By MME. HAUTE MONDE. • v <3ITE wonderful for one who will f 1 own to being mature is a pansy parasol. This has a deep bor der of the flowers on white taffeta silk. Above this is a wide band of black velvet and above and on the ferrule is the plain white taffeta. It is made on a gilt frame, and Juft the r’iht efTect In contrast is given by a plain ebony handle. •• • • • “Vanity veils’* are open mesh, wash able white veils which are decorated with one "beauty spot" of chenille in black on their otherwise plain surface. Some of the spots are diamond shape and others round. There is some va riation among them. For example, the spot is occasionally supplemented by a rhinestone set in a circle of black chenille. • • • This season has witnessed a re markable revival of Interest in the leather belt, which had decidedly lan guished for several years. White em broidered linen belts have practically disappeared, for the reason that they fail precisely in the one requisite cf contrasting color In their place we now have the white leather belt, with colored leath er either applied or inset in long geometrical designs; or else we have colored leather belts from one to six inches in width. ♦ • • • Tulle and butterfly bows are the fa vored fad for hat adornment at the present time. These nows are im mense in height and width. They are invisibly wired and great art is shown in manipulating the big wings ho that they may curve over the crown of tl% hat and yet stand high. • • • In Paris now no woman may ba considered really modish unless she wears a sash, and the wider and soft er the sash is the smarter it is. Cal- lot Soeurs have brought out a certain sash that has scored a great success, and shadowy suggestions of this Ca!- lot sash may be noted on half the* summer girls at American resorts this season. The Callot sash is of black silk, preferably a ribbed Bengallne weave, and is very wide and very soft. It is drawn in crushed folds around the torso, rather below the waistline than directly over It, and ties at one side in a loose knot, short ends fall ing over the skirt to the hip. • • • White and cream net waists grow more and more airy and prettier to look upon. A new' model is of blonde net. which is Just creamier than white, yet not having a tin™ of eerj. There are really two blouses of the blonde net—one mounted over the other so that the effect is very soft and airy. * • * A revival of the ancient nightcap In a greatly modified and improved style manifests itself this season In the fashion for boudoir caps. A fa vorite style is the boudoir cap mad * of spotted muslin, close fitting to the ears and edged with lace. An inser tion of satin ribbon round the edge, finishing with a bow at the nape f the neck Is expected to match the dressing gown. • • • The floating veil is amazingly pop ular. There is n gre.it art in ar ranging and wearing these long veils. To look well, they must be pinned on j the hat as though they were going to cover the face, and then they must he carefully thrown back and allowed to fall loosely over the shoulders, or more correctly, over t-ne shoulder. • • • In Paris they are making a specialty of white tulle waistcoats, little sleeve less garments which givc< an air of extreme distinction to a simple linen suit. These waistcoats are Hometirnes set in fine tucks and bordered with a fiat ruching. sometimes they are made of two thicknesses of tulle and left plain, with a border of washing silk In white or some very pale color. • • • For garden hats or for morning wear at the seaside the most favhion- able hats are those made of rougn natural straw in the "canotier” or sailor shape, or the same shape cov ered wdth fine linen in two shades. White linen canotiers lined with pale blue or pale pink linen look well when accompanied by a floating veil in pale tinted chiffcn. Everything is done to bring about picturesque, extra femin ine effects. • • • Smart, simple and sellable are the outing hats this season. The practi cal aspect of outing millinery has not been sacrificed to the elegant e which was aimed at, and which has un doubtedly been achieved. A shady panama lined with black velvet is among the newest models, and bids fair to become popular with the hab itual “out-of-doors" girl. White felts are also in vogue, while of straw models the new moire tagal is found practical. • • • Half a dozen different coatees or mantlets can be w'orn with the same robette, and endless variation* can he arranged with the Introduction of finely embroidered sashes which pos sess heavily fringed ends. The cor sage portion of these robettes is quite plain, almost like a fine corset cover. It is made plain expressly, beenus^ the great object is the introduction of dainty lace and net blouses and pic turesque coatees or mantlets. When accompanied by a shady hat In leg horn trimmed writh pale roses ami black velvet ribbons. these little dresses have a special cachet. Many of the latest summer models are almost entirely made of white muslin, richly embroidered in the openwork English style. These dresses are accompanied by broad sashes and short coats of real lace. The hats worn with them are exaggeratedly "picture" in outline. The brim is al ways wide and the crown almost hid den behind immense butterfly bows >f tulle or lace. For occasions of cere mony leghorn and Tuacan hats are trimmed with sweeping ostrich feath ers in white or pale pastel tints. • t • The vanity case has found mnnv resting places since it was taken from the dark corner of the shopping bag. The latest is in the handle of an um brella. The handle is of ebonine, and the vanity case is inserted in the top. There is the mirror in the top of the cover, the tiny puff and the Incase ment for the powder. The case Is fin ished in various ways, silver plate, gilt or gunmetal. • • • Ribbon-trimmed hats, by the way, an enjoying a surprising vogue at present. They will probably never oust those trimmed with aigrettes and paradise, but for the moment they are very chic. The foundation of the hat Is almost lost sight of under the generous bow of ribbon, which may be poised In the front, at the side or In th' hark. The front trimmings are very well liked at the present time, and a large bo v perched on the front of the hat will have loops shooting out at various an gles The very tall loop" at the hack of the hat have not been abandone 1 by any means. Longer Draperies Will Heighten Effect of Women’s Costumes During Coming Fall. Special Cable to The American. LONDON. Aug. 2.—In spite of royal protests and the protests of the puri tanical, women’s skirts are getting tighter and more diaphanous, while the slit is rapidly extending beyond the knee. It is true the skirts have longer draperies, but these only ac centuate their closeness to the figure and the display of outline. For autumn wear these skirts are being tailor-made and fastened down the front, but leaving a space, shaped like a large inverted V. open at the bottom. Dark colors, dove or suede shades are to supersede the present bright hues, while velvet and plush will be seen in the more dressy cos tumes. With freer display of ankle a like exposure of neck is promised, bodices being cut lower, both in back and front. A futurist effect is given by some of the coming costumes, which have a plain coat with a skirt of a loud check pattern. In some cases this .‘••cheme js reversed, the skirt being plain, while the jacket is of loud checks. It is obvious that nothing but stress of weather will make women cover themselves completely again. They are satisfied that they were never more becomingly attired and never before have their clothes attracted pu much attention from men; which is conclusive proof of success. 6-Year Search Ends; Finds Girl in France CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Judge McKin ley was given an exciting half hour when the case of Mrs. Mary Burke, uing Dennis W. Burke for separate maintenance, was called up before him vesterday on the husband's motion to have their two children taken away from her. She screamed at Attorney 1 . D. O’Meara, representing her husband, when he told the court she was not entitled to the custody of the children because of her conduct. Mrs, Burke Invited him to "step out Into the hall,” and her Invitation was seconded by a woman friend, but she was restrained from attacking the lawyer by court attendants. Would Send Chilean Boys to U.S. Schools Minister of Foreign Affairs Proposes That Government Pay Ex penses of Students. <C>1 itfcws sEprtcC Diaphanous Frocks Surely there is no prettier picture than that made by the young girl of to-day in one of the fetching nut frocks. The hard, tight lines of a few years ago have been banished by the sofier curves which are now allowed to assert themselves in the corset less. or apparently corsetless, figure of the lithe young woman of these happier days. The slouch, which threatened to gain a certain vogue earlier in the season, has fortunately not become popular, and the girl who would be considered chic holds her self erect with a natural grace sug gestive of perfect health and a well proportioned body. The gown, wheth er made of lace, net or chiffon, is mounted over a foundation of silk or charmeuse. with a veiling of net to bring out the design of the lace. or. in the case of net. to give a more airy, diaphanous effect. Perfumed Rows Have you noticed fetching bows of satin peeping through the lace of a lingerie blouse? These bows have a deeper purpose than that of deco ration. Pretty as they are, they are constantly giving forth a delicious fragrance, for each of the padded loops Is ucented with sachet pow der. The sachet used is scented with one of the popular bouquet odors, and is particularly lasting. There are stunning roses scented I with the saint fragrance which add i an effective bit of color to any cos tume when thrust carelessly through the sash or belt These roses ar made of satin and have the long stein and foliage. The scent, the shape and the color make them an exceller imitation of the real thing. Cold Storage Dinner Is Planned for 5,000 Nothing but Refrigerated Product* Will Be Served at Unique Banquet to Delegates. CHICAGO.

