Pretty Flounces
For Petticoats

DETTICoATS of the silk variety
when purchased in the shops gen.
orally have founces that are attrac-
tive, il not always beautiful. ano even
on the rather cheap skirts his rule
holds good. But the same thing can
not be said in every instance Oh 'ns

on silk ~petticoats this sea-
son are made scant unless they are OIL
the accordion plated type, n IN that
case they are usually edged with =
narrow quilting OF silk, either henn'eo
on the edges or frayed out IN the HAan-
ner of rose" quillings.
A scant founce Of plain colored SILK
edged with a two inch bias oano OIL
fancy silk, either Dresden. striped or
plain, then trimmed with hve other
hands at equal distances from each
other encircling the flounce, makes d
charming trimming for a petticoat Tor
general use. ,
Fine knife plated %fiounces combined
with bayadere tucks are pretty lot the
more elaborate petticoat. A strip OF
the tucked silk may be inset on the
plated founce, and Its edge may De
finished with a narrow quilting
A dozen or moro Of pin tucks encir-
cling the bottom Of a silk lounce are an
effective trimming, or cording may Dc
used in the same way.
On the dressier petticoats OF chiffon
and messaline garlands OF small satin
or chiffon flowers are used, or ribbon Is
caught up in festoons and held IN place
with bows having many loops ano
ends.
No matter what the flounce or what
the material OF the petticoat may be. IL
is absolutely necessary that the stitch
cry be done in the neatest possible
manner, that not the smallest detail is
neglected and that the f1ounce Is hung

When the Lamp Is Lit
MUSINGS OF N HTTE

YES. It is rather hard luck on you
when you near the other girls talk
ing about their new winter clothes
and you know you won't be able to ar
ford any this season. But you need not
be so downhearted, after all. New
things have certain disadvantages and
worries attached to them. which you
will avoid.
Men. as a rule, don't notice new
clothes, or II they do they dislike them.
The average man much prefers to see
a girl in something familiar. He has
got into the habit Of looking out for a
slim figure in a smart looking coal and
skirt suit, and he is quite upset ii she
wears a fussy costume when he had
expected to see the well remembered
tailored toys, His girl seems SO diff
ferent in her new getup that he is shy
and i'll at ease.
Then, again. 1t Isn't every girl who
can wear new clothes to advantage.
Many feel awkward and self conscious
in them. A girl who. as a rule, is quiet
and pleasant will be made quite giggly
and silly by the fact that she Is wear
ing a new hat
She hasn't yet learned to put 1t on.
1t tits over one eye, and she Is I'M
comfortable and self conscious all the
time she has 1t on her head.
So don't fret over the oldness of your
things. Just introduce new little
touches which will bring your clothes
up to date, and your men friends will
realize in their vague. manlike way
that you look just like your own dear
self, and your girl friends will think:
"She's wearing the same dress again
this season. 1t must have been q good
one In the first place If it lasts SO long
and holds its own SO well. l wonder
how it Is that she always manages to
get such fine bargains in clothes! ]
wish I could get Them
But whatever you do, girls, don't
apologize for your things or explain
why It Is that you have mo- been able
| TO buy new ones. II you say nothing
at all in the matter people will lake II
for granted that you are wearing them
from choice rather than from necessity
and will never dream of saying:
Here comes poor Marjorie In hel
| old suit 1t really is a shame that she
never has anything new"
But they will say:
Marjorie In always well dressed. nc

After a continuous residence of nearly
forty-seven years in Ashland and vlcn-
ity, Mr.. and Mrs James II. Smell this
morning departed for Lincoln to make
their future home. In the Intervening
years MIR. Smell has been eonspiciously
identified with the town and its activity
In February. 1855, Mr.. Smell circulated u
petition and was instrumental in having
the territorial legislature change the
names Of the towns of Saline Ford and
Flora City changed and merged into one

pany with his brother, William, started
the second store in the town and ran It

REAL LIVE WIRES WANTED
for Men Who Can Deliver
the Goods.

William Sehustte. the multimillionaire.
head Of the William Schuette Lumber
company OF New York. was sitting In the
the pessiuistie rawlings Of a young man
who declared that the United States was
going to the demnition how-wows He
claimed that the ''chance" was gone in
this country and cited the fact that over
l50.oaa Of our citizens had migrated TO the
Canadian northwest
'Noh. fudge. rot. piffle!" interrupted
Mr.. schuette Admitted that some OF
our people have gone into Canada, but
don't lose sight of the fact that for every
one that went there are ten who come in
through our foreign gSteways, also that
nine out OF every ten who migrates across
the line are sorry they did IL.
AS to the chance there Is always a
chance for the right man. more OF a
chance now than ever before, because
competition is keener.
The hustler always has a chance and
the man with novel workable ideas Is
always in demand at salaries ranging
from $1,000 to ssAooo a year. Take my
business. for instance. Everybody thinks
the lumber and saw mill man Is coinins
money faster than a mint can coin II. but
this is an erroneous impression. We all
have to fight for what We get and today
have a place for four $4,000 men who
can go out and get the business, but
can't get them, not real live wires
The kind Of men want are those like
the book agent who once sold me q book.
One day a young man came into my
office who was selling tho life Of James
c. Blaine. really didn't want the book.
but the fellows flow OF language was so
unusual and continuous that to get rid
OF him gave him s.. He then asked me
where lived; said he was going up town
and would deliver the book TO my house
Il wrote my residence address on my
card and gave II TO him. When | got
home my wife told me a man had called
Letting s., which she supposed was all
right. as he had my card. raised a
boiler right then, but my wife said she
would send a maid after the man, as he
had just left and could not be far on his
way. So the girl was hustled after him.
she shortly returned with a satisfied
smile on her face and in her hand was a
copy OF tho life OF James @. Blaine
What are you doing with that book
and why didn't you bring the man back p
asked.
Well, SIR. she said. I caught up with
the man and told him you wanted TO see
Lin, but he said he had a sick wife down
town and was In a hurry TO get to her
and he said you wanted copy of the
book and asked me II had s., and | had
and I gave It TO him and there's your
