Rock Island is naturally in favor of

destruction of the beautiful park now

Some of disadvantages.
While il is natural that there should
be a general desire here to increase
the advantages of Rock Island arsenal

confessed that there is good ground
for objection to a powder manufactur-
ing plant as one of the departments
Such a factory as the war department
contemplates establishing would en-
ploy at most from 100 to $50 men.
The only point on the island where It
could be placed is in the woods on the
south side among the beautiful drive

close several acres with an unsightly
high board fence and the buildings

WOnnan'S World
Apropos Of Popular and Unpopular
Women-Maud Robinson Cites
an Instance Which Points a Moral
and Adoms a 7 ale :: :: :: :: ::

There were two of them, both pretty
and young and with about the same
income. yet one was popular and the
other was not.
They were both married women, by
the way, and both had charming
homes, full Of attractive and costly
furniture. But when l use the term
popular l mean that, while Mrs. AS
friends dropped in upon her at all
times and occasions, Mrs. B. very fire.
quently only had one caller on her day
at home and sometimes no one at all.
Now. why was that?
Let us call on Mrs. B. and find out.
In the first place. we will have to
wait until next Thursday, which Is her
day at home. Mrs. B. dislikes very
much being caught zen neglige." and
as she Is either in that state Of dress
or else not at home half the time we
don't want to trail up to her place and
have our pains for nothing. do We?
Besides, it isn't pleasant to drop in OH
woman when she doesn't expect you,
when the house is at skies or sevens
and she is hurriedly thrusting things
away and furtively trying to pin her
self into shape at the same time. 1t
makes you feel so uncomfortable.
So on Thursday we ring Mrs. BIS
doorbell and are ushered into spotless
interior. The parlor is so very much
in order that it almost gives you a
chill, and after a wait Of about ten
minutes Mrs. B. appears in an elabo-
rate gown. She sits in one stiff chair.
while we occupy the angular little
divan and try furtively to get white
satin cushion or two behind us in order
that we may lean back just trifle.
That is. we maneuver for the cush-
ions until we discover Mrs. BIS eye
anxiously strained In their direction.

FASHION NOVELTIES.

Some Of the Most Popular Among the
Present Seasons Fads.
Fashion seems this year to run to
fads, one Of which Is the bolero and
another tiptilted hats. The bolero Is
now made SO that it really matters lit
tie whether 1t is, so to speak, con-
tinuous performance reaching all
around the waist or little hanging
thing which goes to show the desire
at least to be in style. This Is made
something like cape, only 1t is cut
away at the shoulders and nothing Is
left but a flap in the back and two
flaps in front. The bolero thus being
a necessary part of the costume, the
princess skirt, which is boned and
reaches up four or FIVE inches above
the waist line, Is met by the real or
simulated bolero. and as the bolero Is
wider than the extension to the skirt
1t makes the waist appear much more
slender than it would otherwise by con-
trast.
Some Of the skirts intended to be
worn with the fancy boleros have
fancy pointed girdles, which are pretty
and useful. as they may be worn with
any gown. These girdles are made Of
satin, liberty silk, china Grape and rib
bons and many Of the fancy castle
braids. These last are generally OF
open work and this permits lining of
white or some contrasting color, gen-
orally one matching that In the waist
or skirt or in suitable contrast to 1t.
They are very dressy.
These cunning little boleros are trim
med almost invariably with border
of fine braid. often with thread or so
Of silver or gold. which lightens them
I'D wonderfully. For the warm days
the sleeves are to the elbow, and there
are pretty long gloves Of silk and mer-
cerized sea island cotton. White. pearl
and black are the favorites, though
some favor the tans. and l have even
seen some mauve elbow gloves. They
are washable, but the first luster is
gone after that process. although they
are just as good otherwise.
There is a veritable cult for flounced
summer frocks, and some of them are
flounced almost to the waist. Another
pretty style is where the top Of the
skirt is made to fit quite closely around
the hips, and then there is depth Of
some twelve to fifteen inches shirred to
this, with q Spanish heading. In ore
Of these skirts were four rows of
shirrs, and to the bottom of this was
another and deeper flounce, also shirred
on and having the Spanish heading.
and right on the edge of the foot Of
this was narrow ruffle. The waist
was bloused, but shirred around the
shoulders. and the sleeves were shirred
into cuff at the elbow with a narrow
ruff1e at the edge. This design was
carried out in sheer white muslin, in
Powered lawn and In black farmers

Quite Different, This.

Thank goodness, we don't have to
wait for any day at home in calling on
Mrs. A. That cheerful little woman is
always at home every afternoon, and
IL she is out in the afternoon her maid
knows just when she will come in. or
thereabout, and you are invited in to
thump the piano or read the latest
novel while you wait for her.
But we won't wait for the afternoon.
We will run In some mOrning-any
morning. Disturb her? Not a bit Of
It! She doesn't mind at all If we
catch her in her old petticoat for the
matter of that.
The minute we enter the door we
hear her CHEEKY voice from back In the
library. "Why, hello" she cries.
'Come right back here. I'm mending
stockings. but II you don't mind !
don't"
And we stay because she won't hear
Of our going.
The meal is an unpretentious one
an omelet, a head of lettuce that hap
pened to be in the Ice chest, preserves
and coffee. Yet 1t is seasoned with the
same laughter and overdowing hospi-
tality.

satin for elderly women. wonder
why this really handsome material is
not used more for womens garments
than it is, for very few fabrics are
prettier or richer. Indeed, it looks ex-
actiy like fine satin.
There are few hats seen where there
is not some arrangement by which they
are tipped sharply to one side or the
other or forward and held SO by some
bunch Of flowers, tuft of beautiful
feathers or massed bows of ribbon. 1t
cannot be denied that these are stylish
and pleasing on most persons. The va
riety is SO great that one need not
weary from lack Of it.
Shirt waists are Just as we'll liked as
ever and some of the newest of them
are works of art in needlework. The
well dressed woman has different
kinds Of waists each for its own special
requirement Thick linen, pique or
cheviot, made with pocket In front at
the left side and cuffs of the same and
fashioned in a severely plain manner
are for games and outings. Fine silk
or linen lawns. or batistes with their
insets and other trimmings of dainty
lace are for such occasions as make
them suitable. And the prettiest Of
these are truly beautiful. Naturally
there are silk waists galore, but they
give place now to the fine lingerie ones.
I saw one liberty silk with lace insets
and hand embroidery that cost SOS.
Percale, madras and several kinds of
gingham are made for everyday wear
and no end Of linens, all washable. and
these look better and more stylish
when tailor made in the simplest style.
A new riding habit was shown this

and black tie The hat was a rather
short black silk one shaped like those
