New Ideas in Blouses.

There is promised a return of what

nate silk or velvet blouse which now
is worn under the name of dinner

material used in one of these waists
which was worn with the white lace
skirt, which, by the way. is the skirt
de riguer to be worn with separate
waists.
The emerald green blouse in thick
satin is another revival. and there
are also seen satin blouses in many

in wreaths of forget-me-nots, the pale

The open air concert was given at

up through the principal streets Of
the city, stopping several times on the
way to give short concerts, At eacn
stop the girls of the company passed
the hat.
The Chieftain had thoroughly ad-

the city not only turned out in thous-

the pretty girls.

ure to be giving to such a worthy
cause, and such a general good feeling
seemed to sweep over everyone that
almost all the people who enjoyed the
first concert Joined the crowd and
marched up Union avenue to the Cen

given.
Many of the girls with hat in hand
walked the entire distance collecting
money along the route, and as those
in the autos and tallyho kept singing
as they went the crowd was as good
natured as it could possibly have
been.
To illustrate the giving spirit, many
of the men threw coins into the hats
of the irresistible collectors on four or
five different occasions, and along
this line an amusing incident occurred
near the Elks' club after the company
had made several stops. An old lady
and gentleman who had been follow
ing the crowd had been approached a
number of times by the collectors,
and just as often as the old gentleman
had gone down in his pocket to make
a donation.
