The waist is girdled by a wide piece of Alice blue taffeta rib- bon. At this same shop very pretty blouses may be had at extremely low. prices, ) Simple Blue Crepe de Chine. A most attractive gown for street wear is seen in another model. It Is of dark blue crepe de chine, and the walist js trimmed only with the three covered bittons which fasten it. Buttons adorn the wide basque-like girdle which extends to the hips, and also fasten at the wrists the long set in sleeves. The skirt has a long tunic opening in front over a crepe de chine drop skirt, Faille Ribbon Vestee. This same shop is showing a very smart street gown of dark blue can- ton crepe, Long set-in sleeves are finished with turn-back cuffs of white faille ribbon, and collar and vestee are of white faille fastened with small ribbon covered buttons piped with blue crepe. Tucks extend from the shoulders a little way down the waist, while just “above the waistline two straps cross over the vestee. The crepe skirt is made with long straight tunic. Gabardine Is Pleated. Gabardine is, so fine and flexible that no one is surprised to see it pleat- ed in all possible ways. One excel- lent model has a hip-deep yoke from which is suspended a widely side- pleated section, which, only partly stitched down, makes a very narrow looking but actually a rather wide skirt, - Below the self belt its front center panel—a single box pleat—is broken by a hip-long black satin vest, whicn above the waist line opens narrowly over the elongated fronts of a white linen collar. A low-rolling gabardine collar finishing the satin vest brings a line of blue between the white and the black materials on the fronts of a bodice whose low-dropped shoulders support narrow three-quarter sleeves. These sleeves, fitted closely to the fore-arms, are lengthened by mous- quetaire cuffs in white linen, outer- side-seamed under the narrowest of self-frillings, Throat and Wrist Finishings. That there are no frillings about the neck of the frock makes no dif- ference. To have the throat and wrist character is no longer obligatory. This new wrinkle on the part of Mme. Fashion obtains in the double-tier skirt and the sleeve- less basque models, but in a fourth new design the a-jour-hemmed, dis- tinctly nautical white linen collar matches broadly turned-back cuffs. The cuffs are attached at the wrists of black satin sleeves fitted behina —not into—the wide arm-eyes of a frock which, save for 1its narrow girdle, low-knotted upon a finely pleated skirt, is all of gabardinc. The bodice does not blouse because of any extra length between waist and shoulders, but because of the ex- treme width of its fronts and its loose- | hanging arm-eyes, Latest Episode CAN BE.

Another attraction of great | interest to the New Britain theater- | goers is the filming of John Bunny in one of the best comedy reels of the season and it is one continual scream from the start to the finale of the story. *“Such a Hunter” is the title of his most recent work, and with the beautiful Flora Fitch in his sup- port, the Fox patrons will enjoy a hearty laugh. The balance of the program is made up of some more comedies all in all rounding out two solid hours of the best and most re- fined amusement. SOLDIERS CHEERED IN KEENEY PICTURES It was impossible for the big dience at Keeney’'s theater last even- ing to refrain from observing the spirit of neutrality as laid down by President Wilson as the soldiers ot the various armjes passed in the ple. tures. The audience applauded the favorite soldiers but it was a regi- ment of Bavarian cavalry that ceived the most vociferous attention. It was a fine looking body of men and the horses appeared as if they were to enter the show ring. The Ford automobile works was also shown in pictures, explaining how the cars are made and turned out, a thousand a day. This same picture will be shown today and tomorrow as will Miss Mary Pickford, the cele- brated actress. The picture program for the remainder of the week is very fine one, a change being made each day. . The vaudeville program is suffi- ciently varied to please any one ana the audience is quick to respond to the fine work of the company. The two musical ladies, Graham ana Hackett, 'are growing in popularity with each performance. They have a very fine act which includes vocal ana instrumental music and one of the ladies gives a recitation with good effect. The beauty on the trapeze has no superior in daring and Riley and the O'Neil twins are as funny as ever, the Japs are a very clever troupe in their balancing and the lady who climbs the pole and per- forms various stunts while another holds her on her shoulders is an aet au- re- | and: are is New bill all through is of the’ - rest. taken with the pictures, which always good. the entertainment one of the best ever seen in Britain.

London, Aug. 27, 8:15 P, M.—A manuscript on scientific work fillea with names of bacteria and formid- able sounding terms got Dr. H. P. Schuhmarn, of Chicago, into terfous trouble at Dijon, Franc:, while he was traveling fron: Switzerla-d England. Dr, Schuhmann has been writing a book during a stay at Lucerne, where Mrs, Schuhmann headed the American relief committee. Accompanied by his wife and daughter, he left for Paris on August 23. Arriving at Dijon, the travelers found it necessary to change trains and also to show their passports and huve their baggage examined. The doctor was not molested until the sta- tion agent noticed the trouble-mak- ing manuscript in his pocket. The paper interested the Frenchman, who, after a brief inspection of it, ordered the arrest of the owner. Questioned regarding his antecedents, the Chicago man admitted that for ten years he was a student in Germany, and this seemed to confirm the suspicion that he was a German spy. Doctor’s Narrow Escape. Made desperate by the thought of leaving his wife and daughter without railway tickets or money, while he was sent away on a train, Dr. Schuh- mann called wildly in French for a physician. The ruse worked, for his captors, believing he was ill and per- haps poisoned, summoned a French military surgeon. The latter came run- ning, and Dr. Schuhmann, wrenching himself free from his captors, thrust his manuseript into the hand that had reached for his pulse, The surgeon recognized the scientific names in the work, and as a result the American's explanations were accepted and he was set at liberty. Dr. Schuhman caught his train as it was drawing out of the station. He was crowded into a third class com- partment, where he rode standing up for eighteen hours, Many wealthy Americans in Switz- erland have been victimized, Dr. Schuhmann said, by paving $700 for a berth on a steamer which was ad- vertised to sail from Genoa during the first week of the war, but which is still in port. He states that Ameri- cans in Switzerland were generously treated by the hotels, but that the banks demanded an unreasonable rate of exchange until he and James Still- man, of New York, took the matter up with the American legation and obtained an independent supply of money.
