--'''■■-'■'■'Models Copied
New York.—The woman who has
been going the rounds will be able to
check off on her lingers the French
models that have been over-copied al-
ready, although the season of wearing
new clothes lias scarcely begun. She
may even know the names that have
been given to these frocks in the Paris
salon, but if, through lack of inter-
est, she does not go that far. she
knows the name of the maker and
the source from which the gown
sprang.
There is the Bulloz gown which goes
merrily on its way into the realms of
the ready-to-wear departments. Its
velours folds clings to many a figure,
and the broad gold mesh bag that cov-
,crs the front of the figure and forms
a peplum to the belt, dangles and
jangles at many a restaurant.
The gown by Jenny called Mn
Cheri, woul(JL bring its creator a snug
little fortune if she had a royalty on
every time it was copied.
You know- this gown, don’t you? It
is of black velvet and white satin. It
is quite simple, with its slim bodice
■that runs below the waistline into a
rounded curve to which the skirt is
slightly gathered, its cravat girdles
that loosely encircle the waist, its
loose, elbow sleeves finished with a
turn-over cuff of white satin, and the
broad, folded surplice-bib of white
satin put around the neck and tucked
into the waistline.
Odd Origin of Name.
Possibly, however, you do not know-
why Jenny named this gown Ma
Cherie. It is a copy de luxe of the
black and white uniform worn by the
women who serve the soldiers in Paris
at the restaurants and in the canteens.
The American soldier has learned to
call all these helpful and agreeable
This evening gown has a straight
silhouette and Is made of black chif-
fon velvet, with bodice and low girdle
of white satin. The front of the bod-
ice is braided with black silk, and the
short sleeves are of white chiffon.
waitresses by the one French phrase
he has quickly learned, “Ma Cherie.”
So Paris, with its quick love of a
nickname, has adopted the title for its
waitresses who serve the% soldiers.
Jenny quickly saw the' possibilities
of a popular gown in this friendly lit-
tle salute and therefore copied the
"black and white uniform in velvet and
satin, adding some brilliant, ornament-
al rhinestone buttons; and the Ameri-
can buyers swung it into line as the
biggest success of this season.
There are two other gowns that were
inspired by the sentiment between the
French public and the American sol-
diers, and these are sweeping upward
on the crest of the wave of popularity
as well as Ma Cherie. One is Jeanne
Lanvin’s Pershing, which is in a re-
markable tone of army gray and whnt
is called American blue. It could real-
ly be called Maryland blue along with
the Maryland brown, for" it is the ex-
act shade of the wild ducks, that one
shoots and eats on the Maryland
shores.
This Pershing gown looks some-
what like an army overcoat. It hangs
straight, in the form of a chemise, and
Is loosely and roughly girdled in.
Lanvin has another cowboy costume
that runs in the snipe channel with
“Pershing.” It is of khaki cloth
trimmed with itself slashed into the
deep fringes by the Arizona men.
It has a sturdy, slouchy, artistic air.
It is quite adorable on the youngste*
who pitches on a cowboy hat of black
panne velvet as an adjunct to its khaki
tones.
Then there is another gown by
Bulloz which is well known and which
carries out his idea of using the Per-
sian tree of life as a means of or-
namenting the skirt. You may re-
member that the sensational gown
called “Griselidis” which was worn
last season by Mary Garden when she
sang the opera by that name, also had
this symbolic Persian embroidery as
its claim to fame.
Blazing Embroidery on Skirt.
This new gown is of black tulle and
satin, with slight cascades formed by
ruffles that go across the front of the
figure and ripple down the sides; these
ruffles are edged with silver ribbon,
and they display, as though they were
a lifted curtain, the audacious and
blazing embroidery on the front of the
skirt. In the center, just where these
curtain ruffles are lifted, there is a
huge Persian ornament that m&ght
have been worn by Haroun-al-Iiaschid.
This gown is for the few, not the
many. -
It is well that a woman should know
most of the over-popular French mod-
els before she spends money on clothes,
because if she is ignorant of these par-
ticular expressions of the fashion by
certain designers, she is apt to buy a
gown of which she will become ex-
ceedingly we.i#y before Christmas.
However,, she is the only one who
can judge whether or not she wants
to wear what everyone else has, or
something different.
The shops have copied most of the
French models, and will sell the origi-
nals at any price they can demand.
The American copies ure not exact and
are often more adaptable to our so-
cial life and activities than the origi-
nals. We have progressed so far in
fashions that we take the French sil-
houette, a peculiar kind of material or
trimming, a high neck or a long
sleeve, and we make a salad of our
own of these ingredients. This is as
it should be.
The originality and inventiveness of
our apparel people have been expended
on the one-piece frock and topcoat.
This is the fundamental fact that one
gathers from reviewing all the clothes
by all the people.
There are frocks that are warm
enough for the street with a bit of fur
or one' of the swinging, army capes
which have not been ousted from fash-
ion by popularity.
There are thin one-piece frocks that
need a sturdy coat over them to give
protection. There are afterpoon
frocks that may serve, as far as color
.and fabric go, for restaurant and the-
ater frocks, with the addition-of a fur
coat.
The tailored suit is not offered for
any kind of ceremonial occasion. It is
worn by the individualists and by
those who feel that they are not com-
fortably dressed unless they are in
this kind of conventional harness.
One-Piece Frocks Popular.
The girl who works, the woman who
plays and the millionarie In Bed Cross
activities are different types of women
who go in for the one-piece frock and
get the variety which they insist they
need in life by adopting this kind of
costum ery.
Never before has there been such a
collection her* of one-piece black vel-
vet gowns. They greet one at every
glance of the eye. No one has tried
to make them portentlous or unduly
ornamental. The severe ones, which
are the best ones, have the now fa-
mous surplice bodice which is drawn
across the bust and passed around the
waist to tie in the back or brought for-
ward to tie in the front. The skirt
has a bias, tunic to give slimness, or
it is very slightly gathered and has
an almost iimperceptible inward curve
at the hem.
Velveteen is offered for serviceable
frocks, and chiffon velvet for indoor
gowns.
Beige colored frocks trimmed with
Kolinsky, putois and Hudson seal are
common and yet altogether satisfying.
When these thin frocks have fur hems,
there is a velvet and fur coat that goes
over them.

