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. Tuesday we make special show
ing of several models, built from velour
and French felts, prettily trimmed with
wings and roses. These are mostly in
the attractive light colorings; also chic
white sailors with broad brims, trimmed
in dainty chiffon and wings. A wide
price range $1.76 to $10.00.

Initial Exhibit of the Modes
ilks to the Fore:
i
Annex Fifth Street First Floor
In truth we have surpassed all previous standards
in the extent and variety of beautiful silks for
Autumnal and Winter wearing. And silks are
standing out boldly like a cameo in Fashion's setting. Per
haps 'tis because of their revival that they come almost in the
guise of novelties. That there, is to be a decided vogue for silk
during the coming season is established without peradventure.
Women of refined taste have always been fond of silks ; 'tis the
most feminine of all fabrics. "She walks in silk" has long
been a synonym for elegance in dress. Not only do silks express
art in dressing, but luxury as well. The fashionable woman this
season will find every opportunity to gratify her taste for silks
.from our surpassing stocks of the new ultra-fashionable weaves.
'T would be futile, indeed, to attempt to cover a description in
limited space, so content ourselves with urging your attendanco
here at the "Silk Store" on Tuesday at the "Initial Show

New Plaid Silks, In imported and domestic makes they're

In the Knitwear Shops 1st Floor

Knit Underwear are not close kin but ask
.Madam Dressmaker! She'll tell vou quickly that

dation .for perfect fitting of the modish gown. Women are rap
idly learning this truth. Underwear that fits is important to
both the well-drest man and woman. We invite both to examine
the lines which constitute our underwear stocks in the men's

To the woman who would be absolutely graceful we would say you must be unconscious of your
clothes. 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

THE THREATENED TRAGEDY-ROMANCE
. AMONG THE LYRIC PLAYERS
L. 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. .

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.

Sultan Shows Brotherly Love.
PARIS, Sept. 1. A dispatch to the
Temps from Tangier, Morocco, yester

his elder brother, who had been Im
prisoned since the death of their fath

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.
