Attractive Autumn Modes
New York, August 20.—When the
trying days of July have passed and
the sheer frocks of organdie and voile
have served their purpose of keeping
many cool during the intense heat, and
although they are still appreciated for
their admirable effort, they are given
second place In the thoughts of their
owners and they gracefully abdicate
their lofty position in favor of the new
fall styles.

When women found themselves
working in canteens and standing the
most part of the day. they Immediate
ly came to the conclusion that higt
French heels were not the last word
in comfort. So they wrapped up their
pride completely in their wiser Judg

so comfortable and desirable that their

Never have women considered their
clothes from the angle from which
they now scan their wordrobe. As
most are doing war work, many pre
war non-essentials such as conserva
tion, practicability and cost are now
dominant factors in the determinatijn
of the extent and quality of one’s wear
ing apparel.
Another Conservation Measure.
A wise person once said, “There’s
tlwaya a way,’" and Dame Fashion
found it by combining materials of silk
with wool to reduce the quantity of
the latter in a dress to its minimum.
And promptly to the rescue came the
loose-flowing panels which are de
veloped in woolen material, with the
greater part of the dress,' jhe waist;
skirt and sleeves developed in some
silk or satin fabric. And, indeed, those
panels are quite the most graceful fea
ture sanctioned by fashion. They tend
to give long, slender lines to those
who have net that tendency In their
figures; in short they are an Ideal
camouflage. The dress Illustrated is
ieveloped In navy blue serge with
black satin; a combination of high es
teem In the prevailing dictates of la
mode.
Re-Appearance of Draped 8klrts-
History repeats itself, and I’m sure
fashion does the same. For lo! the
draped skirt Is with us again. The
smartest women In Paris feel increas
ingly at home In this graceful adapta
tion of the long, narrow, tapering sil
houette. Lucile is showing an excep
tionally good-looking afternoon dress
In gray and red brown marqulsett ?,
with a collar and vest of white organ
dies, and the skirt is draped up tight
on the left side. The peg-top is an
other phase of the draped skirt which
Is being shown extensively just now.
This particular style seems to have a
saucy individuality about It which sort
of solicits then defies your attention.
Somehow one must be piquant to wear
It. A pleated panel of contrasting ma
terial at the front of the skirt trims

adoption was instantaneous and per
manent. So popular have they proven
Tendency Toward The Peg-Top Effect,
that one sees the mexclusively for
street wear and even with afternoon
dresses, with high heels making their
appearance only at some particular oc
casion.
Simple Coiffures.
-Oh, the joy of a season of straight
smooth, hair dressing! The woman
who is not endowed with curly locks
appreciates it to the utmost. Gone
are the woes of curl papers and hot
irons. She may now arrange her hair
without the slightest difficulty apd al
ways look well. Only those who can
not pcssibly wear their hear other
than waved should cling to the cos-
tume. High coiffures are favored and
the loose pompadour is appearing
again. The uncovering of the ears
is an excellent opportunity to display
attractive earrings. The shops are
showing some very odd and clever de
signs and stones unheard of before
are making their appearance.

That these Skirts ^are so attractive may be traced to
the fact that they conform so closely to the new sil
houette. The effect of plainness is not obtained by lalck
of novel features but rather by the skilful use of them
in the form of pockets, overskirts, sashes, panels and
tunics.
The fabrics lend themselves perfectly to the new
lines that have been decreed—satin, taffeta, poplin,
twill, tricotine, velveteen, wool jersey and serge. All
in all, we don’t think you’ve ever seen skirts that give
greater promise of becomingness to you.

Paris, August 19.—The Spanish note
to Germany relative to the sinking of
Spanish vessels by submarines consti
tutes an ultimatum, since the Spanish
government announces that a German
vessel interned In any Spanish port
will be seized for every Spanish ship
torpedoed, according to a Havas dis
patch from Madrid quoting the A. B.
C. of San Sebastian. This informa
tion was given the A. B. C. by a "high
political personage.”
“We regard it a very natural duty
for the government to protest ener
getically concerning every case of
torpedoing our merchant fleet and if
Germany does not give the satisfaction
due, we should reach the position
which the country's honor calls for.”
