THESE ladies have been dining at one of the open-air restaurants in Paris, and are just waiting for their mote;
car. The lady on the stairs has on tunic and long train embroidered in jet wheat-ears and diamonds, at in
tervals all over it. The skirt is a black soft satin, the corsage is in diamonds shaded, from very dark gray
to brilliant white, over a flesh colored lining. She has a silver tissue hat lined inside with bright scarlet and oara
dise plumes, fastened to the crown of the hat with a diamond ornament.
The enchanting little girl in the centre, is in a rose colored taffeta, white striped, with an embroidered
bunch of sane blue feathers, here and there. It is trimmed at the foot with little ruches of silver lave and saxe blue,
and the ornament on the side arc of silver and blue, as is also the waistband. The corsage is of flimsy lace, tied
rcund with a bough of silver tissue. Some brilliant colored flowers with green leaves, are tucked into t i
band. Her little hat is of a very pale shade of saxe blue. Ruches of lace around it and a bunch of flowers on the
side, enhance its beauty. , . . , . ,
The third lady, has on a purple chiffon gown and made of every shade of purple that has ever been heard
cf. red nurple, blue purnles, and embroidered with tubes, of blue and purple. The sash is of sapphire blue. Ihe
corsage is of palest pink embroidered with amethysts and diamonds. The curious ornaments in the front are
mnde of diamonds .-nd torquise, embroidered in pale green satin. Over her shoulder she has an Oriental scarf of
fawny oranre embroidered in all the colors of the rainbow, but in faded tones. The scarf is trimmed with skunk.. On
her head she has an orange turban, and as the lady is very dark it suits her admirably. At the side there is an
CTnge paradise plume, the natural colors of the bird.
T ADY DUFF-GORDON, the famous “Lucile of London, and
foremost creator of fashions in the world, writes each week the
fashion article for this newspaper, presenting all that is newest
and best in styles for well-dressed women.
Lady Duff-Gordon’s new Paris establishment brings her into close
touch with that centre of fashion.
Lady Duff-Gordon’s American establishment is at Nos. 37 and
39 West Fifty-seventh street, New York City.
By LADY DUFF GORDON
(“Lucile.”)
THE extremes of style to which
the fashionable woman is
prepared to go nowadays—
and nights—in the matter of every
item of her attire in general, and
her hats and head iresses In par
ticular. perhaps, would have Filed
us with amazement, or amusement,
if we could have seen seen them,
even faintly foreshadowed, m a ,
magic and modish crystal, say,
even eighteen months ago. But
now nothing seems 'o surprise any
one, and it must he something very
wonderful, indeed, that can create
and concentrate public 1 attention
and interest.
But under this heading there must
certainly come the latest and quaint
est evening head dress, which owes
its inspiration to the famous man
milliner. Monsieur Lewis, whose'
hats most worthily crown any num
ber of New York stage dresses at
both the Adelphi and Daly's in
George Edwards's latest productions
and successes. And it was ar this
latter theatre that the new head
dress first saw the footlights and
made such a favorable Impression
on the feminine members of the
audience (it hgd its full share of
masculine admiration, too. T can
assure you) that it row has any*
number of society as well as stage
wearers.
So you shall have a chance of
'edging of its charms and its per
sonal possibilities. Imagine, .hen.
an absolutely close-fitting cap of
Irish crochet or guimpe lace, be-
; ' - - '
:
neath whose curves in front there
stray a few’ softening strands cf
lightly waved hair, though alt the
rest are jealously hidden from right,
the cap fitting tight over the ears
and into the nape cf the neck- So
far it is just suggestive of a Puri
tanical or babyisn simplicity, but
then its whole aspect is changed by
the piquant contrast of Oriental
splendor in the cnains of pearls,
whose softly shimmering strands
hang in long loops from a central
and shivering circlet of diamonds
which further form a beautiful
base for an aigrette of spun glass.
For a pretty face this is a most be
witching frame, but, oh! I beg of
you, to be well assured of such
prettiness before you dare io adopt
this particular noveltj’ and let it be
the right type of prettiness, too—
that is, of the rather babyish and
ingenue variety, as .he stately, bold
ly featured beauty will be infinite
ly better suited by swathed turban
draperies of mildly hued satin or
shimmering tissue which may, how
ever, be trimmed in the same way.
; e MfiHits lovely little head
Is the model to which I would like
you all to pay the flattery of an
imitation which will vastly improve
your own appearance—and the "set”
of all your hats, too. Only, of course,
if you have large instead of small
features, and a very round, rather
than an oval face, you must exercise
a certain amount of discretion in so
slightly loosening the hair at the
tides s to draw attention from—
rather than to—the contour of the
cheeks. Hair arrangement is in
fact, and above all other things, a
matter in which individualism is the
secret of success, and therefore, no
hard and fast rule can, or at anj

Os course there is another point
about the present and most popular
style of hanr dressing where the
side or centre parting is carried far
down the back of the head and the
rest of the hair is drawn smoothly
downward into a little roll or plait.
It shows up all to plainly, and some
times even painfully, any defects

