An Attractive Bathing Suit HU GIRL
B LATK watered silk parasols are
very popular thla year The
handles are always elaborate:
very often they are exceedingly coat-
ty. Carved Jade is one of the latest
materials for parasol handles; and
finely carved quartz Inset with old
paste is also much used. And while
speaking of Jade I must not neglect
to say that small bracelets of this
stone are the "clou” of the moment.
These little bracelets are slipped on
over the wrist and two or three Hr*
worn at the same time
The millinery of the present sea
son Is admirably picturesque. Quan
tities of tulle and lace are being used,
immense capeline shapes are com
posed entirely of pleated tulle, cloche
shapes are covered with fine black
lace. Everything is done to obtain Old
World effects. The leading milliners
are haunting the famous picture gal
leries of Paris in the hope of finding
fresh and unexpected ideas.
• * •
It 1s now the fashion to open the
corsages of lace and muslin gowns
Intended for day wear In a gene-rous
V which ends Just above the waist
line. Certainly, there is a chemisette
underneath, a chemisette of exqui
site fine lace or of embroidered mus
lin. In some cases, but this become
more and more rare, a gulmpe of
cobweb tulle is worn. Tn addition the
sleeves of afternoon gowns are fre
quently transparent. In many cases
they are exceedingly long, reaching
to the wrists and well over the hands,
but they are almost always transpar-
ent.
• • •
A one-piece f»crge dress is useful,
especially In the mountains, where
the weather is cool and the climb
ing is rough. It can be made in Peter
Tom % style for younger women, or with
a sailor collar applied to a simple,
front-closed, one-piece frock for old
er women. It shoujd have a skirt
with ample fullness about the ankles.
This fullness can be arranged
gracefully, bo that the skirt still re
tains a straight look; one of the new
outing skirts has the fulness but
toned under the side seams in the
forms of tucks, which can he un
buttoned when necessary. Heavy
soled tan shoes, with medium heels,
or white canvas shoes of substantial
make, are the most comfortable for
climbing, and tramping, as well.
• • •
In some of the newest underwear,
crepe de chine and lace are closely
combined. One new style of night
gown, for instance, shows a shadow
lace yoke and sleeves, with a skirt
of crepe de chine, edged with lace.
Underbodices, made entirely of la^e
and ribbon, are often attached to crepe
de chino petticoats. Chemises, too,
of crepe de chine, show deep insets
and shoulder straps of lace.
• • •
The newest tunic is of purely Flor
entine shape. It has no sleeves and
it Is short, being fastened at the
waist by a belt of glo\» kid studded
with precious stones. The hem of
such tunlcg should always be slight
ly stiffened, as the whole success of
the garment depends on Its outline.
The skirt should be cleverly drapeu
and very dinging, while the short
tunic should stand out at the sides.
* * «
The newest parasols are either pa
godas in outline, which is to say ex
aggeratedly domed; or they are al
most flat and bordered with heavy
fringes. Many of the new parasols
have little Jointed handles. In the Old
World style, and nearly all show
large bows of velvet or satin ribbon
somewhere on the handle. The fiat
shapes are sometimes exquisitely em
broidered in the Japanese style.
* • •
Tapestry belts of this order look
extremely well when worn with coat
ees of black taffeta or black watered
silk; the faded colors of the tapestry
being repeated In the hat trimmings
or in the embroidereiea displayed on
collar or revert.
• • »
A decidedly smart neck finish can
be made with two lengths of one of
the full dotted net ruchings which
are sold by the yard. Get twice enough
to go about the neck of the frock.
Join the two pieces together with a
band of black velvet ribbon, arrang
ing one ruchlng to stand upright
about the neck, the other to go the
other wav. The effect is graceful
and easily produced.
The vogue of the yoke is amazing.
Scarcely a gown appears without the
transparent inset of net, lace or tulle,
and it is a fashion becoming to ev
ery face, contributing a softness of
line which is always desirable. The
phases of the yoke are many, being
round, square. U or V shaped, and it
is fashioned of all transparent ma
terials, from priceless lace to inex
pensive maline. It Is tucked, shirred,
pleated or fitted smoothly over the
neck, and seldom appears with a high
^collar.

j broad g rdle of Dresden ribbon
ippeal to many girls on account
Bv Olivette.
T HE scalloped bathing suit is one of the Summer’s fancies.
The little dress we portray has a foundation of gray satin,
trimmed in plaid satin of gray and Geneva blue. The suit
opens down the front and is trimmed in self-buttons in a double I
row down its full length. The deep scallops at the bottom are I
bound in the plaid, and in turn the scalloped swallow-tailed red-
ingote of the plaid and the upper sleeve is made kimono fashion
and is a continuation of the gray satin yoke which has little half-
inch tucks in groups of three. The neck is cut in a modest V and
is piped, yoke fashion, in the plaid.

