/. G. A. GIVES MUSICAL CARNIVAL
Artist Tyler, the Famous Pianist, and
Cameron c. White, Washington's
Distinguished VioIinist, to Be at
Shorter the 24th INSTALL musical
Bodies to Be Present.

Some time ago notice appeared in
this paper pertaining to great treat
that would not only be given the l. G..
A., but to all the intellectuals and
music lovers of this community.
Quietly but energetically have the
committee been working trying to Sc
cure the best available talent at the
most reasonable price and finally to
the great surprise and extreme delight
and satisfaction OF all, they secured
Mr.. Tyler the famous piano artist of
Kansas City for the oath of this
month. Clarence Cameron White,
whose reputation as the leading vir
tuoso of color of this country, has been
secured for this event Mr.. White Of
Washington, D. c., performs at Topeka
and Kansas City, Mo-, and has hitherto
appeared before crowded houses. N.
G. Walker t. e president of the |. G.
A., has been assured the cooperation
of all the musical clubs, choirs and
other organizations of this city, and
the |. G. AS first musical carnival
will be a red hot success in spirit,
finance and intellectually. When we
consider that Mr. Clarence c. White
was compelled to cancel an engage
ment in the east to be present with
us, when we know that Mr.. Tyler is
professor of music in the Kansas City
high schools, we can with much GER
tainty predict that these two young
great musicians will make standing
room be at premium in Shorter. 'Tis
seldom that our great artists will visit
the far west, especially after they
have appeared in Pittsburg, Philadel-
phia and New York with such brilliant
lights as Nine. Hackley, Florence Bat
son, etc.

r. VERY woman who takes any in
rerest in her costumes Is looking
IL for novelties in neckwear. some
new little touch or wrinkle that makes
her blouse look just little different
from her neighbours and a little bit
more becoming. 1t is because Of this
ambition that they are always seeking
for tnformat ton in regard to these most
important accessories. o. course, every
one realizes that with the stin collars
and the new flaring stocks and 5abots.
the necklace so popular three years ago
has almost entirely disappeared. al
though there are yet a few oid-fasn-
toned chains which are appropriate
even with the newest collars.
The Peter Pan collar. as that informal
and boyish looking affair was called.
was never becoming and so seldom suit
eble to the occasion where 1t was worn
However. this year it is modified. the
collar slit into bands, which button
down over a thick scarf of black which
lies in a fiaring bow Of double loops
under the chin.
The jabot, of course. Is varied In
Vulnerable ways. There are falls Of
lace. both imitation and real; there are
bands with ruffies on each side; there
are graceful embroidery bows. which
fall softly down the front Of the blouse.
and there are even the extra yokes.
which cover the upper part OF the
blouse and are edged with a deep frill
OF lace.

unless a shadow stripe il used.
For summer dresses muslins, with
stripes forming lozenges. and pique
have been discarded for smoother ma
terials. OF course. more dressy cos
tunes are made of silk materials, and
they come in a rare variety Of shades
during the season. The new material
is foulard in blue and white, with
here and there squares Of the same ma
terial. but checked in black and white.
This Is a queer combination. but ex-
tremely original and new. Another in
novation is a kind of silk etamine with
double checks. This is used with even
ing cloaks, which are first lined with
chiffon and then with soft satin, so that
through the open checks the satin may
be seen softly shaded by the chiffon.

there are some satin cloaks made in one

attractive one is Of pale pink satin.

sorts and kinds Of ways and Of all
kinds Of materials-satin. elastic. silk.

THE PERFECT MODEL FOR A WASH SKIRT

ferrous they may be.
The skirt In question IL the ten.eored
linen. buttoned down the front. with
covered buttons that may b instantly
detached when the skirt II sent to the
tub. Tho cores are 90 narrow that
shrinking or losing shape IL practically
an impossibility. and the placket being
absent. there is no opportunity for mis-.
placed pleats or rusty hooks. Than NJ
the laundry II is no. necessary to force
the skirt over a board. whether II ats or
not. for the skirt opens all the way
down the front so that 1t may IL nat

The white buttons are unique, too. In
that they fasten to the skirt through
tiny worked holes and are held IN place
by much the same device as that used
on mems shirt studs. Thus when tia
skirt Is put through the wrinRer. it
leaves no trail OF torn buttons. ana
when 1t Is laundered it 10 but the work

OF skirt-making could be discovered. for
there Is hardly q scrap OF waste ma.

stiff gold braid Square ones seem to
be the most popular. and many Of them
are square in front with oval buckle in
the middle Of the back.
There are rumors. which seem to have
some foundation, that the corslet skirt
is returning to favor. This is owing to
the cutaway coats. which leave a W
shaped opening above the waist line,
which. when not filled in.by a vest.
must be covered by something else, and
this must necessarily be the top Of the
skirt.
No wardrobe is complete without at
least two or three respectable looking
negligees. and they can be made so very
attractively and Of so many charming
materials that 1t is almost impossible
to pass them by when displayed in the
shops. They are. as a rule. made in
panels, one on each side of the front
and one on each side OF the back. the
sleeves being made Of net over the top
of which the panels extend. The edge
of the four panels is finished with a
ruff1e of lace or gathered ribbon and
they are trimmed with chiffon flowers
or embroidered with ribbon work. Some
times. however. these little jackets are
quite plain and finished only with
simple stitch in heavy silk floss.
