MEDFORD DAMAGED
BY SEVERE STORM

Destroying thousands of dollars
worth of fruit and blowing down a
number of fiimsy structures, an unpre-
cedented storm, says the 0regonian,
ragged at Medford Monday evening
between and o'clock.
A furious wind heralded the storm
and the Medford opera-house was
twice lifted off its foundation by the
force of the hurricane, windows were
broken by flying objects and wires
were blown down, leaving the city in
darkness for two hours.
The damage to orchards resulted
largely from fruit blowing off the
trees. However, number of trees
were felled in the more exposed por-
tions of the large orchards south of
the city, and this loss will be consider
able. The storm came from theisouth.
There was display of electricity un-
usual in that section of the country,
followed by slight rain and hail.

The samurai,s Servant.

Here is an interesting legend about
an ofuda which appears as the badge
of a family at Matsue. The story. as
Hearn tells 1t, is that: "Once serv-
ant Of the family went to Ise, in de-
spite of his masters orders to remain
in the house. When he came back
the samurai few into rage and kill
ed him. Then the murderer felt sorry
and buried the body in the garden or
bamboo patch. The day after the
servant came back again and apollo
gized for his absence at Ise. You
can guess the rest of the legend
When the grave was opened there
was no dead body there-only an ofu-
da cut In two, as IL by a sword slash"

young son and Mrs. Bartmess' sister

1t is almost a miracle that none Of
the occupants of the rig were badly
hurt. The night was very dark and it
was impossible to see the road. The
baby was thrown from the vehicle be-
fore any of the rest. 1t was feared
that it had been severely stunned
because of the fact that it was making
no outcry. However the youngster
when found, was lying beside the road
without a scratch.

FALSE COLLAR NEW THING

Many of the new tailored suits for
autumn show, below the sailor collar,
which is 10 popular, a false collar OF
stitching. or more usually of braiding.
The typical coat of this sort was
seen recently, a loose %hip-length

marrow self-colored braiding. about
five inches below, following the collar
in outline. The cuffs were finished in
the same way.
The great number Of runes which
have appeared as notifications Of the
tunic effect seems to have suggested
this style, which gives q becoming ef-

TO HOLD VEIL IN PLACE
Ono Method Which Saves tho Veil
and Involves Hardly Any
Trouble.

A number of clever expeditions have
been devised to hold a veil snugly
under the chin without giving 1t an
ugly line. Here is one method which
saves the veil also and involves hard
ly any trouble. Get the narrowest
kind of round elastic, the same color
as the veil (paint the white elastic
with water colors for a colored veil)
and whip 1t over the extreme edge of
the veil, taking up only a single
thread all around. Include any cut
edges, but afterward pare time off
neatly with a small pair of scissors.
Fasten in back with a tight knot.
The veil is slightly gathered on the
elastic, fits nicely under the chin and
over hat, and stretches when 1t is
raised. 1t seems the best solution Of
a vexing problem of dress.

GRACIOUS HOUSE GOWN
FRENCH pREssMAkER GIVES TIPS

Quite Possible to Have House Clothes

quite possible to have house clothes
with a stamp of elegance without too
much expense.
"The trouble with most American
ladies'" said madame, "is that they can

is, the rich material. the ornate cut
and so 1t is difficult to persuade them
that an exquisiteness superior to splen.

"Voyons. look at the true Parisians.
Madame cultivates always the thing

will captivate and not astound. She

were, and not get there with a bound.
She makes her costume q part Of her,
whatever It's material, and she is wise
enough to have a toilet for all occa-
sions. Her house gowns-well, they

If you only knew It's possibilities for
the gracious thing! It demands dainty
finishings, and in bits here and there

With this out came a pair of ex.
quisite little frocks, each showing the
white muslin touch, and each made
with the round bodice with kimono
sleeves which is so graceful and easily
fitted.
The first creation was a yellow cot
ton wolfe flecked with a silk figure, and
with the white muslin worked over
coarsely with black for the trimming.
The yelling formed q tunic, at the
gathered bottom of which the muslin
vas put in two square chunks, the one
at the front higher than that of the
back.
Made by madame this little dress
would cost $S5, but with home making
no more than $40, as the brilliant
dressmaker herself admitted.

itself especially well to this ingenue
