| W. EpsoN. Supt.
DIR. l.. A.. Creighton has had hi>
farm adjoining this city on the west
surveyed and laid off into lots which
he will offer for sale in u short time.
These lots are conveniently located
and will make excellent homes for
many people. We understand that
the Doctor has reserved few acres
for himself and that he will erect a
handsome residence there as soon as
he can perfect his plans.
The new firm of Weesner Perry \ Co
has assumed charge Of the store which
was recently purchased Of W. A.
Smith aud is now ready for business
Besides all the fresh and nice grocer
les this new firm will carry a full line
Of dependable dry goods and will make
q specially Of ladies ready to. wear gar.
nlents. This firm has the confidence
of the people Of this community and
we extend to them the glad hand and
believe that their association with the
public will be mutually profitable.
1t WAS hardly dreamed, when the
NJ. e. church building Vas erected
that it would prove too small to &C.
commodate the audiences. Sunday
evening many were unable TO enter
the church because of its crowded con.
dition. The exercises we're unusually
attractive, IL being Childrens' Day.
But the ordinary Sunday evening audi.
ence fairly fllls the seating capacity Of
the church. Rev. Tompkins seems to
be very fortunate In his ability to en-
list the interest and activity OF the
young. His services are attended by
young men and women In numbers
greater, probably. than all the other
protestant churches combined.

Evening journal., 1912-07-31
FASHIONS AND FADS

Vests to go with mnnnish tailored
suits are strictly mannish style, with
bone buttons.
Chantilly and shadow laces com
bined make one of the prettiest effects
of the season.
Mannish shirts of white satin are
worn with the summer suits Of white
serge or ratine
Serge or charmeuse street dresses
show pleats I'm many forms; also the
favorite panniers.
Small quantities of metal embroid-
cries appear on the more elaborate
new fall suits.
Fur trimmings. in the shape of mar
row bands, collars and cuffs, are al
ready seen in Paris.
TwO-toned striped fabrics will be
seen in the new autumn coats; the
richer and rougher the better.
Chiffon overdresses for evening
dresses are now embroidered very
heavily with pearl or crystal beads.
A great feature is made Of the but
tonholes on the new suits. They are
bound I'm velvet, satin, cloth or braid
Dutch collars of pique for low
necked dresses have smart touches Of
black in the shape of bows and but
tons.
Raglan, seton and kimono sleeves
are all used for the new raincoats,
but the severely plain styles are al
ways good.
At the recent English races many
vivid colors have been seen, together
with the always favorite black-and-
white.
Among silks the ribbed weaves are
liked more and more, while pompa-
dour printings are the favorite novel
ty.
Soft, clinging wraps for summer
and autumn are being made of black
satin, often lined with some vivid con-
trasting color.
Artists say that the one thing a
woman must never forget in her
gown is the long lines, no matter
whether she be tall or short.
One of the new types of three
quarter coat is carried out in two
toned cloth with a very large rib and
has a perfectly straight standing col
lar.
French ribbon-work flowers, used
in the form of knots or wreaths and
hidden by overdraperies, are one OF
the most charming new features OF
evening gowns.
On evening gowns one of the recent
features is the girdle of black velvet
with two long streamers caught anC
knotted near the bottom of the skirt
Another is the keynote girdle of chif
fon in the same color, only a little
stronger, as the tunic.
