Thrift designs of tho
“after-dinner ring.”
By MME. HAUTE MONDE.
A LACB evening wrap, lined with
chiffon or mousaeline, and
trimmed with bands of white
fur, seemed odd when it was Intro
duced in the hotetst part of the sum

an end these filmy. fur-trimmed gar
ments have a charm which Is irresisti

Suede leather hats are shown In
becoming styles for the motorist. They
are by far the most -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 oared for. They are gener
ally trimmed with stitched bands and
flat stitched bows of silk In a har
monizing shade. One hat, of gray
suede, Is trimmed with dull blue silk.
Another, of tan, is trimmed with
brown.

For the autolst there Isa 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 -split 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 bows 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
down the front from knees to hetns
—so combining two smart methods
of trimming.

Leather and suede are popular for
many of tlie* accessories of woman's
dress One of the newest things is
the wide hip belt—a sort of leather
peplum fitted to the flHre of the hips,
and twelve or fourteen inches wide!
These belts are fastened with ball
and socket fastenings under little
pearl buttons. They ure lined with
silk in self color.

Nat still forma a Mg part of wo
man's neckwear. One of ltd chief
claims to liking It can be so artis

suitable for neckweur combines well
■with net of Borne quality.

The woman who has old clothes to
make over can sttll rejoice in the fact
that several contrasting materials arc
used in most of tho fashionable
frocks. Fvening gowns, for Instance,
can combine velvet, satin and chiffon
or lace; afternoon gowns can com
bine plalded and plain silk, silk and
poplin, silk and charmeuse, and many
other materials.

The scarf sleeve Is a dainty addi
tion to the evening frock. The sleeves,
diminutive In length, are formed of
chiffon, and each continues In a long
scarf which Is caught loosely in at the
waist. The sleeve* and scarf ends
can be either of the same color as the
rest of the gown, or of contrasting
figured chiffon, if the gow n 1* of plain
material.

The tunic’s position In autumn
fashions becomes more and more
itrmly established. With a tunic of
one fabric over a draped skirt of
another fabric no gown can go far
wrong these days.i^/The tunic falls
Just below the hips and !* belted m
at the waist with a girdle or sash.

Lovely little dancing frocks for Sep

Raglan overcoats banging 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
eerge or mohair, or with separate
•kirt» or blouses. The skirt Is usually
short enough to show' the buttoned
boot W et* aoove the instep.

Paris promises the sheerest lace
and embroidery blouses for winter
wear with tailored suits, and here 1*
a typical French blouse for fall, made
by Cristlane and showing the gay
waistcoat of silk, which is Jus-
the craze with cutaway coats
Crlstlane blouse is of tucked
t organdie and varv Hue ma
chine embroidery. Net frill* fall from
the wrints, and the sleeve, tucked at
the low armhole and puffing out be
low the elbow, is very chic. The
waistcoat 1* of black and yellow silk
with hand embroidery In yellow and
white.
That the autumn blouse Is to be a
vc^ry dressy little affair 1h proved by
this new model, which combines two
shade* 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 w r ear
with autumn suits. Brown chiffon is
used In this case over gold chiffon,
and the girdle of brow’n velvet and
silk has a side, vertically posed bow.
The passementerie is black and the
fur dark brown. The touch of creamy
lace in Medici collar and frill* re
lieve* the darker fabrics.

Restaurant frocks for early autumn
wear are accompanied by long gloved
of embroidered silk. The gloves 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 tine,
close weave, and the embroideries ure
done In self-color or daintily con
tracting efft ct. White flesh tint, very
pule buff and tun are the favorite
colors.

The white cornet cover run with
baby ribbon does not show coyly
through the modern blouse, sheer and
lino as is the latter. Such ribbon-run
lingerie is not considered good tuslo
—when visible—these days, and its
place is taken by the lace or tucked
net brassiere on A-hich wide nut In
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 fur 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 silhouette has been in vogue
since May, but In this section of the
country, it Ls only now being adopted
as a general thing. This winter we
shall see all women who aspire to
any degree of la mode adopt the new
silhouette.
One must etand out like a lamp
shade between the hips and knees;
not In tbe form of a pannier, not in
the form of drapery* but In the form
of tbe tunic which is wired to swing
away from the figure and make a
vivid contrast between it* 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 pleat*.
• * •
Tbe women of fashion now have
waists almost as large as their shoul
der*. There are no hips, but the wide
circle formed above the knee*, and
the extraordinary waist line, made
larger by fold* and ruse* and butter
fly bows, makes a woman* feet and
head look like pin points.
Veils Are In Again
Veil weather la coming back again
in America, and with it a big showing
of interesting weaves and design* on
the part of the makers of veil*.
The most interesting of the n*w
veils are imported. Frenchwomen, »t
1* 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 background*
Some of the grounds are of almost
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 thread*. This veiling
is made in both black and white.
These new veils are worn triralv
and snugly fitted pver the hat brim,
and are then drawn over the face,
slat ked a little over the point of the
nos*.* and chin and pulled in in folds
about the neck. They are held to
gether at the base of the hair with
veihuin* or hatpin*.
This Latest Jewel Fad Keeps the
Fingers of the Wearer Stiff
and Costs .
The after-dinner ring!
It wa* a long time corning, but It
1* 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 finger wear, designers in
the "diamond belt” are preparing to
announce the following, so 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 etclusively
for women, and they run from $61)0
up, according to the size of the bank
account. One of them, now being dis
played by a shopkeeper, while bear
ing uo price tag. was reported to be
worth $3,600.
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 and
one-half Inches long, or running so
far up the linger 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. M'o&t of the
women carry it in a small chamois
hag, 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 lias met with up
to this time. There is no tolling 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 a pearl of the first water,
while, in other cases, the ruby has
supplanted the diamond.

