THE 3IORXIXG OREGONTAN'. FRIDaT. SEPTEMBER 20, 1913. TT! 1M tor 7 n m By A group of high KJi -i every one il of them ra- diantly pret ty flut tered thro the Washington-street entrance yester day morning. Bright-eyed and a bit breathless, their enthusiastic comments were quite the most refreshing thing that has fallen upon our ears for many a day. And. by the way, we real- ized at once that we had to do with a discrimination as wen ' grounded and as cultured as that of their less exuberant mothers, for the modem Ameri can girl, fully realizes the pos sibilities of the styles that belong pecu liarly to her, and while she gazes with rapt admiration at the splendidly shin ing garments designed for her grown-up sister, she fairly bubbles with glee over the dainty affairs that are made espe cially for her. On the fourth floor there is a shop arranged to meet the needs and ap proval of girls little girls and big girls all the way up to young womanhood. It might be called the shop of braids and "hair ribbons," for here every miss and maid may find exquisite garments from Paris, London, Vienna and New York, carefully chosen, especially for her. A number of bewitchingly sim ple party gowns for girls of the high school age were being shown. My flock of butterflies stopped to hover delightfully about the deli cately tinted little frocks that would "just fit" and that exhib ited all the newest modish touches. A lovely lingerie dress with inserts of real Irish crochet and touches of Jiand rmbroidery had a pink satin girdle which fastened at the left side with a lovely fluffy pink rose. The exquisite girlishness of it was its most salient fea ture. It was the kind of frock which every mother feels is appropriately sim ple, and yet there was enough of the delicate hand trimming to make the little damsel rest assured that her gown was not "plain." TN 1 1 . uia you Know inai jpractically all fans are im ported! They are. It S seems strange that Ameri- Vcan enterprise has not seized upon the making of these poetic accessories, so that we should have millions of them, all alike, turned out every day by some rapacious, whirring set of machinery, and stamped with one design by the bounding, banging printing press.. But European conservatism, not to mention the cheapness of European la bor, have saved the fan for us with all its individuality and romance. Down on the first floor I found fans galore each one different, yet stamped with certain National characteristics. Viennese fans, gayly spangled with gleaming mother-of-pearl sticks and edged with Duchesse, rivaled the French fans with their wealth of gold filigree and their daintily painted decor ations, representing panniered ladies and bewigged gentlemen in sprightly atti tudes exchanging coy glances, and, doubtless, brilliant repartee. From Spain par excellence the country of fans and lace mantillas, of lovers' sighs and thrilling romance, there was an ivory handled, brilliantly col ored fan, with a decoration of painted gold lace on a peacock-blue ground, and with the figure of a beautiful Cas tilian dancer in the center. Anything more richly decorative could hardly be imagined. Over at the leather goods counter there was a fascinating hand bag from Germany in awhade which is called "Madonna blue." It is deeper in tone than the familiar "Robin's egg," but has the same peculiar greenish inclina tion. The noteworthy feature of this bag was a tiny watch which was fas tened within, but which showed its little round face cheerfully through an open ing in the side. Of course, there were the usual fittings, all to match and beau tifully finished. Another distinctly new bag was as flatly compressed as an envelope, but with hinges in its silver top, so that when it was unclasped it presented an octagonal opening to your astonished gaze. "Dear, dear," murmured a very jweet old lady at my side; "what will they do next?" She shook her head reminiscently. What will they do, indeed?

Special pd TtO "Cantonese Broche Mandarin" , This Imported Crepe Is Named- You have often read of this magnificent Oriental crepe, used for centuries by the opulent Mandarins of the Orient and by the Samurai of Japan. Occasionally one of these rare Mandarin Coats is seen on exhibition and sale in a curio shop, but until now never sold by the yard in a retail store. Paris gave us the first hint of the popularity of these Oriental silks, which lend themselves admirably , to the soft, clinging draperies and pannier now in such high' favor. Our Paris office, without even waiting to hear from us, imported from China direct to us these beautiful Cantonese crepes. They are now here and on sale. - ' ' The colorings are recognized at once as Oriental; porcelain blue, robin's egg, turquoise, taupe, sea green.
