\ I i‘! ■I f e THB OHABLOTTT NSWS, 2^^1911 I IS nmiiiE White Gloves with Black Stitching, oi Black ^ith White a y^him of Fashion--The Ever Pohular Shepherds Plaid New York, Oct. 26.—Time was when Paris fashions traveled to this country by slow stage. A mode often raged high, then quieted down, and perhaps subsided altogether in that citj’ of dress before it was hailed here as the very latest thing, and the •few and infrequent Americans w’ho traveled abroad were distinctively marked by their old-fashioned clothes. All that is changed now. Our buyers go abroad every year, and many of our beat dressmaking establishments keep a resident representative in Paris, whose duty it is to penetrate the innermost recesses of the shrine of fashion and invoke the aid of light ing, If need be, to flash the news ot late designs to the hither shores of the Atlantic. w'hich they are to be worn. If the incessant effort to keep clean necessi tated by the constant wearing of white gloves is too great a drain on a slender purse. Dame Fashion sanc tions a substitute in the delicately tinted chamois gloves which can be so easily washed at home. These come in musquetaire, as well as short lengths and are exceedingly smart. Deeper tinted tan or light-brown gloves, old time favorites, are also ha\ing a great revival for wear with the tailored suit. If black gloves are worn with the black suit, a whim of thep resent season is to have them stitched or embroidered on the backs wth white, in acknowledgement of the continued liking for the striking combination of black and white. Of course, in any "black and white” year, the good old stock de sign known as shepherd's plaid comes into its own a^ain, and is put on the market in every kind of material, siuk, woolen and cotton. There is a good, sensible reason for the never obsolete demand tor shepherd’s plalci, for it is both dressy and serviceable. Neat and unobtrusive, it vet com mands approval by its really smart appearance especially when skilfuiiy made and well trimmed, either w'ith white or black. The model below shows a jaunty dress made of this popular goods, in the approved semi-princess style so universally becoming. Trimmed, as shown in this figure, with i)ipings of black and the new buttons which show the material encircled by wide black celluliod rings, it is a costume which cannot fail to give solid satis faction. FIGURE ONE. Almost before the Frenchwomen themselves know that they are crazy "nt certain fabrics or trimmings, tboir .\merlcan sisters are disporting tborpselves in like array. Scarecly h! ft the rah'eerams been delivered telling of the rage for changeable taflfp! ) at tl ( races, w^hen the Fifth avenue parade was ashiramer with its glcamlni? folds. Last year dispatches and letters hinted of experiments with a new material called ratine, and almost immediately tentative ui>- pllcatlons of It In the way of collars were seen at fashionable gatherings In the United States. Ratine soon passed the experimental state, how ever, and, almost simupltanecusly in Paris and this country, is riding high on the wave of popularity. What does it look like? Well, It la •ecded and crepy on one side and smooth on the other, for one thing. Ill you can imagine a fine eiderdown with the ends of the fuzz all tucked In, 7t>u will form some idea of its ap- pearance. There are different kinds of it, velonT ratine and chamois ra tine, the foTm»>r, as the name im- pllflS, in velvety undnlationsi, the lat- ler looking something like a twilled stiede. Prom cxjllam and cuffs and dress aoces«orley, ratine has come to be naed for gowns and suits, and well adapted the latter it is, too, for there Is practically no wear out to it. Tl»e velour ratine costa more than th* other weaves, but it is well w6rt1i thep rice, both on account of It* wearing qualities, and because It has that qniet rlejzrance so fit for the sensible American gown suitable for all occasions, from church to after noon bridge party. An attractive example of then se of wilte ratine as trinuning is shown In .the first model. The gown of plum purple broadcloth has the wide col lar and narrow cuffs of the ratine, with border of black silk braid. The white is narrower on the skirt, show- Ing only as a piping above the band of' black which border* the simulat ed tnnic OTerskirt. No more stylish csostume can be devised than this for the variety of occasions on which it Is 'needed by the American woman. laid what are we to wear in gloves this winter? Women everywhere are Es)Eiiic question, for sieves wear oat BO fast that one has to have many pairs in a season and Is thus ioabled to keep up with the chancing faihilons much more easily. White kid gloves for all occaaions still hold iway. Long one* for oTenhig, of Donne, bnt the short, two-bntton Klore for daytime, chiireh, calling, ihepping, where not! Even with dark :ok)red or black dreMes, the white fl(^e is considered chic, a saucy de- Saace of an old oonTentlon which toj^de startling contrasts between lo^ns and glove*. The newer short ' Rrh’ite glores have black stitching or •mbroidery on the backs, and noany , >f ‘the long ones are daintily embrald- |T9d In the color* of the gown with FIGURE tWo. As an accessory to be worn with this pretty dress a clever needlew^o- man can make for herself the indis pensable bag, using some scraps of the goods left over from the gown. Patterns can be had for shaping the bag which is first cut of stiff buckram and covered with the goods and lined. Cord to cover the joining of the two sides, fringe for the buttom, a 'pretty clasp and long cord to hang it from tile shoulder, complete a stylish adjunct which gives tone to the entire costume. It must not be forgotten that the bag this year is as importana a part of the costume as the buttons, or belt, or even the dress itself. In the absence of the pocket so sternly forbidden woman by the modern dressmaker, she must needs carry her small belongings in some kind of receptacle. Ever re sourceful in making a virtue of ne cessity, the woman of today is apply- ingfl her taste and ingenuity to mak ing her bag the “joy forever” sung by the poet.

