The Development
of Styles
And How They Are Brought to the
"Popular"
Styl$ Movements" are not accidents they obey cer-
tain laws of human nature. "Styles" are not cre-
atedonly the idea is created. "Styles" like Topsy"
of Uncle Tom's Cabin "Just Grow." Ideas are "an
inspiration. Nothing ever becomes of a style until
there is a demand that the new idea be copied.
Paris and when "Pans' is mentioned in this con-
nection it mease that famous group of master in-
ventors of dress ideas does her best to keep out of
or ahead of the prevailing style. Literally thous-
ands of new ideas of bodily adornment are treated
in Pans every year. There is never a season when
Pans does not offer dress ideas which would have
the approval of Puritanical minds. It is not the
fault of Pans that the Quaker girl costume or
something equally simple and modest is not taken
up copied and made grow into a style.
The Part America Plays
A short while ago we heard much about "American"
fashions. American styles are nothing more nor
less than Pans styles adapted to the social con-
ditions and environments under which American
women live. The style created or the idea con-
ceived in Pans developed into the garment is
brought to America by the American manufacturer
who reproduces modifies or simplifies as the de-
mand may justify and here almost as quickly as
the original garment came to America America and
the "'Populat" have a dozen or more adaptations or
the counterpart itself to show but at a price ever
so much less than the original model would have to
bring.
On the Other Hand
Many of the so-called European styles originate
here in the United States. In many instances
gowns have been designed right here at home
later worn abroad copied by a French dressmaker
and as in one instance which we wot of the 'copy
was sent to America and gradually became the nov-
elty that we now know as the "Basque style" of
dresses.
The "Popular" Will Show
You These Styles
Adaptations and original reproductions of these im-
ported dresses in the modified or extreme styles
revealing a cleverness of following yet varying the
lashions. Wool serges gabardines poplins broad
cloths are used in combinations with satin mes
saline or with elaborately embroidered velvets or
ihnetyns in brilliant contrasts. The favored shades
are Russian green prune bronze African brown
ocean blue dark blue and black. One garment is
made with a clever bolero coat and a Redingote
eftect m the long pleated tunic Another has the
true "basque" blouse with the long tunic in wide
pleats Again one has the tunic skirt in yoke ef-
fect with the basque terminating in a long sash tied
at the side or back. These are shown in sizes for
the Miss of fourteen the small woman and for reg-
ular or extra size women Prices range from $10.00
$1250 $15.00 upward.

Thermos Bottles Are Necessities
"Thermos" bottles have long since been
adopted by mothers who are prudent for school
use. Wherever drinking water is not satis-
tory the "Thermos" bottle solves the ques-
tion and during the winter months it will
serve "piping hot coffee cocoa or soup that
means nourishment and vitality to growing
duldrefl.
Pint bottles are priced $1.00 to $2.00.
Quart bottles are priced $2.00 to $4.00.
Ail are guaranteed to keep hot 48 hours and
cold 72 hours. These should not be confused
by cheap imitations that are inferior in every
way.
Entire Week Will Be Devoted to
and the most dependable qualities.

Exquisite Filmy Laces
Are Triumphant at the
French Races
A statement accredited to one of the foremost style
critics of the age. For years this fashionable sport-
ing event has furnished America with correct in-
formation as to "What is What" m Fall Styles
and of still greater importance to Milady of fash-
ion here in El Paso is the fact that the "Popu-
larV showing of Laces and Trimmings m more
elaborate than ever before. The assortments we
invite you to iaspeet would do credit to any of the
largest stores in metropolitan cities. The Laces
that will be most used will be ehantilly in either
white or black fancy mesh net tops and fine
tulles. These we are showing in almost endless
-varieties in white ecru tan and two-tone effects
from the narrow edges suitable for neckwear and
sleeves to the widest flounces that are used in
tiered dresses and for making the long enveloping
transparent capes that will be worn much this eom-
ing falL
AND MOST NOTICEABLE OF ALL is the Tery
reasonableness of price for the European war will
not be permitted to affect the "Popular's" Prices. We
were fortunate in securing these laces and trimmings
before the "fur" began to fly as we did with fully
$0 per cent of our Fall and Winter stocks and
of course we will sell them at the same old prices
just as if there never was a war.
TRIMMINGS WILL BE MUCH USED AU Parisian
gowns are elaborately trimmed. Interesting news
also for the many new styles we are showing are
fascinatingly beautiful and will be viewed with much
pleasure by every woman who delights in the
exquisite.
FOR EVENING WEAR We are showing beaded
founcings in artistic color Mendings there are also
shown in the narrow widths with bands tassels and
ornaments to match.
JET TRIMMINGS are in great demand for both ev-
ening and street wear these furnishing the moat
desired Mack aad white effects.
EDGES Denn frsunciags band tassels and orna-
ments for every purpose are here' and priced as low
as is consistent with quality.
ORNAMENTS AND TASSELS in brilliant colorings
are much favored for these are lootfed to give that
"artistic spot" or daring dash of color that will be
in evidence the coming season.
WE INVITE the women of El Paso to visit this de-
partmentto just look and admire to their hearts
desire purchase if you will but that will not be
urged. We will gladly show you the new books and
illustrations of Pans styles that we have and the
matter of buying will never be mentioned.
The Hat You Will Wear
Will Be a Reproduction
Or An Original
Original models from Pans will not be scarce yet
awhile. Many dashing tieatwns have been brought
over and are still coming for they are neither con-
traband of war or have ships refused to carry them.
The Paris styles will mostly be huge wide brimmed
with a plentiful adornment of phje tip and feather.
Others will lie gorgeous in exquisite metal lace aad
flowers. Again the chic oeeominfr tnrban that fits
closely over the head will be muck in evidence as
will the popular black velvet sailor. The ostrich
feather has come into favor again. The larger shapes
are quite ' dashing with a splendid sweep of
feather. Black velvet is more than ever m fa-
Tar though white satin aad velvet are some-
times used in combination to good effect.
The "Popular" Millinery this season has attracted
much flattering attention and with dozens of new
models being added to stocks every day it is not to
be wonder! at that women say they rarely ever
see the same hats on display. We invite you we
want yon to come in and see the new hats as often
as you wish try on as many as you like yoa will
not be charged with wasting our time our time is
yours and we are here to serve you.

Your Corset Should
Be Right
"G0SSARD" CORSETS ARE THAT KIND Sosie-
times the most radical changes in fashion come so
slowly that one scarcely realizes their approach Hstfl
we find them firmly ensconsed and so it is with
the aew figure lines and poise. It takes a side by
side comparaoa with the lines of two seasons ago to
make us realize the fundamental difference. The fig
ure of the coming season is erect the poise easy and
normal with shoulders squared the body swung from
toe hips and the knees straight from low-heeled shoes.
The waist line is still large but the bast appears
again and hips and back have a slight curve though
they are restricted.
A "GOSSARD" FRONT LACING CORSET .is de-
signed to give the correct figure with more ease and
comfort than is possible to attain through any other
medium.
THE NEW FAIL "G0SSARDS" are ready for yoa.
Prices range from $2.00 $i50 to $8.50.
A Misses' "G0SSARD" is also shown at $2.00.
CUT JET NECKLACES ARE NEW The are own

THE NEW "B0UT0N" EAR SCREWS A novelty
that is worn much in the eastern cities. Shown in
Oriental pearl or in white t'sed with the cnt jet
they form a black and white combination so mwh
desired. The screws are gold filled and are shown
in large or small sizes 25c to $1.50.
