Ions News Notes.
LOOAN Yesterday the case entitled Voss
against Iowa Central Rauroad Company
Styles in Women's Apparel
to Prevail This Season
Brim full of new style Ideas garner!
from personal visits to Paris, Berlin, Lon
don and Vienna, or from the scarcely less
Important style center, New York, the
corps of buyers from the Brandeia Stores
have returned from their various trips. As
much time as they could spare from the
work of completing the final plant for the
fall opening Monday was given to Inter
views with newspaper representatives re
garding the trend of fashions that will pre
vail this season.
"The chief designers of apparel In Paris
hold their evenings about the middle i.t
August." said a Brandeia buyer who spent
tha summer at various fashion center
abroad. "Many of the style Innovations
were prevented then. At the showings of
Paquln, Callot, Drecoil, Cheruit, Francis
and others the costumes for afternoon,
street and. In many cases, evening wear
had an ull around length barely touching
the ground. Some pointed deini train were
shown, but they were of no great length,
owing to the narrowness of the skirts at
the bottom. Many skirts are draped, oetng
slightly gathered at the waist line, falling
loosely Over tht hipt and narrow at the
bottom. The draped end terminates on a
large anot or bow at the sides, back or
front below tha knees.' A great many of
the draperies are shown In the Byxanllne
period.
"Among the gowns the scarf effect Is
very prominent and will meet with a great
u inland hre In Amerloa also. Long, plain,
waist less effects prevail and many of tha
garments entrain have shorter trains than
in previous seasons. In trimmings, gold
and sliver laces and new crystal beaded
and bugle trimming are popular, as well as
the Jet. In extreme Instances the arm
are draped with pearls from the shoulder
for evening wear.
"quite a feature among tht new gowns
Is the allover embroidered and braided
tunics running from tht shoulders to be
low tht knees. A solid tunio Is thus
formed, with plain material making up the
train and flounce.
"In regard to suits, tha long, plain tail
ored Ideas art as popular as ever, but
there ait as many with hip trimming.
Tht extreme length coat tultt in the hip
less effects are In high favor.
"Among the new thingt In deml-cottuines
are ti.ree-plece effects in tht plain Mujcn
Age effect, with long coata. In tbtse
cases coats are either embroidered or
braid trimmed, and in many Instances a
little touch of gill la to be found. A
woman's wardrobe thla season would be

dresses, separate coats still retain their
plain tailored smartness, but there la oc
casional trimming over tht h.pe. Ont of
j the new Ideas here is tht French back.

eviry available Inch of space was used.
Motor cart flashed In an unending line
fiom end to end of the Riverside drive,
women standing on the seats, men riding
on the roofs and the air was blue with the
smoke of their passage. The crowds were
not content with the roofs, windows, the
walks and tha drives, they overflowed the,
railway tracks along the drive and they
massed, the hillsides until the fields, gay
with the colors of women's skirts and hats,
teemed sown with daisies and popples.
Mart ( Naval Parade.
The naval parade, though a little late
in starting, due to the collision of the
Clermont and the Half Moon, went
through substantially as planned, with
out further accident, and In sightly and
tv.bel order. The torpedo boats, sub
marines and naval auxiliaries led the
way, followed by the Half Moon and the
Clermont, revenue cutt.irs, tugs and
ligltters, merchantmen, yachts, motor-

