Bradstreet Folks By RUTH CAMERON. NEW rriction | RANSFER PATTERNS THIS PATTERN SERVICE MEANS CLEAN HANDS AND A SWEET TEMPER A friend of mine, who has been having a streak of bad luck, an invitation to come to my home one evening because a mutusl quaintance, and I had thought a mutual friend, was to be there. “What's the matter with Susannah?” I asked. * she said. Have you had a falling out?” “No,” she answered, “but you know I'm playing in hard luck just now and Susannah is one of those people you don’t like to meet when you're not prosperous.” Do you know any of that type, Reader Friend? 1 do. Not only Susannah, but many others. They are fair weather friends. No, that's not quite fair. Sometimes they are still friends in bad weather but “so as with a difference.” A shade of patronage and condescension creeps into their manner. They look you over with eyes in which an investigating =sharpness is very thinly veiled. You know you are being Bradstreeted. You become burningly aware of the fact that the tips of your glove fingers are a bit wern. They ask you questions which betray you, and you can feel themt translating and tabulating the answers in their minds. “We've misssd you at the Woman'’s club, my dear,” they say. “Yes,” you answer, with a pain- ful attempt at nonchalance, "I haven’'t been very well lately so I've had te give it up for the present.” You might just as well have sald outright, “I'm ashamed to go because my clothes are so shabby. For they know what NO PENCIL TRACING--NO HOT IRON.-MERELY A RUB OF THE THUMB NAIL IN THIS SYSTEM ac- is an amethyst crepe Altesse. Its underdress, sligthly slit at one side, falls in irregular folds and does not look as scant as it act- ually is. Overskirt Folds Merge with Cape. About the overskirt there is con- siderable fulness, and this appearance is emphasized by the abrupt slant of its point from the sides, which are of the same length as the rear por- tion. Its folds merge with those of a cape which shows only from the back and falls loosely from the nape of the neck, where it is laid in pleats Téo long has the overskirt been of | draperies, the straight up-and-down, even- length, all-round effect. Fashion, teasily wearied and ever restless, has decreed that its shape #hall be changed. And this edict has gone forth just as everybody, having col- lected a wardrobe, had settled back to enjoy the.summer and forget, tem- porarily, that couturiers exist. Nevertheless, it is fortunate for these would-be idlers that fashion abruptly became dissatisfied with the *plain, long overskirt—fitted smooth- ly about the hips or pleated.into a waistband—for it was everywhere. Consequently something which defl- nitely varied from it was hailed with delight the other day when it en- tered America in company with a number!of other inportations for early autumn. : ‘Winter's Frocks. The creation is all in- sulphur-cel- ored charmeuse, and 'its skirt is laid in the fine' pleats which is likely to be the distinguishing ‘feature of next winter's modes. The draping of the overskirt can best be described as an afterthought. Originally planned to fall loosely from the waistband to | which its top is gathered, it is most unexpectedly caught high above the knees in front and tucked under the waistband. As a result the tiresome straight line is destroyed, the lower edge is uneven and the back cas- cades irregularly almost to the ankles, while the front is only half its length. Verily, a difference with a vengeance! The bodice of this sulphur-colored frock is worth attention because it is so absolutely’ unlike any which have preceded it within the recol- lection of modern fashion experts. Its fulness at center of front is close- ly gathered under a two-inch ‘stand- ing collar crossing the collar bones and theé shoulder blades and mak- ing not the slightest. pretence of ap- proaching the throat or covering it. Bodice Effect Like. Bolero. Several inches sbove the normal waist line the bodice is again gath- ered, this time under a narrow frill in sulphur-colored pleated net com- ing at the top of a high girdle in the charmeuse. From the back' the effect of the bodice is not unlike a Bolero, supposing that such a gar- ment were. ever gathered at top and “. bottom. Its sleeves, too, are peculiar. They are cut in one with the bodice, yet they outline the shoulders, fit trim- ly under the arms ‘and cling closely to them as far as the elbows, where they end under net frills of the same length as those on the. bodice. Mousquetaire Sleeve of the Hour. Now and again these straight lit- tle sleeves make their appearande on a very simple frock. Most unex- pected they are, and certainly not the arm covering of the hour. That sleeve, broadly speaking, is the mous- quetajre—sometimes rippling all the way from the shqulder; again, fit- ting almost emoothly, but always cov- ering the wrist. Distinctly novel is an overskirt which points in front. Straight as a plummet from waist to toe it goes, and it will be hailed with delight by the plump woman to whom na- ture has been niggardly in the mat- ter of inches. ' For nothing so great- 1y adds to the appearance of heights as a skirt which has length in front.

