New York, Oct., 10th.
Afternoon frocks for more dressy
occasions are quaint and becoming
to a degree: many of them look as if
they might have been worn bv
grand dames of the period just following-
the Frenp.h Revolution, with
snouna keep pgjpg a jtt!e a ided dignity.
The taffetas, failles, and velvet fa
vored for these gowns lend them
selves particularly well to the dra
peries now in vogue, panniers,
poufs, and the loose paniels of Wat-
teau's figures.
The tang of winter in the air re
calls us all to the dignity of formal
dinners, dances, teas, and like oc
casions, with their respective de
mands for more formal frocks than
those we have enjoyed all summer

however, that before the close of the

THE DAY OF THE DANCE NOT PASSED
Dancing is still much in favor.
Some charmingly capricious frocks
have been designed this winter es
pecially for the maid or matron who
dances. Many of these are delight
fully youthful and frivolous, one
especially dainty creation nas a
skirt made entirely out of ribbon,
with net bodice, veiling a band of
the ribbon ' at the bustline. Net,
and the daintily colored bordered
chiffons, are much used for these
gowns; also the quaintly patterned
taffetas and brocades so reminiscent
of days gone by. The nets and chif
fons are usually hung over slips of
satin or taffeta, or looped up, pan
nier fashion, over a silver or gold
brocaded setin underskirt.

scheme of trimmings. Many of the
new blouses are made of lace or net,
banded by several rows of moire rib
bon, at the line of the bust, veiled
by7 the chiffon.
DINNER, DANCE, AND BALL GOWNS
Dinner and ball frocks are extreme
ly dainty and quaint this winter.
The pannier, with its graceful dra
peries over the hips, is often accom
panied by a loose hanging panel, and
hung over contrasting underskirts
of figured or flowered taffeta, or
one of the charming embroidered
brocades of the moment, in silver or
gold. Now and then one sees a ball
or dinner gown of black satin, heav
ily trimmed with sparkling jet;
there are many veiled models, too;
taffetas, failles, and satins, veiled
with beaded nets or chiffons. Gray
is nearly as popular a shade for this
type of frocks as for daytime wear;
often it it is combined with black
lace over white most effectively.
Much velvet is used, combined with
satin, taffeta, or faille, or as band
ings for. the cloth frocks which are
quite popular.

was up to its usual standard. The
people enjoyed the antics of the
clowns and the acrobatic and riding
workbf the various actors. Good
order was maintained and so far as
can be learned there were no fights
or disturbances to mar the pleasures
of the day. The usual number of
professional beggars and midway
crooks were present however, wno
extracted from the generous and un
wary their hard-earned cash. ' Only
one performance was given, and
Monday night the outfit pulled out
on their own train fox Spring Hope,
N. C. A representative of the Com
monwealth tried to ascertain the
reason for the cancellation of the
night performance. One of the show
officials said that the jump to Spring
Hope was such a long one that the
train could not arrive there Tuesday
morning soon enough to unload for
the parade and another reason ad
vanced was that the tax rate at this
point was too much for the circus.
The concensus of opinjon. was that
one performance w?aa a great plenty
for he. people of this section.
