AMERICAN COWNS
DISPLAYED FOR CHARITY
Drooping Shoulder Effects and Full
Skirts Among the Modes—Short
Skirts and Trains
Xew York, Nov. 24.
In name of Charity a wonderful
fete has .just been given—a fashion
fete where only American designed
gowns were displayed! The proceeds
are to go to aid the suffering Belgian
women and children. It is safe to say
that many families will be thankful to
the enterprising society people in New
York whi) are responsible for the suc
cess -of this fete.
."tftie foremost dressmakers in New
City displayed their gowns, which
were designed especially for the occa
sion, each hoping, by some original idea
to catch the eves of the fashionable
audience and secure their custom to
themselves.
Ideas from many periods were com
bined with up-to-date styles to give
variety in the costumes. For instance
the drooped shoulder effect was shown
many times with skirts so full and
ripplv that they gave the appearance
of being over hoops. A dress of dis
tinctly modern silk and with the newest
basque effect in frnot had a drooped
waistline in the back and a real bus
tle! You couldn't mistake it!
Rich silks, brocaded, plain and
ribbed, chiffon. siU net, beaded net,
cloth of gold and silver were the ma
terial used for the evening gowns, which
were a prominent feature of the ex
hibition.
Broadcloth, velour, duvetyne and
velvet developed the street suits and
dresses.
The skirts were full short, even the
skirts to the evening dresses. Incon
sistent as fashion often is in these
dresßes they were sometimes short and
yet with a train in the back! One
evening dress was made of a peculiar
greeu, almost a peacock shade, covered
with a scrolly design which gave a
watered finish to the material. The
waist was made with a shallow V in
the frout and high in the back. The
skirt was short and slashed in the front.
|ln the back the skirt was slightly
longer than in front, but the whole ap-
Dearance was shorter than we have been
accustomed to. From the shouders hung
a long and narrow train of beaded net,
which did not touch the dress any place
but at the shoulders.
The long waisted moyen age effects
were seen as well as the short waisted

Empire effects. A dress of purple silk
net was made with this charming short
waist, a skirt hung rather full, draped
up slightly in the back and ending in a
modest train. At the back of the low
round neck was fastened a wide strip
of tulle which was caught with a ring
to one of the fingers of each hand. This

flowing effect of tulle is most popular.
Sometimes it falls the full length of the j
gown, sometimes it is short, and again
it is caught only upon one hand. Often
a scarf of tulle is worn with an even
ing dress. If the dress is white it may i
The Overdress a Popular Style
be in almost any delicate color, if the
dress has color in it, however, the scarf
should eorrespoud in some way with
I the coloring ot' the dress.
Another evening dross was of cloth
lof gold. The waist was made very full
| over a foundation of white satin. A
j soft ruffle of gold lace outlined the
j round neck. A bow of dull bluo rib
| bon, tied with long loops which were
| wired, was worn in place of the cor-
I sage bouquet. The skirt was made with
| double flounces each scalloped with deep
j rounded scallops. Gold lace edged these
j scallops. The skirt was ankle length.
Full skirts were prominent. Skirts
1 made with gores which rippled out in
I huge godets in the back. The drooped
j shoulder effect which was prominent in
the days of hooped skirts is also seen.
A taupe colored velvet dress had a
»waist opening in the back, perfectly
j plain in the front but with plenty of
' fullness so that it did not draw over the
I bust. This waist extended from a low
waistline up into a hfgh collar which
! wrinkled softly about the neck.
A jumper dress of dark green broad
cloth and velvet I have used for my
illustration. The over-dress is of broad
cloth braided in a simple but effective
design arouud the V-neck and deep arm
hole. The under-dress and skirt is of
velvet. The waist made with a simple
rolling collar. A flaring velvet hat with
a single quill for trimming was worn
with this dress.
The military styles which are fos
tered by the war was shown in a suit of
tan broadcloth. Down the front of the
coat were frogs made of black braid.
Bands of fur were used for the collar,
cuffs and for a band around the bottom
of the coat. This costume I have used
to illustrate.
With this dress was shown a charm
ing Dutch costume of white broadcloth.
The jacket was made like a full box
jacket, the fullness in the back rippling
in deep pleats. The collar, cuffs and
band around the bottom of the jacket
were curly white damb. When the jack
et was removed the dress underneath
showed a short jacket of hlue broad
cloth braided with,white braid. Around
the edges was an inch band of the fur.
This was worn over a rather full waist.
The skirt had the fullness disposed of
in pleats aronnd the waist and when the
bands were placed in the cunning side
pockets and held away from the body
the Dutch peasant effect was most pro
nounced. One almost expected to see
wooden shoes on the feet, but instead
very modprn white shoes peeped forth.
Hundreds Attend Barn Raising
Marietta,' Nov. 24.—Two fine barns
were raised yesterday which replace
the ones recently burned by incendiar
ies, and the work was engaged in by
hundreds of men and women. On the
A. B. Landis farm at Rohrerstown,
and on the Clayton Seitz property, at
( Mountville, the work was done. Both
F barns will be superior to the ones de
i stroyed.

