NEWNAN HERALD NEWNAN, FRIDAY, A U G . 20. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR IN AI1VANCK. 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 (p MtCai i. them do their spiral dips, loop the-loops 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. uniforms-trimming. brass buttons and all. One little chap who was keenly interested in watching his father ma noeuver a big biplane wore a white duck suit cut on the lines of the sailor niform, with ong. tlare trousers, sail or blouse, and wide collar. It is sur prising how popular these suits have suddenly become for the younger chil dren. Many of the shops are featuring the suit this little chap wore, cleverly naming it the “submarine.” Whether (he name catches the mother or the child is hard to tell. STYLES INFLUENCED BY OCCUPATION. Both mother and child seein to have gone in for the extreme just at present now that aviation and like sports are uppermost in mind. When they again return to their charities in the fall we may expect a reverse swing in the pen dulum of fasmon. Uncle Mose, a plantation negro, was being asked about his religious atfilia tions.
