THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1813. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. PAQE B. RECENT FASHIONS CLEVERLY PRESENTED Shown in Cinematic Dramatic Living Pictures Tableaux and MANY INNOVATIONS ANNOUNCED New York, October 15. New York lias been much inter ested recently in the fall open ings of the big . shops. . MoH of the more important stores inject into this occasion more or less of a social element. Elaborate sol lings are prepared and invitations extended to patrons either by let ter or newspaper announcement, to attend at specified hours, when the costumes are displayed upon living models. A round of the various exhibi tions gives one a very good idea of the new modes which will be brought, out in the metropolis. Of course, the . more extreme styles are most: conspicuous in displays of this kind, as they a,e bound to depend more or less up on tiie spectacular for tneir ap peal. However, as modifications of these advance ideas will 'be seen throughout the country, a study of the costumes presented is very interesting. Two distinct styles seem to be struggling for supremacy cling- fill mmmk in MiStlittSfl figure One. ing draperies which reveal the silhouette, and the more bouffant effects' recently imported from Paris, expressed in wired tunics?, ruffles and panniers. Almost all the shops showed both, with a preponderance of draped styles. A well-known French . lress maker, whose cinematic pictures of his newest models have set the fashion world agog, evidenced in his coat suits a strong preference for draped styles and blouses of the Balkan style. In the evening gowns, shown in the pictures in the wonderfully beautiful gardens connected with his French estab lishment, the crinoline, as he called the hooped and ruffled ef fects, was very much in evidence Voluminous coats of velvet, cloth, and regal furs also formed an important part of the impressions upon these films of fashion, which so interested his American audiences. In confirmation of the anticipated acceptance of short er skirts, practically all of the skirts on his models were shown ankle length or shorter, both in suits and dancing dresses, even when the latter had trains. ; There now remains little doubt of our wearing1 shorter gowns this winter; and. while we cannot but regret the passing of the more graceful long skirt, to which we have become accustomed, shorter garments have hygienic and econ omic advantages which no practi cal woman will overlook. But returning to the fashion supplement openings, one of them in particu lar, by its originality and clever ness of conception, and its artis tic consideration of detail, merit ed special recognition. As a theme, the influence of Persian styles was chosen, and thy print ed programs contained appropri ate parodies upon Omar made to fit the three tableaux,. Morning, Noon and Nicht, in which the toilettes were shown. The set ting was a Persian garden, and graceful girls in the robes of the new fashion posed in a quaint kiosk occupying the center stage We have already commented upon the richness of the materials used this season, but so emphatic is this feature of the new modes that we cannot but mention it again. (owns or tne type wnicn we snow in our second illustration appeared everywhere. tins one of heavy cream-aud-black brocade, threaded with gold. The skirt has a clever drapery arrangement at the center-front, which brings it in closely at the feet. The upper part of the waist is of plain cream chiffon, with dull gold fringe finishing the sleeves at the elbow. The lower part of the waist is of the brocade, and a girdle of black velvet tied directly at the front f the figure and ending in heavy 'jlack-and-gold tassels, gives an attractive finishing touch. Crowning the toilette, and quite in harmony with it, is a litle hat of antique gold lace. II is quite transparent, permitting the coif fure to show through. It has an easily-fitting crown and a tiaralike- upstanding frill at the front, which is most becoming. The tiara and other types of Russian jewelry, will, they tell us, be much worn at formal func tions this season. Buckles, gir dles, bracelets, and other articles of jewelry in more general use are shown in the intricately wrought designs set with - dark, semi-precious jewels character istic of this semi-barbaric coun try. The top-boot is another ex treme novelty which has recently been imported from Russia. This wag shown, at the fashion open ings, not only, in black but in brilliant red and green leathers. Whether or not it wil be taken up to any appreciable degree, it is impossible to say at , this early day. One fact . may unhesitat ingly be slated, however, and that is that -we are to have a revival of fancy "street fotwear. The vogue of hosiery of a contrasting color worn with pumps, which was noted during the summer, has been transferred to a call for shoes with vari-colored tops. Broche silk in gray, brown, ter-ra-cotta, blue, and Russian green is being used in the uppers of shoes of dull and patent kid made by a prominent bootmaker. In evening footwear, sandal effects are strong, and slippers with novel trimmings. Our sec ond illustration shows a little gold lace butterfly ornamenting the slipper, and in the first the irl's black suede pump has a very smart mush in the form of a single crystal button. This picture shows the practical and popular sports coat used as . an evening wrap, it seems anoma lous that a garment originally intended for ouldoor, .sporting events should now be worn with frilly evening garb, yet such is the case. Attending the theaters any evening, one notes numbers GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS A DISTILLE ACR GORDING TO RECORDS Tlu following is of the last will and General George first president of States.

Sometimes they are in strong colors, such as cer ise, hunter's green, and orange, and very frequently also in white bearcloth," which is a new and attractive member of the chin- chila family. Bearcloth has a very high pile, or nap, but is supple to the final degree. It is warm and hangs m beautiful folds, and promises to be very popular. Under her white coat, this young girl, whom we saw at the opening of a new play the other evening, is wearing a frock of broidure chiffon in old blue and rose. On her head appears a little black velvet hat of modified mushroom type, with a quaint little wreath of blue-and-rose flowers, and a black velvet bride under her chin.

Taft, president of the American Bar association, in be ing appointed a member of the international law committee of the American liar association.
