He walked carefully from one end of the gold room to the other, then lie turned around and walked back again. Hav ing done this he raised his arms over his head and bowed. Whereupon he broke into a short, snappy trot and circled the chamber, ending with a few revolutions of the body, and disappeared. He was a model. On his shannlv figure was draDed a. e.ntlpmnn'H clothes; around the walls of the room were stationed the members of the National Association of Clothinar De signers. They are having a convention at the Congress Hotel. Today the convention featured fi-e genuine. expert gentleman models. Each was a master of the craft; each, as he walked with the latest style encasing his Adonis limbs, his' Apol- iinaris torso, was the envy of the spec tators, gentlemen all. who sat or slouched about the chamber. It was the duty of each model to emerge 10 times from the dressing-room, thus gladdening the eye with 10 different tyles. Fifty styles In all were ex hibited. There were no kilts. The styles chiefly ran to conservative cuts. Cr. M. Gray, chairman of the display committee, explained that the styles rex-ealed were those which would be fashionable in 1918. Thus the pro ceedings were a lifting of the veil of the future. Mr. Gray pointed out further that he absence of cuffs on trousers end leeves. the absence of doo-funnies. doo-hickies and doo-dads on coat and rousers in no way impaired the beauty of the male figure. These - things, the esigners sought to reveal, all neces- ity being their Inspiration, are artifi- lal. anyway. Pleats, tucks, ruffles. patch pockets, belts, folds, and even apela were absent from most of the 91S styles. HEN'S DOOR LOCKED DIB ZlKl'XFTS PEACE TALK DIS- rLKASES GOVERNMENT.
