Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 223, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 September 1913 — Rensselaer Lady Gown Model in Terre Haute. [ARTICLE]

Rensselaer Lady Gown Model in Terre Haute.

The Terre Haute Tribune publishes an artistic illustration in connection with a writeup of the fall exhibit of fine gowns by the Siegel store of that city, and one of the pictures is of Mrs. Charles Harmon, formerly of this city, and daughter of AU - , and Mrs. W. R. Brown. The gowns exhibited have values ranging from SSO to SSOO and are the latest creations of Parisian modistes. There were three other models and they paraded on a platform 35 feet long. Around the platform were stretched two gilt chains, fastened to posts entwined with autumn leaves. The ladies of the city were there in vast numbers and the models appeared in various gowns, street and business costumes and elaborate afternoon and evening gowns, with slit skirts and diaphanous styles for the vanity of “mere” women.
