According to M1ss Messerschmldt, the girl

A real parade of real live models wear
ing real Parisian, Viennese and American
gowns expressive of the "latest in mode"
was an atti action which led the crowds st
the Brandels store Monday to overlook
for a minute the other superlatives which
the store, whose (ail opening Is now in
session, presents both to the woman in
search of clothes and the person who
merely enjoys tlm spectacle of colors beau
tifully blended.
This paiade is staged on the second floor
of the store on a platform placed before
the cases which contain wax models wear
ing other stunning costumes. Palms and
eay chairs ale the stage settings. The
spectators crowd the ropes which encloss
the parade ground and gasp In admiration
and Indulge in comment of the gowns.
Description is Insufficient to appreciate,
one must see the styles of this season. But
to attempt the Impossible there was shown
a biack velvet theater gown made by toe
house of Drecoll. The narrow black velvet
skirt is held by an eight-Inch band cf satin
at the bottom. The bodice Is embroidered
In shades of rose. With this is worn a silk
hobble coat. A gown of white satin whlcn
la veiled by a net overdress embroidered
in steel beads represents Frances. A while
silk with net overdress and trimming of
silver comes from Callot-Serus. Black net
over red, banded skirt and embroidery of
gold leaves. With these costumes were
worn hats deserving of the term "picture,"
hats with plumes, white, shaded and repre
sentative of the season's most expensive
tancy.
All the gow n and hat treat, however, is
not Included in the piuade each of the
case in the gown department is a cyno
sure for the discerning eye of woman.
And the windows of the stores each hold
models-wax wearing dinner, evening or
theater gowns which fully repay study.
The wndows on Douglas street are allur
ing to the color sense because here the
artist has used brocades, silks, salii:s. veils,
furs, velvets and laces to exemplify the
color possibilities of these materials. He
has wrought with skill and his window
showing the browns, like the window done
In tones of giay or the one In which soft
white materials are shown, delight the eye.
Autumn leaves, ferns and palms are used
effectively In the Interior store decorations
and well It la all a pleasant vision, this
store which la having Its fall opening and
also preparing people for the great tall
festival.

NEW YORK, Sept 28. For the first
time Iri the hlBtory of railway union, mem
Lers apd delegates representing IWS.OOO men
of the four great divisions of railway em
ployes in the east voted unanimously at a
meeting yesterday to take concerted action
in national and state politics.
' The proper place to settle questions af
fecting labor Is at the ballot box," said
Warren S. Stone of Cleveland, O., grand
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. "Whatever your political
affiliation, do not let party lines blind
you to your true Interest or prevent you
from doing what you think Is best and
right See that the men you vote for stand
for the right principles, regardless of
party, and support those men who meet
the requirements, and you will not only
be doing the best thing for yourselves, but
for the public.
"This is not a political move at all, as
Is generally understood, but a move to get
away from the old lines of partisan poll
tics." Series of Eight Qaestloas.
In pursuance of this plan the meeting
voted to send out a series of eight ques
tions to state and national candidates, par
ticularly to candidates for the legislature
and house of representatives, asking for a
definition of attitude on the universal
adoption of safety appliances and an em
ployers' liability law where such . dues not
already exist comnany pensions for su
perannuated employes, hours of labor and
other matters of kindred Interest.
The catechism will be drafted by W. O.
Lee of Cleveland, president of the Brother
hood ot IUilway Trainmen, and A. B. Gar
retson of Cedar Rapids, la., president ot
the Order of Railway Conductors, and by
them distributed to ail of the executive
officers of subordinate unions and locals.
There were 3,000 members and delegates
at tlie meeting today, representing the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the
Brotherhood 'of Locomotive Firemen and
Englnemen and the Order of Railway Con
ductors. They met by announcement to
define their attitude toward, the 'applica
tion of railways, now before the Interstate
Commerce commission, for permission to
increase rates and, as had been expected,
they passed resolutions favoring an In
crease. It was decided that "this representative
meeting of the railway brotherhoods re
quest our chief executives to appear be
fore the Interstate Commerce commission
during the pending rate hearing
state our case and support the proposals
to reasonably increase the existing rates."
Operating Expenses Increased.
The legislative board of the Brotherhood
of engineers of Pennsylvania, representing
10,000 engineers, which recently concluded
sessions in Harrlsburg, Pa., attended the
meeting today In a body and reported reso
lutions which it was claimed typified the
attitude on the rate question of railway
employes In general, as expressed in many
other scattered resolutions. They find that
"tha various railway' companies by whom
our members are employed
have recently enormously Increased (heir
operating; expenses and fixed charges, by
reason of a general Increase in wages and
the Increased cost ot material and th
Incessant demand of the public for im
proved facilities and service."
In a letter to M. Flannery, chairman of
the executive coatuuttee of the engineers
at Buffalo, Chief Stone expressed himself
in thorough sympathy with the movement.
"One thing' Is sure," he writes, 'If the
railroads are to continue to exist, some
way must be found to meet the constantly
Increasing demand on their gross earnings."
