THE STOCK SALE
AND HORSE SHOW
Attendance Was Good Consider
ing the Busy Times With
the Farmers.

ed the first monthly stock sale
and horse show here Monday. Il,
Quite a number of buyers from
different counties were here and
bought a good deal of stuff. The
commercial club is to be con.
graduated on the success of their
first stock sale, and If all of them
are as good as this one, and there
is no doubt but what they will be,
1t will be a great thing for the
town. The potato race, the last
thing on the program, furnished
quite lot of fun and excitement.
There was six entries in this race.
A box of potatoes was placed at
one end of the run and an empty
one at the other end and the con-
testants on horseback with a sharp
lath was to take the potatoes out
of the box with the lath and put
them in the empty box. This
counted three points, and to knock
the potato off of an opponents
lath also counted three points.
Several of the contestants got
knocked of of their horses but
none were hurt and it didn't seem
to bother them in the least. They
got up and went at it again. Chas.
Mumford won first prize and Drew
Laii second. The next sale will
be held Monday, June IS. The
following premiums were awarded.

MINK AND SEALSKIN.
These Furs High in Favor This Sea-

1t is interesting to watch how the differ
ent sorts of fur will be one year so fashion,
able and the next quite out of vogue, and
in the same way a novel kind of fur like
caracul, for example, is, when first intro
duced, too inexpensive to be exactly smart,
but in few seasons has grown far beyond
the limits Of small purse. Stables, OF
course and chinchilla can never go out of
favor. yet even these exquisite skins will be
far more popular one winter than another.
This year mink is very nearly as fashion,
able as sable itself, and consequently it's
price has so advanced as to be almost on
level with true sable. The dark skins of
mink are indeed beautiful and worn with
a velvet or cloth skirt of the same shade
make most attractive costume One mink
wrap was made up in the empire model the
yoke formed of parallel stripes, while in the
rest of the jacket the skins ran horizontally
save for a deep border all around. The
wrap fell almost to the knees, so as to be
really very warm. The high standing col
lar was faced with cream lace and there
was a full jabot and sleeve ruffies of the
same, the coloring being really exquisite.
favorite model this year is cut after the
short box style, and this length coat is to
be worn almost altogether for afternoon.
This might be called the empire jacket, for
there is little yoke below which the fur
hangs loose to the hips. In this style of
the long wraps built pre-eminently for
warmth long sleeves are more in favor On
this coat little collar of velvet is en-
broidered in old gold with a small tie of
lingerie and ValencienneS.
Sealskin is another fur that is continually
vacillating on the wheel of favor, and this
year is to be extremely popular for long
loose wraps of automobile coats, as we'll as
for show jackets. One of the latter recently
seen was deliberately trimmed with irish
lace and silver thread embroidery. The vest
of Irish lace laid on foundation of gold
cloth or braid and trimmed with ribbon and
silver braiding. The lace collar was bor-
dered with narrow band of ermine, and
ermine also finished the cuff at the elbow.
The coat is appropriate for wear over an
empire or princess dress. Sealsl1in is gen.
orally combined with some other fur or
with lace. 1t is particularly attractive with
sable but for mourning black lynx is more
appropriate and very handsome.
Chinchilla is fascinating fur, perishable.
but always smart. With gown of gray
velvet or gray cloth nearly as possible
the color of the fur chinchilla is exquisite.
A charming wrap for reception or theater is
a little chnchilla bolero bordered all about |
with Irish lace edging. The belt with its |
gold buckle is of deep yellow silk. Chin |
chilla used in this way is most fashionable |
this year. but the more useful style of
Jackets are made up in the less fashionable |
qualities Of fur.

Revival of Ribbon Embroidery.

Ribbon embroidery will be smart for
wearing apparel this season. 1t will be used
more this fall than ever because it now
possesses a practical value, while before it
was luxury and serviceable only as orna-
mentation on bric-a-brac. For petticoats,
stockings, corsets, etc, the woman who is
ingenious enough to pick up this decora-
tive needlework will find that she can beau
tfy her wardrobe and make plain gar
mentS attractive and as handsome as those
that cost a small fortune if purchased in
any of the shops where this handwork is
sold.
Besides making for effective ornamental
ton, this kind of embroidery is particu-
larly attractive, because it can be done in
such variety of shades and designs.
though most of the patterns to be used on
clothing will be floral this year Rosebuds
in varying shades of light and dark red
made of soft ribbon look almost as natural
as the real blossoms, while delicate sprays
OF lilies of the valley and forget-me-nots
may be made to look like growing flowers.
Black silk stockings decorated with this
ribbon embroidery will be much worn for
afternoon receptions and evening entertain
ments and for those with moderate means
VINO can do this work at home the possess
sion of several pairs will be possible, for in
expensive ones in plain silk when orna-
mented down the front with garlands of
red roses and green leaves and stems will
be stunning. Light pink and blue hose with
ribbon embroidered lilies of the valley that
are apparently stuck in small Louis XVI
baskets made of gilt or in gold-colored rib
bons, are striking, and will doubtless be pop
ular with young debutantes.
On petticoatS the embroidery can be more
elaborate and of greater number of col
ors, for on this garment green roses. yellow
forget-me-nots, pink lilies of the valley will
be used to correspond with the coors of
which the skirt is made. Then, too there
will be enough space to permit the intro
ductlon of an ivy vine or wandering Jew

Neatness PAYS.

