TFEAttST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, OA.. SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1913. Now It’s tlie ‘After-Dinner Ring’ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +••!• Aj,»+ *;•••!• WOMEN DON IT AETER THE LAST COURSE Thro* of the “after-dinner ring.” By MME. HAUTE MONDE. A LACE evening wrap, lined with chiffon or moussellne, and trimmed with bands of white fur, seemed odd when It was Intro duced In the hotetst part of the sum mer. Now that summer Is coming to •n end these filmy, fur-trimmed gar ments have a charm which Is Irresisti ble • • • • Sued© leather hats are shown In becoming styles for the motorist. They are by far the moat sensible hats for motoring that have yet been designed. They fold as compactly and conve niently as silk hats and do not wrin kle so easily. They can be made In dustproof colors and so are durable and easily cared for. They are gener ally trimmed with stitched bands and flat stitched bows of silk In a har monizing shade. One hat, of gray auede, Is trimmed with dull blue silk. Another, of tan, Is trimmed with brown. • • • For the autolst there fe a dainty au tomobile veil sold. It costs two and a half dollars. The veil Is made from a piece of chiffon perhaps a yard long. It Is spilt through the center for half its length and the raw edges are hemmed. The end is bunched up and fastened under a button of gold braid In this way a sort of cap, with two ends to tie under the chin, Is formed. The button goes right In the middle of the forehead, and the fullness ac commodates the hair. • • * Buttons and bow* are to share the work of trimming this autumn. But tons are still much used for trimming tailored suits. And bows are used as they have not been used for years. One French frock shows a long tunic of white chiffon, with bows of blue ribbon extending from neck to knees. The satin undershirt has a double row of small white satin buttons dowr, the front from kneeB to hems —so combining two smart methods of trimming. • • • Leather and suede are popular for many of the accessories of woman’s dress. One of the newest things Is the wide hip belt—a sort of leather peplum fitted to the flare of the hips, and twelve or fourteen Inches wide! These belts are fastened with ball and socket fastenings under little pearl buttons. They are lined with silk In self color. • • • • Net still forms a big part of wo man's neckwear. One of Its chief claims to liking It can be so artis tically combined with any sort of lace. Baby Irish, Valenciennes, sha dow, Lierre or any other sort of lace suitable for neckwear combines well with net of some quality. • • • The woman who has old clothes to make over can still rejoice In the fact that several contrasting materials are used In most of the fashionable frocks. Evening gowns, for Instance, can combine velvet, satin and chiffon or lace; afternoon gowns can com bine plaided and plain Silk, silk and poplin, silk and charmeuse, ami many other materials. • • • The scarf sleeve la a dainty addi tion to the evening frock. The sleeves, diminutive in length, are formed of chiffon, and each continues In a long . fcarf which is caught loosely In at the waist. The sleeves and scarf ends can be either of the same color as flu* rest of the gown, or of contrasting figured chiffon, If the gown is of plain material. • • • The tunic's position In autumn fashions becomes more and more firmly established. With a tunic of one fabric over a draped skirt of another fabric no gown can go far wrong these days. JR he tunic falls Just below the hips and is belted in at the waist with a girdle or sash. • • • Lovely tittle dancing frocks for Sep tember week-end affairs are of tulle, slrily shirred over colored silk. Tulle dancing frocks were excessively pop ular a generation ago, when every debutante came out in clouds if snowy tulle, ami there is assured v something especially youthful and lovely In the diaphanous white stuff when worn by graceful young girl hood. • t • Raglan overcoats hanging In straight, mannish lines, or belted per haps only across the back, are more fancied by young women who keep up with snappy styles than the belted Mackinaw coat. These cozy raglan coats are worn with simple frocks of serge or mohair, or with separate skirts or blouses. The skirt is usually short enough to show the buttoned boot vets aoove the Instep. • • • ^ 7are many beautiful flexible •racelets. But the prettiest new bracelet is made up of fourteen sec tions hinged together, seven resem bling posts as the other lengths do intersecting fence. They are set with ftriH blue w hite diamonds In hand - somely cut platinum of most intricate design. • • • The tear-drop LaVallleres, with three to five drops In a straight line, arc fashionable. Each stone Is en circled in a circular platinum or gold setting. • • • Paris promises the sheerest lae<- and embroidery blouses for winter wear with tailored suits, and here la a typical French blouse for fall, made ^by Cristiane ami showing the ga\ waistcoat of silk, which 1- ju»* the craze with cutaway coats Crlstiane blouse Is of tucked Lie organdie and vary fine rna.