys are es
pecially smart in their suits, taken, as
they are, from the army and the navy

and dizzy descents. And, incidentally,
to wear the last word in dresses!
POINTS IN FASHION.
itusl at llie (ifPskhl time this Iasi
word happens to he points, and femi
nine society has taken to it like ducks
to water. Those points must be in the
right place though, and this place is
the lower edge of the skirt. Deep
points and small points all contrive to
show the gorgeous liningBof the skirts.
One of the Misses Bust, who is a dev
otee of aviation, was seen recently at
a meet in a dress of this type. Cut ex
tremely shorl, the skirt showed four
shallow points. This was white linen,
which matched a jumper of the sam<
material, and was worn over a guimpe
of transparent white swiss. The trim
ming was, of course, cretonne, for no
dress is quite complete without it this
summer, but this time it had forsaken
its gay colors and (lowers in favor of a
black-and-white check. To say that
hands and facings of this material on
the white were startling is putting it
mildly; but, then, the points of the skirt
were striking enough to carry otf a con
trast of this kind.
HATS NOW MATCH THE HOUSE DRESSES
This is a season when every dress has
a hat of its own, matching either the
material or ihe trimming. Mias Post'B
hat followed the rule, being made of
the black-and-white cretonne. In its
atraight-brimmed sailor style, low of
crown and tilted fearlessly on the head,
it had a swagger style in keeping with
the sport of airmen.
STOCKINGS CHECKED LIKEWISE.
What hats may do, stockings may do
likewise. Even if they were not of cre
tonne, they had its checks and matched
the facing, the trimming, and the hat.
$52,000,000 Shipped to Reinforce 1
Credit of Great Britain.
New York, Aug. 11.—A special train
carrying $52,Out),000 of gold and securi
ties which had been shipped by the
Bank of England from London by way
of Halifax, N. S., to this city, arrived
here to-day. The train wa3 composed
of several steel carB and was guarded
by forty armed men. Of the total ship
ment, $35,000,000 waB in gold. The
weight was ubout seventy-five tons.
It was said to be the largest single
shipment of gold ever sent across the
Atlantic ocean in one vessel. The gold
was brought over in a British battle
ship, which wan convoyed through the
war zone and across the ocean by a
cruiser and a flutilla of torpedo boat de
stroyers to guard against an attack of
German submarines. The cost of trans
ferring it from London to New York
was estimated to-day to have been
$250,000. It was said that the British
ship brought over not only the ship
ment for New York, but also a ship
ment of gold destined to Canada, whose
treasury recently sent gold amounting
to $135,000,000 to New York.
Secrecy was maintained regarding the
shipment, and precautions were taken
to prevent the German secret service
from discovering the plan or route. At
Halifax it was delivered into the custo
dy of the American Express Company.
When the armed train left that city it
was preceded by a pilot engine. The
route over which the train proceeded
from Bangor, Me., to New York was
kept secret. Robert E. M. Cowie, vice-
president and general manager of the
American Express Company, said the
transfer was the greatest risk ever ta
ken by an express company.
Eight policemen were sent to meet
the train here and guard the gold un
til it was delivered at the sub-treasury.
,1. P. Morgan & Co., of this city, were
the consignees. The purpose of the trans
fer of gold was understood to be to re
inforce British credit here and to im
prove the exchange situation. The se
curities are presumed to be American
bonds, to be used as the basisfor further
advances to the British government.
The gold, one million fifty thousand
ounces, safely reached the end of its
voyage at the sub-treasury, after it had
been carried in twenty-five motor trucks
three miles through the streets under
heavy police guard.
It has been estimated that the war
in Europe will prevent Americans from
spending in foreign countries the usual
$1000,000,000 which is spent in travel.
This money will be kept at home, and a
good deal of it is spent in seeing Amer
ica last. This $100,000,000 covers
merely traveling expenses. It does
not include the money spent on enter
tainments by rich American dowagers
who go in quest of titles for their
daughters, nor does it take into ac
count the millions that are paid for
these titles.
