The Redfern model I have sketched this week Is very novel anil original in design and yet It is comparatively simple, writes Idallu de Villlers, Paris correspondent of the Boston Globe. This robe, intended for afternoon wear, Is typical of present-day styles. It possesses uII the elements that go to make up a successful toilette of this wonderful year. In the first pluce the general outline of the little gown rather suggests an evening costume. The neck Is cut round, in generous fashion, and the k sleeves are very short and transparent, yet tills is the kind of dress that Is worn at the big race meetings and at all outdoor festivities, accompanied by a big picture hat and—more prob ably than not—by short gauntlet gloves. It Is, in fact, a genuine 1919 model. The material of this costume is black and white foulard—large white spots on a black ground. There Is a suggestion of pannier draperies at the sides, and at the hem the supple ma terial Is so cleverely arranged that it gives something of the Turkish trouser effect. Then the waistline is long, and what the French cull “vague,” that is to say, It is loose and ultranatural. I recently saw a very similar dress worn at an Auteull race meeting, but the material was midnight blue char meuse, with a dainty chemisette of flesh-pink orgadie muslin anil a thick blue fringe on the draped tunic. Strikingly Original Costume. The neck wus cut round, almost like the Redfern model, but the sleeves were even shorter. Very long pale gray suede gloves were worn and an Immense pule gruy felt hat, lined with black chip and trimmed with a cluster of black sutln water lilies. It was an amazingly original costume, taking it altogether. Nearly all the best race gowns of this season have closely resembled eve ning dresses, that is to say, they have had decollete necks, short sleeves and fllmy draperies. It Is not ut all easy to distinguish between day and eve ning gowns Just now unless one makes a careful study of materials. It Is not considered correct to wear metallic brocades In the duyttme nor paillettes unless the latter he skillfully Inter mingled with tine silk embroidery, but very many of the best and most ex pensive race dresses are richly trimmed with Jet and steel fringes and _ . . with embroideries worked In Jet steel and moonlight heads. It Is as I have said a wonderful year, and it must he admitted an ex travagant one. Never have I known money spent so freely ns at the pres ent moment, and by the most unex pected ppople. As to the prices of the Paris restaurants—especially those situated In the Bols de Boulogne—It is enough to make one gasp with horror; one has Indeed to think, not twice, but many times, before inviting a few friends to afternoon tea at an out door restaurant. Paris Profiteers Busy. Of course. It Is true that prices are high everywhere, and for everything, but that does not account for the ut terly outrageous prices that are now f being asked in Purls for simple arti cles of food and of dress. People In sist that the mischief has been done by rich young soldiers back from the front, who have not hesitated to muke “a big splash." There may be some truth in this,but It is not all the truth; some people are making huge profits over the necessi ties of the hour, ami u day of reckon ing will surely come. ---:-1 At the big race meetings we have seen a great many picturesque wraps, which suggest delightful things for the autumn. The quaint Manon cape, full and voluminous, is still a strong fa vorite. It is made of satin or peau de soie and lined throughout with the softest duvetyn, in some pale neutral i tint, or a vivid color, such as rose Du harry or leaf green. A black Manon cape, lined with pale 1 beige duvetyn, is a precious posses sion. It is warm, picturesque in out line, becoming and cozy. The Paris iennes, especially our smart young ac tresses, wear these loose cloaks with immense grace and charm. They have a clever wuy of drawing them in at the hem to give the trouser effect shown in the Itedfern sketch. Gorgeous Evening Wraps. For Biarritz and Deauville, for chil ly evenings, similar wraps are lined with bright rose or green velours de laine, and a special feuture is made of the big Manon hood. These cloaks will lie worn in the daytime, too, over lnce and linen dresses, the loose fronts thrown back and the cape hood falling off the shoulders. I am sending you a sketch of the latest rue de la Palx millinery, models specially designed for the llrst race meeting at Deauville. It shows a really exquisite hat created by Tal bot. The shape was dlrectoire and the ; hat was rnude of black lacquered straw, with deep rose Stantuug to line tiie brim. Tiie trimming wus cunningly arranged. A long, wide, black satin ribbon had wreath of exquisite pink water lilies attached to it in front. This ribbon was passed around the high crown of the hat, tied loosely at the back and then allowed to fall in long, loose ends over the shoulders. Popular Style of Trimming. This style of trimming is a Talbot specialty. I have seen it repeated with various flowers, and with flowers and fruits mixed. The dlrectoire shapes are more fashionable than ever; they have been found almost universally becoming and they supply a picture esque headdress which is exactly suit able for wearing with the present-day dresses of ruther fussy outline. Many of tiie newest bats show long floating ribbons. In velvet or sutln, and it may be said that the flouting veil Is more In fuvor than ever, espe cially for seaside and country wear; we do not see it very often in town. White chip hats covered with Shan tung or tussor are going to be the ! craze of the season. For morning wear, to accompany simple tussor tailored suits, I have seen white chip sailor shapes covered on the outer side with tussor and trimmed with two ! large white wings. PAY ATTENTION TO SHOES "Sloppy" Footwear Will Spoil the Ef fect of the Most Handsome Cos tume That Can Be Donned. Shoes are not good fits that wrin kle anywhere. Wrinkles under the arch are caused by too low a heel or the low instep of the wearer. A higher heel will usually make a shoe fit better If the Instep Is low. This Is especially true with a long, slender foot. Shoes that wrinkle be cause a little wide can he remedied after a fashion by wearing an Inner sole. Shoe trees, of course, should he used In shoes when they are not being worn, for the best-flttlng pair Is apt to wrinkle In the process of cool ing from a warm foot. With thin pumps and slippers a generous stuf fing of tissue paper makes a good substitute for shoe trees. A well dressed woman never allows her heels to “run down." Having heels “built up" Is Inexpensive, Is the least “patchy” looking of all shoe repair ing, and besides Improving the looks of shoes, enables the wearer to have a better carriage In walking. Mrs. Wilson's “Cape-Gown." The costume of black satin char meuse and king’s blue satin worn In the senate gallery by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson the other day. Is the first of the “cape gown” type of costume to be seen In Washington. The black satin cape, which, at the back quite covered the fitted gowr. handsomely embroidered In varl-eolored silk and lightened with sequins of king’s blue, was lined with king's bine satin ex actly matching the gown In tone. ^;;v^v;;v;;v;y;s;7;Yy cA Business | i!