Fritzi Scheff
-Miss Fritzi Scheft will appear in a
new comedy with music, ''Pretty Mrs.
Smith," at the Majestic to-morrow
evening, direct from the Casino thea
tre, New York. "Pretty Mrs. Smith"
is in three acts, with 'book by Oliver
tMorosco and Elmer Harris, music by
Henry James and Alfred Robyn and
lyrics by Earl Carroll. It is something
different in the way of light musical
entertainment ana is founded upon a
well-constructed comedy of farcical
leanings. There are numerous musical
additions, but these have been sub
ordinated to the main theme without
losing any of their effect. The score
serves to speed the action, instead of
Obtruding into the story.
The supporting company is headed
by Charlotte Greenwood and Sydney
Grand, Winter Gardeu favorites, and
includes George Anderson, Charles Pur
cell, Theodore Ba'bcock, Lillian Tucker,
James A. Gleason, Grace Shaw, Daisy

"The Garden of Girls"
The new show on the Columbia cir
cuit, scheduled at the Majestic Friday
afternoon and evening, is called "The
Garden of Girls" anil is a straight mu
sical farce in two acts, designated on
the program as an "inconsequential
medley," with burlesque features add
ed. There is action and ginger from
the rise of the curtain to the final
drop. It is said to be a crackerjai'k
singing show, from all advance ac
counts, and there is a chorus that can
sing and dance and will be one of the
big surprises of the entertainment in
point of class and beauty. The present
ing company names such well-known
artists as Snitz Moore, George B. Scan
lon, Alva McGill, Martha Edmond,
Heloise Horton, Beatrice La Due, Edna
Lee, Florence Fletcher, Harvey Greene,
Shaw and Lee and others. Adv.***
"The Yellow Ticket"
When the seat sale for the forthcom
ing engagement ot ''The Yellow Tick
et, '' at the Majestic Saturday, matinee
and night, opens on Thanksgiving
morning, theatregoers will have an op
portunity to reserve seats for one of
the sensational hits of the last the
atrical season in New York. The play
has the prestige of production by A. 11.
Woods, which insures not only elab
orate stage settings, but a fine cast as
well, not to mention the fact that it
has remained at Mr. Woods' own thea
tre (the Eltinge) for a solid year.
"The Yellow Ticket" has three acts of
tense drama, with a theme founded
upon race ■prejudices and the injustice
of the Russian government to its Jew
ish population. The main incident in
the play is the forced application of
Marya Varenka, a young and beautiful
Jewish woman, for the Yellow Ticket —
that badge of shame which is issued
by the Russian police to social out
casts. Adv.***
At the Orpheum
The beauty of the Thanksgiving bill
that came to* the Orpheum yesterday is
its general excellence and its many
varied and polished performers. This
applies to the opening act of Lynch
and Zeller, who have throughout a
happy novelty as comedy jugglers, down
to the Golden Troupe of whirlwind Rus
sian dancers, exquisite singers and mas
ter musicians. In the first act the en
tertainers are pleasing artists, appear
ing in evening dress, and depending en
tirely on their bright gags for their
laughs. They succeed admirably and so
do all the brilliant entertainers that
follow theni. Tnere's much that's nov
el and much that's clever in the sketch
of the Brunelle Sisters and Dave
Stevens. Their vehicle is called ''Ye
Olden Days and Present Ways." Two
distinct scenes are depicted, the artists
first appearing in togs and mannerisms
like they did when grandma was a girl,
and the* second as they do to-day.
A happy contrast is the result and
the situations, fiongs and dances are ad
mirably taken care of by the splendid
cast. Come<ly honors this week, how
ever, go undividedlv to McDevitt, Kel
ly and Lucy, presenting a roaring
farce, "The Piano Movers." This a*'t
alone is guaranteed to do as much good
as a whole box of digestion tablets.
After a b;g Thanksgiving dinner, "The
Piano Movers" nre the thing. Burr
and Hope have the prettiest and most
refined vocal specialty seen at the Or
pheum this season. It's English, an<
it's class. Then fell ore are Moore an<
Yates in "Who's Who and Which."
Their skit is as nonsensical as the title
but the artists are clever and there'
a big surprise in the act. And so 01
down to the Golden Troupe, the splen
did Russian offering. The Orpheun
management is announcing a twiligh
matinee for Thanksgiving l>ay, whid
will begin at 0.30 and end at 8.30.
