THE PARK PROPOSITION.

The proposition of Messrs. Marion
Nose, w. H. Ingram and H. T. Edens
10 donate twenty acres Of land to the
c..y for use as rar:. aas aroused no
little interest in TIE ca:nz4l unity and
has been produce 81 ach inquiry
and discussion.
The propositioa u these gentlemen
is that they will ei.-a twenty acres ad-
jacent to the Fir: MI: 9o..d, the land
lying on both sices cf -, aond. Part
of the land is now under cultivation
and part is wooded. 1t is rolling and
by proper treatment by landscape
artist could be made into beautiful
park, the centre Of which would be
the pond. This pond will be cleared
of all stumps and trees and the dam
built five feet higher than it now IS
with the result that it would pc
deep and Gear sheet Of water adm:.'t-
bly, adopted for boating.
The site Of the proposed park lies
within a half mile Of the city limits
less than mile and a half from city
hall-and is thus within easy reach Of
the people Of all parts of the city. It
will be- only short drive to the park
and not a long walk. In large
city walk of mile and a half is
not considered too long for an after
noon or evening stroll; and if the park
is established and made as attractive
as its natural beauty renders possible,
it would soon become a popular pleas
ure resort. The conditions upon which
the land will be given to the city are:
Cd that the city widen Liberty street
which will be the principal approach
to the park, and that it be converted
into a smooth hard driveway; CD that
the city improve and beautify the land
donated by laying off walks and drive
ways and make it a pleasure park, in
fact as we'll as in name.
Besides Liberty street there will be
two other direct approaches to the
park. Oakland avenue and Bartlette
street will be extended to the park,
Messrs. Noise, Ingram and Edens who
own the land lying east Of the park
site having decided to open thse
streets Immediately that the city ac-
cepts the donation Of the land for the
park on the conditions named.
In close proximity to the park site,
on the west and about equi-distant
from the First and Second mills, both
Of which these gentlemen own, it is
proposed to establish a county club,
with roomy and comfortable club
house. surrounded by ample grounds,
with golf links, tennis courts, etc. On
the high rolling land, both east and
west Of the park site, adjacent to the
park and the country club it is pro-
posed to develop suburban residence
SectlOn, WQere lnOSe VINO desire may
have their homes surrounded by large
grounds and thus escape the crowd
ing and heat OF the town. Those who
make their homes there will be pro-
vided with all the conveniences to be
had in town. for the large power af-
forded by the two mill ponds will be
developed in the near future and the
electric lights will be furnished from
the power station which VIII be
almost at their back doors.

w. O. w. Fish Fry.

If Holly Wood Camp No. 10, w.
O. W. is more fortunate in one re-
spect than in all others, it is that a
large percentage of its membership
is composed Of noble souled and loyal
hearted farmers from the surrounding
country who are enthusiastically inter-
ested in all things that pertain to its
welfare. Not the least of these things
is the fraternity spirit and generous
hospitality that prevails the camp.
At the last meeting those Woodmen
residing about st. Charles and Os-
wego extended an invitation to the
entire Camp to attend a fish fry at
McLeods Mill on last Thursday even
ing.
At the appointed time about one
hundred Woodmen assembled on the
scene, equipped with good appetites
and anxious for the fray or fry Fish

one hundred to eat them. Mr.. L. I.
PARROT was there and so was one Of
the best fish stews that his skill
ed hand ever prepared. Ninety-seven

rott says that is not true. 1t was good
enough to have had one hundred and

hood brought baskets laden with good
things. Well, we did have royal
time. Mingling together, spinning
yarns-among them some fish stories
that may not have been good for face
value-but then. that isn't expected
of fish stories. The chief and unans-
wered question is how many ingredi-
ents were there in that stew?
Such occasions as that are green
spots in the lives of busy men.
They should be more frequent.

In genuine raw silk or bungalow suiting a
clever imitation of this model would be most
attractive, trimmed with bands of taffeta or
messaline. In natural color pongee, trim

berry red, coral pink or even black it offers
tempting possibilities.
COLOR TREATMENT FOR LINGERIE
5 Eyer 50 dainty is this new color treatment
for thin ethereal frocks. The one in the right
hand corner is fashioned Of cream white
batiste. The skirt carries scolloped border
Of pistachio green linen decorated by frill
of valenciennes lace. Just above, extends
another one-inch band Of linen. The blouse
has dainty yoke and collar of allover Valen-
ciennes lace, crossed on the shoulder in bre-
telle fashion with pointed bands of linen,
outlined with frills of lace. The sleeves are
coquettishly designed, these being of linen,
slashed on the side to show peeping of del
icate lace.

Suggestions for Gowns
+ of Moderate Cost

There is really nothing difficult about the
tive. OF course there are expensive grades
of batiste, but this model was made from
25-cent French batiste.
MODEL IN EMBROIDERED BATISTE
OF course an embroidered batiste frock is
chosen as one Of the necessary frocks for
afternoon wear. Eyelet patterns in batiste
are particularly strong, and here, too we find
that color plays very important role.
The ground is delicate blue, somewhat
on the ciel order, embroidered In eyelet de-
sign in a darker shade Of blue. Ever so SIM
pie is the cut Of the frock, just tunic skirt
carrying a band Of white batiste and plaid in
plaits at the waist, which give becoming
flare to the skirt. The waist is slightly full,
cut in surplce fashion and edged with band
Of white batiste dotted with white lace but
tons. The elbow sleeves have a turnback
cuff of the same, and the girdle, too, is white
caught with mother of pearl buckle.
PRINCESS CORSELET COSTUMES
Two stunning models are also shown for
princess corselet costumes, style of garment
which prospective bride must have in her
trousseau If she is too slender and willowy
even for fashions demands, then her dress
maker will make her fit looking. The one at
the top of the page is of pistachio green linen.
topped by hobby little Elton set off with a
vest of deep Irish crochet ecru lace. Two
| tiny revers of black velvet are introduced
at the top, throwing just enough contrast to
the green and ecru to emphasize the beauty
of both.
| The princess model at the lower portion of
the page is of heliotrope raw silk, designed
over simple lines. The trig little bolero has
panel Of Oriental embroidery on each side
| A fat circular collar of black MORE silk

The elbow sleeves are oddly shaped and fill

New Ideas Well Worth
Studying

E~1 he afternoon toilettes shown on this
| J. page are not as Enthusiastically
kaSMI elaborate as this season demands,
S when things ornate are finding par
ticular favor, but were designed for
the express purpose Of affording the home
dressmaker an opportunity Of getting in her
work to the best advantage.
While the gowns are simply designed they
make up for the patchwork establishment
by the clever introduction Of color which
removes them from the commonplace. And
one observes that the potent charm in many
of the seasons smartest gowns and hats is
due, in great measure, to the dexterity with
which the designer has handled his colors.
SPEAKING OF COLOR SCHEMES
This season will go down on record as one
famed for it's rampant color harmonies and,
shall we say, sometimes discordant harmo-
MES?
Just the widest schemes and tricks are in
troduced to give brilliancy and dash to our
apparel for this season and next. And when
you come to think Of it, it is not so much
material that counts Out Of course, it comes
in for consideration, as the design and fit of
a gown, with special emphasis upon the treat
ment of color.
You may copy precisely the same elusive
little vagaries Of color as seen on a gown
costing possibly $780, for one amounting
to $40 or less and the general effect will be
much the same.
When bride-to-be becomes thoroughly I'M
bued with the hundred and one catchy little
color whims pictured in the up-to-date raj

only becoming colors matching her eyes, har-
monizing with her hair, and not forgetting a

them with that treacherous autocrat her COM