"Among the new French waists art
many real Irish, renaissance and prin
cess, waists, also new- nets with colored
embroidery. Among the novelties are
heavy Jap silk embroidered waists, with
bead and bugle trimming, as well as black
wlrh real Jet trimming. Many chiffon
v. alas are draped In gold, silver or Val
enciennes luce, producing a transparent
efftot."
"The styles In millinery were never be
fore decided upon so late aa thla year,"
said the millinery buyer. "The styles that
art leaders In fashionable favof did not
arrive In New York until the first week in
September. The new hats, which were
designed to harmonise with the new
method of hair dressing, created havoc In
millinery ctnters. As it was, hundreds of
visiting designers had left New York for
their homes a week or two before the
really smart tall styles came.
"The new style of coiffure dresses the
hair fiat to the head and the newest hat
fits closely also. Draped turbans are most
utfsotlve, the velvet draplngs correspond
ing with the lines of the coiffure. Trim
mings are rich, but simple this season, but
the least deviation from what is strictly
correct marks a hat Instantly as common.
There Is no such a thing as being 'nearly
tashionable' in this season's millinery. A
hat either haa that touch that makes it
smart or it Is hopeless. Turbans are often
trimmed with exquisite heron aigrettes and
birds of Paradise plumage. Many have the
cunning mulfs to match. Tha harmony
must be txact."
"The tut ban, while new, la by no means
the only correct hat. Dressy, large huts of
a superior quality of velvet are In vogue.
In these the trimmings are also simple,
but wonderfully effective. The placing of
a beautiful paradise or heron aigrette on
tha hat Is an art nowadays and compari
son alwayt shows which hat is right and
which la wrong. Hats are not loaded down
with trimmings, but are simpler and mure
krtistic than formeily. The Marquise hat
it a new favorite, aa .s also the Pasha
turban. A new thing la the old-fashioned
lace scarf of fine chantllly, lined with pink
chiffon and with hood fattened on for
evening wear.
"The shades that art to be In highes:
favor thla year are blues, commencing at
French blue and running almost Into
navy,' said another buyer. Tit grayer
tones, known at the night blue, are ex
ceptionally strong Blues are not only
used aa tht mala color, but art often uted
for trimming. Walterlas and purpiea art
popular also. The duller ahades In every
thing are much sought after. Dull coppers,
flull greens, seal browns and old blues
are In high favor. Chicory and artichoke
greent are much used, while mullberry,
raisin, walnut and males find many followers
boats, pleasure crafts and such a fleet
of excursion steamers rs hat never been
een before.
At a few minutes after o'clock this
morning the Clermont wss towed from
Its anchorage In the Kill Von Kull be
yond the sheltering ",ee of Btaten Island
to the rend.vous Neither was the Half
Moon under tow. The brisk wind
straight down the rlv?r was a favoring
gale for part of the course mapped. Lieu
tenant Lam, bf the Royal Dutch navy,
In command and Impersonating Henry
Hudson sot his sails and carried away
smartly. Suddenly the machinery of the
Clermont, then In the lead, balked with
most convincing realism. The Half Moon
was under too much headway to atop
and had too little tea loom to come
about. Tht collision followed. When It
was seen that neither ship had bean ser
iously) damaged, both picked up way
again, but both, this time under tow.
At Reviewing Stand.
Once In the shelter of Manhattan Island,
tht Clermont cast off Its tug and finished
Its course to the watergates and the offi
cial reviewing stand at 110th street under
Its own steam, but the little Half Moon,
Its sails, furled. Its seventeenth century
poop looming high above shipping of
heavier tonnage and Its broad orange
ensign streamihg heavily above It, was
conttnt to accept assistance.
At the Watergate the exercises culminated
with the presentation of the Half Moon to
the commission by the Dutch envoys. This
ceremony was formal and furnished a pic
turesque climax as the living shade of
Henry Hudson, In velvet and ruff, grasped
the hand of tht descendant of Robert
Fulton, in front of them sat the golil
li.cfd, be-rlbboned and frock-coated repre
sentatives of nearly a dosen nations, while
behind them rolled the river which carried
their ancestors to feme. And as they stood
there on the left bank, with the afternoon
sun streaming down upon them, the
thunder of the guns of the warships
echoed back from the Jersey hills and far
up the river.
Pictaeresqwe and Brilliant.
The assembly In the reviewing stand was
full of picturesque and brilliant interna
tlot aliem. Beside the somber frock, coats
of the American and Japanese officials
there flashed out the gold dress of the ad
mirals, the red fei of the Turkish minister
and the Jeweled cap of Wu Ting-fang, the
Chines representative, while Rifting
through the crowd was a nosfof attaches
In full regulia.
I'p a golden path, which the descending
sun had laid, came the little Half Moon;
behind It the rakish Clermont, with Its
slender smokestack. Both anchored be
fore the reviewing stand and 8. P. Van
Weghen, president, of the Dutch commis
sion, made the speech of presentation.
Then Lieutenant Lam of tha Dutch navy.
representing Hudson, came ashore and was
received with great formality by General
Stewart L. Woodford, chairman of the
commission, who greeted hiin'as one risen
from the grave.
Then the scene shifted and 200 years
were covered In as many seconds, for step
ping on the float and extending his hand
to his fair lady, came the modern Robert
Fulton, impersonated by his descendant,
Robert Bullock of Bridgeport, Conn. A
bevy of women and men followed, nearly
all dressed in tho silks, bonnets and
beaver hats of the beginning of the last
century.
Explorer and Inventor Meet.
Robert Futton was aloo greeted with
great dignity and much eloquence, a cer
emony to which Prlnoe Kunl of Japan,
through his Interpreter, contributed by ex
tending the congratulations of his country
and the felicitations of his sovereign. Then
Captain Hudson and Robert Fulton of the
twentieth century clasped hands, expressed
amused regret over the slight unpleasant
ness In the lower harbor and pleadod loyal
support for the remainder of the voyage.
Among those In the reviewing stand were
Vice President Sherman, Joseph H. Choate,
former ambassador to Great Britain; Rear
Admiral Beaton Rchroeder, commanding the
American battleships In the Hudson; Ad
miral Sir Edward Seymour, commanding
the British ships; Governor Hughes of
New York, Governor J. Franklin Fort of
New Jersey and a host of foreign repre
sentatives. Night Parade Abandoned.
As time wore on the crowd began to dis
perse to wait for the night parade, only
to learn with disappointment later that.
It would be abandoned. Ships were still
coming down stream at sunset and the
prospect of further delsys, complicated by
the confusion of darkness In the lower
harbor, was too formidable to face. But
more millions flocked to see the Illumina
tions. Battleships that by day had been
grey, sullen and menacing, but for the
bunting that streamed from their mast
heads were transformed by- the touch of
the electricians' wand into creatures of
airy fantasy, Incandescent of outline, but
seemingly without bulk, and floating oh
a river of milk. The elevated battery of
searchlight, aggregating 2,000,000,000-CHndle
power, wove, symphonies of color above
and around them, while other concealed
batteries played continuously on the white
marble of Grant't tomb and the soldiers'
and sailors' monument.
Such effects of Illumination have never
been seen before and their suggestion, aa
the beams of light crossed, blended and
rayed out Into the night, was of nothing
familiar to modern Industrialism, but of
pagan mythology.
Crowd Increases at .Mahtfall.
There was no abatement of the swarming
throngs. All the household tollers who
must bake and cook and wash and tend the
babies, while the daylight lasted were re
leased with the coming of night and they
poured out trim their hives on the east
side to swell (he unprecedented crowds of
visitors In number, which the police and
the officials of the traction companies
agree have never been seen before.
Thirteen thousand Incsnuescent lamps
transformed tht Brooklyn bridgt into a
great aerial pathway of flame and the
mighty span formed one of the most at
tractive spectacles of the night celebration.
The city hall was Illuminated with S.uou
electric bulbs and all the newspaper and
office buildings were decorated with bunt
lug. flags and electric lamps.
By U o'clock the lights were out and the
Riverside drive, lorn by trampling feet
and littered with luncheon baskets and
newspapers, looked more like a battlefield
than a city park.
