LATE STYLES IN GOWNS AND HATS Pannier Retur;ls and Hoops About Hips May Be Seen— Sleeves at Vanishing Point. BLACK AND WHITE POPULAR Colors Form Favorite Combination at French Resorts—Stripes in Nar- row and Wide Arrangements— Skirts Are Very Short. From all signs this will be a de- cisive season ‘in Paris in so far as fashion creation is concerned. The de- signers seem to have taken on their 'gld * accustomed “stride. They have turned their efforts unreservedly to leadership in the world of style. To aid them in this crucial moment there are arriving from the United States, from South America, and from England hosts of buyers and fashion experts to watch the latest develop- ments. This is almost a new experi- ence. At least it is a revived experi- ence, for through the last five years only the most favored of buyers have been allowed to cross the water and only a few of the dressmakers have kept up their work with anything like pre-war vigor. American women during the war have developed a style all their own. They are dressing now as suits the climate and their life and their pur- suits, which are quite different from the French woman’s. And one Sympa- thizes with the buyers, who wonder whether their clients at home will re- fuse to accept the wonderful things brought over from France. If their eyes are trained only for beauty they will be dazzled into letting all their accumulated notions of dress go by the board and the conservatives at home will not be suited. At this time of the year all of France, as all of the rest of the world, seeks a cool spot; and so it is at Deau- ville and the other resorts by the sea- side that one looks upon the fashiona- bly arrayed crowd of women and is able to gain some idea of the trend of the times as regards dress. They are wearing the very latest things from a French point of view, and, of course, the majority of the fall fash- fons will follow in some respects the lines favored ju ' now. 8kirts Are Very Short. Well, the tendency js all in the dt- rection of the skirts that are shorter than anything America has ever worn or even dreamed about, You hear it said that the Parisians are wearing their skirts very long, but whea you see them with their skirts actually ex- teading just below thelr knees, so that when their arms are raised the skirt pulls above the knee, you know what a short skirt really is. It is easy on ma- terial and is extremely good looking when the figure of the wearer can stand the strain. The skirts are tight, too, but what matters that when their length is what it is? No trouble about taking a good, long step in a dress of this character. Then the coats, when it is a suit, reach almost to the bot- - tom of the skirts, leaving, in fact, only about two or three inches of the skirt to be seen. The coats are either strict- 1y tailored or they show a little fall- ness about the hips. That tells a story of forthcoming fullnesses of even greater volume. It is so with the dresses. Always there is a slight gathering of extra material where the hips join the waist. 1t 18 the pannier that is greeting us on the broad higitway of fashion. As yet it is not large enough nor full enough to be alarming, though there are ru- » tive. mors of hoops about the hips and even about the bottoms of the skirts. The sleeves now in vogue can hardly be called sleeves. They actually are Just a little strip of material over the top of the shoulder. In most instances that is all, and the Parisians wear them fearlessly for morning and after- noon. In the evening there is no sign ta be seen of sleeves. Even the blouses for wear with tailored suits are scantily equipped as to sleeves. They will be quite high at the neck, buttoning up under the chin most uncomfortably on a hot day, and then they will have these little, inade- quate sleeves—that is, they are inade- quate for anything except setting off a good-looking arm. Indeed, a Frenchwoman's dress of the present mode is little more than two strips of material sewed together and cut kimono fashion, though the lines of her frock are not flowing; they follow the outline of her figure. Evening gowns, far from being an exception to this rule, carry things to an exaggerated degree. The economical use of material there extends to the neckline, which not only opens at DACK | —————————————————————— to the waist, but sometimes below that point. These gowns are low in front also. All that is used for the bodices are two pointed strips of material on either side of the front. In order to keep this on there are strings of jewels or beads attached to the points strung around the neck, and from the back of the neck strung to the waistline again. It is the fabric of the evening gown that counts for everything