of the history of dress.
Shades of bygone days: Fashions
depicting the time of “'ashington. of
Elinbcth. of our Samuel Pepys and
of Lincoln.
They'll all be there in the great
"Fashion Parade of Bygone Days."
which is to be an added feature to
the Spring Fashion and Style Expo-
sition.
Living models each evening will
display the creations that were dear
to the hearts of the modistes of
many years ago: a great exposition
when
colors were daringly usedv when
embroidered satins and brocaded
silks were worn: when clothes were
voluminous and stately: and. also.
the modistes assure us. rather un-
comfortable compared. to the sweet
simplicity of present days.
One might almoet‘trace the history
of the country from this style parade
of the past. There is no greater re-
flection of the mental level of a peo-
ple than the clothes that their epoch
evolves. W'ho can deny that the
purity of line and simplicity of do-
sign of the Greek period was less
reflected in the draperies of the cos-
tume of that time. than in the clas-
sic form of their architectural col-
umn of their sculpture.

THREE KIRKILLOS ONE OF THE '
MANY STAR ATTRACTIONS
AT FASHION EXPOSITION
THE 8 KIRKILLOS. two gentlemen and one lady. who have evolved
' an act in which a high pedestal and a bounding table are utilized for
the purpose of performing a series of startling novelty feats such as have
never before been witnessed. Among the startling stunts performed by
this Trio are several that are notably pretentious. for instance. one of
the men. standing on top of the pedestal. Jumps wnh a. great deal or
force into the bounding bed, which catapults him through the air. a
distance of more this 15 test, where he is caught in a hand to hand
stand on the other side of the platform. Varying these tricks. he again
mounts the pedestal and this time does a back somersault into the
bounding bed. and bouncing high in the air. is again caught into a bend
to hand stand. Another variation oi this trick is turning a back somer-
. sault from the pedestal into the bounding bed. and then turning another
complete somerssult. alighttng in a sitting position in a chair balanced
on his partner’s shoulders. Aside from 'these features which are so re-
markabie. they cannot be described in more words. The lady in the
set does a number of gymnastic feats._ doing s. row of eartwheels and
dip flaps. besides taking the men and throwing them into the air into
somersaults on each other's shoulders. Themmarkabie part of this
lifting and throwing lies in the feet that both ofthe men weigh considerably
over 110 pounds and are hercniean in stature and are perfect physical
specimens of manhood. m not stands pro-eminent among European im-
portstioas and outclasses sny'thins of a similar nature seen here in many
SHOE DISPLAY

more appeal to the “ell—dressed
man or women than the shoe. No
matter how neat an-i IrIm one'e

of line and charm at design that can
be put into a shoe until he has even

“YOU ALONE"
You alone can do your task.
No help from others need you ash
You can 'do your best.
You alone can accomplish the
quest.
You alone can gun'this quest.
Not by money or good' looks.
Simply by brains and a smile or
two.
You alone can amid: others.
You can help some unfortunate
mothers. ,
You can make a cheery life. 5
No matter heggrest your strife.
So no one should miss this great
feature of the shew. Correct in
every detail. it will display what has
never been attempted before in this
city-the history of dress. One can
see the people of the world and
their traits. as the costumes of the
centuries pass.
“‘atch them as they pass: The
beaded head-dress. the confining
stomacher. the voluminous skirt.
Surely this is the Elisabethian peri-
od. when the word American was a
fabulous name: when England's
ships carried sword and fire over the
Spanish Main: when Shakespeare
was busy on his latest plays. and Sir
Francis Drake was swearing to singe
the heard of Phillip of Spain.
Each period has its beauty spots
and. for grandeur. the history of
dress has never equalled the beauti-
ful lace collars and regal neck ruffs
of Elizabeth.
’ But time moves on. Stomachers

Small wonder then that Gainsbor-

As the models pan. history march-
es on. and we come to another pe-
riod. once again beautiful. the Colo
onial period. Even as the Coionhl
architecture of early America turn-
ed back to the simplicity of the
Greek. so our earliest Colonial fash-
ions went to simplicity once more.
The later Colonial. however. was not
untinged with French decadent time.
but still the soft billowing of the Col-
onial skirt and the bold use oi: tiny
bits of color are not without their
charm.
And then the French period: what
better evidence of the political life
0f the country could we have then
the mental r-‘fit‘i‘tion through the
fashions. Even as their past deveio
oped. so the dresses of the time
brought their fashioned heavy silks.
