The rad of White Mourning White mourning, which has been gaining ground for months, is a sen sible fashion for the sultry days of August, and Is worn more naturally now than it was in the winter and spring. Then it attracted attention, and was therefore shunned by many women of conservative taste Now. when all the world wear* white—all the American world, at any rate—■ white crepe and other mourning fab rics are inconspicuous. The woman who wears white mourning must remember that she must wear nothing but white. White and black in no wise Indicate mourn ing. and no matter how many attract ive frocks she sees which combine white with black, she must remember that white mourning must be all whit e. The use of white mourning crepe for trimming should be as cautiously indulged In us that of black. Too much crepe suggests showiness. But as for trimming material, and one of the few allowed to the women In mourning, crepe holds an important place At Least That's the Opinion of London Writer in Discussing Craze for Display. (ireek and Orient Combined in Costume; More for Drawing Hoorn Than Street. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, Aug. 9.—Since a woman ! correspondent in The Times wrote .it length of the “orgy of undressing” among women it has been rather amusing to note the different theo ries put forward by men and women In newspapers to account for the feminine fashion to wear fewe r </othes. Side by side with comment I for and against on the craze for | "leaving off" have been remarks on j the daring character of modern modes and the airy fashions that obtain for i women. Stockings of diaphanous silk, slash- ' Digs and liftings of the skirt to dis- ! play the leg halfway to the knee. showing every movement, and the I low necked afternodn frock with a V shaped opening filled with filmy lace have al] been under discussion. One correspondent suggested that ; women were engaged on “an extensive ; advertising campaign.” Two women writers have referred respectively to “the return of the prude" and "the triumph of common sense." while a third has taunted men with regretting the passing of the petticoat because there is for the male no piquancy and mystery about the tight skirt. Man prefers, she implies, the filing provocative skirt. The most novel explanation, how- ever, is advanced by Mr. Godfrey Dean in The Daily Dispatch, which no other has yet offered. "The explanation is,” lie writes. ‘ "that the woman-feminine, as I may so call her, finds it necessary—owing j to the changed attitude of men toward women brought about by militant ; suffragism—to distinguish herself by a definite display and assertion of her essential femininity from the woman ; suffragist, or at least, the suffragist of advanced or militant opinions. "I do not for a moment think that in thus calling on masculine attention by making the most of her physical I charms the woman-feminine is act ing deliberately on conscious thought. ‘ >n the contrary, I think this alluring display of feminine curves and form by means of transparent and clinging gowns is sub-consclously Inspired by the events of the last twelve months I or so. which have made men more critical of women. "In her natural repugnance to being mistaken for what she is not—a suf fragist—the woman feminine is dis playing her charms. She cannot very well wear a label; she cannot very well declare herself to strange fellow ! travelers for what she is; but she can | and does endeavor to distinguish her self from women of whose conduct I she disapproves. "The more the woman suffragist I asserts herself the more necessary it j is for the woman-fern!>^e to assert herself. It is woman’s silent duel, and dress, or should I say undress, is playing a big part in it. ' Kneeless Stocking Now California Fad Pasadena Society Women Emulate Example of Co-eds of Leading Eastern Universities. PASADENA, CAL, Aug. 9.—Emulat ing the fair co-eds of some of the lead ing Eastern universities, a number of Pasadena society women are now wear ing the kneelesR stocking and the custom gives all promise of becoming the fad in thp Crown City’s smartest set before the opening of the coming winter social season. The ‘‘kneeless stocking" is nothing more or leas than men's half hose. and. according to those who have discarded the ordinary long feminine stocking, so much comfort and satisfaction is being derived by the wearers of the kneeless hose, which comes no higher than the calf of tiie leg. that it is doubtful if they ever return to the usual style of stock ings worn by the fair sex. With the adoption of the new fad, men's furnishing stores In Pasadena have had a rush of business in half hose,' w ith the fair sex of Pasadena the pur chasers. At the department stores the finest grade of men s silken hosiery is being shown, with the bright colors most in demand. Among those who have discarded the full length for the kneeless stocking none are more enthusiastic over the superior ity of this style than Mrs. J. Marcus Rothlngwall, president of the Pasadena Pansy Club. $16,500,000 Gems in Buckingham Palace Extraordinary Precautions Are Tak en to Protect Jewels Against Burglars. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, Aug. 9.—King George has a great idea of his responsibility»in re gard to the Jewels at the various royal palaces, and from time to time has them recatalogued and revalued. Those at Buckingham Palace were recently^ as sessed and declared to be worth $16,500,- 000. It is said that there is scarcely an ob ject In the whole collection with which the Queen is not familiar. New meas ures safety have been adopted and it would now be impossible for the clev erest burglar in Europe to make an en trance without attracting attention. An electric alarm was recently added. The police guard around the palace has also been increased. Net and Lace Are in High Favor Right Now—Telling Effects in Black and White. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, Aug. 9.—However over elaborated may be the fashions as j worn by the “Upper Ten,” the women | of the stage nowadays set the exam ple of being always appropriately dressed, whether the function be a river picnic or a race meeting. Some of the frocks seen on the up per reaches of the Thamei'are par ticularly attractive. One greatly ad mired gown was of white voile, worn by Miss Cooper, with a close a Hover pattern of blue and a center panel of fine embroidered batiste, with the un dercollar and pipings of a darker blue. The prettiest black velvet bows finished both the neck and waist. Another of dainty pink had broad insertions of embroidery and a black suede belt, while a third was of Pais ley voile in blue and fawn. Still an other, perhaps the prettiest of all, was of white Irish linen with insertions of lace. The lower half of the skirt and the front of the bodice were in broderie Anglaise, and again there ap peared the chic black belt and bow. Blouses have become more diapha nous; net and lace are all the rage Just now, some specially pretty frocks having touches of black on collar and jabot, while others of white French voile are most fascinating. Slit Trousers Man Mobbed by Newsboys j W. Leffllngwell Doak, of Pittsburg, a Martyr to the Cause of Fashion. PITTSBURG, Aug. 9.—A martyr to fashion, VV. I.eftingavell Doak, of the ! North Side fashionable set. was thi* afternoon mobbed by newsboys in Pifth avenue when he appeared in slit trousers. Mr. Doak's trousers were of a light check material. The slit extended from the bottom of the legs on the outside to within about six inches of the knee. A glimpse of bright green hosiery, of the long feminine variety, was disclosed. Mr Doak carrtet a light bamboo cane and a handkercMef was tucked in the cuff of hi« right sleeve. He was the first follower here of the style predicated at the Nn- tional Convention of Tailors at Cedtr Point, Ohio, last week. Doak bore the clamorings of th< boys until they began to kick him lr the shins. He called for a policeman, ami when one appeared the boys scat- tered Doak took a car, announcing that he would go right home and change his clothes. $350 for a Dress Held Not Too Much Mrs. John Francis Yawger, Promi nent Clubwoman, Thinks Sum Is Not Extravagant. Should a woman be considered extrar. agant because she spends $350 for a dress? Mrs. John Francis Yawger, sec retary of the Federation of New Yor; Women’s Clubs and member of man; other civic and social organizations, does not think so. "When a woman spends large sums of money on her personal appearance she is reflecting as much credit on her husband as on herself," says Mrs. Yawger. "If her husband can afford to allow her to pay $350 for a dress the public has no call to de scribe the woman as extravagant.” The latest Parisian 1 gown for wo men. the “Harem,” is here. It is illusive, alluring and bewildering, this gown of cobwebby tissues which is worked out In an exquisite maze— the color of California poppies drip ping with dew the dew being illus trated by quantities of the finest cut crystal trimming. The Princeae of Arabian Night fame may have worn some such a costume when she weaved the various legends which saved her from being tied in a suck with three or four raging cuts and tossed into the Bosphorus. The gown, which combines the most ultra of Parisian modiehness with the languor of the orient, is not planned for street wear, it is rather for the drawing room or boudoir. Sheer and transparent voluminous trousers disclose white silk stockings heavily embroidered in brilliants. The trousers are not gathered at the in- s f #p. but edged with the eame crystal tr *iiming which falls over extremely high-heeled, cloth-of-gold slippers. The only note of contrasting color is in the draperies of the bodice. The gown has its greatest charms when the wearer is seen in silhouette against a brilliant light. Then there is all the grace and beauty of the Greek dancing figure. These same costumes, made up in more opaque and darger materials are being worn on the boulevards and in the cafes of the French cap- Dal. But it is not expected they will become of general vogue in America. Many Lives Saved As Train Is Ditched Forethought of Towerman Averts Crash Between Specials by Tak ing Chance on Tragedy.