sprigged ribbon softly about the \vai*t

wide satin ribbon and. gather it at
each edge, drawing the thread as

ribbon fashion a bowknot and adorn

Alan Dale Finds “Dancing Mis
tress” Dull as Ditch Water,
but Beauty Stuns.
BY ALAN DALE.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, July 26.—They say
that a gayety girl is born every
minute, and I don’t doubt it. Also(
I don’t doubt that "Governor”
George Ed wardes has need for
twice as many as nature supplies.
You know exactly the style he
wants—the gentle, purring, listless,
lissome, Edna May-like, languid,
delicate, wistful, pensive, reluctant
and Christmas card type. No other
type goes in London.
The average American type is not
at all popular. Sometimes some
fervid critic and impassioned re
viewer asserts that she is. Well, I
assert distinctly—she isn’t. She
must conform to the above require
ments. "The pink lady” sirens, for
instance, were very harshly criti
cised for being loud, not reluctant.
All of which is neither here nor
there, except to illustrate the fact
that in “The Dancing Mistress” at
the Royal A del phi Theater we see
another of those tilings—formless,
chaotic, invertebrate and unintelli
gible—that depend entirely on girls.
Malone Arch Girl Setter.
In this case she is “set” by T. A.
E. Malone, George Edwardes’ arch
est and most insinuating girl setter
(he came over to New York to
set the "sunshine girl” at the Knick
erbocker Theater) to a "book” (so-
called) by James Tanner, to lyrics
(alleged) by Adrian Ross and Percy
Greenback, and to music not at all
up to the usual standard of that de
lightful tune manipulator, Lionel
Monckton.
It doesn’t matter in the least.
“The Dancing Mistress” may be as
dull aa.ditch water (which it is. and
the comparison is rough on the vi
vacity of ditch water); as incom
prehensible as a Sanskrit legend,
and as lacking in humor as a comic
weekly, but it is a success for all
that. It is so beautifully girled in all
the dresses of the wardrobe.
Miss Dare Much Postcarded.
The leading girl at the Adelphi
now is little Phyllis Dare, who has
taken the place of Gertie Millar.
Gertie has been switched to Daily’s,
and of her more anon, and some
other time. Little Miss Dare, who
is very much postal-carded, is al
most terribly pretty.
Her prettiness amounts almost to
a fault. She is pale and blonde, arid
thinnish and dainty, and ob, so
wistful. She seems, to be yearning
all the time.
She looks out upon a "sea of
heads” in the audience as though
she were scared to *#cath, as though
she were saying, "Oh, please be
good to ydur little Phyllis, for she
is such a timid little puss."
Sometimes this is very effective.
It all depends upon your mood—
sometimes it is very irritating. You
feel that if you opera-glassed her
too severely she would swoon be
fore your eyes. All of which is. of
course, but a pretty little illusion.
Mi's Dare is by no means new to
the business and is really self-
possessed.
In "The Dancing Mistress” she
has one very pretty song with Jose
phine Coyne. They are on skis in
Switzerland, and of course * you
know What a ski i< If vou don’t
I’ll tell that it is a sort of elon
gated skate. Little Phyllis and Jo
sephine Coyne do this remarkably
well. It is one of the very, very few
things in "The Dancing Mistress”
that are worth while. You wake up
for a minute or two from the deadly
apathy into which the*eventlessness
of the proceedings has plunged you,
and you fee! tempted to applaud.
Prettiness No Boon.
Another London favorite in "The
Dancing Mistress” is Miss Graoie,
Leigh, a very clever and delightful
little woman who isn’t pretty for
one moment, and who is therefore a
positive relief. Anybody who isn’t
pretty in "The Dancing Mistress” is
a joy. Anybody who Isn’t pretty
seems daring and original.