and its draping. Favorite Color Combination. Black and white is by all odds the favorite color combination at the French resorts at this time of the year. Black and white stripes, since early spring, have been very good for . sepa- rate silk dresses and for suits, as well as for topcoats. Now the new woolly fabrics are appearing, and they show these stripes in wide and narrow ar- rangements. Then there is the black gown with the white hat; that is the most effec- This season they are wearing over the white hat, which is sans trim- ming, a black, lacy veil. This makes the costume even more effective. The veil does not necessarily cover the face—in fact, it rarely does—but its lacy pattern is so distributed that the white showing through the black transparent pattern makes a trimming of its own. Another black and white combina- tion is that of the white frack, usually of taffeta, and the black picture hat. Black shoes and stockings are worn | with this, and then, in the most start- ling instances, a red or a brilllant green parasol is carried. White silk jersey frocks form effective portions of these black and white combina- tions, Hats Without Trimming. The hats, as a forecast of fall head- gear, are mostly without trimming. The style is all in the line, but how that line i8 obtained is a complete mystery. Upon examination the riddle only becomes more complicated. There seems to be nothing there except a band of scmething stiff to fit about the head. The crown and the brim are entirely without Inner stiffening or frame. The trick does not allow for explanation. It is all in the wizard who causes it to be. Yet, when this seem- ing mass of velvet or satin Is put on the head it takes a shape and form that commend it to any wearer. It seems to have been made to set off at 1ts best that face alone, and while you cannot say that the hat is round or oval or square or long, still it has shape, The felt blocked hats worn Wwith midseason gowns are round as to crown and as to brim as well. The brim turns up at the same distance all, the way round and the only trimming' for the hat is a silk band of the same color. Hats of this character in beige and taupe worn with navy blue suits are effective. Then there is another variation of this hat done in duvetyn. POTATOES GROWN NEAR CLEARBROOK PASS TEST (Special to Pioneer.) Bagley, Oct. 7.—Thirty-nine acres of potatoes grown near Clearbrook have successfully passed' three rigid inspections and will be certified as pure, disease free, seed potatoes. These potatoes were grown by Her- bert Johnson, Hans Dahlberg, Hogen Tollefson, Arthur Lund and Gabriel Anderson, all farmers residing near Clearbrook. Thirty acres of Early Ohios and nine acres of Bliss Triumps are included in the total. A. G. To- laas, chief inspector for the State Seed Potato Certification board an- nounced this decision last week after makKing the third and final inspection of these fields. i Growers of certified seed potatoes in Minnesota are already receiving twenty-tive cents above the regular market quotations. 8 One half the applications, in Min- nesota, for certification this year did not pass the first inspection. In Clearwater county not one of the ap- plicants failed to pass all three in- spections. This proves conclusively that northern Minnesota is well adapted to the raising of potatoes. “PEANUT” UNIT LOOKED GOGD But After Receiving Letter From Ag- ricultural Department “City Suck- er” Did Not Invest. A city man got a very glowing circu- lar from a Chicago “development com- pany” offering him ten acres of land in Florida for the surprisingly small sum of $2,500—a “peanut unit” the circular called it. He could grow. the circular said, a thousand bushels of peanuts on his ten acres and could sell the pea- nuts—allowing for low prices— at $2 a bushel. The city man was impressed ; but he sent the circular to the depart- ment of agriculture with a query as to whether or not the investment was & good one. Following are some sentences from the letter he got in reply: “The lit- erature is of the kind designed to de- celve city people in the North and West who do not know anything about farming.” “The average return from ten acres of peanuts would not exceed $300 to $500.” *“You could buy a 100- acre farm in almost any of the coun- ties of western Florida, including the one mentioned in the circular, for the price these people ask for ten acres.” “The whole ‘unit’ system, whether it is pecans, peaches, figs, cane, pea- puts, hogs, or what not, is simply a means of selling land at three to five times what it is worth to ignorant or unwary small investors.” “To pay $2,- 500 for this ten acres of land would stamp you as a ‘sucker’ of the rankest class."—Exchange.
