Dame Fashion would not be the artist that she is were she not Influenced, more or less, by every passing fancy. The influence of the Russian Ballet has been direct and noticeable. We may glimpse the Bakst . note in the brightly colored jewelry, real and artificial, now bo much in vogue; in the quaint, hand made trimmings, quillings, pleatings, cordings and puffings which serve to trim so many of our summer frocks of silk and cotton. The matinee, for the Russian danc ers given in the opera-house in Paris, early in the year was the, first real important social event in France since the beginning of the war. The large house was crowded to it's doors with audience. When this same, company. mccai.u i 7 Y-XS, t .

Fir Trimmed Costumes Still In Evi 1 y dence , Although our shops are overflowing with airy summery looking fabrics hats, and dresses, bur Avenue presents with the exception of a straw hat now and then, quite aa wintry an appear ance as it has for the last few weeks. . The velvet suit combined with faille ' or broadcloth, is a general favorite, and fur is still its trimming. The no tion of combining cloth and ailk or velvet is a practical and effective one; often, as in our illustrations, the low-. er section of the skirt is of broadcloth. This offers ah unusually good idea for remodeling a Bkirt that has become slightly worn or frayed about the low er edge. A velvet dress or suit is quite apt to show a bit of wear near the end of ithe sou son, and such an addition will freshen it and make it serve the season out. ' v . . The. second suit illustrated is fash ioned of dark blue gabardine. It is a simple, youthful model which could be made at home. The high collar with turned back trovers, which may also be closed If preffered, is a new touch which is becoming and smart. . One of the most effective suits seen on the Avenue for some time was of dark blue velvet, with a knee-deep flounce, and chin collar, and muff cuffs . of moleskin. A broadcloth or faille costume with flounce, cuffs and collar of velvet would also be effective and much less expensive. Spain Case Is on Trial.

Night af ter night the house was crowded with gorgeously gowned women and men in evening dress. Our graceful little dan cer, Florence Walton, was seen onte or twice in the lobby, gowned in ono of Lucile's fanciful evening frocks, causing, as onev. woman remarked, "everyone else to look tame." Ruth St. Dennis was een on another evening tall and distinguished looking, watch ing with professional interest every graceful movement of little Lopokova and her co-dancers. ' .While some of the fantasies were rother weird to our Western eyes, nil were poetical, the very embodiment of romance, facinating and inspiring. La Sylphides and Papillons come nearer to the imodern costume than the others; the costumes of the first are simple to a degree, of pure white tulle acainst a background of moonlit gar den, so real that one can fairly hear the whispering of the trees as their branches intermingle, and the rippl ing of the water back of the small marble temple. The skirts are full and billowv. and the bodices tight and baisoue-like. The costumes of Papillon are of the early Victorian (period: and they are directly responsible for the present vogue oi nana maue trimm ings. Quiled And Pleated Trimmings ' For taffeta and the printed silks are now so high in Fashion's favor, for the crisp organdies and a daintily figured voiles and crepes, there k' no more practical or effective trimming than cording, smocking or smrnng. Many of our dance frocks for sum- mer will be of organdy or net; an unusually pretty imported frock of net shown recently in one of our exclusive shops was made with an extremely full skirt, gathered at the waist, equa ly wide top and bottom ; the skirt was hemmed over a crinoline hip stiffen ing, and ihe entire dress was trimmed effectively with quaint, pleated ruf fles. Another effective summer even ing gown displayed at the same time was of white Georgette crepe beaded with opaque beads. The bodice was cut in bolero effect, and the skirt was a charming contrast to the full skirt of the net dress, being pleated to fall Baker; 3re., Fcfb. 25 Jn circuit court this morning will begin the trial of the damage action of John Spain against the O-W.

HARRY CAREY III "k KHIGHT OF THE RANGE" Rough riding is a form of amuse ment found only on the Western plains. Easterners have to depend on Wild West shows for their exhibits of the reckless daring of cowboys, mounted upon bucking bronchos. That is, they had to depend upon these shows until moving pictures were in vented. Now the whble world may thrill with admiration for the daring feats of horsemanship of these sons of the ' plains, with , their fine ideal of manhood squareness toward man and chivalry toward women. The picturesque, robust life of the West has never been depicted with greater trath than in this Red Feather feature "A Knight of the Range." In the first place it was written by a man who knows his subject from personal experience, and who then plays the chief character himself. Harry Carey does not have to pretend to be a cow boy, because he is one. Known as the most daring leading man in pictures, he is never so perfectly cast as in a Western role, and the part of "Chey enne Harry" fits him like the pro verbial glove. The story ia & thrilling one and will be at tho Arcade Sunday.