::: ::: The Injustice of Long Waiting ::: :::

no sooner looked, but they
loved; no sooner loved, but
they sighed; no sooner sighed, but they
asked one another the reason.”
And having asked one another the
reason, it was learned that he wanted
her. and she wanted him. Hence they
became engaged with no more prospect
of marriage than if they had been born
yesterday.
“I can't afford to marry now,” he
says.
“We will wait till you can,” says
she hopefully.
Then begins a period of waiting that
Do You Know—
Captain Williams, U. S. N., who has
charge of the torpedo station at New
port, has intimated to the navy de
partment that the wireless apparatus
is being put to purposes never intend
ed. Instead of being used for official
messages, the apparatus is constantly
in requisition by the young ladies In
Boston to send endearing messages to
the officers afloat. The atmosphere of
the bay, according to the captain, is
charged with ..messages of love, and
the result is that there is an inde
scribable confusion. An official mes
sage is interrupted with the amatory
greetings of “Sweetheart Maggie" to
“Darling Jack."
Hand-painted cards, with emblems
of the guests' status, were used to
mark the places at a banquet at the
Metropolitan club, New York. For the
bishops the cards were ornamented with
a tiny miter, for the naval officers with
small ships and for the lawyers with
the scales of justice.
The family of a fisherman who lived
in the most abject poverty at Beni-
Carlo, Spain, have just become million
aires by the death of a relative who
migrated to South America, where he
made a huge fortune.
Many old houses in Holland have a

save on two occasions—when there Is a
marriage or a death in the family. The
bride and bridegroom enter by this door
and it is then nailed or barred up until
a death occurs, when it is opened, and
the body is removed by this exit.
China's republican dollar will, it is
understood, bear two lions and the
Chinese characters for “one dollar" on
one side, and on the reverse the char
acters “Current Money, Chinese Re

minting will begin at once.
Bathing parties with luncheon served

The New Dresses and
Coats That Forecast
Fall Fashions
The newest Fall furbelow is the Pannier. You can’t get away from it.
You don't wish to get away from it, once you've come within its fascinating
hold.
The Pannier is certainly a marked change from the straight lines of the
past year’s fashions, and yet there is retained all of that attenuative grace
so conducive to slender effects.
The Pannier Dresses have made a big impression on lovers of quaint fan
cies and old-time artistic grace. We are showing them at ALLEN’S in soft
charmeuse, in shades of taupe, blue and black.

The Earliest Fall Coat
The fancy for novelty fabrics is shown in the first Fall Coats—these
having just reached us.
Wool ratine is the new fabric represented, being an exaggerated weave
of the cotton ratine used so much in summer gowns. These new Coats for
street or auto wear are cut on straight box-like lines, and are lined through
out with satin of soft blend, or contrasting color.
They are the fashion for fall and, of course, extremely smart.

is happy and hopeful in the beginning;
more discouraging and irksome if pro
longed, and a great injustice to the
girl when the years pass and the man
Is still not ready.
His Income is small. In an endeavor
to treat her as well as other lovers
treat their sweethearts, he spends on
flowers and chocolates money that
should be laid aside for chairs and
stewpans.
One would not have his gifts differ
ent. A lover who called on his girl
bearing a meat platter in his hand
would be laughed out of the band of
Romance. That would be fatal to his
chances.
Tradition Demands Bonbons.
This is unfortunate, but it is true.
They are saving money to buy such
prosaic things as meat platters, but
tradition demands that he spend that
money on bonbons and bouquets on
the way.
For this reason the ambition for
which both are struggling i.s pushed
farther and farther ahead, and he
grows impatient with the course of
self-denial he has had to map out. And
she sees other girls marry who have
not been engaged as long as she, and
feels cheated.
Things reach the stage where he
would break the engagement were it
not for the fear his friends may think
she has grown tired of him.
And she would break it, but fears
her friends would say he has grown
tired of her.
So they hold on, and sometimes the
engagement that has lasted as long
as five years ends in a marriage, and
sometimes it doesn't.
Sometimes it is a tragedy in either
case. For there are unpleasant com
ments when a couple who have been
Inseparable lovers for five or six years
no longer appear together. In that
time they have given 'each other con
fidences which they would give much
to recall.
And sometimes it is a tragedy if
they marry, because the sweetness of
companionship has all been drained off
in a drearily long engagement.
It happens occasionally that the man
and woman who are waiting are wise
beyond their years, and their pro
longed engagement knows no fretting,
no complaining, no diminution of faith,
no cooling of love.
Such a engagement is Ideal, and the
marriage is the same. But there are
not many so happily conducted, nor
with such happy results.
The Fetters of Engagement.
A long engagement binds with fetters
that are silken at first, hyt that scratch
and tear and bruise and wound in the
end. It is something to be avoided un
less the lover and his sweetheart have
a wisdom beyond their years
It is not just to the girl. The girl

three years finds herself in a very neg
lected and unhappy position when that
engagement is broken.
He has no trouble getting another
girl. That is a difficulty no man ever
has. But she is less fortunate in get
ting another lover.
She has spent the best part of her
youth in waiting for him. Time is so
much kinder to a man that the years
which took away from her attractive
ness added to his.
So I say that an engagement longer
than a year is not fair to a girl. Unless
a man is in position to marry within
that time he should be less hasty about
winning a girl's love and demanding
her promise.
