NEW BRITAIN DAIlV wERALD, MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1914. French Gray, Loveliest of Neutral Tones, is Newest Fall Combination Skirt of Chiffon Gown is B ordered With Embroidery in 1 White Beads Sprinkled With Gray BeadsfSum- mer Ermine Forms the Girdle. ‘With the French gray, that loveli- est of neutral tones and the one nearest akin to the plumage of the dove, is the newest combination for mutumn. Welcome it is, too, following es it does a summer which has been & riot of brilliant colors in feminine Barb. Positively restful are the models in this recent combination, and the va- rious ways in which it has been and is treated are proof that no one bet- ter than the creators of fashion ap- preciate its possibilities. A costume has just been launched which will instantly appeal to all women of taste, and particularly to those whose position makes faultless garb imperative, even though they must needs limit their annual ward- robe expenditures. While peculiarly refined and inconspicuous, there is nothing cold and characterless about | this creation, for the sray employed has a warmth suggestive of an ecru undertone. A Creation in Gray. The skirt of the chiffon gown, plain, rather full and gathered even 1y all around to its waistband, is bor- dered with an embroidery in minute white beads, with which are mingled a sprinkling of gray beads. | At both sides of the skirt this beading Is carried upward for about twelve Inches. . On the bodice it outlines the wide arm-eyes of low dropped shoul- ders, and also makes a straight. line directly across the shoulders at back and front. A wider band of the bead embroidery, trimming the front of the bodice, extends between the arm-eyes, KEENEY’S WEEK OF AUGUST 24.

So exceptionally full under the arms that it falls over the belt at the sides, this bodice is elsewhere. so closely gathered in that the waist ap- pears to be exceptionally slender. Long sleeves not wide anywhere, but almost smoothly fitted from the el- bows down and bead embroidered about the wrists repeat the slender ) lines produced by the wonderfully | simple bodice and_skirt. Summer Ermine Forms the Girdle. Summer ermine forms the girdle, which of itself is a distinctive detail of this gray and white gown. Sum- mer ermine is a fur verging toward tan, a shade which better than most blends with dove tones. 3 This three-inch wide strip of pelt spans the front and sldes of the waist, hut to its end from behind the under-arm seams are attached three-inch broad strands of white ribbon. These, dropped several inches, are box-knot joined over the gathered chiffon of the shirt. This position of the ribbon continuation of the pelt girdle lengthens the line of the waist at the back and makes an oddly fascinating break in the plain- ness at the top of the skirt. It is easy to imagine innumerable places where this most distinctive and refined looking of gowns might be ! worn, One can see it, the admired o1 all dress connoisseurs, in a theater box or in a restaurant after the play. Supplemented by a transparent guimpe, it will stand out in a throng of brilliantly colored or magpie gowns at a church wedding. And it will be alluringly cool looking during one of those unseasonably tumn -week-ends which send all fresh mir lovers seurrying to their favorite club. ‘Worn With a Wrap. A three-piece affair is this cos- tume of cleverly blended French gray and white, delicately warmed— | one might say illumined—with the | ecru of summer ermine. For it has a wrap in the shape of a loose jacket { in cloth precisely matching the shade of the chiffon, and carrying cuffs and a collar in summer ermine. “SEALED ORDERS” SEEN AT FOX'S “Sealed Orders,” the first big multiple reel war subject, prepared especially for motion picture presen- tation was shown at Fox’'s last night to a large and enthusiastic audience. The story is that of a titled spy en- gaged in transmitting military inform- ation to the threatening powers through the medium of carrier pigeons which he releases from an old mill on his estate, and about this noble rogue the action centers. “‘Sealed Orders” stands unequalled for the character and beauty of the scenery background employed, the sensa- tionalism, yet the correctness of the army and navy incidents depicted, powerful and convincing acting and photographic perfection. This master- ful six part war drama will also be shown today augmented by single reels of excellent quality which will round out as good a program as has yet been offered this season at this pop- ular theater. For tomorrow and Wednesday, Daniel Frohman presents through the Famous Players company the interna- tionally famous play, “Leah Klesch- na,” the story of a woman's regenera- tion by the noted dramatist, C. M. S. McMillan with the distinguished American actress, Carlotta Nillson, in the leading role. ‘“Leah Kleschna” ascends far above the plane of drama that merely interests and thrills. Its directness, simplicity and power are irresistible. Its moral is powerful and touches a responsive and sympathetic chord in the heart of all humanity. The situation of the woman burglar, reformed by the kindnees of the man whose house she attempts to rob, is one of the great- est sermons ever dramatized.

