.. "NEW BRITAIN DAV wERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1914 Black Satin Is Being Used More Now Than Fashion Scribes Ever Heard Of No One Knows the Reason But It Contrbutes Greatly to Effect of Many New Models—Basques Are Respon- sible for Appearance Black satin, in yardage or ribbon, has more vogue than has been its por- tion within the memory of the most elderly of fashion scribes. What is the reason for it no one preténds to know. That it contributes greatly to * the effect of many new models, no one denies. Both piece satin and ribbon are em- pioyed in the development of an after- roon costume which has two of the salient features of current models—the much ruffled skirt and the long, plain basque. That basque, in black satin, is dart- less and is seamed only on the shoul- ders, where it lies smoothly, and at the sides, toward which it puckers from blindly' closed fronts. Black tulle sleeves, set plainly into short-should- ered arm-eyes, gain fullness as they lengthen toward the wrist, where they are twice shirred, making a wide puff band behind deep ruffles. Basque Sponsors for Neck Ruffs. Basques are responsible for the ap- ap‘&nnce of a new neck ruff that is eagerly welcomed by the woman who rever liked the low cut bodice, even vhile adopting it—since one may as well be out of the world as out of fashion. The new ruff is from four to five inches high and straight up from the throat’s base, framing the face as petals frame the 1 calyx of a flower. It goes far toward balancing the effects of hats whose brims steadily grow wider. Clearly the ruff is per- fectly suited to the long basque, for it carries out the severe lines of its front and back as no turned-over frill could possible do. % On the satin basque above described the ruff is gathered under an upstand- «¢ ing neck band of black satin ribbon of * the samé width as that bordeding six black maline ruffles trimming the skirt from hips to feet. Five of these ruffles stand perkily away from their founda- tion, while the lower one, somewhat drooping and incredibly scant, gives the costume a narrow appearance about the ankles, The same effect’is repeated at the shoulders. Hats Now of Exaggerated Width. Of exaggerated width just now, al- though it will not be so when the win- ter shapes are to be seen everywhere, is the hat which accompanies this af- ternoon frock. It is of black velvet, fat of crown, but so broad of brim that the flatly laid white aigrette trimming it'extends far beyond the shouiders of the wearéef. b3 7.X Picot-edged satin ribbon .is very ¥ much worn. Entire skirts, practically, are made of it, That these are im- 11ensely appealing goes without say- ing. trills is something essentially nine. Imagine 7 picot-edged black satin ribbon ruffles trimming a satin skirt from hips to feet! Tube-narrow and & tube-shaped is that foundation, skirt and on it the ruffles are so placed that the picot of each successive ruffle comes two inches above the corded heading of the one imediately pre- ceding it. ; To this fascinating ‘skirt ‘belongs a white blouse—the filmiést of affairs in maline—almost concealed, save for its ~wbishop’s sleeves, by the broadest of tlack satin shoulder drapings. Level with the armpits, these drapings run under a third wide strip of satin swathing the figure crosswise and forming its bodice. Below the hor- izontal strip at the raised waist line, th eshoulder drapings become a sash, twice swathe the waist and hips and at the left of back are joined in two ends which fall over the skirt. Ermine Adorns Black Satin. Ermine is very cleverly used to lighten and enrich certain black satin costumes.

Some distance below the knees the overskirt is widely bordered with a black fox band, which serves to hold it well away from the figure and, by contrast, makes the white skirt seem exceptionally narrow. Cording Flattens Hip Fulness. About the hips the fulness is flat- tened by double strands of heavy black silk cording.

Thesatin sleeves, narrow and set into short shouldered arm-eyes, end at the wrist with deep frills of white lace matching a collar, sole trimming of the bodice. Very modest is this collar. Slightly rolled at the back of the neck, whose nape it veils, it runs to short points under the ears, turns back slightly be- iow the throat and tapers into flat ly- ing bands defining and filling in the sharply pointed fronts of the bodice.

New Britain audiences a goodly part of last season. The tense story of a powerful struggle against conspiracy and treachery, for a heart and throne is vividly and minutely depicted, and the least one can say is that it is the last word in motion picture produc- tions. This masterful production will also be shown today with a change of the single reels which augment the excellent program, and those who have not as yet seen this excellent feature will do well to drop into Fox’s theater, and be convinced that none but the very best photo plays are shown there. The single reels for today, exclu- sive of the big Famous Players fea- ture, are ‘“The Hearst-Selig News Pic- torial” that much looked for periodi- ca] showing the most recént and im- portant happenings the world over, which includes the very latest war news, Iniversal Ike,” that extreme- ly funny character in one more of his excruciatingly funny episodes, and two others that will round out two FREE ADVICE T0 SICK WOMEN Thousands Have BeenHelped By Common Sense Suggestions.

