Dress-ers, i American Beauty roses lend their fragrance to tbe fairyland portrayed in -wonderful detail at the store of the Adam, Meldrum and Anderson Company In this, the week of their annual fall opening. Perhaps the very first department the average woman turns to Is that devoted to a ravishing display millinery. There are hats of all sorts here, hats created to meet the needs of all weathers. It Is the general supposition that fickle fancy has turned to the smaller hat for every day wear although the larger hats will continue to be worn for real dressy occasions. For the club luncheons and bridge parties the medium else hat la the Tage, and the shapes vary from the small turban effects to the neat oval forms, the trimming on either being low and and simple.

None of the bats on display at this store are overcrowded. The elegant and more severe, lines being strictly followed In the afternoon shopping "hats, 1 while on the evening shapes the long curling plumes continue to hold sway with perhaps a huge rose or two In the becoming American beauty tones. The new shades this season are the uchla tints and: taupe, and right be coming they are to the woman who effects dark garments for street wear or the always well liked white or creams. i-fi' f-fi, One hat that attracted considerable attention was of moire taupe velvet with a dash of silver braid trimming at one side, another, was draped Mackr -velvet folds of soft pink net under- the-dge and a couple of large, pink rosee on the brim. Many of the hats are trimmed under the brim with drooping ostrich plumes that match those used on the upper brim or with soft large roses.

Other charming conceits were of Barbeau. the shade midway between a French blue and a King blue and somewhat similar to the Canard hue so popular several seasons back. Particularly captivating this year are the fur consisting of a long wide scarf and large pillow muff. These are especially becoming In seal or moleskin, A-handsome set seal, shewn'-'' was lined 'With gold satin, the hat being -made on the small oval shape with close turned, up brim, at one side of which a paradise fancy dropped bewltchlngly. Most of the trimming Is off the right side of the hat the left side having little or nothing to Jar.

its note soft simplicity. in tne cloak and suit department many welcome ideas are for It is true that the plain narrow skirts have about finished their reign -and even though the lines are very little wider at the bottom let as be thankful for even 'the few Inches Dame Fashion is pleased to concede ua The suit skirts boast an occasional pleat at the side seams near the bottom and many of them are draped, also near the. bottom, to a panel front -The Jackets are also draped a good deal, except of course, in the strictly tailored designs. The buttons and silk frogs are of. generous proportions and the collars and cuff deep and frequently finished wun Draia trimming or a border of contrasting material that makes' them most effective.

r- Contrasts are the latest thins-. At last we are compelled to have them at least one of our Autumn toil ettes. Fans has been! strusrtrlinsr for some time to get these pleasing- ideas' universally adopted, but not having conservative Buffalo on fcer list could not say she has been successful. Now, however, we have oar yes opened to the stunning possibilities of the fad we will welcome warmly. A graceful model illustrating this style was shown Jn two shades of brown, the jacket of a dark chestnut brown velvet with silk braided trimmings of tan- and tan broadcloth on the cuff and collar edge.

The skirt was ot tan broadcloth, made with draoed sides and panel front. Another was of Boucie cloth, mixed blue, green, yellow and black with blue the predominating color. It was plentifully adorned with buttons, had a Robes-piere collar and was' fastened with handsome frogs, a few pleats near the edge, of the skirt adding character and that inevitable new touch that distinguishes- the modern garment from her passe sisters. The big coats are bigger and warmer and of rougher cloth than ever and the buttons are enormous. The evening gown, are' things of beauty and Joy forever.

The most shimmering of light materials being used with drapes; in contrastingvcolor and beaded and crystaled tunics and trimmings. One beauty. was of amber -satin, with a panel of Venetian lace over one shoulder, and a girdle of brown finer, frailer lace decorating the other side of the bodice, the neck of which was. decolette, and the sleeves very short The theater an party coats are elaborate with their wide cuffs' end collars of white fox or chlnchllll, pale satin' linings and-exteriors of the most velvet brocades. One of these was Of pale stem green with white fur, the sleeves inset and very long.

Long sleeves are a keynote to the season's changes," for they appear In everything except the full dress gowns. Long and slim lines like those of the low draped skirts and the. panel trains -that are so fascinating make the short girl tall and make slimmer her stout sister. One other stylo, that is becoming to the thin person Is the accord! an pleated skirt -of chiffon or broadcloth, over is often draped a short overskirt of satin cut or shaned artistically.

COBB WINS i SONG PRIZE Writes Music for Carl Bailiett's City Sorlg and Gets Ad Club's The Buff ah), Ad Club's contest for a city song -has been decided. After several delays, made necessary by the aosence from the city of different members of the committee of Judges during the vacation season" this contest, announced in the public press in July, has been decided- The winner Is George I. Cobb, 'a well known young Buffalo composer, residing at No. 497 Massachusetts Avenue.

Th which was, no, small was. accomplished by the -committee on Wednesday, September 4th. The committee, consisting of Dr. M. D.

Mann, Dr. Roswell Park. Prof. A. Webster of St Paul's and others well known in musical circle tev Buffalo met at Dr.VMann-'s It was found that were no less- than 66 complete compositions; submitted which complied with the conditions of the These -conditions called for a musical composition" to accompany words written by Preai- dent Carl JBalliett of the Ad.

Club to become an official song for -the. city of Buffalo. The composers'' names were, under conditions of the contest, to be placed In sealed envelopes and enclosed with the unsigned compositions. Several of the competitors, failed to com ply. with Oils provision through signing their name to" the composition submitted.

The envelopes with composers' names were retained-by the secretary-of the Ad Club and the work of the Judges was completed without any knowledge whatsoever of the individual to whom 5 the prize might be awarded. Each composition wM played through by Prof. Webster and submitted to the requirements i proposed by the committee, itself, under which; it.iw.as thought that while a' hymnr'tune was not still music fit to become a -rBuffalo City Song" should be at least sufficiently;) dignified- In this way the contest rapidly. narrowed down to five elections and after much discussion this number was again reduced to two, and, finally, the committee unanimously agreed that the composition submitted Mr. Cobb was best However, the committee was of the opinion that the other four1 which occupied prominent places should not -be discarded without mention.

These were composed by Mr. H. 3. Peters, Miss Paola K. Peters, Dr.

C. Winnipg, director of the Buffalo Saengerbund, and Miss Mary M. Howard. The 60 award has been made to Mr. Cobb and the song as composed by- him- is now being: published by the Buffalo Ad Club.

Many plans are on 'foot to promote the adoption of this composition as the official song for the city of Buffalo and more will be announced along these lines as soon as the song 'is received from the publisher.
