HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance, 1910-03-10, Page 2Evening gowns are not supposed to be
in Buell demand during Lent as in, the
season weeding or following, but if
the truth were told the fashionable wo-
man finds quito as many opportunities
to wear the smartest of evening gowns
throughout the entire Lenten season.
Dinners on the most elaborate order are
quite consistent, while the informal ones,
.as well as "cards," furnish plenty of oc-
casions when a costly evening gown can
be displayed to the best possible advau-
tage. After all, at a dinner or evening
musicale a costly gown shows far bet-
ter than in a crowded ball room, and if
the wearer is not a debutante or one of
the young married set she may wear the
most gorgeous of raiment and have it
pass by virtually unnoticed.
As is always the case when any one
fashion reigns supreme for any length
of time, it is supresded by one absolute-
ly unlike it; there is no gradual soften-
ing of the blow, no modifying of the
original plan, until it merges in theetext,
and the sharper the contrast between
the two styles the more is the new one
universally accepted. Soft, clinging
fabrics, thin, transparent materials -
these for months have reigned supreme
in the choice of winter evening gowns,
and this despite the fact that many of
the leading dressmakers in Paris have
exhibited the most costly and effective
brocade and velvet gowns; but only re-
cently, within the last few weeks, have
they made their a,ppearanca and found
favor here. This is not saying that they
have not been included in many a fash-
ionable outfit for the winter, but they
have not been seen to any great extent,
while the magnificently embroidered and
frilled tulle and lace tunics have been
• veritably omnipresent.
Superb, costly, magnificent are adjec-
tives best fitted. to describe the brocades
that are fashionable this season. The col-
orings are marvelously beautiful, but the
designs and textures are also so wonder-
ful that the woman who delights in fine
materials finds it hard to resist their
allurements, and unless she be providad
with an unusually liberal dress allow-
ance she will not be able to purchase
recklessly. Fabrics that °an stand alone
are associated with the heroines of old-
en time materials that our grandmoth-
ers and great-grandmothers wore many
times and then laid away in the old
Chests, whence they are now dragged
forth by their fortunate descendants -
all are recalled and sometimes excelled
by the brocades of to -day, for there is a
softness and. delicacy of texture in the
modern manufacture that gives an add
ed charm; for the too stiff silks and sat-
ins of days gone by were not 'woven
with so much thought of their adapta-
bility to the fashion of the moment and
as to whether they could be made to fit
or drape so well. The well gowned wo-
man of to -day, deeply as she appreciates
beauty of coloring and material, has no
use for either if theogown does not fit
and give her good lines, showing every
good point of her figure.
Magnificent Brocades.
Gold and silver brdcades or brocades
with much gold or silver woven through
out are apt to be heavy and. stiff and
difficult to handle, but there are many,
many different, weaves, and among them
are to be found. any number that appar-
ently combine all that can be desired.
Picture gowns they are, on the stately
order, these brocade evening gowns with
long, sweeping trains that shoat to the
greatest advantage the color atm quality
of the fabric. Turquoise blue and gold,
gray and silver, white and gold, yellow
and gold -these are a few of the com-
binations in zolor and pattern that are
the most popular, the white and. gold
and gray and silver beierz earried out in
bold designs on the plain ground. There
are some patterns as well in small de-
sign, and the effect is of frosted silver
on the plain ground. Gold on white is
eo much more effective in the larger de-
signs that they are almost invariably
chosen in preference.
The one eolor in two or three tones is
extremely poptilar also in large designs,
and the colors are incest Charming. There

