for II will neither wear well nor look smart.
The crepe or silk bodice that is pro-
vided with the plain tailor costume for

plest lines. The 2-year-old design, with the
entire waist laid in either half-inch tucks
or else narrow box pleats, with detAoh-
able collar OF net or Irish lace that can
be easily washed, cannot be improved
upon. The model is made up-to-date by
mandarin sleeves, while the popular ruche
OF the material down the front OF the waist
laid a little to one side Is still a favorite
finish. The waist fastens in front with
either buttons or hooks and eyes hidden
beneath the ruffle. The collar is best lined
with net which washes more satisfactorily
than chiffon White cuffs improve this
waist. but II is well to so finish the sleeves
at the wrists that cuffs shall not always

GRAFT AND GRATING
Comparison of Burba nix

cial-Just as the Crow FliesO
Il went up to Omaha with

Went to the Land Show, and
there saw some things of real
interest, among them being
the Burbank exhibit. Say, that
man Burbank is some grafter,

odd times who would make
Burbank look like a deuce. /

well up in the drouth belt, but
IL was later taken to Okla

better understood, and there
IL thrived.
Another man raised the
price of a round trip ticket to

the Pacific ocean; and another
man grew an automobile
where none had ever grown
before. Many other wonders
have been achieved by graf
tiers who know their business

Burbank doesn't look like such
a much.
Don't worry about that big
list of appropriation bills; by
the time the hands are dealt,
the total will not be anywhere
near so large, A bill OF that
sort is a very good thing for
two purposes. II helps out
with the home folks, and is
bully good trading material.
