is a bolero. and is worn over a blouse Of
thin material. Lingerie waists of light

street gown, with a short skirt and three
quarters length coat. Is best worn with a silk
~shirtwaist of the same color. or a good. con-

may have a blouse of gun-metal silk, plain
or fancy weave. or 1t may be worn with a
dark blue silk blouse. A novelty brown or
gray suiting, with little touches of red i'm

wear a blouse Of the same general tone Of

be desired. The attendance, while not as
large as anticipated, was good, and the
work of the federation was carried out as
planned.

tors. Mrs. j. l.. Harmon, Elkhart, and Mrs.

Mrs. Hops and Miss Percia Luce, of this
city. The Wilcox china collection. of In

ager. The new owners will soon take up
the question of extending the line to
Greensburg and it is practically certain
that a line will be built to Greensburg
either from Shelbyville or Rushville, and
may ultimately be built to Madison.
The plan to build a double track line
from Indianapolis by way OF Rushville to
Cincinnati will still be carried out and the
new purchase will in no way affect this.

Sound Advice.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis journal:
Would IL not be wise for all parties con.
cerned. both anti-Bookwalter and regular
party Republicans, TO call the incident OF
our local differences closed. and would II not
be also wise for our out-of-town friends.
namely, the Hon. G. b. Lands, OF Delphi.
and w. T. Hicks, of Bloomington. 20 think
twice before they speak2 Good Republicans
who are liable TO differ sometimes In local
affairs are generally found In line in more
important affairs. but at the same time
most men are sensitive and will resent crit
icism when IL comes from parties who are
not personally interested, and / would sug-
gest that all Republicans who have their
party's interests at heart keep their
thoughts 10 themselves. No Republican who
voted against Mr.. last Tuesday
had any thought other than what he consid-
cred beneficial 10 his party. Now. IL every
body will just keep his mouth closed We will:
come out all right and win many a battle
in the future. j. III. HAMLET.
