MIXING HATS MATCH GOWNS

There are new ways of making ones
hats match ones various gowns. a very
fashionable woman has wide hat with
bTim faced with vel ret. The crown is
covered with soft fun black net At
one side there stands an immense DOW
of violet velvet with at least ten wide,
well-wired loops. The feature OF the
bow is that it IS adjustable, so that it
can be taken Of and another bow put
on. Thus the hat may be made TO
match gowns.
In bis box, well protected from
crushing, a certain vell-gowned woman
keeps her bat and bows. Each bow is
of immense proportions with tie edges
of each LOOP wired and ready TO De

Dame Fashion in Tucumcari

Yes, we have this irrepressible
lady even in the cactus-studded
land Of Eastern New Mexico and
her mandates are as unalterable as
the laws of the Modes and Persians
She has said that her votaries
must this spring be blue, not men,
tally, but "dressically;" and the
bewildering shades OF this heaven
ly color My but wont the stately
blonde be in it! She can choose
from navy, cell, Copenhagen,
Alice, Gibson, Natter, Admiral
and all the other blues, but blue
that new spring gown must to
be in the mode. And she must
have it made up to match and then
send in the bill to her loving and
generous hubby with the encourag-
ing remark that she will buy her
new spring hat when Mrs. Fuckers
milliner arrives from St. Louis, or
New York, or Paris.

Christian Ladies' Saturday Market,

The ladies CT the newly organized
Christian Church held a very sue
cessful Saturday Market i n
Chapman's store on Saturday alter
noon, under the auspices of Mes
danes Chenault, Thompson, She
arer, Brown and Crutcher. Every
good thing in the category from
cakes to chicken salad was offered
for the Sunday dinner of the tired
housewife: One cake especially
provided lively bidding, and in
cidentally a good price: Every
thing was sold and like the famed
Olive Twist, the public clamored
for more! The ladies realized
something over seventeen dollars
and we're much pleased with their
success.
This should become an institution
of weekly occurance with the
Ladies' Aid societies of the various
churches. Now that the public
has stamped its approval on the
project by intimating that 1t tastes
like MORE" the other aids
should fall in line and cook the
Sunday cake and concoct the salad
for the busy matron who wishes tc
attend the Sunday morning ser
vices.

On Thursday evening of last
week Mr.. and Mrs. ]. II. Daughtry
entertained a number of young
ladies and gentlemen veay pleas
antly, the game of the evening
being that very exciting imitation
Of High Five" called Forty
Two" The highest score was
made by Miss Lula Dozier and
Mr.. Askew and the prize in the
contest was won by Miss Lillian
Hilliker. Delicious refreshments
were served by the hostess at a
late hour and all pronounced the
evening a most enjoyable one.

Junior Leaguers' Program .

The Junior Epworth League OF
the Methodist church gave a re-
cital on last Sunday evening at
the Methodist church to a large
and appreciative audiance. This
band OF little ones, which now
numbers about seventy-five, is
under the able management OF
Mrs. c. b. Parchman; the efforts
of the children on this occasion
reflected great credit on Mrs.
Parchman's training. The sight
of so many children grouped on
the rostrom was in itself inspiring
and while white dresses and golden
curls were largely in evidence,
there were a few boys In the group
whose knickerbockers Offset the
curls most effectively, and re-
minded one of the witticism of q

Miss Barker Entertai

Miss Barker was hostess to a
select party of her friends at the
home of Mrs. II. G.. Hayden on
last Saturday evening. The affair
was in the nature Of a leap year
party, the bashful young gentle
men being escorted by their young
lady friends. The time was most
agreeably passed in games, Forty

freshments we're in keeping with
the delightful entertainment pro-
vided by the hostess.

The Recital Friday Night.

The recital given under the
auspices of the ladies Of the Pres
byterian church on last Friday
evening was decidedly the best
amatur entertainment ever given in
Tucumcari. And professionals,
to come up to the standard,
unsteady and otherwise; reached
on this occasion must indeed be
artists in their line: The Ladies'.
orchestra rendered several clas-
steal selections which were heartily
encored, proving it to be more
than deserving OF the high praise
that is being heaped upon this
organization. Among the num-
bers that deserve special mention
is the mixed q%uartette; which under
the training OF Mrs. Saxon, rem
dered several selections that were
received with delight by the audi
ence and encored again and again.
Miss Preston, Mrs. Neis, Jack
Pillow, and DR.. Coulter made up
this splendid quartette:
w. H. Brymer, who is always
received with delight by a Tucum-
carl audience, sang in his usual
beautiful manner and was enthusi-
astically encored when he rendered
that exquisite selection, Wait
The audience also accorded the
usual appreciation to Mrs. +. Y.
Addleman who sang Swallows
with unusual feeling, her sweet
soprano went right to the hearts of
her hearers.
The audience was surprised and
delighted beyond measure to be
introduced to a new star in the
person Of Mrs. j. w. Randall; who
proved herself to be an elocution-
ist of rare talent and finished train
ing. Her rendition of "A Medley
was worthy OF a professional
artist, and her encore were gems
which were appreciated beyond
expression, Judging by the frantic
applause.
This Splendid program deserved
a much larger audience, and no
doubt would have been greeted
with a packed house had the date
been more widely advertised. A
number of those who missed this
musical treat are urging the ladies
to repeat it and many of those who
attended have joined their urgent
entreaties to those Of the ones who
were not present and are hoping
that the program will be repeated
in the near future.
