coLoRED WAISTS OF FISH NET.
Russian Fabric Extends Vogue from
Yelling to Blouses.

Not only has Russian fish net in
vaded the field of yelling, but it is to
be a dominant fabric for good-looking
blouses. Except for the most ordin-
ary purposes, the white wash blouse is
to be relegated to the background this
winter, and even with the street tai
lored suits colored waists are to be
worn.
They must harmonize with, if they
do not match, the skirt and coat Fish
net is dyed in all colors this season, to
be used for these blouses. 1t is espe-
cially good in taupe, in plum purple, in
bronze and in dark blue.
Its coarse mesh makes it wear ad-
mirably. 1t is lined with soft silk or
messaline, though silk pongee is used
by some dressmakerS.
The elaborate ones to be worn with
handsome long-skirted suits are made
up of a cloth of gold or silver, the new
weave that is soft and pliable. The old
harsh variety was never artistic and
was a failure as a lining.
These net blouses are trimmed with
satin bands of wide silk braid. When
they are made up simply for everyday
wear they are finished with high
turnover collar and cuffs of the ma
terial edged with plating of satin.

Nourishing Drink.-So many now,
take for luncheon nourishing drink
at a soda fountain and some substi-
tute 1t for a breakfast. Thus, an egg
shaker at home has often proved
most sensible investment. This can
be purchased at druggist supply
house or procured by order of any or
binary druggist. Buy deep, flaring

The shaker costs $1.50 and is of

Novel Idea.-Where insertions Of
either lace or embroidery are used for

easier to cut the material and It will
prevent all possibility of cutting tie
insertion.
Making Beds-A hospital-made bed
is Il constant source of satisfaction
and comfort. The bottom sheet should
be put on and tucked in separate and
distinct from any other covering, and
should be drawn as tight as a drum
head, without wrinkle. All tuck-ins
must extend under the mattress as far
as possible, thus, if the sheet be
wide, the weight of the occupant will
hold it tight

A New Dry Goods Firm.

Canyon City is to have a new
firm dealing in dry goods only.
1t expects to open up for bust
ness about September 1 and I'M
til other arrangements can be
made, at the old Supply Co. cor
ner.
1t will be incorporated under
the firm name of "The Leader
and will have a paid up capital of
$4,000. Its incorporatOrs and
directors are Geo. l.. Abbott, G.
p. Hutchings, G. H. Hutchings
and Fulton Brown, with the sec
ond named party as general man
ager.
If present plans are carried
out it will be the only strictly
dry goods house in the town.
Another thing out of the usual is
that The Leader purposes to
do business altogether on the
spot cash basis-you pay when
you get the goods. Just why
the customers interest is to do
this way they propose to say in
future issues of The News.
All the parties comprising this
firm are well known to our cOun-
ty readers and under the capa,
BILE management of &C. p" THE
Leader" is bound to succeed as
a new Canyon City enterprise.

Miss BuIah Coleman Dead.

On July >, after short illness,
Miss Bulah Coleman died of ty-
phoid fever at ChildresS.
Bulah resided in the south.
western portion of this (Randall)
county with her mother and
step father, Mrs. and Mr.. j. Il.
Skidmore, until latter part of
last September when she went
to some relatives in Brownsfeld
to avail herself of better educa-
tional advantages. From
Brownstield she went to Claren-
don and from there to Childress
from which place she expected
to return in August to her home
in this county.
Bulah was about seventeen
years of age, an unusually bright
girl, studious and ambitious.
Her disposition was sweet and
entirely lovable and she made
friends or well wishers of all with
whom she came in contact.
The bereaved family have our
sympathy in this earthly parting
with their loved Bulah.

Fighting Bob" Retires.


With the retirement from active

Robley Dunglison Evans--Fighting
Bob--the United States navy loses
one Of the most picturesque fighters
that ever trod quarter deck. Forty
five years ago Evans. a young
ensign, received his first baptism of
fire at Fort Fisher, during the Civil
war. During that span of years he
has served his country CALAMITY,
we'll earning the reward of rest
which a grateful people give.
II has been his fortune to COM
mand the greatest feet of fighting
ships ever assembled under the
American flag. Moreover, he sue

of the Manila Bay hero, Admiral
Dewey.
He was born in Florida county,
Virginia Aug. Is, 1916, .sixty-two
years ago, he came to Washington
at the age of IL, to live with his
uncle, a newspaper man, upon the
death of his father, DR.. Samuel
Andrew Jackson Evans. 1t was
while attending the public schools
here that his yearning for the sea
first became manifest as he himself
states in his autobiography, "a
Sailors Log. His sturdy defense
of his mud puddle fleet against a
more powerful foe, in the shape Of
a larger boy, is narrated by him
with great evident enjoyment.
Securing an appointment to the
naval academy from the territory of
Utah he entered that institution Sept.
IS, 1860.
When war broke out between the
states, his mother. assuming that
he would take up arms for his state
against his country, sent in his
resignation to Washington and it
was promptly accepted. Young
Evans was determined, however, to
stand by the union even against his
own family and had himself re-
appointed, greatly to his mothers
displeasure.
