Aug. 30. -It’s too bad that Mrs. Herbert (.’lark, who arrived on the Mauretania to play in '‘Oh, I Say,” didn’t know that America is much interested in slit and X-ray skirts or she would have worn the best instead of the most modes! gown that she has in the filmy, diaphanous line She obligingly posed, however, in “the modest” gown, which was slit to the knee, while the ship’s news re porters wondered what the one she declared “stunned” those who looked at it might be like. There were plenty of other frocks of tHe filmy variety on board, and the wearers vied with each other to see " ho could don the most startling cos tume.

Tne canary and the sulphur tones are also fashionable, particularly for trimming and where merely a dash of color is required.

Fashion Born at French Watering Places Attains Sudden Vogue in English Capital. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, Aug. 30.—Home ravish ing costumes in violet and white have been alien at the smart French water ing places, and I^ondon copied them almost the next day, with the result that brides-elect are choosing this color eornbination for some of their troussfau gowns. Miss Glencoats, one of the great English heiresses, who is marrying Major Parsons next month, is having a charming gown made for casino use, and with it a very original hat will be worn. Something Like Jockey’s Cap. To take the violet velvet hat first, it is copied from the First Empire snd bears some resemblance to a jockey’s cap, but the up-to-date mil liner has broadened the crown and brim and turned back the latter in order to show a circular pleating of violet tulle. A hand and embroidered buckle in a similar velvet surround the waist, and shoes of the same material are worn over violet silk stockings. Buttons and Scarf Worn. The dress is in white linen, with the lower part of the Jacket worked In raised white cotton. Large motifs of Irish point, outlined with narrow cord, are incrusted in square Here.* starting from each shoulder, and a a insertion of Valenciennes heads thi wide hem of the skirt beneath a dou* hie row* of mother-of-pearl buttons. A scarf in violet chiffon completes this pretty dress. There is a < raze at all the fashion able resorts for oval white felt hats. These are very simple and easily packed. Necklaces Used on Hats. The hats can be made extremely attractive with a trimming of black velvet ribbon, tied plainly around, with two short ends furnished with white or silver tassels, but some smart women have gone considerably further, and now adorn these simple hats with red, blue or green necklaces in uncut stones. Others, very young ones, trim the hats with baby ribbon or garlands of the tiniest flowers. SKIRTS FOR MEN BATHERS, NOT WOMEN, SAYS LEADER MADISON, WIS., Auk, 30.—H. D. McChesney, swimming instructor at the University of Wisconsin. in charge of the Brittlngham Park bath ing beach during the summer, thinks men should be censured in the mat ter of bathing garb more than wiv men. “I think men should be compelled to wear bathing suits with a short skirt,” he said. Riot of Exotic Tints Prevails in Fall Offerings—Nothing Un der $400 at Worth’s. Special Cable to The American. PARIS, Aug. 30.—Paris has gone color mad if the general effect of the first display of fall fashions may be summed up in a single phrase. The great makers of women’s costumes are rejoicing at this development. Goods in colors have never been so heavily bought as at present, which is regarded as a healthy sign of busi ness. The name of the Russian artist Leon Bakst is heard on all sides. Many goyms are named after e >8- tum^rs which he has mounted, espe cially at Callot Soeurs’. This house, as usual, was the last to show its styles, but when it did it outcolored all the rest. The pisanelle, its most gorgeous evening gown, which is | named after D’Annunzio’s play, is a dazzling arrangement or derangement in green, with amethyst Jewels and j silver brocade mysterieuse. About $20 a yard wholesale is not an-unusual price for the materials for wraps, while $6 a yard for double j width silk velvet is considered a mod- j erate price. More ample draperies I are being used, and this makes the manufacturers happy. Skirts of satin with knife pleats held in place all around please them very much, as do also the longer coats which Cherut and Poiret are showing. Sorr? of these reach to the ankles. Paquin also nas long coats of Louis XV style with gorgeous waistcoats. ITemet’s wide girdles that pull down over the hips with no break at the waist line are much admired. Pre- met’s show pieces with a wired pan nier on one hip caused much com ment. Fallot Soeurs’ waist line is pulled up in front higher than ever. They retain the narrow 6kirts. Most of the other houses show longer waists. The skirts are given volume by quiltings of ribbon. Flounces and laces are not unusual. Entire lace tunics of filmy draperies are other prevalent features. Shimmering metals brocaded on brilliant colors promise a winter of gorgeousness which has rarely been surpassed. Added to this is the In evitable fur trimming. All the known furs and furs that one never heard of before are used. In Worth’s ?%*deeorated salons $400 has been made the minimum price for any gown. Prices generally, how ever, are thought to be somewhat less exorbitant than heretofore. England to Provide Silks, Ireland Linen, Scotland Tweeds, and Wales Corsets. Special Cable to The American.

Faracias, employed in the shipping department of a local wholesale grocery, in the form of a combination trouser and skirt suit. ”1 have worked for the company for many years,” says Mrs. Faracias. “In that time I have become con vinced that the business woman should adopt a mode of dress as severely plain as that of man.