The theme solid hours of pleasing and highly entertaining features. For tomorrow and Saturday an- other Famous Players Film produc- tion, ‘“Tess of the Storm Country,” will be offered with America's fore- most- screen artist, Mary Pickford, in the leading role. Mary Pickford, the celebrated screen artist in ‘‘Tess of the Storm Country” attains a dra- matic triumph greater than any that has yet distinguished her phe- nomena] career. “Tess of the Storm Country,” the drama of a woman’s unconquerable faith, written by a woman who knows her sex, will ap- peal to the entire feminine popula- is full of uplift and the dramatic situations often force a-tear of which one need not be ashamed. Mary Pickford as Tess, the ragged little “Squatter” girl, dirty but beautiful, rude, wilful, saucy, but noble and self-sacrificing, renders a portrayal of inexhaustible fascination. During the series of the Famous Players’ productions the prices of admission will be the same as heretofore charged. ASKS FUNDS FOR RED CROSS WORK IN WAR Contributions for the Red Cross fund for European war relief work have been coming in very slowly from | the United States, it is announced in a letter sent out by Miss Mabel Board- man, chairman of the national exec- utive committee, at Washington. Funds are needed at once to send over the Red Cross ship with a corps of surgeons and nurses and surgical equipment and hospital supplies. Don- ors who wish to do so, it is explained, may designate the country for which they wish their contributions used. Miss Boardman writes in part: “It seems strange that a year ago, in two weeks' time, about $2,000,000 came in for the Ohio flood relief and that The Good Time Atmosphere By RUTH CAMERON. The desire of mankind for happiness is the most deeply imp of human instincts. It always irritates me when I hear some crab! old person say in criticism of a young girl, “She is too fond of a good) time.” ‘ Why shouldn’t she be fond of a good time, Mrs. Crustyness? If she) weren’t, she wouldn’t be a normal young person. There is somethin wrong about people when they stop liking a good time, They havi crushed a normal instinct and it maknes them abnormal, To like a good time and to try to have one is not selfish in itself. It is only when you make that the sole object of your life and trample heed. lessly on other people’s feelings to attain it that it becomes selfish. Besides, people who have a good time make other people have a goo time. They are a joy to have about, They carry the good times atmosphe; with them. “Is Margaret going on the picnie?” we ask. ‘‘That is splendid, will surely have a good time.” We know that Margaret is one of th whole-souled, energetic, jolly folke wWho are always looking for a good time,| who find it in the simplest things and who incidentally help others find it, “I have given up trying to have a good time,” I heard a woman the other day. .“There’s too much work to be done in the world."” It sounded very fine and self sacrificing, but is it the best attitude? Stevenson says, “Our greatest duty to our neighbor is to make him a little happier if we can,” and I don’t think this woman fulfills that duty. She has stopped having a good time; she never has the good times mosphere about her. Quite to the contrary. As a result her childrens! and husband feel thig lack in their home, although I doubt if they ecould define it, and they are happier out of the house than in it. She is doing her duty towards them in a material sense, and absolutely failing them in the way Stevenson defines our duty. You may remember the little prayer of which I told you, “Help ma to be happy and to make others s0.” To my mind that is an all em petition, and I am sure that nobody could fulfill those conditions, who has ceased to care whether he has a good time or not. Don’'t stop wanting to be happy. It isn't good for you or anyene ahout Learn to be less selfish and indifferent to others in yoeur seareh for you. It's healthy and normal to feel that happiness. but keep on wanting it. way. One thing more,—did you ever thank one of those people who e gift of happiness and who bless the world by sharing it? I did ¢ other day and found him unconscious of his service, and deeply hed] by my acknowledgement, You see he always carried the good time ats mosphere with him, and so he never realized what it meant to be with. out it, and how much his presence bestowed. The entrance of some people into a room is as if another candle were lighted, but since they bring the| brightness with them, they do not realize the change they have made. 1C - Daily Fashion Talks BY MAY: MANTON mainly in Massachusetts, and that when the Messina earth- | quake occurred $1,000,000 was do- nated.