are shades of blue and shades of rose
pink that 'are becoming to blonde and.
brunette alike, while in pale mauve there
are seine shades that would baffle the
cleverest of artists to produce.
With a material in itself so decorative
there is not the same call for elaborate
trimming; in fact, all trimmings for
brocade gowns must be enost carefully
chosen, only the finest lace being used.
Point de Venise seems the most appro-
priate and, fortunately for the average
pocketbook, it is not essential to use a
great deal of it. jewelled trimminge are
appropriate, but only of the most ex-
pensive order, while the long .strings and
ropes of imitation pears or gold or silver
beads that are tied into a girdle are on
the same picturesque order demanded by
-
the fashion.
A touch of black is sometimes to be
seen. A fascinating gown of rose pink
brocade has a trimming on the waist of
the finest Chantilly lace embroidered in
jet, and it is most effective, although not
nearly so handsome as the style on which
the point de Venise is used. The bro-
cades in which two colors are combined
are included in the fashionable designs,
but are not so popular as yet. One de-
sign that has met with favor is a pale
gray brocaded with pink. It is effective,
rather striking, and is trimmed with
bands of elaborate jet embroidery. It
challenges attention, but does not re-
ceive half the praise of the one color
brocade or the gold or silver, one reason
being that it is so often imitated in the
cheaper quality of silk.
While it goes without saying that bro-
cade gowns such as have been described
are expensive luxuries and only suitable
for fornsal entertainments, it is foolish
for the average woman to think a bro-
cade gown absolutely beyond the reach
of her pocketbook. All the year around
there are to be found by the clever shop-
per odd lengths of brocade, queer but
fascinating in color and design, that can
be bought at surprisingly small outlay.
It does not require an endless amount of
material to make the severely plain
model that is the smartest- of all. The
lace is costly, but then there are always
to be found in any family lace box some
old. treasured bits of lace than which
there coull be found nothing more suit-
able, and the making of the gown is far
less difficult an undertaking than are
many .of the far less expensive mater-
ials. With a well cut lining for the
waist and a good pattern for the
the task is by no means impossible,
which may sound like rank heresy, but
is vastly comforting.
Velvet evening gowns will not be worn
much later this ;season, but at the mo-
ment are smart and very beautiful.
There have been more black velvet even-
ing gowns made this winter than for a
long time, and the bright and light
colors as well have been in favor. A
black velvet, trimmed with point lace,
sounds and looks always so "respectably
elegant," and yet there is a form more
diffieult to accomnlish, aceording to the
fashion standpoint. It requires to be
made by an artist to have an ftia of
style, but when the result is obtained
there is nothing handsomer. Severely
plain are the smartest black velvet
gowns, but with the white point laee
used on both weist and skirt.

eral gobblers. I was there to a Hog -

key gobblers were all in the yard. One
of the men told me to shake my red hat
at them, and you ought to have seen
how mad it made them. They have a
piece of gristle under their bills, and
they began to get purple and purpler,
and said "gobble, gobble!" louded and
louder. Then they stretched out their
long necks, lifted up their wings and
went for me. I thought my tinee had.
come. The men had to come to my as-
sistance, laughing ready to die.
One mad gobbler is enough, but when
it comes to several, it's not much fun,

SILK VOGUE.
Though it is several . seasons since
changeable silks have really bee o the
vogue; they have always been worn more
or less. But now comes a revival of the
vogue, and once more, so says Dame
Fashion, Milady is to wear shimmering
silks which radiate two or more colors.
Paris is responsible for the revival.
Whole' gowns, wraps, hat trimmings -
all these the petite Parisienne is wear-
ing of "cha,ngeables" as site calls this