A second and very flat collar trims the bodice, whose front fulness is so caught in that it blouses chiefly at the sides of the waist line. The drooping, flat effect of the bodice and the cape is continued in the sleeves, set without fulness into low-dropped, wide arm eyes. Worn with a black Vvelvet sombrero, nothing could be more stunning for early autumn than this amethyst-hued costume. Tiers, Delight of Tall Women. Tiers have ever been the delight of the tall woman. She secretly re- Joiced when flounces’ came into fash- | ion, and she frankly delights in the novel way in ‘which bands of varying width are now put upon long over- skirts. Tilleul in dull surah and shim- mering satin—thé quality which catches the light at every turn of the wearer—makes up into a charming looking frock of the triple-tier order. The first satin band is applied at the base of the hips, the next one js placed two inches below the lower edge of the topmost one, and the final band at an equal distance, so as to come a trifie below the knees and practically congeal the underskirt. Sleeves in dull surah contrast sharply with a girdle and a sleeveless blouse in satin, the .latter opening over’''a’ white silk waistcoat, filled in with tulle folds. Fan-shaped wings, posed at regular intervals on the brim of ‘a black satin turban, lend width to the very chic model in autumn hats. Fetching Costume for Young Girl. Few costumes could be more fetch~ ing on a slender girl than this one in a dull and, » gleaming. fabric., It would also be good in voile or mar- quisette and satin, and for evenings it is easy to fancy it—with the neck and the sleeves of the bodice some- what changed—in white or a delicate shade of rose or blue, developed in tulle with satin. i Designers of early autumn models are not neglecting the jeune fille. Most appealing in a collection of late importations is the dark blue taffeta souple afternoon frock. Its overskirt differs radically from any of those in the young girl's summer wardrobe, because, while long and full and untrimmed, it falls in double box pleats from un- der a yoke draped in sash effect. This very youthful effect is further em- phasized by a deeply rounded out, sleeveless bodice, worn over a blouse in flesh-colored lace, whose wired col- lar makes a charming frame for a high-trimmed turban with a close- rolled: prim. The ¥nother of the young girl does not limit her in the matter of blouses for the sleeveless bodice, for @she knows that more than any other de- tail they freshen the costume. To this one in dark blue taffeta she will, if she is truly wise, add a second blouse in Saxe tulle and a third in deep cream lace, FOX'S TO HAVE SOME NOTED PICTURES{ An announcement coming direct from New York to the effect that Mr. Fox has signed with the World Film corporation and that all of ‘their magnificent and stupendous photo- play productions will be shown at all of the Fox theaters including his local one, will be met with general approval by all movie fans of the town.