Milwaukee, Wis., Oct ifc—UrKent ^comendati^a that the NiuonS mans Christian Temperance Union eaniMtfr nn T i 6r- national pro- Ullian ;M. N. Stevens, national president at the S7th annual convention here today St?™n^ by Miss we continue with renewed en ergy to appeal to congress for a law hat will furnish provision for tht p" tection of prohibition territory from through interstate shipment of liquor. legislation to pre- m«iL r® States >, purpose of advertising alcoholic beverages. frt continue to oppose efforts for the restoration of the sale of liquor in the afmy canteen or in any place from which it has been banished. -^ that will forbid issuing tax receipts for liquor sold within five miles o£ any armv post or naval station. That we use our utmost influence to secure laws for the suppression of th# white slave traffic. That we continue our efforts to se cure an amendment to the United States constitution forever prohibit ing polygamy. The speech of the president was a review of all the accomplishments dur ing the last year. After commen ling the German emperor for his temper ance address to the nava 1 cadets, praising Prof. Wiley for his pure food campaign and condemning Secretary Wilson for addressing the Interna- national Brewers, the speaker told in detail the fight by the union to retain the prohibitory law in Maine. “From the beginning,” she said, “we realized that one of the chief dangers lay in the fact that the people of Maine did not know the dangers of the li censed saloon. They had no concep tion of what a saloon really is and they underestimated the power of the liquor forces in the land. The success of prohibition in ivlaine had caused many people to fall into a state of in difference with little realization of the benefits they were enjoying. “I trust this convention will endorse the proposition contained in the pro clamation of Sept. 10 and will work for its leading provision—national con stitutional prohibition. “Upon the convening of congress, Congressman Hobson will introduce a bill for submitting an amendment for national constitutional prohibition and will give to the measure, his hearty, active support. I trust this measure will receive the cooperation ot this Men and Religion Forward Movement and that they will proclaim national prohibition a fundamental remedy for the political, industrial and social un rest of the day. “There has been a report afloat that the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union has changed its attitude in re gard to the anti-canteen law and a let^ ter to this effect has been published, purporting to come from a W. C. T. U. woman. It can be said truthfully that this report is false. The W. C. T. U. will oppose any and all efforts for the repeal of the law. “In common with the great major ity of thoughtful people interested in the pure food movement, we are much gratified that Dr. Wiley, the head of the Bureau of Chemistry, has received the president’s official exoneration. It is a coincidence that while expressing satisfaction at the retention of Dr. Wiley, we are also expressing most emphatically our dissatisfaction that Secretary Wilson rematns a member of the United States cabinet. On first announcement it seemed almost unbe lievable that Secretary Wilson had consented to act as honorary president of the International Congress of Brew ers in Chicago. “It is impossible to disguise the fact that the object of this congress was to promote the interests of the brewery business, and the shabby ex cuse of the secretary of agriculture that the United States was interested In growing barley and hops for domes tic use, has no merit and value except to the liquor business. “Against the well known sentiments of at least half the people, Mr. Wilsori participated in this congress, but this action reprehensible as it was, can not receive the same condemnation it, did the brewery business not have the right to exist in the United States. The recognition given this fact, through the brewers’ congress will not in the end help the liquor busi ness for it has wakened in the con sciences of, the people, a new concep tion of the relation of the United States government to the liquor trade and it will be one of the eyeopening factors that will hasten the coming of constitutional prohibition.” Minister’s Narrow Escape. Peking, Oct. 28.—Sheng Hsuan Huai, w'ho was removed from the office of minister of posts and com* munications as a concession to the national assembly yesterday, had a narrow escape from assassination, here today. He fled to the American legation, whence he was later es corted by a squad of ten soldiers to Tien Tsin.

Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 28.—-Efforts to solve the mystery of Dr. Helene Knabe’s death today parted from the theory of suicide. Evidence supplied to the police by j. C.

A staff of detectives today persist ed in searching among Dr. Knabe’s friends and acquaintances for a clue to the identity of her murdered. YOUNG MAN AND GIRL ABLAZE. One Leaps Into River; the Other is Rolled In a Rug. Chester, Pa., Oct. 28.—With clo.thing aflame, young Martin Donohue leaped into the Delaware river. Employed at the Federal Steel Casting Co.’s plant, he was splashed with hot metal from an open-hearth furnace and the flames ignited bis clothing. He ran to the wharf at once and threw himself over.
