LONDON, Aug. 9.—Since a woman correspondent in The Times wrote at 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 fewer Rothes. Side by side with comment for and against on the craze for “leaving off” have been remarks on the daring character of modern modes and the airy fashions that obtain for women. Stockings of diaphanous silk, slash ings and liftings of the skirt to dis play the leg halfway to the knee, showing every movement, and the low necked afternoon frock with a V shaped opening filled with filmy lace have all 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 flting 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,” he writes, “that the woman-feminine, as I may so call her. finds it necessary—owing to the changed attitude of men toward I women brought about by militant suffragism—to distinguish herself by i 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 ' charms the woman-feminine 1r act- i ing deliberately on conscious thought. On the contrary. 1 think this alluring display of feminine curves and form by means of transparent and clinging gowns^is sub-consciously inspired by the events of the last twelve months | or so. which have made men more I critical of women. “In her natural repugnance to being mistaken for W’hat she is not—a suf fragist the woman feminine is dis playing her charms. She cannot very j well wear a label ; she cannot very well declare herself to strange fellow i travelers for what she is; but she can and does endeavor to distinguish her self from women of whose conduct she disapproves. “The more the woman suffragist asserts herself the more necessary it is for the woman-fenii^< ; «* to assert herself. It i» woman’s silent duel, and dress, or should I say undress, is playing a big part in it. Many Lives Saved As Train Is Ditched Forethought of Towerman Averts Crash Between Specials by Tak ing Chance on Tragedy. Kneeless Stocking Now California Fad Pasadena Society Women Emulate Example of Co-eds of Leading Eastern Universities. l PASADENA, CAD, 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 kneeless stocking and the custom gives all promise of becoming the fad in the Crown City’s smartest set before! the opening of the coming winter social season. The "kneeloHs stocking" is nothing more or less than men's half hose. and. according to those who have discarded the ordinary long feminine stocking so much comfort and satisfaction is being fierived by the wearers of the kneeless hose, which comes no higher than the calf of the leg, that It is doubtful if they ever return to tlie 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, with the fair sex of Pasadena the pur chasers. At the department stores the finest grade of men’s silken hosiery is being shown, withi 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 Rothingwall, 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.—However over elaborated may be the fashions as 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 Thames are par ticularly attractive. One greatly ad mired gown was of white voile, worn by Miss Cooper, with a close alloVer 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 vglle in blue and fawn. Still an other, perhaps the prettiest of all, was of white Irish linen with Insertions of lace.

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 w’hite French voile are most fascinating.
