On Friday Last, in Independence
Square, General Pershing
Walked
under trees where George Washington, Ben Franklin
and Marquis Lafayette a century and a half ago
often walked communing together and planning for
the new America.
In the ovatjon to General Pershing, as he moved
and spoke as he gazed over the scene blocked in by
people that overflowed the square and filled the four
streets around it, the great commander's words and
manners bore evidence of a special inspiration for
the unique occasion in which he stood out and above
all others.
His immense physical strength was apparent
when he stood with two hands handling a large
shovel and his foot upon it to fill it for the bedding
Of the Pershing tree.
General Pershing planted in Philadelphia a good
deal more than one tree.

The Glorious New
Paris Hat
and All Fall Millinery
Fashions Recall the Fashions of
the Days of Louis the Grand
Harking back to the splendor and magnificence of the
fashions of Louis XIV" and Louis XV, the new Paris modes
recall the beauty and richness of the modes of the eighteenth
century. Quite free again to devote herself to creating new
fashions, after months and years of the reign of the War God
and a consequent somberness of diess, Paris seems to have out
done herself this Autumn.
Here are the very latest hats from Paris many were lifted
from their boxes but a day or so ago. And not only are the
newest fashions here but the fashions are those of the foremost
Paris modistes.
Marcelle Demay x
11 Rue Royale, Paris
sends a special and exclusive collection of the newest modes
for the Winter. These hats are never copied, and are
always original and distinctive.
From Other Paris Modistes
come original, daring, unusual and charming new chapeaux

Lewis Jeanne Due
Marie Lancret Odette
Vasseltn Vitteard Suzanne Talbot
Helene Julia Louise Narsy
Hats Turn Off the Face
Trimmings Turn Down
and there you have the new fashion trend for the Winter. Wide
brims which flare away from the face hats with sharply up
turned brims these are extremely smart.
Feathers, fur, ornaments these turn down toward the face
and away from the hat and that is another newness you will
note.
There is VELVET EVERYWHERE AND MANY FEATH
ERS. Soft, rich silken velvets in the loveliest colors feathers
stiff and straight and cutled (and plenty of ostrich!) are all
indicative of the new fashions.
HATS ARE MEDIUM SIZE AND LARGE QUITE
LARGE huge', sometimes!
Browns are fashionable in ever so many shades! Nasturtium
browns and duller, deeper browns, wood-like browns and shades
that suggest the Autumn itself, coppery reds and new blues,
gold shades and blues, American Beauty and turquoise all these
you will see in the hats themselves.
