LHKDS. Enaland. March 8. The dlrec-
tora of the British Dyea company, which
hopes to supplsnt the German dyemakers
In the production of aniline colors, are
pushing the construction of their fac
tories on the -aire aite allotted them
by the British government at H udders
field. A considerable part of the new
works wUl be In operation during 'the
spring.
In the meantime the production ef veg
etable dyes in Great Britain has greatly
Increaaed, and aniline dyes are being
made at home in smaller factories and
Imported in unprecedented quantities
from Swltierland. As England formerly
aent the raw materials of the anlllns
dyes to Germany to be returned to It as
the finished product, so now It la sending
these raw materials to Bwttserland, and
many British dye users hare sianed con
tracts to continue the Import of Swiss
dyes even after the wsr Is over.
CHINESE AND SPANISH EFFECTS
Grouped around the esplsnade at the
tlrandels stores' fashion show conducted
by Harry Collins of New York City, was
a regular "first nlKht" audience of local
society women. Bright and early In the
morning, before the dainty fashion models
were ready to don their smart suits.
charming afternoon frocks and stunning
evening gowns, a throng of woitftn
awaited the llrst showing of advance
styles direct from eastern fashion centers.
Mr. Collins' fashion show was trans
ferred bodily to the dining room of the
Hotel Fontenello for the dansant at H
o'clock last nlsht when a large crowd
fashionables attended. The exhibit will
be shown for the last time at the Bran
dels stores today.
. Seme Gargeoai Effects.
That simplicity is a thing of the past 1a
amply demonstrated at this exhibit Bil
lowy skirts, fluffy flutings, tulle over
skirts, bustle effects of tulle, dashing
big bows anything to break the contin
uity of line is the striking feature of the
style display. The early English period.
with Victorian skirt and fichu and sur
plice effects vies In popularity with the
alluring Spanish influence so marked in
the display of evening gowns.
One of the handsomest evening gowns
shown was that with a marked Spanish
Influence, a black Chantllly lace gown
over cloth of gold, with a glittering bodice
of metallic brocade and a pellerlne or
cape of the Chantllly lace. A stunning
evening wrap, the same trend of fashion,
was of yellow, the loose sleeve featuring
the same edge of fringe famed In sons
and story by the Spanish mantilla.
Chinese laflaence.
A revival of the Chinese influence In
dress Is imminent, according to Mr. Col
lins, because of the necessity tor main
taining neutrality, even in style exhibits.
To demonstrate the charm of the modes
from the orient Mr. Collins is showing
an attractive Chinese blue and yellons
combination, the body of the frock being
of the blue taffeta with narrow Insertions
of yellow Georgette crepe running horl
aontally across the garment.
Rainbow skirts of tulle on evening
gowns, afternoon frocks caught rather
tightly around the bottom as In the days
of. tbe hobble, hip Inserts of Georgette
orepe forming a striking contrast In
gowns of taffeta or other materials, are
all notable features ot the exhibit.
Russian Go-era "Saesy."
A Russian ballet gown, characterized
aa extremely "aaesy" by Mrs. Howard
Baldrlge, one of Omaha's best dressed
matrons; a bisque-colored suit with a
slit all the way down the front showing
a dashing Paul Poiret underskirt as the
wearer walked, with the same lining to
the jacket, and a dainty white Georgette
crepe model with a simple bodice and
skirt made petal effect like the rose; an
other girlish frock of white net and pale'
green organdie with flutings and 'white
ribbon Inaertings across the hips, and a
lavender . embroidered taffeta with a
bustle effect of lavender tulle and side
pockets lined with Alice blue, called for
the most admiration.
, Popular Shades.
In the new blouses which form part of
Mr. Collins' display the distinctive fea
tures are the high coloring, the bishop .
collar and its modifications, and the In
troduction of the fish net trimming for
collars, curfs and inserts to the blouse.
Coral, emerald greed, Hage blue, sky
blue, salmon and peace gray are only a
few of the popular shades. Detachable
collars, so that the blouse can be worn
low neck or high, as milady chooses, and
the roll edge, which Is hand-work and
replaces the picot. are interesting to
note. Colored linen blouses, too, promise
to be most popular for the spring.
"Bee Hive" and
"Barrel Skirts"
WillBe in Style
CHICAGO. March It "Butterfly" eve
ning gowns, "bee hive" and "barrel"
skirts as well as the cork hat. a bread
sailor affair, are among the new styles
for the spring and summer wear of the
ultra fashionable, according to the SOU or
more modistes from all parte of the coun
try who gathered here today for the semi
annual convention ot the Fashion Art
league ot America.
The convention opened this morning
and the details of women's dress were
taken up at once as a part of the busi
ness session. That the full skirt will pre
vail and that there will be no radical
changes, seemed to be the prevailing sen
timent. The "barrel" aklrt, so-called be
cause the waist and the bottom of the
skirt are narrower than It is at ths
knees, thus giving the outline from which
It gets its name, will be the lateat inno
vation for afternoon and morning wear.
The "bee hrve" form of skirt is mora
pronounced In the evening gowns be
cauae of more width at the bottom for
dancing while a combination of effect
at the coraage and the sleeves, which will
be elbow length, give a butterfly touch
to the costume for formal wear.
The visiting modistes were welcomed
by Mme. Alia Ripley, president of tha
Fashion Art league of America, and after
lectures today the showing ot 160 original
American designed gowns will take place
tomorrow In competition for the $1,000
Goesard trophy, wiilch is awarded every
year for the best design from the shopa
of the modistes of the country.
The war In Europe has made American
designs supreme, according to the dele
gates, who assert that French models ara
no longer demanded.
Thrifty. .
A certain old lady was famed In her
native village for health and thrift. To
an acquaintance who waa once eongratu
latin her upon the former ahe said:
"We be pretty well for old folka, Jealah
and me. Josiah hun t had an ailm' time
for fifty yeara. ,eeut last winter. And
I ain't never suffered but one day in my
life, and that was when I took soiue ot
tha medicine Joalah had left over, ao'a
