Hoisington Growing

We had the pleasure of spend
ing a few hours in HOisington on
Tuesday afternoon, visiting with
a few of the business men, as
many as our limited time would
permit. We congratulate the
city on the progress that has been
made the past year. One three
room, two story building has
gone up north of the Dispatch
corner, Same is occupied by Pi-
Finger and the Heath-Yenser
Dry Goods Co. Frank Laden
berger started in to rebuild a
business room there, and before
he went very far he concluded
to do a little better, and is now
pushing to completion a two
room, two story building on the
corner opposite Degen's. The De-
gen store has had a fine new
front put in, as has also the E.
R. Moses Nero. Co.'S rooms. An
other two room, two story build.
ing is the Beckett City Hall
building. The first floor of the
city hall building will be used

and for the various city officers
The Beckett building we under
stand is to be used for a vaude
vile show. The foundation il

Miss Opal Baker to We'd

Miss Opal Baker, assisted by
Miss Grace Gano, entertained
their bridge club yesterday af-
ternoon at the home of Miss Bak
er. After the bridge game and
just before the serving of the
dainty two course luncheon the
guest were given a little silk
bag, each bag containing a mini
ature black cat with the cards
attached of Miss Opal Baker and
Mr.. Scott Clark. This way the
"cat was let out of the bag"

not altogether a surprise to her
girl friends for there had been
many whispered rumrors con-
cerning Miss Bakers engagement.

the wedding is expected to be

THE EVENING WRAPS ARE GAY.
lioht Colors Chosen for Loose Coats That Are Notifications of the
 Cane

The evening wrap nowadays IS al most as important as the evening gown. Few dark wraps are seen. and, although now and then some woman with a Southern passion for brilliant color will appear in crimson velvet or peacock -colored cloth, most of the coats and wraps are in white or very light colors and are worn only with ermine or white fox.
 The newest evening wrap is cut like a coat, but quite as loose as a cape. One that will be much copied and worn before the winter Is over was in very pale shade of robins egg blue broadcloth. The sleeve was cut in one with the coat and ended in deep turned back cuff faced with a coarse-ribbed ottoman silk the color of the cloth.
 A seam ran from the neck to the bottom of the sleeve along the outside of the arm so that the coat fitted the shoulders rather more closely than in most sleevin-one wraps. The neck opening of the coat was deep. the shawl collar of the ottoman silk de-
