A little sealskin bolero with a cloth
skirt is a nobby combination.
A tulle ruche and a tight little
wreath of roses trim the mushroom
hat.
Amethyst is a color that is seen
more frequently as the season ad-
vances.
The luxurious evening coat is
lined throughout with ruffles OF mar

There is new inlet with horizon

When one wishes to appear partic-
ularly well, the becoming picture hat

Blouses of satiny leather in white
or colors are the modish shirt waists
for motoring or driving.
Belts of gold braid are fetching and
will brighten up the dark shirtwaist

Many women have their gowns
made up with two skirts, one short

Such pretty opera bag for the

Severe but Smart.

A most becoming gown is made In
white cloth, the back and sides plain,
the waist draped across the front in
folds that do not reach quite to the
waist line in front; the front breadth
outlined with rows of fiat crochet but
tons. A Vshaped yoke. unlined col
lar and narrow ruffles finishing the
elbow sleeves are of ecru lace of fine
quality. There is not touch of color
anywhere, and the lines are severely
simple, but if the gown be well cut
and 1t must be that-it is wonderfully
smart, and its very simplicity adds
to its attractiveness. In black or in
light colors this same model has been
made many times, but has never
proved SO satisfactory as in the white.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock YOrds-Trade

week Just passed not only in Denver,
but AT all markets. Receipts here
were fair, but the bulk of the offerings
came during the latter part of the
week. There was a good strong de-
mand, especially for the beef end, and
everything was sold out daily at strong
prices. Prices were 10 to Is cents
higher on the general run of cattle,
and some statesmen thought choice beef
steers were quarter higher. Top
steers sold al $i.25 during the week,
several punches going at this figure.

offered was disposed of at strong

higher than any price paid here for
several weeks. Others sold at $3.25
and bulk OF the fair to good cows sold
at $3.50 to $500. with medium to fair
at $3.50 to $3.50. and Gamers from
1925 down. Bulls were strong and a
top for the week was Wade at $3.50.
Neals were also good sellers, best
bringing $3.50. Feeder and stocker
trade had a very good tone, but the
supply of choice stuff was limited.
Good steers were wanted and even the
commoner grades We're in fair request.
Prices were 10 to IL cents higher on
the best and strong on common stuff.
Sales ranged largely from $3.25 to
S3.S5, with tops at $3.50. A good many
of the offerings were of poor quality
and had TO sell below $500.
Hog supply was light this week and
packers would have bought a good
many more. Prices have been up and
down from day to day, but at the close
values are very little changed from
the close of Il week ago. Tops are now
selling around $500 to $5.25.
Sheep receipts have been fair this
week, but bulk of them were pea-fed
lambs billed through to the Chicago
market. Prices on eastern market are
a little lower than a week ago and the
market here is weak in sympathy, but
there is very little change in quota

THAT new DEPOT.

We have had many favorable
comments in regard to our article
of last week, in which we urged
the erection of a new depot here by
the Norfolk & Western.
An old subcriber says another
good reason why a new depot
should be given US is because the
County of Clarke subscribed $780,
600 toward the construction of the
railroad which runs through this
County, and he believes the tax
payers have never received any
dividends up to this time.
Another reason suggested is that
a new depot and increased facilities
here will result in great growth by
the town land a consequent increase
in the earnings of the railroad
company at this point.

cd to the point on the horizon over
which the sun rose on the longest day
In the year There are many other in
stances Of different ordinations. each
corresponding to the fixed points in
some ancient calendar, but Stonehenge
was certainly n solar temple and OBJ
servatory.
Now comes in the bearing OF this
fact upon the history OF its building.
The point of midsummer sunrise Is
not always the same. The procession
or the equinoxes-or the fact that the
celestial pole is travelling round n vast
circle, which il takes about $4,000 years
TO completeness n secular change in
this point Atpresent the axis OF Stone
henge is not directed TO the midsum-
mer sunrise, but 10 a point nearly one
degree away from IL. Now we know
the rate ut which the place OF mid
summer sunrise changes in consc-
quence Of procession, and Il is COM
paratively simple calculation to deter
mine the date Mt which the sun must
have sunrise on midsummer day I'm 4
line with the avenue ut Stonehepge
The conclusion is that this remarkable
ediiice must have been erected about
1850 i. c., the possible error being not
greater than 200 years on either side
or this date. Thus astronomy tells us
that Stonehenge must have been built
somewhere between 1900 and 1900
b. c.. If the assumption Of its purpose
be correct. The general evidence from
similar temples all over the world
hardly leaves room for doubt on that
mead, and thus we obtain what may
safely be called the first definite fact
IN British history, carrying it back
more than fifteen centuries before our
Islands first came into contact with
recorded civilization. 1t is clear that
the people who could build Stonehenge
for such n purpose were far removed
from mere savagery. - London Spec

American horse show in Loudoun
county. attracted such attention
that he held a show every year I'M
til the Civil War. After the war
he again aroused interest in horse
shows and held successful exhibit
tons from year to year. The idea
spread over the country and was
adopted by the Northern cities, so
that today nearly every large city
in this country has its annual horse
show.
Colonel Dulany was before the
Civil War one of the largest own
ers of slaves in Northern Virginia,
and was noted for his kind treat
ment of his servants. Several
times he bought slaves for his own
plantation rather than see them sold
out of the county.
When the war began Colonel
Dulany entered the service with
Ashby in the Sixth Virginia Cav
alary. Later he was made colonel
of the Seventh Virginia Cavalry
and served under Wade Hampton.
He was wounded five or six times
in battles, but Notwithstanding
this, to the end of his life he was a
remarkably active man.