Athens, Greece, July 9.—Confirma- tion of the capture of the important town of Koritsa, in southern Al- bania, by Albanian Mussulman insur- gents were received here-today. The fighting lasted three days, after which the Albanian government troops took to flight and the Dutch officers in command proceeded to Avlona. It was at first reported that the entire garrison, including some foreign officers, had been captured by insur- gents. i the operetta THEATRICAL NOTES. History has chronicled the careers of the girls of the original ‘“Flora- dora” sextette, but not a word about the boys. Here is something about one of them. He is Carl Stall who next season is going to sing and act the part of Racz, the Gypsy musician in Henry W. Savage’s production of “Sari."” Mr. Stall is a genuine original “Floradora” sextette boy. That was his first engagement on the stage. Previously he had studied voice in Milan, under Guilio Moretti for a year and then under Franz Emerich for three years. Af- ter his engagement with “Floradora” he returned to Italy and sang In grand opera in Barese. Mr. Stall is a native of Cincinnati and was edu- cated at Canasius college in Buf- falo. His father was a wealthy gro- cer. Mr. Stall says that of the five other boys with him in the first pro- duction of ‘‘Floradora” only one other is now on the stage. The remaining four have been very = successful in commercial pursuits. Miss Maude Hanaford, who is to play Ruth Ambrose in Holman Day’s comedy, “Along Came Ruth” that af- ter its successful run at the Gaiety theater in New York last season fis to be sent on the road this year by Henry W. Savage, its producer, de- clares she is the only actress in cap- | tivity who went on the stage at the solicitation of a manager and not at her own initiative. In Los An- geles, her home, she attended a dra- matic school because it had the best gymnasium in the city. She was af- ter the gymnastic training ‘but she was obliged to enroll in the school as a dramatic pupil and take the dra- matic course. She was rehearsed in a play that had a public presentation. Oliver Morosco saw the play and made her an offer to join his stock company in Los Angeles. Until that moment she had no intention of be- coming an actress. Now she is glad she is one. At the theatrical offices of Henry W. Savage, count was made the first week in June of the actual number of persons who called to apply for en- gagements for the coming season. From nine o'clock in the morning un- til five in the afternoon an attendant stationed at the entrance to the re- ception room of the engagement de- partment kept a careful record of callers by punching a register for every person who came in. From Monday morning until Saturday af- ternoon the exact number was three thousand one hundred and five. The greatest number on any day was five hundred and eighty-two, the smallest four hundred and fifty-three. Eleanor Brent who will be Every- woman next season in Henry W. Sav- age's production of Walter Browne's morality play of that name, set out to be a physician. She is a daugk- ter of the late Dr. Armstrong, of Washington, D. C., who was the med- jeal faculty at George Washington university. After finishing at the National Cathedral school at the time Ethel Roosevelt was a pupil, Miss Brent entered George Washington uni- versity and took the medical course. She studied for three years, then in 1905 ‘“chucked it” to go on the stage. that's what you really mean and 'you know that they know that’s you really mean. 1 was walking other day. down the street With one of these Bradstreet folks the The sharp look came into her eyes. “I don't believe Henry L. can be doing so well in business,” she said. “‘Just see how his house needs painting, Some of the Bradstreet folks, as ,descending and patronizing when they find you out. and he only has the gardener once a month now.” 1 said before, merely become pitiless.

NEW ACT GOES WELL ON KEENEY’S BILL Substituting for “The Cowboy’s Lesson,” which was presented as the headliner during the first part of the week, “The Captain and The Cop,” Brobst Brothers’ big act is receiving a warm welcome from the patrons of Keeney’s theater. The pair made a splendid showing yesterday and made a strong bid for the distinction of be- ing the big applause getters. They are good comedians and singers and dancers of the first order as well and their work is of high merit. The audience last evening was highly pleased with the act and was liberal with its applause. New episodes in “The Perils of Pauline” to be depicted by the Keeneyscope tonight as the special feature of the motion picture program should prove a big drawing card. This wonderful story told in films is regarded as the biggest success ever achieved in the moving picture in- dustry and in every city where the rhoto play is shown, capacity houses are the rule. The story has created censiderable interest in this city and it 1s probable that there will be a large audience on hand to see the latest chapters unfolded. Babe Anderson, the dainty little violinist, is a prominent figure among the entertainers this week. Babe has a fascinating stage presence which coupled with her clever playing of the violin make her extremely popular with the audience. ‘Will Carpenter, the human top, en- tertains with some whirlwind spin- ning besides giving a pleasing exhib- iticn of fancy roller skating. The Kegent Trio appears in a high class singing act. They are real har- monizers and their voices are heard to advantage in all numbers. The comedy in their turn is also of a high order. Kelly and Judge give a sensational acrobatic specialty, introducing sev- eral feats, the like of which have never before been attempted in this city. Other first class motion pictures, released this morning in New York, will be shown this evening. A Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast.