- , Butterfly Bow Now Latest Fashion Fad Its Dominant Note Appears Every where and In Odd Places—Made of Black Satin. ENGLISH FIRST chine embroidery. Net frills fall from the wrlMta, and the sleeve, tucked at the low armhole and puffing out be low the elbow, Is very chic. The waistcoat Is of black and yellow silk with hand embroidery In yellow and white. That the autumn blouee is to be a very dressy little affair Is proved by this new model, which combines two shades of chiffon, cream lace, velvet and satin ribbon, some handsome silk passementerie and a yard or so of skunk fur. Two colors of chiffon, one over the other, achieve a very soft, harmonious effect, which is no table In the new blouses for wear with autumn suits. Brown chiffon is used in this case over gold chiffon, and the girdle of brown velvet and silk has a side, vertically posed bow. The passementerie Is black and the fur dark brown. The touch of creamy lac© In Medici collar and frills re lieves the darker fabrics. • • • Restaurant frocks for early autumn wear are accompanied by long gloves of embroidered silk. The gleven are often drawn off In the theater now •—always In the restaurant—and the silken glove Is much easier to pull on and off than the one of kid. These silk gloves are of exquisitely fine, close weave, and the embroideries are done In self-color or daintily con tracting effect. White flesh tint, very pale buff and tan are the favorite colors. • • • The white corset cover run with baby ribbon does not show coyly through the modern blouse, sheer and lino as is the latter. Much ribbon-run lingerie Is not considered good taste —when visible—these days, and its place Is taken by the lace or tucked net brassiere on which wide satin ribbons are mounted frankly as a trimming Home of these sheer blouses have slips of flesh-colored chiffon beneath, which gives a sug gestively transparent effect without being really transparent for thin as it Is chiffon In two layers Is really not transparent At all. • • • The New Sil houette In Paris and other fashion centers the new Hllhouette has been In vogue since May, but In this section of the country, it Us only now being adopted us a general thing. This winter we shall see all women who aspire to any degree of la mode adopt the new silhouette. One must stand out like a lamp shade between the hips and knees; not in the form of a pannier, not In the form of drapery, but In the form of the tunic which Is wired to swing away from the figure and make a vivid contrast between Its slimness and the width of the outer line. When a woman’s figure can not stand a straight line around it she must dip the tunic down at the back, and If she cares not how large Is her waist measurement, she will raise it for two inches at the front waist line, and arrange it in two box pleats. • • • The women of fashion now have waists almost jus large as their shoul ders. There are no hips, but the wide circle formed above the knees, and the extraordinary waist line, made larger by folds and roses and butter fly bows, makes a woman’s feet and head look like pin points. • • • Veils Are In Again Veil weather is coming beck again In America, and with It a big showing of Interesting weaves and designs on the part of the makers of veils. The most Interesting of the new veils are Imported. Frenchwomen, it is said, are not paying much atten tion to veils this season, but Ameri can women always like them. They are called ’‘novelties.’’ Like many new things, this “novelty” veiling Is expensive—partly because it Is well made. The mesh is of rather heavy cotton threads, woven together to form lacelike patterns on various sorts of backgrounds Home of the grounds are of almo#i tullelike fineness, and some are lined heavily with threads running parallel to each other, all In one direction, from end to end of the veiling. Home have checked backgrounds, squared off with heavy threads. This veiling is made In both black and white. These new veils are worn trtmlv and snugly fitted over the hat brim, and are then drawn over the face/ slacked a little over the point of the nose and chin and pulled in in folds about the neck. They are held to gether at the base of the hair wi vellolne ur hatpins. This Latest Jewel Fad Keeps the Fingers of the Wearer Stiff and Costs . Vl’Mk The after-dinner ring! It was a long time coming, but it is here at last! New York Jewelers are working their heads off to-day In a desperate effort to fill the demand for them from fashionable women folk along Fifth avenue. With the success of the latest freak In feminine ttiiger wear, designers In the “diamond belt” are preparing to unnounce the following, ho that mi lady will be well taken care of, no matter when she dines; The after-breakfast pearl ring. The after-lunch ruby ring. The after-tea opal ring. The ring Is designed exclusively for women, and they run from $. r >uo up, according to the size of the bank account. One <»f them, now being dis played by a shopkeeper, while bear ing uo price tag, was reported to be worth $2,500. A small lost advertisement inserted in a paper recently led to the dis covery of the new fad In feminine adornment. It was the smallest kind of a small “ad.” reading as follows; Diamond setter, while working, dropped diamond after-dinner ring out of window; liberal re ward. “Oh, the diamond after-dinner ring,” said a Jeweler. “Yes, it Is some thing new in its line. It Is put up In several designs, the majority of them, however, being of a plain gold band, with a diamond shaped top measuring in some instances one ami one-half inches long, or running so far up the finger that it covers the first Joint, compelling the wearer to keep her finger perfectly straight all the time. “Its name suggests when It is worn, although some women prefer to wear It before dinner. None, how ever, according to etiquette, must wear it during dinner. Most of the women carry it In a small chamois bag, fastened Inside their corsage, when they appear for dinner, but im mediately after the final course, place It on the finger and wear it during the rest of the evening, “If It was something new In the atricals It would be called a ’hit.’ That is the best word 1 can think of to fit the success It has met with up to this time. There Is no telling how far the fad will go before It drops into the past.” The number of stones In the after- dinner ring run anywhere from thirty to seventy-five, of various sizes and cuts, with a large diamond, larger than all the rest, nestli**g In the midst. All the stones are In platinum setting, which adds considerably to their brilliancy. Many of those who have already purchased an after-dinner ring have had the larger center diamond re placed with ji pearl of the first water, while, in other cases, the ruby has supplanted the diamond. Mother With Baby At Side Pilot’s Ship Captain of Mississippi River Grain Steamer Does Not Interfere With Wife. ST. LOUIS. Sept. 6.—With her three-month-old babe lying In a bas ket in the pilot house beside her, Mrs. Mary Jiullet, pilot of the steamer Mary, brought the little steamer in to the Alton port with 2,600 sacks of wheat aboard. Captain George Hullet was aboard the steamer commanding It, but he did not give any orders to the pilot when the steamer turned Into the Al ton wharf, for he says his wife knows more about landing the little steamer than aity one else he knows. The wheat shipping season In on and Mrs. Hullet takes the babe with her and cares for it In the pilot house while she handles the wheel. Wonderful Black Beaded Silk j Opera Cloak Is Ordered on Visit to France. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, Sept. 6.—Lady Randolph Churchill, who Is taking the cure at Aix les Bains, halted long enough in Paris to order some very striking winter frocks. Among other gar ments, she is to have a wonderful opera cloak of the new black beaded silk which carries a remarkable de sign in black velvet appliqued in re lief. Hhe ordered also an evening gown of black granule chiton slit up to the knee and made with a very full draped overdress of copper brocne with threads of gold. A copper and amber girdle encircles the waist. Ordinary boots and shoes are prac tically things of the past in smart circles in Paris. Lady Randolph has some fascinating examples of the new footwear, including white satin shoes, fastened with a broad black ribbon, criss crossed and giving a sandal ef fect. Hhe also has some high boots in a cut-out design, the shoestrings be ing half-inch wide ribbons alternat ing with bits of cleai^stocking. The great charm of such footwear in thi eyes of women who wish to be ex clusive is that such dainty shoes can never become popular, being suited only to a woman with an automobile. Lady Randolph also has experi mented with the new fashion of pow dering the hair, which has now at tained a vogue in Paris, the hair being slightly sprinkled either with white or gold powder, but this she has decide! to forego, declaring she is sure it will not be adopted.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its nat ural color dates back to grandmo ther's time. She kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance thin simple mixture was applied with wonder ful effect. But the brewing at home Is mus- sv and out of date Nowadays skill ed chemists do this better than our selves. By asking at any drugstore j for the ready-to-use product—called “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy”—you will get a large bot tle for about 50 cents. Some drug gists make their own, which is us ually too sticky, so insist upon get ting Wyethls. which can be depend ed upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known downtown druggist says his customers insist on Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur, because, they say.

Celebration Suggested of Great Event That Helped to Advance Civilization. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, Sept. 6.—If the cente nary of any event that helped to ad vance civilization should b£ cele brated, why should not the one hun dredth anniversary of the introduc tion of trousers into England or, if you please, the introduction of Eng lishmen’s legs Into trousers, be so dignified? Just 100 years ago Englishmen be gan to wear trousers; before that every man clad himself in knee breeches or what are nowadays called “knickerbockers.” This is almost equally true in America where, however, many per sons are prone to **peak of trousers as “breeches” ffr “pantaloons” to ig nominious “pants.” Everybody in America knows it would be an ab surd anachronism to picture George Washington in trousesr. The word “trousers,” when it first appeared in the English language, wap used to denote the nether gar ments of the ancient Irish, “trews.” It is, perhaps, significant that in the early part of the nineteenth century women and girls wore garments reaching (to the ankles called trousers. Some militant suffragettes, it seems, wish to revive the fashion now and “wear the trousers.” Beau Brummell was one of the first to wear trousers. They were skin tight and buttoned at the ankle. But even to-day trousers are not recognized as a perfectly correct part of a gentleman’s evening dress at many courts. Knee breeches are re garded as much more aristocratic. Only a few weekst ago the abbot of the Monastery of St. Michael, in the Causasus. refused to supply the monks wdth trousers, deeming them “only a luxury.” WILL CONTAINING 6 WORDS IS ADMITTED TO PROBATE MATCH CHUNK, PA., Sept. 6.—Prob ably the shortest will ever made In this State was admitted to probate here to-day.