A clear brook, a big. spreading tree, under which to pitch a tent, and an open fire were all the bridal i»alr asked of nature's hotel manager. “Highland Fling” Skirt, Showing' Knees of the Bather, Is Worn at Long Beach. NEW YORK, July 29.—Popularity of the bathing beaches, notable this year, has put the fashionable modistes to thinking. They recognize that now they will have to use the same in genuity and originality in bathing costumes as they do In evening gowns. As a result some startling sea dresses have been created. For instance the dressmakers know that society i9 keen for swimming in the summer, but is naturally not fond of aquatic pursuits when the frost is on the pumpkin. Swimming in the summer results in sunburn, whether the swimmer stays in the water or merely takes absent treatment on the beach, but sunburn is not appreciated by young women who will appear in evening gowns during the winter season. So the dressmakers have created a bathing suit with long sleeves and the belles can now swim and heed not the sun’s rays. One of these suits was seen recently at Southampton, j It was worn by Miss Louise Edey, I daughter of Albert R. Edey. An other striking costume, indicative of ' the masculinity that is so pronounced in all fashions, was worn by Miss Katherine Steele, daughter of Charles Steele, and a sister of Nancy Steele, the fiancee of Devereaux Milburn, the hero of the American polo team. It was of pantaloon pattern and after Its first appearance was adopted by a number of the bathers. Probably the most original bathing suit, though, was seen at Long Beach and was worn by Miss Marion Baker. She calls it the “Highland Fling" suit and she describes it pretty well with that name. The suit is a plaid, while the bare knees are show r n between the tops of the stockings and the skirt.

PARIS, Aug. 2.—Charity has be come fashionable here and the honors for this year go to Countess DeBearn for her original way of getting mono.» for a deserving cause.

She is beautiful, as well as rich, Her famous charity fete was made up of living picture.?, which also moved. These moving human pictures were seen In the ballroom of her magnifi cent townhouse in the Avenue Bos quet. This Byzantine mansion was filled with groups of dancers costumed In different periods of French history. On entering, one feasted his eyes upon a group of dancers of the time of the Consulate; Bonaparte and his Con sular Court were there. The leading ladies of this group were the Princess d'Arenberg, the Marquise DeBrantes and the Countess Veil DeCaatel. When enough had been seen of (he Consulate costumes, a party of pretty women frisked Into the ballroom, tak ing their places. These were of the time of Lout? Philippe and were robed in the floating gowns of that bour geois period. An American led this group. She was Princess Guy Fau- cigny DeLuclnge. formerly Miss Nati- ca Perry and later Mrs. Stickney.

Here the Countess Jean DeSegouzac wa? leading. If the Empress Eugenie saw this scene she would think she was enjoying her triumphal career again in the Tuileries. The Countess was the belle pf the ball. Tight Skirts Cause Lower Car Steps Chicago Railways Orders Change to Accomodate Women Who Pro test Against Existing Height. CUTS NEW TEETH AT 72. BLUEFIELD, W.
