braid to match in color the material Of
the dress would be pretty.
For the busy mother whose time Is too
valuable to spend in working fancy stitches
the dress can be finished in a much more
simple fashion and still be pretty and ef-
fective. Finish the yoke and sleeves with q
bias band of silk or velvet stitched fiat or
with three-Quarter OF an inch silk ruffie
cut on the straight. Another pretty way
to finish 1t would be with. braid, either
one row if wide Is used or three IL narrow.
Still another pretty finish would be to use
soutache braid woven with q cord, ore
edge Of which can be drawn, which per-
mits 1t to be laid on in many pretty de-
signs. Machine stitching alone can finish
the dress and II chain stitch Is used let
the chain come on the right side. Silk
floss with the lock stitch Is effective.
The guimpe can be either Of cotton or
silk, II the latter 1t should be Of the same
material, but several shades lighter. II of
cotton, Indian linen, lawn or batiste would
be pretty OF the many pretty ways to
make the guimpes. one with tucks spaced
and in groups Is simple. A shirred guimpe
for slender girl would be becoming.
Strips Of silk held together by fancy
stitches. or an all-over lace in simple pat
tern are other suggestions that may be
effectively employed.

by the blonde or brunette, but the skin
must be white or rosy.
Black relieved with white, red or rose
suits both blondes and brunettes, but the
latter less than the former.
Red against the skin lessons the intensity
of very high color.
The wisdom of wearing red against the
skin when the latter is sallow is not to be
decided offhand A sallow face in which
there are red spots will appear coarsely red
when played on by a flood of red light. Then
the blotches show up conspicuously.
The effect of blue upon yellow is to rem
der it whittier. That Is why blue is used
in laundry work. Sallow faces placed in a
framing of blue look pale. but the blue
should be relieved with red when the hair
is black

Neither Of these women seemed to see
that the sensible course would have been to
get the practical things first and the others

Extravaganza is the evil genius Of the

veyances, that we Americans are not ex-
clusively a nation of millionaires. In the
face of such universal richness of costum-
ing such lavish display of jewels. it seems
absurd to assume that by far the greater
part of our population must necessarily be-

not precisely poor. are decidedly not rich.

Enormous Demand for It This Year
Another Lot Received at He'll .

| When Hellberg bought his holiday
stock this year, he laid in double the
amount of signet iewelry carried last
season, and the trade in that line was
astounding then. 1t was thought at
first that signet jewelry was nothing
more than a fad, but 1t has got beyond
that and has come to stay. Today it is
standard as diamonds, and the demand
is growing almost beyond the manu-
facturers' ability to supply. Hellberg
sold all his original supply, and today
received new consignment and will
be able TO fill all orders He employs
an expert engraver and the engraving
is done free of cost
Next to signet jewelry, watches and
diamonds are proving tremendous
sellers. and here again Hellberg exer-
cised his good judgment in buying his
holiday stock. He never sold more or
better goods, nor more of them Hun
dreds of satisfied customers come year
~ to the Hellberg store, because they
know they can depend upon the price
and quality OF his goods. His line in
every respect is the best that ever
came to the city.

Poem on character-Was Daughter

A brave struggle for a young life.
following months Of suffering, came tG
naught today in the death of Margaret
e. Caswell. daughter of the late Judge
the family home, 800 South Sixth
street. at 1928 this morning. 1t was a
brave fight, by brave little woman,
but the odds were too great, and Death
proved the grim conquerer.
Miss Caswell had been in poor health
for number of years, and shortly after
the death of her father on July Z, it
was decided that she undergo an oper-
alton as last hope. This operation
was performed at st. Thomas hospital,
on July ~. Unlike most patients, Miss
Caswell welcomed the knife, hoping
that her sufferings of the past could be
finally ended. Bright and cheerful. she
walked into the operating room without
assistance calling at the room of a pa
tient across the hall just before going
up stairs. saying a word of cheer, and
receiving a fervent wish of good
luck. Her operation proved most Sc
we're. and she never made a recovery.

pital was performed, to overcome To-
cal condition, and upon her removal
home from the hospital the latter part
of September, third was undergone to
relieve adhesions. A post mortem,
held today, revealed the cause of the
death to be obstruction of the bowels.
due to adhesions
Miss Margaret Caswell was born in
this city on Oct. "a, 1871, and has lived
her entire life here with the exception
OF few years spent by the family in
California. She would have graduated
from the Marshalltown high school
with the class of 80, had it not been
that the residence In California was
begun the year before.
Miss Caswells life was nothing short
of a poem on character She was al
ways sweet and gentle, of bright and
happy disposition, and one who was
universally loved for herself alone.
While her death was not unexpected, it
proved "a shock to her many friends.
Miss Caswell is survived by one sis
ter and one brother Miss Leona Cas-

Mr.. Clyde C. Caswell an attorney of

husband to the grave. having died six
years ago the coming February.