per Syndicate.)
Waists Normal to Long.
All dresses except those designed
for young girls show either a normal
or a long waist line, says the Drygoods
Economist. The Various lines for
college and high school girls have
rather short waists or by means
of wide girdles give a general effect
of short waists. The use of vividly-
colored plaid silks for trimming these
misses’ serge dresses seems to be
growing in favor. Colors follow close-
ly those shown in coats and suits,
with a leaning, perhaps, of nnvy and
other shades of blue, which are not
seen except In a few suits.

State insurance in Australia shows
gratifying results. It has been found
possible to pay a bonus of 10 per cent
on ordinary policies, and to make oth-
er concessions. Reserves are being
built up and expenses met. This re-
niorkable success is attributed to the
very low expense ratio of the. office,

ACID POISONING!
The most eminent physicians recognize
that uric acid stored up in the system is
the cause of gout and rheumatism, that
• this uric acid poison is present in the
joints, muscles, or nerves. By experi-
menting and analysis at the Invalids’
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y., Dr. Pierce discovered a combina-
tion of native remedies that he called
An-u-ric, which drives out the uric acid
from the system, and in this way the
pain, swelling and inflammation subside.
If you are a sufferer from rheumatism,
backache, pains here or there, you can ob-
tain Anuric, double strength, at any drug
store and get relief from the pains and
ills brought about by uric acid; or send
Dr. Pierce 10c for trial pkg. Anuric which
you will find many times*more potent than
lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar. A short trial will
convince you. Send a sample of your
water to Dr. Pierce and it will be tested
free of charge.
Anuric is a regular insurance and life-
saver for all big meat eaters and those
Who deposit lime-salts in their joints.