The other day a neighbor died. She had been walking along the side- walk when a passing automobile threw up a stone which bruised her face. In three days she was dead of blood polsoning. The absolute tragedy of it all lay in the fact that she had been asked to make one of a party of had refused. “John hasn’t had his car very long,” she explained, “and I have three little children dependent upon me. 1 do not feel that I should go anywhere 1 might be in danger.” What is more, for years she had ordered her life with this same view in mind, not to incur danger! She had denied herself pleasures; had stayed home while others went automobiling or sailing in the power boat, because automobiles and power boats were & source of danger! Sources of danger! Where are they or rather where are they mnot? How can we escape from them? True, people do die in automobiles and in motor boats. Likewise they die in beds and in bath tubs. Drowning is both unpleasant and frequent, but it js no less pleasant and nowhere near as frequent as apoplexy. For months, because of an unquestionable element of da: r which now and then claims a victim, this wgman had denied herself certain pleasures in which thousands of people indulge daily with absolute immunity. She had children dependent upon her; but fate, unmindful of her precautions or her children, stepped in and snatched her away. The doctor, consoling her husband, added that it was too bad she hadn't gotten outdoors more, because her blood would have been in bet- ter condition and less liable to Infection. To blame her for wanting to avojd all danger for her children’s sake would be unkind and unjust. But one cannot help pitying her for a loss of perspective and a blind, senseless gystem of petty precautions against the one great force before which man stands helpless; a system which was a source of deprivation to herself and an exasperation to her husband and her friends. The last few years of her life she did not really live; she guarded herself against death. She watched over 2 hundred entrances through which death might come. She knew the danger that lurks in a pin prick; of the bacillus that might make a mortal Wound of a scratch. She watched with fascinated eyes the match with which her husband and his friends lit thely after dinner cigars. She protested, la ughingly taxed with her deep ocone cern over the match’s final disposition, that she wasn't going to “be burned like a rat in a trap.” And so it went. 8he watched over a hundred entrances through which danger and death might come upon her; but death, free to use thousands of entrances over which no mortal can hope to stand guard, stalked down upon her nevertheless. Life no longer presented itself to her in friendly guise. It that afternoon automobilists and was but ! death, wearing many masks, The tragedy of that! For, as Stevenson says, “So soon as prudence has begun to 8row up in the brain, like a dismal fungus, it finds its first expression in a paralysis of generous acts. The victim begins to thrink spiritually. To be overwise is to ossify, and the scruple monger ends by standing stock still.” in ‘each package of FRICTION TRANSFER PATTERNS.

BIG TRAPEZE ACT ON KEENEY’S BILL There is no act on the vaudeville stage that can be compared with the trapeze performer for daring and real skill. One imperfect move and all is .over but the young beauty who is on the bill for Keeney's theater this week never makes a mistake and as a result her act is one of the best to be seen in this country to- day and it is so recognized. It is a most sensational act and is believed to be the headliner of the vaudeville stage. This is by no means the only big act on this week’s bill.

The variety in the bill will be fur- nished by Graham and White, who are down on the program as the two musical ladies, a term that well be- comes them for if there is anything about music that they have not mas- tered it is because it has escaped the most competent teachers in this or any other country. Steffana Brothers have a comedy act that is brimful of fun and the alweys big Keeney audiences are bound to enjoy it. Riley and O'Neil have an interesting sing- ing and dancing turn that is bound to please, making a bill that is sure to produce an evening’s fine entertain- ment. In addition to the vaudeville gcts will be moving pictures, particularly those of the Hearst-Selig company which will include all the up-to-date scenes that have been attracting at- tention recently.