The new dainties are of black silk with a wide band, embroid ered in blue, green, yellow or purple silk, encircling the ankle. The advent of the slashed skirt Is responsibfc- for the changes in hosi ery. The shorter the skirt the bright er the stockings. One enterprising dealer has brought over from Paris dainty hosiery with Jewels slashed around the ankle, the sparkle and color being plainly seen through the thin silken dresses. As much as $200 is asked for a pair. These are made of fine gold tissue and real lace. Chantilly and Mechlin be ing the popular fabrics.

OF FAT Texas Guinan, Star of the “Passing Show” Company, Offers Her Own Marvelous New Treatment to Fat Folks NEW TREATMENT GIVES ELEGANCE OF FIGURE AND STARTLING RESULTS QUICKLY If You Are Fat and Want to Be Thin, You Can Reduce as Many Pounds as You Desire by This Astonishing New Method A a Texas Guinan had to perform at the matinee it seemed the easiest thing in the world to arrange an interview without consulting her. The vigilant stage doorkeeper was easi'y passed. The dressing room was hospitably turned open by a maid, and then -well, Miss Guinan, that Is, what is left of her, ap peared. "So you have come to learn the story of my weight reduction, have you?” said Texas in her breezy style, with her glori ous countenance beaming In smiles at her supreme gladness, realizing how ap preciative the world was In bestowing admiration and applause upon her, all on account of the new glory of her form which she trans formed almost as If by magic with ,her own marvelous new treatment. ‘‘While you are not going to get away with my secret,” said Texas. “It is true that my seventy pounds of weight reduction was brought about with my own delightful treatment, but it cost me a pretty sum of money to learn it, and I am not giving mv secret of how I lost my weight free to re porters, but I have written a book telling all about this won drous new treatment which rescued me from the thralldom of fat. This book has Just come off the press and is offered free to fat burdened men and women, as I early learned In life that the only way to know happiness was to give It to others, and If by letting the world know of this harmless, quick meth od of reducing weight I can do a great good, then I will feel that I have not lived In Va *‘But won’t you give me an Inkling of Its component parts?

It does not consist of in ternal drugs or medicine; there Is noth ing to take Internally. Neither Is there any pink colored camphor water, or worthless, harmful stuff to rub on the body. There Is no sweating, no band ages, no Turkish baths. The treatment does not consist of a single exercise or physical culture of any description. There Ts no diet. One may absolutely eat all the food they desire of any kind, and go right on reducing without depriving themselves in any way. “There are no enemas or flushing of the colon, no harmful massaging, no sweating garments to wear, no im- merging yourself In hot baths with the tub filled with obesity water or epsom salts, nor does it Include any medical concoction of any doctor, and it has nothing to do with any drug store pre scription to have filled. There Is no formu 1 a to carry out, no soaps to rub on the skin; neither is It a religious faith cure or Christian Science stunt. It is not a vibratory electric massage treatment, mental suggestion—no. and It is not a belt or mechanical device of any kind. “I have tried many such fakes.

I enjoyed the triumph of my life and the success of my whole career when my manager, Mr. Shubert, on account of my glorious new figure, made me the star of the ‘Passing Show,' and, mind you. this very same manager had said I was doomed to oblivion just a short time before when I tipped the scales at two hundred and four pounds. I was crushed and bewildered when he told me he could not give me a part in the ‘Passing Show’ uqless I could reduce my enormous weight, and my heart hangs heavy with the memory of the fat days that are gone w’hen my fat, ungainly figure made me realize that I was doomed to despair and failure. "My success in reducing my own fat proves that there is no such word as ‘fail.’ I simply would not be resigned to my fate, and although every one said lexas, there is no way out of your di lemma,’ and told me that no fat reduc ing specialist could reduce my weight, I determined not to give up in despair, with the result that I absolutely con quered mv fat. My new, great book on obesity, which gives full particulars of my simple, safe, quick, harmless fat- reducing treatment, is now ready and will be sent free to all who wish to re duce their weight any number of pounds. It Is simply astonishing the furor this new treatment is causing among the i. intimate friends of Miss Guinan to whom * she has given it.
