seems scarcely worth while to spend
the time on something that won't last.
A number of the bargain materials
permit both economy and elegance for
these gowns, for the DRESSER textures

and with a double width goods only
three yards and a half or four yards
would be needed.
If the trained version of the style Is
chosen the fool fall of the skirt could
be cut pointed or square, for although
the pointed tail is considered a shade
more chic than the square finish both
cuts are equally used. With a plain
trained skirt in some rich brocade a
bodice entirely of lace would be emf
nently smart, and In this event the
back of the peplum could be made
much more elaborate, or be cut with
a deep rounded dip.

in a brilliant shade of blue. The
striped facing of the revers and the
cording on the sleeves are only used
here to make sequence with the skirt,
for such a blouse is as often part of a
black dress a scarlet blouse of this
kind would be charming with a little
gold braid about the neck and sleeves.
Silk, satin and cashmere are available
materials for the smart blouse, which,
besides being so chic a thing, also
adds something to warmth.
AS you have noticed, color, and a
good deal of it, %pervades this little
talk, and for the good reason that
color is far more fashionable than all
white or all black. The big makers
tell you why all white and all black
make one look old, and consequently
behind the times, as youthfulness is
the most important feature of dress
nowadays. For the same reason, trim
mings are used in the most modified
quantities and whenever a bit can be
left off it is. This restraint marks
all of the best French things, and how
ever much We may want our own
fashions we still look to France for
the newest and smartest ideas.

Mrs. c. M. Aker, the pastors wife,

D REWSTER, Wash.-A charming ro-
- nance has ended here in the mar
riage of Philip Strange and Miss Hell
en- McGraw, tho wedding being locally
styled a union of the Washington
State Potato King and the Turkey
Queen of the Northwest"
Mr. Strange last year sent a special
train of forty cars OF potatoes to east
ern markets-the frs exclusive po-
tato train to cross the continent. This
year he increased his potato area to
$500 acres and his crop is in the hun
dreds of thousands of bushels.
Miss McGraw for years had taught
country schools In the vicinity OF this
town, but two years ago she began to
raise turkeys for the market. The
land she selected for her turkey ranch
adjoined the potato farm Of Strange.
Here the romance started.
During last summer a scourge of
bugs raided the potato fields, and
Strange foresaw hat unless he fought
the bugs his crop would be lost. About
this time a drought spoiled the feed
ing grounds of Miss McGraw's turkey
farm. The grass and alfalfa fields
dried up, and the insects accustomed
to Turk therein vanished.

horde of several thousand half-grown
and half-famished turkeys invaded the
potato field of the northwest potato
king. The potato bugs decreased in
number every day as the voracious
turkeys advanced through the long
straight rows. At night the poultry
rested beneath the vines and at day
break again continued the onslaught
against the plague of bugs. When Au-
gust came, and with it nice warm
rains, the potato fields freshened up,
and the biggest crop of tubers ever
harvested matured.
The turkeys were loath to leave the
potato fields, and Miss McGraw and
Strange held several councils to plan
methods to get the turkeys back to
their home land. 1t was finally de-
cided to let turkeys and potatoes re-
main on the same farm and the re-
suit was the wedding.

Best Petticoat.

For a petticoat to wear under the
plain narrow skirt of the winter cloth
suit a heavy china silk, in a shade
matching the suit. is one of the best
materials possible. Taffeta, because
of it's rustic, is no longer considered
smart, while the soft satin skirts do
not wear we'll. There is practically no
weight to the china silk, and 1t wears
we'll. Some of the skirts are made
merely with a wide hem. while a scant
ruffle or founce, with a few pin tucks,
form a trimming on others.

look to an otherwise severe waist.
