Stitzel of Philadelphia. ws PI 1 able to the exotic atmosphere of the court ot an Oriental potentate. the Harris iasmon revue or evening modes opened yesterday afternoon in the Astor theatre, the models dis playing their finery to a crowded house. As each model appeared she seemed to eclipse the dazzling brilliance of her predecessor with the sheer beauty of the gowns she wore.

The revue, was, in fact, a forecast of what will be worn during the winter season in Paris, London and New York. Fur cloaks and wraps, gorgeous evening gowns, tiny but intriguing shoes from I. Miller, and a number of accessories were displayed by the mannequins who crossed the stage to bring out the effectiveness of the treasures they wore. One of the features of the fashion revue was a vocal duet by Miss Jeanne Ray and Bert A. G.

Purvis, of Philadelphia, who is managing the show. AU Beautiful All the gowns and wraps displayed were beautiful but two stood out as preeminently worthy of mention. One was a mortal bv Claire in tie new manner that Paris indorses. li was of black taffeta with Persian embroidery "a thing of beauty and a joy forever." It had the snug fitting long line basque which is so favored this season, many rows of ruffles that gave the impression oi a cascade and a full skirt sweeping the floor. The smart new neck line was also featured in this gown.

A close second to this masterpiece of the Parisian atelier was an original model from the Parisian studio of Collett Lucien an ensemble of crystal sequins with round neck line, front and back. The sleeve is the new full sleeve with many strands of crystal forming the unusual coat. MARRIAGE LICENSES Howard F. Ernst. 23.