the latter is especially lovely. These

Demon-posseession is e sebjeet et once
interesting and mysterious, In the New
Testament it is frequently associated
with physical disease or imperfection,
but Jesus distinguished between demon -
possession and mere disease. See Matt,
4: 24, and Luke' 13: 32. The demoniac
seemed to hare a double personality.
The dement in him spoke, and cried out
in rage as he left him, and Jesus spoke
directly to the demon and received re,
plies. There enight be more than one
evil spirit holding possession of the
person. as in the case of Mary Magdalene
and the demoniacs of this lesion. It is
pos,eible that demon -possession limy have
caused insanity, but the New Testament
makes such it clear distinction between
the two maladies that we conclude they
were not necessarily Connected. There
le no doubt that a course of sinful in-
dulgence often resulted in demon -posses -
glen, since the man's wickedness would
open the way for the damon to anter.
"God's obedient children are absolutely
,safe." It is a modern fashion to scoff
at the reality of demoniacal possession,
but the difficulties thet nttend the de-
nial of it in the recerdee eases seem to
be quite as greet as those that are in-
volved in accepting Corn. To
deny them is to charge the evangelists
with misrepresentation, "The objection
is frequently urged, How conies it that
this nialady is not now among us? But
we cannot tell in how many eases of
insanity that malady may even now
be traced to direct demoniacal poesee
sion."-Alford. Da Nevins, a missionary

that there are many eases among the
Chinese that are exactly like those de-

GERMAN SCARE.
Chancellor's Speeches of Relations
With Great Britain.
Germany's Fleet Not Intended For
Aggressive Purposes.
Berlin, March B. -Chancellor Von
Bethmann-Hollweg made it strikingly pa-
cific speeech on international relations,
during the course of a debate on the na-
val estimates in the Reichstag yesterday.
Replying to the arguments of Herr Sude-
kums, the Socialist member, that Ger-
many's great fleet was not called for by
commerce or the colonies, and that Great
Britain was justified in the belief that is
was directed against her, the Chancellor
spoke shortly, but vigorously, saying:
"Our relations with Great Britain lie
deer, told open before everybody's eyes.
It is not necessary to repeat that our
fleet is not for aggressive purposes, but
for the protection of our coasts and com-
merce. The limits of our naval pro-
gramme are known to every one with
the dates for the completion Of our
ships. Nothing is secret about the pro.
gramme, and nething is done in such it
way as to arouse suspicion or belief that
it threat is intended against anybody.
"Finally, it is our wish to cultivate
unprejudiced, straightforward and
friendly relations with Great Britain.
(Cries of 'Hear! Hear!') I do not see
why the existing friendly relations
should be disturbed between Germany
and Great Britain, with whom we are so
closely connected, both economically and
in culture. No nation on earth can di-
vert or suppress free compete'tion of
other nations. We must all proceed on
the same lines as an honest merchant,
and on this foundation I am convinced
that the relation of confidence °aesthete
between Germany and Great Britain will
develop favorably, and that public opin-
ion of both eountries will be influenced
In the same way."

to -day.
The man's throat was out and his
face slashed and bruised, while his
clothes were torn as though in
struggle, and little was left in his
pockets which could aid in his
identification.
Ho had apparently been in the
river about two months, although this
was hard to determine, as the body
had been preserved, encased in ice.
The man was well dressed, with fur
overcoat and cap, but his pockets had
been emptied of everything but a
knife and some tobacco.

BERLIN RIOTS.
Socialists in Demonstrative Stroll
Encounter Police.
Berlin, March 6. -Serious conflicts be-
tween the , police and Socialists, in in-
volving a lengthy list a wounded, were
the outcome of most impressive open-
air demonstrations against the suffrage
bill carried out in Berlin and the other
titles of Prussia to -day. It is estimated
that in Berlin alone 120,000 persons took
part in what was called a "demonstra-
tive stroll" in various parts of the city.
The chief of police of 13erlin, fearing
danger from the assembly of so many
thoueamds in the popular park of Trep-
tow, the place chosen by the Socialists,
forbade a demonstration of any kind
there. But the Socialists' newspaper,
Vorwaerts, announced that the mani-
festation would be held in spite of the
order of prohibition.
This caused the coneentration of a
powerful force of armed police and gen-
darmerie in Treptow Park, which left
the rest of the city virtually unguarded.
The Socialist leaders this morning, ob-
serving that their plan had been frus-
trated, quietly and quickly passed. the
word to their followers to .proeeed to
the other end of the city. These in-
struotiote were obeyed by 80,000 mani-