Two women sat at nearby tables in a
restaurant. one with glowing, unlined face,
glossy hair, bright eyes; the other sallow
wrinked with dull hair, showing from
under her toque.
In years and dress they were about on
a par. But one looked ten years older
than the other-passe, unintercs-ng.
Yet the difference was altogether mat
ter of taking proper care.
If these two woman were to seek a busi-
ness position which think you, other things
being equal, would get it?
If they have children, which are the chill
dren likely to regard their mother with
the greater pride and loving admiration?
In their circle of friends which is the
more sought after-the comely, bright,
glowing woman, who breathes vitality,
good health and joy in living from the
very finger tips; or the wrinked, sallow
woman, who shows WEAKNESS of the world
from her whole being? says Home Chat.
It's duty as well pleasure to be as
beautiful as possible. Make up your mind
to look well groomed' as to hair. teeth,
nails, skin and small details of dress. Live
simply and avoid all that makes for in
digestion and biliousness.
We expect the young to have good COM

time-ah, that is to possess charm we'll
worth every woman's earnest seeking.

Girls Exquisite Evening Frock.

Then an exquisitely pretty evening frock
for girls of fifteen or sixteen attracted my
attention. 1t was of very pale blue silk
wolfe, made with a very full skirt hemmed
on the bottom, quite deep hem, and above
it three almost equally deep tucks. Lastly.
about knee length, was inserted band of
shirred ivory point d'esprit, criss-crossed,
trellis fashion, with pale blue velvet.
The bodice was made with a plastron of
the net back and front, shirred to round
yoke depth, the fullness drawn sharply
down in the back to the waist line, but
slightly bloused in the front. This was
outlined with fiat shaped bretelles of the
goods, slashed in the center, over the
shoulders almost to waist line back and
front, displaying the net between the
slashed edges, being laced together with
the velvet. The belt was a girdle of pale
blue taffeta, closed with buttons set into
frills of point d'esprit The sleeves were
very quaint and pretty. Short puffs were
brought into deep shirred bands of the
point d'esprit crossed with the velvet, and
then quaint little hemstitched cambria frills
were sewn in as finish.

FALL STREET GOWN.
Safest to Order Short Jacket Fanciful-
ly Braided and Trimmed.
BY A. T, ASHMORE.

A L.
The sooner the task of selecting the
winters outfit Is faced, the better. There
may be certain advantages in waiting I'M
til late in the season to decide just what
costume shall be purchased, but they are
completely overrued by all that is gained
in having the wardrobe ready by the COM
mencement of the winter. Then too, it is
far easier to be waited on before the real
rush starts, and by now all the French
models are ready to be copied.
AS a cloth dress is most important, this
should be decided upon first of all-it is
quite dreadful not to have a smart street
dress at this time of the year, and often it
has not been possible to purchase an au-
tumn suit. At present the models offered
many and various, but in a short while
the over-eccentric ones will be weeded out,
and only those of really good style will
main. 1t is safest to order at this time of
year a short jacket rather fancifully braid
ed and trimmed, and if the suit is for street
wear. with skirt of walking length. While
princess cloth gowns are still worn, the
two-pece costume remains most popular,
for cloth waist is bound to be too heavy

settle with straps of the cloth and just a

Short jackets, while most in favor, are
not alone fashionable this year. for apart
from the Ahip-length coat there are many
longer jackets, some coats indeed being
so long as to reach almost to the hem of
the skirt. Some of the long coats are fit
ted. while others again are quite loose and
rather fussily braided. The severe three
quarter fitted coat is temporarily out of
style. nor is its place taken by any model
that is half so smart, but naturally one
must remain in fashion and be fashionably
gowned-almoSt the same thing nowadays
There is one style of dress this year that
is unusually smart for that very reason
and is besides undeniably useful. This COS
tune consists of q plain or plaid silk dress
trimmed with bands of cloth, with deep
border of cloth at the end of the skirt
over this Is worn q long fitted coat of the
same cloth with which the dress is trim
med. The cloth must be put on in such a
way as not to make the gown look too
heavy-in fact, it must be an attractive silk
house dress but when the long coat is
donned the costume is suitable both in
weight and style for the street. In an old
shade of blue and in old rose this costume
is charming.
There is little of the empire about the
street dress. OF course there are many
short, loose empire coats, but they are not
much in favor, the long waist showing the
