Effects For Evening, ~
This season semf-tailored costumes
are distinctively popular for afternoon
wear and for Informal evening use.
These gowns are fashioned from the
satin surfaced cloths now so popular.

are wonderfully adaptable to the pur-
nose. First of these is chiffon broad

Materials for evening gowns are so
gnumerous as to be positively confus-
ing. This season there is a real furore
over yelled effects. Although simple
enough in appearance. these are most
difficult to manage successfully. Odd
shades of satin are used as a founda
ton, which generally is cut princess

bottom and may be either plain or
trimmed with f1ouncings of chiffon and
landings of lace or embroidery which,

yokes. The yoke remains feature of
the bodice on both evening and day
gowns.

The BINGVILLB BUGLBl
The LesGing Paper Of the County
Bright-Breezy-Bellicose-Bustling

As we go to press this week,
Bingville IS a sloppy, slushy mess.
The rain which come a few DAYS
ago sinst on the snow which had
already fell converted the main
street Of Bingville together with al
leys and side streets which di-
verdge therefrom into one OF the
most turribiist conditshions OF slush
and water within the reckollect-
shion of the Oldest inhabitant of
Bingville and then some.
The present conditshion Of our
streets IS a disgrase TO Bingville siv-
ilizatshion-it IS a shameful re-
flectshion on the already tarnished
reputatshions OF our town selleckt-
men. What was our sellectmen
eleckted for, pray? What was they
exalted to the highest positshions
within the gift Of Bingville voters
for? Didn't they take their solem
oaths to look after the best intrests
Of the town and TO see that the
street was KEEP IN a passable condit-
shion:? Have they did il? No.
1000 times no. They have spent
this winter in alternating as YOU
mite say-they have set arothd
the stove of Hen Weathersby' 5
store and chewed and smoked
and played checkers and swapped
les and offered suggestshions as to
how this government OF to be run
while hosses and humans was wal
lering through snow in Bingville
streets up to their chins.
There amt ben a road broke c1t
through the SHOW IN the visinity OF
Bingville this hole winter and as a
result we are what you might call
iserlated from the outside world.
Now to make matters worse. the
rain has disended and the sIush has
came. Why you cant get accrost
the street IN Bingville less you have
rubber boots eileen up 10 your thies
without getting your feet wet and
/ ike as not ketching your deth by
newmonia.
! Cy Hoskins saws he reckons If a
teller only had a ferry boat to run
up and down the main street and
carry people accrost the street and
back, they could make a honest dol
lar.
Shame on the sellecktnen OF this
town anyhow-they ort to be kicked
outen office-they amt no more
good than so many wooden men and
their highest mishion seems to be
to obstruckt the progress of Bing-
