HATS ARE LIKE GARDENS.
Flowers Are to be Much Used fo
Trimming Purposes.
Now York. Sept. 21. The ( lower
that adorn the autumn hats are ban
ly less bewildering in their numbc
and variety than were those the
bloomed In the woods and Holds I
the season Just departing. On wid
hats largo blossoms , such as clemutii
popples and peonies are frequent !
seen , although they are by no mean
confined to the more expensive hea
covoiings.
One hat that was a dream of coin
had its crown covered with pink peoi
les In which were all the shades c
tone natural to these splendid llov
crs , and the wide undulating brim xva
of velvet that matched their dcepet
tone. Another largo hat of gold m
this time had large silk ( lowers In
dull grayish brown laid around on It
brim. This made a very somber con
blnatlon , for the fashionable gold ti ;
sues have none of the glitter one u :
ually expects to llnd on this mos
precious of metals. For a touch c
brightness , a small bow of blue sail
ribbon was dropped among the llov
crs in a way that suggested n beai
tiful butterlly fluttering about In
parden.
As a result of the present fancy fc
black and white , black velvet hat
are often wreathed with snowy bloi
eonis that form their solo trimming.
Among the ( lowers used for this p'u
pose is clematis , made of an exccei
Ingly line chenille braid , which pn
duccs a frosted effect almost to
chilly to bo endured when the le
and frost of Natuio hiivo actually a
rived. Nevertheless , with the wan
colors of autumn as a background ,
Is most effective. Clematis made c
other materials , with petals , stamen
and anthers of the most exquisite del
cacy , is also soon.
Satin rosebuds still hold their own ,
and their forms are being Imitated In
Hiii'do leather , heavy brocades and
other materials suitable for autumn.
Some of the silk rosebuds have a few
heavy , glittering metallic petals , and
are accompanied by leaves of the
character.

DO YOU DANCE TOO CLOSE ?
Kansas City Star : If you would
lance without molestation In the pub
ic dance halls of Kansas City you
mist keep some "daylight" between
ourself and your partner. Otherwise
on probably will bo quietly informed
ly the floor manager that you are
'dancing too close. " If you persist
vou will be asked to leave the door by
some man In citizen's clothes who Is
watching you from a seat among the
spectators.
Nor must you use any "hip move
ment. " The "Grl//.ly Hear , " Newport's
utest craze , and similar dances have
been "n-ad out" by the dance Inspect
ors of Kansas City.
"I'oslMon" Is one feature of the
dance to which the Inspectors are "uy-
Ing much attention.
1 lolly Jarboi' . parole olllcor of the
board of public welfare , acting as the
dance inspector , has visited throe
places where public dances are held.
In every Instance ho has made some
suggestions and in every instance they
have been acted upon Instantly. Mr.
Jnrboo admits he isn't a dancing expert -
pert , but ho tells the secret In a low
tone his wife or daughter usually ac
company him and under their tuition
ho rapidly Is becoming a skilled danc
ing inspector.
"See that couple dancing on the other -
er side ? " he asked at the Coliseum
dancing pavilion last night. "I don't
think there is anything wrong witli
that position. They are dancing nat
urnlly. Hut some persons would say
they were dancing too close. There
should be some daylight between
them. I
"Tho hardest feature of dancing Iiv
r.pections . Is to tell the ages of the
dancers. Women are wearing theii
dresses half way to their knees this
year. Just about the time I have de <
elded to call the attention of the pro
prletor to the fact that a 'kid * is danc
ing the supposed kid will approacli
and I will see she Is nearly as old as
I am.
"I have visited three dance halls and
Investigations have resulted In the dis
covery that sometimes girls are al
the dunces without their parents' con
sent. At one place I took the names
and addresses of three girls. Invest !
gallon led to the discovery that the
mothers of the girls fancied they wen
staying at the home of some of UK
other girls. None of the girls was
at homo that night
"There will be no 'grizzly bear
dances in Kansas City. Nothing witl
any 'hip movement' will bo tolerated
This 'bear dance * may be the rage a
Newport but it won't go In the publli
dances here. "
It Is likely that the management o
the dances will put on an age limit o
their own. The ordinance provides ;
limit of 16 years. One dance hal
puts the limit at 18 years.
"I do not expect any trouble fron
the ordinary dancers , " said Mr. Jar
boo last night. "Some day , however
we may have to object to the manne
in which some of the more arlstc
cratic Kansas Citians are dancing am
then there will be trouble. They wil
resent any Insinuation that they ar <
not dancing properly.

But no Hobble Skirt.
New York , Sopt. 21. C. Poynter
Redfern of Pails , London , Nice and
New York came in jes-totday on the
White Star liner Adriatic with his
mind made up that n winter crop of
sprained ankles would not be laid to
the dressmaking house of Redfern.
To the Vug bag or comic opera with
the hobbles knee , semi-knee and
ankle so far as Director Redfern Is
concerned. Its not of your ankles
ho would have you think , but of your
backs. No , shoulders will not do.
"Velvets , " he said sweepmgiy , wnen
asked what the well dressed woman
would wear this season. "Ve'lvets on
the street , Indoors and in the evening.
Many cloaks will bo of velvet and
there is never anything handsomer for
the woman of good figure than the
velvet gown. The newest colors will
Ijo the violets , in anticipation of the
coming coronation. Velvet next the
-.kin gives a soft and beautiful effect
and the gowns will be cut low , yes ,
very low In the back. "
Ho did not explain how low , ex
cept by a general wave of the hand
downward. Hut an obliging woman
who showed some of the exquisite
gowns did.
"To the corset line , " she said with
out a tremor.
But this back cut Is the only ex
treme this maker of fashions will per
mit. Everything else , he 'says , will be
as It ought to be , practical and simple.
"Nothing except a freak , " he said
of the present hobble skirt. "The
wearing of It Is simply a lot of mad
people following one mad person.
"Someone quoted me as saying the
Louis Qulnze dress with the long
waist was to be the thing , " he said ,
"but that was not correct. The waists
will be longer this year , but not the
JiOiIs Qulnzo length. That may come
though , ns Mine. Sorel of the Comedle
Francalse , a woman who sets fashions
In Paris , is wearing a Louis Quinzc
gown.
"All the lines will be long. Thai
doesn't mean any more severe strap
plua In of the hips , only that the hips
shall not be exaggerated.
"The lines will be close to the figure
but not accentuate It. Perhaps the
nearest description of them Is to cal
them semi-Grecian.
"The skirt will be cut fitting in t (
the knees. This effect will be obtain
cd largely by the use of the Ions
tunic. "
