Miss Mary Murphy entertained
Misses Helen Hall and Julia Grace,
of Grafton, during the music festival
and field meet
Miss Garda Macdonald. who was a
Grafton guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed.
Davis during the celebrities of last
week, left on Sunday for Crookston,
where she will be the guest of Miss
Alys Handy for few days.
Black hats, rather than white. will
be worn more than last year. Many
browns, in all sorts of shades-blues,
greens and neutral tints-are much
seen, but the color of the costume
should be shown in the hat to some
extent. A smart mushroom hat, worn
with an all-black costume, is of burnt
straw trimmed with bright cherry sat
in ribbon. which crosses the crown
and the hair at the back, tying in
bow just below the puffs and curls.
From the top of the crown down over
the brim fall very natural-looking
cherries.
A. j. O'Shea, the we'll known archi-
tect, and Miss May Stanford. both of
Fargo, went to Mapleton Saturday
afternoon. where they were united in
the bonds of wedlock. They had
rather an unpleasant experience on
returning home, for they missed the
train and come home in a rather prim-
tive vehicle. Their many friends ex-
tend congratulations and best wishes.
With every season comes an ex-
travagant fad OF fashions. This year
it is the embroidery of linen dresses.
Gowns of medium weight in white
linen are worked by hand in the most
intricate designs. The dress is a
mass of handwork. which is all EN-
broidered before it is made up, it
then being fashioned into coat and
skirt suit for summer, wear.
Since the seasons most popular
color is brown in all shades. novel;
ties in footwear to match, are brought
about by the fashion. Where brown
is used there is no excuse for the
shoes not matching almost perfectly.
Tan shoes are also worn with any
cOlored frock; and are considered good
taste. To match the golden brown
shoes are golden brown stockings,
plain, striped, embroidered and even
self-dotted. So extremely short are
the new walking skirts that it is very
important to have the footgear as
correct as one can make it. Pointed
toes, with long vamps, are still the
preferred shapes and pumps are as
much in favor as ever
Among the readymade frocks one
finds some very pretty white linens
with tiny figures over their surfaces
in color. A white with light blue fig
ures that look like bits of the Greek
border that has been cup up and scat
tered about is exceedingly dainty, but,
of course, being a heavy linen, is
tailored.
They tell us that the bizarre effects
in hosiery are intended to be worn
with the high boots. Then why have
them at all? Why wear something
which is in such bad taste that We
have to preclude all danger of its
being seen by covering it with some
thing else? Fine silk and Isle in
plain cQors exactly matching are cor
rect for wear with the pumps and low
shoes.
There's a new automobile coat.
which seems. especially designed for
I the woman to whom the loose coat is
unbecoming. The upper and lower
parts are separated by fitted belt,
the skirt being close over the hips and
quite full about the feet. after the
manner Of the new walking skirt. 1t
gives the woman with a good figure
very trim, neat appearance.

her cousin, Miss Guinan of Grafton,