looking face of her companion. And I derful.
It would be a difficult task to give i
even a slight summary of the con- {
trusting styles that are in fashion
this summer, but if you have clothes j
to make, it is well for you to know |
that your day frocks may have tulle
collars to the ears or a V-shaped dec- |
olletage to the bust, full elbow sleeves
or long mousquetaire ones, a short
skirt, or one that hangs Japanese
fashion, for three inches on the floor i
You may wear a girdle from hip to
bust, or a one-inch leather *belt, the
skirt may he draped up in the back
and down in the front, or the other
way around; and yet, notwithstand
ing the laxity of styles, there are cer
tain ways of doing things that mak J
every gown right and another way
which makes them wrong.
* • •
The variety in waistcoats is very
satisfying to the woman who can not
wear the masculine type. They are
made of satin brocade, of Oriental
crepe, of Chinese and Japanese em
broidery, of striped silk, of flowered
taffeta and figured crepe. Some arc
like blouses and are intended to serve
as such when the coat is removed.
They are open in the neck, quite loose
and soft, are fastened in a straight
line down the front with fancy but
ton** and have unusually large arm
holes with sleeves that go to the
wrists. This kind is belted at the
waist with a narrow girdle of mate
rial or contrasting velvet ribbon, and
there is a breast pocket which often
holds a small handkerchief with a
small colored border.
never was "make-up” more artistical
ly or skilfully done than at the pres
ent time. The thickly pow'dered face
with its intensely roughed cheeks and
heavily blackened eyelids is a specta
cle of ever greater rarity. Instead,
any gathering of women In full
hair toned
nd nature—
‘‘he* k.<* w ith a pleasant healthy glow
which only an expert can dectect as
make-up; hair no longer uniformly
tinted to Titian shades, hut adaptc 1
to the face It frames, while grey hair
is becoming less and less of a draw
back and being put forward as an ad
vantage. Perfectly white hair for the
elderly woman is as much sought
after to-day as was the rich golden
ten years ugo.
Miss Grade Leigh Is a capital
dancer, and Miss Grade Leigh has a
sense'of humor. She has a Scotch
dance to offer that—like the ski
number mentioned above—rouses
you from your torpor.
A very plump Frenchwoman, pro
grammed as Mile. M. Caumont,
works so hard that she almost fa
tigues. She is relied upon for comedy,
and she isjnerciless in her efforts to
secure it. Her role is not at all a
funny one, and not even a pretty
one, so it is just as well that no
English lassie takes it.
"The Dancing Mistress,” I fancy,
aims at "The Quaker Girl,” but it is
really nothing of the sort—nothing
of any sort. It is a beautifully
staged, girled and appointed blank.

LONDON, July 26.—Society folk in
variably look to the stage for "ad
vance fashions.” In the new farce
written by Harold Smith, brother of
F. E. Smith, the great politician, Some
charming gowns are worn. Miss Mary
Forbes, in act one, wears a simple
mauve frock, with touches of black
at the neck and waist, and a turn
over collar of lace.
And one of her gowns is of white
silk, with which she wears a short,
knitted tiger#yellow coat, striped with
black. A Neapolitan hat of knitted
silk, in the same shade of yellow, Is
supplemented with a black satin bor
der.
One of Miss Brough’s dresses is a

and caught with a huge black braid
motif.

and falling away in front, to show the

D AINTY, durable draperies of pret
tiest designs are displayed by
Davlson-Paxon-Stokes Compa
ny this week. Every character of
drapery material Is shown in pristine
freshness. Voiles, marquisettes, scrims
and cretonnes make an alluring pic
ture of decorative possibilities.
The downstairs section is proving a
most attractive one, for it is here that
Davison-Paxon-Stoke? show how to
reduce the cost of living.
In time of heat prepare for cold.
This was the thought of the J. M.
High Company when they inaugu
rated an August blanket sale several
years ago. It has now become an an
nual opportunity to buy blankets at
reduced prices. The August sale in
cludes furniture and bed linens, and
will be a delight to every home lover.
The Keely Company is introducing
the fall models of the American Lady
and Lyra oor. c, ets. Nothing is quite so
important as the proper corset, and
these new models indicate the cos

When in doubt as to which dress is
appropriate.*buy a new one. This is
the most sensible advice that could be
given, if you go to M. Rich & Bros.
Co. for the dress. For $9.85 you can
buy fresh, dainty, summer dresses
which were priced at. $15. $17.50, $23
and $23.50. There are 127 dresses, in
cluding linens, creoes, lingeries, rati
nes and voile? 1 . Never did the women
of Atlanta look preittier than during
this season. Thank Rich’s for another

Joe Welch will be the headline of

pied a high position in vaudeville for

Welch has made a life study of the
real Hebrew, and has ifiade the char
acter stand out. His stories are orig
inal and clever and have never failed
to win the mo.M enthusiastic attention
and the most appreciative applause.
Robert L. Daily and his company
are scheduled as another feature on.
this bill. Daily will appear in a
comedy arrangement called "Our Bob”
and will have every opportunity to
prove that he is one of the best com
edians in the profession. He is a
brother of the never-to-be-forgotten
Pete Daily, apd is the same sort of
entertainer that famous Weber and
Field star was*. He has been identified
with some of the best comedy and
musical comedy offerings in New
York, and is now in vaudeville be
cause of the great demand that man
agers had registered for his services.
O’Brien. Havel and company, in
their new comedy playlet, "Monday,”
promise another good comedy treat
O’Brien is a clever comedian, and
Arthur Havel is a splendid entertain
ing juvenile. Miss Valeska, who is in
the act, is a pretty girl of unusual
cleverness as a dancer.

edy gymnasts; Carl Cress, a novelty
painter, and Elsa Ward and others
will appear.