He was the son of the president of the bank, but Aileen Drury did not know that. He was so pleasant, so smiling, so accommodating that she considered he would grace any social or business position. Once a day reg ularly Aileen had to go to the institu tion to deposit cash and checks for Truitt & Company, whose stenographer she was. She always went to the window of the assistant paying teller, after he had one day politely handed to her an exquisite white rose that reposed in a glass pin bowl filled with water on his desk. He had noted her admiring gaze und she accepted the trifle with a smile of genuine pleasure. The next day his kindness was accentuated by giving her a small bouquet of variegated pan sies. So after that It was always a little floral offering, or a brief friendly chat. Aileen's sweet face had enchanted the young hank man and she looked for ward to her daily visit to the teller’s window. Aileen was receiving a careful bus iness education from Truitt & Co. They were precise and systematic people. She had sense and aimed to ex cel and they trusted her implicity. The senior partner called her to his office one day. "Miss Drury,” he said, “on your way to the bank just drop in on Martin Rolfe, will you and present this hill for $1,200. I scarcely think he will pay It, as he is very nearly on the rocks. If he doesn't, tell him we shall apply some pressure for the collection at once.” Aileen was fully familiar with the Rolfe account and needed no further instructions. She found the man In his office and noticed that part of Its furniture had disappeared. Aileen was a keen observer and analyst and fan cied she detected sure signs of busi ness trouble. Rolfe began his usual excuses, but Aileen was clear and firm. Finally he filled in a check for $1,200. It was drawn on the Atlas National, with which Truitt & Company also carried their account. Aileen signed a receipt and left the office, but at the head of the street stairs, paused us she caught a remark from one of two men loiter ing near by. "Sure Rolfe Is In his office?” he spoke. "Dead sure,” was the response of tils companion. "We gain nothing by delay. Serve the notice of foreclosure on what of his furniture he hasn't sold and then get to the bank and garnishee hLs account. I tell you the man Is next door to bankruptcy and Is getting ready to jump the city." “Mercy me I” breathed the startled Aileen. 1 won't lose any time In get ting this check cashed.” She reached the Atlas National quite out of breath and anxious and excited. She was experienced enough to com prehend that she was in a race against risk and possible loss, with time, the essence of the pending transaction. Alan Britton looked up with a smile of welcome as Aileen’s sweet face was framed by the metal bound window of his cage. His quick eye detected her agitation and expressed solicitude. Voung Britton glanced at the check presented, then at Ail-en as If to In dicate that the bit of paper conveyed some arousing ideas of his mind. "Twelve hundred,” he read. “1 am pretty sure, Miss Drury, that Mr. Rolfe has less than that amount to his cred it account, hut I will see.” Alnn called a messenger boy and handl’d him the check with the direc tion “Tell the bookkeeper to give me the cash balance of Martin itolfe," and In a moment or two the boy with the check and a slip of paper upon which the bookkeeper had written the fig ures: "$1,150." How Aileen knew this, was that with a suggestive glance Alan placed the slip so she could not help but rend It. She was business wo man enough to take the hint, bestowed upon him u direct smile and passed on to the window of the receiving teller. She hud selected $50 In currency from her own deposit money. “Will you please credit this to the account of Mr. Martin Rolfe?" she spoke sweetly, yet with a little grim, half concealed smile. “It covers a dis puted account which 1 think we had better settle." Then Aileen Innocent faced, demure, calm, though her heart was beating fast, went back to Alan Britton. “Won’t you please pass the check tblt/fa again?” she asked and a Hash of admiration In Alan’s eyes mtufe her tremble and blush. Again the mes senger, a new slip from the bookkeeper, and with n dry smile at the cornef of his lips, Alan paid out $1,200. Aileen had been wise enough to know how to turn the corner of the “not sufficient funds" predicament of the wily Rolfe. And just In time, for as Aileen stood there seeking to regain her composure two further checks of Itolfe’s were pre sented, and their possessors sent sadly awn" empty handed. needn’t lie afraid of my fa ther,” said Alan to Aileen the day they became engaged. “He always told me In choosing a wife to get a good sen sible girl who knew something about business, and you fill that bill, don’t you. dear and. with your added love liness. you may he suri* of a royal wel come from the whole family.” (fi Nothing is denied to well-directed labor; nothing is to be obtained with-) out it.—Sir Joshua Reynolds. ❖•x~x~xk~xw~xk~x~x~x~x~x~>* f For Pierce-Arrow Limousine •{• j / J Y Service, Call % % £ CHAS.
