Paris-Models American Prices The lines of the exceeding ly beautiful Autumn millin ery contain most pleasing ideas, tho' no startling departures are embodied in the new styles. There are two very distinct types, however the very large and the very small hats. In the great number of models shown in the store's splendid mil linery store it's safe to assume that the most exacting woman will find something suited to her particular requirements, and also of a nature that will harmonize perfectly with the costume she adopts. This season no woman need wear an un becoming hat, merely because 'tis fash ionable for variety of correct models is infinite.

An ill-fitting or badly-made Shoe is the greatest drawback to ease of deportment and demeanor. , "Gloria" Shoes Fit Perfectly There's one quality in a shoe that's hard to describe, for one can't define or locate it. It's not beauty, or cut, or fit, or wear; it's STYLE! Some shoes have it. Many shoes haven't it. All women want it. It has no relation to cost. A $10.00 custom-made shoe often can't supply it. But the "Gloria" Shoes at $3,50 Have Style No matter how ugly a woman's feet may be, they can be made to look smart and stylish in a pair of "Glorias."- Every woman can't be beauti ful, but every woman may have pretty, shapely feet if they'll wear "Gloria" Shoes.

C- Keating Has His Joke About ihe New Keating Baby LC. K HATING, of the theatrical firm of Keating & Flood, a few days ago became once more a papa. The bouncing boy was named Jack by Lawrence Keating, Jr., who has been visiting relatives in Seattle for some weeks, and who wrote, the Stork not long ago to send their house a baby. Dr. Harry McKay, who got Lawrence's letter, answered In a long, typewritten sheet that Lawrence's request would re ceive favorable attention, and last week, after the Stork had partd the desired visit to the Keating household in this city, Mr. Keating, Sr., wired his son that the little brother had reached Portland all right. Lawrence, who is 7 years old, printed a letter to his baby brother, say. Ing, "Dear Jack, I am glad you arrived safely." Lawrence is expected home soon, but the folks think he will advise sending back the baby, as It will not be big enough to play with, and that Is what Lawrence wants a rollicking playmate. All this leads properly to the conster nation that reigned In the ranks of the Lyric Company yesterday. Mr. Keating, Sr., may be pardoned for being a trifle jubilant over the big, healthy boy added to his household, but it must be recorded that his facetiousneas yesterday took a rather eccentric course. As Frank Fan ning sauntered Into the office, Mr. Keat ing told him that he was "sorry, but this Is your two weeks' notice, as I have a new leading man." Fannlng's lip quivered. The blow was rather sudden. "Well, It's up to you," replied Fanning. The group smiled, and at length the lead ing man of the Lyric tumbled, and It was his turn to treat. Soon after comes In Conners, the come dian. ' He was greeted by Keating In the same way. "I expected It." shouted Conners. "When did you get the man to fill my place?" "Last night at 10:30," declared Mr. Keating. It took five full minutes for Conners to comprehend, and then he congratulated Mr. Keating. To carry the Joke further and even up scores for the actors whose feelings had been ruffled by the prospect of discharge, they all agreed to put up a job on Ash ton, the heavy man and stage manager. His associates were to quietly tip him off that he was to get his notice, and Mr. Keating was to go back on the stage and give the notice at the appointed time. When he did so and told Ashton he had filled his place, Ashton, the man with the herculean voice, rushed forward and said, "I congratulate you, and I am going to telephone to the Missus congratula tions also." The . boys told Keating afterward that Ashton took the news about his possible removal so seriously that they simply were compelled to tell him the truth. They were afraid that he could not do his work, and that there would be no show that night. . A father- will cut up pranks when the child and everybody are doing well. Any one who knows the unusual cordiality and excellent esprit de corps that char acterize the whole outfit at the Lyric will appreciate the throes and the Intense in. terest everybody took In this episode In the lives of player folk. Sultan Shows Brotherly Love. PARIS, Sept. 1. A dispatch to the Temps from Tangier, Morocco, yester day, says that the Sultan has released his elder brother, who had been