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 Hullet, pilot of the

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
then any one else he knows.
The wheat shipping season Is on
and Mrs. Hullet takes the babe with
her and cares for It In the pilot
house while she handles the wheel.

the much abused "press agent” is to
get official status—and from Uncle

sion at that.

uates. In a few weeks the crops will
be disposed of to the students of
Princeton, and the summer work of
the *iix college farmers will close.
Last year a squad of fifteen was
used to tin acres* but this year

Wonderful Black Beaded Silk
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.
She 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.
She also has some high boots in
a cut-out design, the shoestrings be
ing half-inch wide ribbons alternat
ing with bits of clear stocking. The
great charm of such footwear in the
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.

HEAT COMPELS FARMERS
TO THRESH BY MOONLIGHT
LA CROSSE. WIS., Sept. 6.—Moon
light threshing was the rule on the
big farms about LaCroisp, both on
the Wisconsin and Minnesota side of
the river, last night. Threshing crews
have been unable to work In the day
time on account of the Intense heat,
so men and teams slept during the
day, and when the moon comes out
brightly and a cooling breeze sweeps
over the farms, the forces resume
work and continue throughout the

USED SAGE TEA 10
HER FADED OR CRH HAIR
Mixed With Sulphur It Makes
Hair Soft, Beautiful;
Cures Dandruff.
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 thi* simple
mixture was applied with wonder-
J ful effect.
1 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 drug store
> 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 Wyeth’s, which can be depend
ed upon to restore natural color and
beauty to tbe 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. it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied—It's so easy to use,
too. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush and draw it through
your hair, taking one strand at a
time. Do this at night and by morn
ing the gray ha r disappears; after
another applicatioi or two. it is re
stored to its natii: il color and locks
glossy, soft and abundant.

PASTOR USES FILMS TO
ILLUSTRATE LIFE OF PAUL
CONNERSVILLE, IND., Sept. 6 —
A small, sun-tanned boy, living near
the north edge of Connersville, was
the cause of an indignation meeting
here. His name is not known, but
his deeds are. He has coaxed fifteen
children of his own age away from
home in the last three weeks, and
has kept them away whole days and
parts of nights.
The little ones say he callB himself
“Blue Sky Ben,” and that he lives
"just anywhere.” He is not accused
of anything worse than inciting run
aways among children of about Ills
ow’n age, but in that he has invoked
the wrath of parents in Maplewood
on his tow head.

LONDON, Sept. 6.—If the cente
nary of any event lhat helped to ad
vance civilization should be 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 trouyers, 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 speak of trousers
as “breeches” or "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,
was 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 w r as 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 weeks ago the abbo^
of the Monastery of St. Michael, in
the Causasus. refused to supply the
monks with trousers, deeming them
“only a luxury.”

LONDON, Sept. 6.—Anklet stock
ings are the newest fashion freaks for
London’s smart society women.
This fad is a modification of the
jew’eled bands and golden anklets so
popular in a certain section of Pari
sian society. 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
responsible 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.

$
Texas Guinan, Star of the “Passing Show” Company, Offers Her
Own Marvelous New Treatment to Fat Folks
NEW TREATMENT GIVES ELEGANCE OF F1GUREAND 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
As 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 easily passed.
The dressing room was hospitably turned
open by a maid, and then—well, Miss

“So you have come to learn the story
of iny weight reduction, have you?” said
Texas in her breezy style, with her glori

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. j
“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

do a great good, then I will
feel that I have not lived in

"That is exactly it. said Texas, but
I don’t mind telling you what the treat
ment is not. 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 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 fs 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-
merglng yourself ip 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

formu 1 a to carry out. no soaps to rub
on the skin; neither is it a religious
faith cure or Christian Science stunt.
Tt is not a vibratory electric massage
treatment, mental suggestion—no. and
it is not a belt or mechanical device of
any kind.

ishing results. My friends stood aghast
in amazement, marveling at the won
drous change in my appearance. My
fat just rolled away. After the first
three days I noticed it beginning to
leave me. My reduction grew greater
and greater until finally, I was almost
appalled with delight when I realized
the stupendous success of my efforts
and when I awoke to the fact that I
had reduced 70 pounds of my fat without
leaving a wrinkle, and the glory of my
new figure and the grace and beauty
of my curves gave me the admiration
of the world. 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
sca'es 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' unless I could reduce
my enormous weight, and my heart
hangs heavy with the memory of the
fat days that are gone when 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
W fate, and although every one said
Texas, there is no way out of your di
lemma,’ and told me that no fat reduc
ing specialist could reduce mv weight, I
determined not to give up in despair,
with the result that I absolutelv con
quered my 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
