Scores of the "knights of the road" are passing through WH- Biette on their way to Chicago, where they hope to catch a slow freight which will carry them to a warmer clime. For some reason many of them are giving the city a wide berth, but a few have stopped off here in an attempt to get a "hand-out'* either of food or of money. Yesterday an employe of the North- Western road on the Mayfair division routed ten tramps out of a box car. He stated they were getting ready to start a fire on the floor of the car. The police department does not in- tend to show leniency to the tramps. Any caught begging here will be ar- rested and charged with vagrancy. Those found wandering the streets will be given a few minutes to get out of town. If they refuse they will be arrested. The Effect of the War on American Fashions (Continued from Page 1.) partment of public school music at Northwestern, president of the secondary school department of the N. E. A., and a composer as well as instructor, is too well known along the north shore to need any introduc- tion. Under fiis direction each stu- dent will have two periods of music a week in a class suited to his needs, and will receive credits for his work if well done. This additional instruc- tion will mean much to the students of the school. Miss Rose L. Ruegnitz of the North- western School of Music will assist Mr. McConafiiy. Miss Ruegnitz is a student of Mr. Heihze of Chicago, and of Northwestern School of Music. She taught both instrumental and vocal music in the Elgin Plahc^ school be- fore coming to Evanston. Here she has had much success in private and class work. She is a composer as well as instructor. Miss Packer** Trip.

The popularity of crinoline hangs in the balance. The war is stifling Pari- sian news and* it will'probably be op to American dressmakers, whether they follow the lines set by Poiret, Doucet, and many other French houses before the war depleted their ranks, or | ^°™_j;OTe' a whether it will be a period.of Amer- ican creations designed for American women. It is an ill wind truly that blows no one some good, and this ter- rible conflict abroad may mean the up- rising of dominating Amercan styles! The arrival of wider and fuller skirts cannot be denied, and many of them are held out by a heavy cord in the hem. Then there is the long, full tunic, often made of lace with a tighter underskirt below. Around the edge of the tunic are wreaths of arti- ficial roses. The waist is of lace or tulle and the line of the low neck is outlined by these same roses. The 1870 style of bodice which is so stylish how is almost always seen sleeveless. It has a long waistline and a strap over the shoulder. This waist conforms more to the figure than the waists of a few months ago and has a lining of chiffon or very light weight silk. A striking gown of this type, which I have Just seen, was made of very dark blue soft silk. The straps which went over the shoulders were not applied but were one with the dress and so wide that they drooped well over the shdulder. About the round cut decollete neck was an inch-wide beaded band of jet. The sleeveless armholc had a band of beaded inser- tion, composed of a series of long bugles placed crosswise, with a small bead oh either end at the edge. A six-inch beaded girdle encircled the waist, drooping well over the hips. The skirt had a long and plain tunic, slightly fulled at the Waist. Just be- low this was noticeable a tight-fitting underskirt. The modern crinoline dress is indeed paradoxical when one thinks that al- though skirts seem fuller there is al- ways a tight skirt underneath. Th fact, in one of the late French maga- zines was shown a wonderful gown of sheerest pale pink organdy, and showing through was the figure swathed from waist to ankle. The materials for fall suits include broadcloth, gabardine, serge, prunella cloth and a new heavy cashmere. These materials are also used for dresses, as shown in my first Illustra- tion, which is made of plain dark blue serge and novelty blue serge with a fine stripe of white upon it. The two materials arc combined charmingly. Sleeves and double circular bands are of the plain serge while the lower part The next illustration is of a model In brown grosgrain taffeta, which is both new and smart. The waist Is made with an over waist which has a rippling cape in the back. This* Is worn over a plain waist which buttons down the front.

Its south- ern boundary was what is now known as Central street, Evanston; its north- ern boundary was North avenue, Wil- mette (now EHmwood. avenue), and its western boundary near what we now call Fifteenth street. By the terms of the treaty, this reservation could not be sold with- out the consent of the President of the United States, and in 1844, a peti- tion to the government, signed by the children of Ouilmet#e (the mother striped taffeta, while a wide sash of striped taffeta ties with a large bow just below the cape in the back.

A large flat sailor shape, called by the result of this petition, a special In- dian agent was appointed who sold the land to real estate speculators during the years 1844-45. After a number of transfers, the land became the property of Mr. Alexander Mc- Daniel of Wilmette and Mr. Henry Dingee of New York City. Mr. Dingee trottght ^270" acres through his agent (Mr. John Westerfleld), for which he paid |4,000 in gold. "Hr. Mc Daniel pur- chased 120 acres at -$1.26 per acre and built a home on the lake front near the Intersection of Hill street and Sheridan road. As early as the year 1832 (the year of the Black Hawk war), the coming in of the troops and the necessary supplies sent by the government es- tablished a route which was followed later by settlers attracted hitherto by the reports carried back by the army men* of the many advantages in soil and climate of northern Illi- nois and Wisconsin. A constantly in- creasing stream of settlers began to arrive and in 1835, Chicago's popula- tion was 1,500. Mr. Arunah Hill and his family wore among the earliest settlers in this re- At about this period of the history of the north shore, the road north from Chicago, Instead of being lined with villages as It now is, was marked by taverns at Intervals of from two to Ave miles. Some of these were named as follows: Ten mile "House now called Calvary station. Gross Point, Ridgevllle--now called Evanston. Oullmette Reservation--nowt called Wilmette. . Wytfetha--now called Winnetka. Port Clinton--now called Highland Park. Previous to 1846, the residents of the Gross Point district were obliged to get their mail from Chicago, but in December, 1846, a postofflce was es- tablished at Gross Point. The post- office was kept at the home of the postmaster and Its location was changed at each change of tho In- cumbent. Most of these houses were strung' along what Is now called Ridge avenue.

To be absolutely cor- rect in Paris the hair should be drawn away from the forehead, leav- ing it perfectly bare. Another way becoming to the woman with a high forehead is to have the hair parted on one side, not waved at all, but drawn back from the face with a light, straight fringed bang falling over the forehead. The hair must show a high sheen fn these new modes of wearing the hair, which only comes from constant good care and much brushing. This style is called "au naturel." Erie.