Im prisoned since the death of their fath er. The correspondent adds that re ports to the effect that it is the Sul tan's Intention to transfer the court from Fe to the City of Morocco contin ues to circulate, but that no confirma tion, is obtainable. SUNBURNED ARMS MAY DO IN SUMMER, BUT IN WINTER NEVER Long Sleeves Will Help Some, as Will Creams and Lotions The girl from the East looked regret fully at her sunburned arms. "They won't do," she said. "They're perfect frights! I'll never get them back to their snowy whiteness." "Don't try," laconically said the girl from the West. "What's the use? Men like sunburned arms; the browner the better, they think. At least they do In God's own country1, where I came from." "Oh, that's very well for the good old Summertime. Mahogany-colored arms may look well In white linen shirtwaists handling the tennis racquet of the golf clubs, but they don't look so fetching in chiffons and crepe de chines at a formal dinner party. The rose pink candle shades only deepen their brown and make you feel more like an Indian than ever. "And then there's my neck with that horrid ring showing where my collar kept the sun from burning a regular Mason and Dixon line between the white and the black! Oh. I wish I hadn't been so strenuously athletic this Summer!" "Cucumber cream, lemon juice, per oxide, lettuce lotion" began the girl from the West. "All right, doubtless, if you've months to spend in patient rubbing; but I haven't. The one particular man I'm Interested in abhors these savage charms, and thinks the ideal woman ought to be of fragile feminine charm, you know. I'm to meet him at dinners several times in the near future. I don't mind saying that I wasn't far from his Ideal the last time we met. and that he quite distinctly 'sat up and took notice,' but now" The girl from the West broke off with a sigh that was almost a groan. "Why, what do you suppose? my brother told me my arms reminded him of when I happened to lean my elbows on the dinner table last night 'Long rolls of smoked bologna' was what he said, and he's about right." "Well, since you've no time to get the tan off, you've evidently got either to emulate the "Venus de Mllo and cut your arms off above the elbows, or else you must cover them up. The latter course will be less painful as well as less ex pensive. Therefore, wear long sleeves." "Easy enough to say, but there Isn't one frock in my whole wardroDe with anything but short sleeves, nor In yours either." she added, a bit spitefully. "There's where you're wrong.'-' was the triumphant reply. "You forget I've just come back from Paris and I'm well provided for the coming season. Wo are going to wear long sleeves this Fall. The anatomical displays that have been un blushlngly thrust In the face of the pub lic this Summer in the way of fat, pudgy arms, or knobby, red elbows, have worked the Inevitable reaction against the omni present short sleeve. Of course, we might have known it would be so when we all had every sleeve we owned cut off to el bow length last Spring." "Then get busy and make yourself un-der-sleeves," was the answer. "Make them of whatever thin stuff goes best with the gown; embroidered chif fons, delicate nets, or filmy d'Alencon laces made Into long, loose lower sleeves that wrinkle like a mousquetalre glove are really fascinating. They let the con tour of the arm show through, but they disguise the tan or sunburn, especially If the arm Is well powdered before hand." ' "And my neck swathe that In lace, too?" asked the girl from the East. "I don't like to wear high-necked din ner gowns; my shoulders are much too good to cover up." "No, wear a dog-collar of imitation pearls or of Jet; the jet ones are new est. And massage without ceasing! Creams and lotions will obliterate that ring" in time. For a "change make yourself a collar of beads; a girl I know had some of them and they cost almost nothing. Get one of those little looms for bead-weaving at any depart ment store, weave your collar of any height you want and in almost any design. An awfully pretty one is of daisies made of white beads set in a band of gilt beads. It looks like white enamel on a gold band. And of course there's always the band of black vel vet, with a pearl pin or clasp. It is more sentimentally feminine than the collars. But some men think the black velvet band a silly affectation; you'd better find out what this particular one thinks of It, since you're so dead in earnest in this campaign." said the girl from the West, in a parting shot.
