GIRDLE SHOULD BE NARROW
Important Fact That the Woman Of
Middle Age VIII Do Well
70 Remember.

If the middle aged woman insists up
on wearing a girdle, regardless of the
length or width of her waist, she
should have that girdle very narrow
with long ends extending to the hem
of her skirt. A certain well dressed
middle aged woman who looks much
slighter and taller than her true
measurements affects girdles OF satin
or velvet ribbon of black or a deep
shade of a color.
The belt portion Of the accessory
never Is more than an inch broad and
goes about her waist, closing under
two long ends, which are drawn over
the belt, but not knotted or bowed
And these ends are weighted inyisibly,
for that middle aged woman knows
that to figures proportional similarly
to hers f~iuttering ribbons and frivolous
little Fittings belong not.

Arrest Follows chariuarl.

Alcester.-What seemed to be the
beginning of a pleasant marriage char
ivari terminated here last night very
unplensantly. When Hortense Emmert,
a well known school teacher Of this
place married Jas. Imslay of Nina, S.
D., the village youths planned the
usual noisy festivities and when they
began operations the bride and groom
at first stole out of the back door of
the residence of the brides father, Ev-
erett Emmert, but shortly afterward
returned, and when the charivari
youngsters kept up their noise, the
father of the bride came out upon the
porch with a gun in hand and ordered
the crowd to dispense. This dampened
the ardor of most of the boys, but a
business man of Alcester immediate
ly caused Emmert to be arrested and
he is out on bail.

works and a palisade, and within the
palisade were built cabins after some
of the forest growth had been re-
moved. Civilization took it's stand in
the midst of the wilderness.
At the foot of the rock, on the level
bank of the river, a bowling alley was
laid out for the Frenchmen. Around
this were other shelters, Of French
and of Indians. The fort had become
a suburb Of Kaskaskia, or, as the
French called 1t, LaVantum, across
the river. This town of the Kaskaskia
Indians was added to by arrivals OF
other tribes, especially those Of the
illinois nation. The original settle
ment was west of where the Utica
bridge now crosses the river, but the
additions spread to the east along the
low bank of the stream. Including
the Indians gathered about the foot Of
the rock, La Sale estimated the popu'
lation at one time to be 10000 persons,
1000 Of whom were warriors.
Grain Abounded In Broad Fields.

granted to a score of Frenchmen. The
river provided fish; in the swamps
downstream were water fowl: the
prairies were dotted with buffalo.
The population lessened or increas-
ed from season to season. La Sale
died, murdered In far off Texas. The
mission was removed to the Missis-
sippi river in 100. Despite the ex'
hortations of Father Gravier, the In

new sanctuary from the %Iroquois,

~Charlevoix, passing down the river,
saw only the rotting palisades. OF the
1000 Indians none remained. But the
story runs that Tonty, white haired
and feeble, was carried back to hi
rock to die among a few wondering
red men and be buried in the swift
water below.
The old fort still served as a strong
hold for the Peorias. In 1922 these
Indians were besieged on the rock by
the Foxes and their allies, but the
siege was raised. In 1859 at Cahokia
came the murder Of Pontiac, leader
Of the Pottawatomies and Ottawas, by
a Kaskaskia Indian, and the revenge
Of the Pottawatomie nation. The Kas.
kaskias and the other Illinois tribes
were massacred. A few Peorias were
trapped on the rock and there, starv.
ing, defended the single approach. One
dark night those remaining made o

differ as to the number-escaped down
the river in stolen canoes, the last OF
their people. Nothing remains to re
call them except bits Of bone. pottery
and flint that are plowed up on the
site Of the ancient city, and the silent
rock standing unchanged through the
centuries and breasting the flow Of

BRlMS OF ODD SHAPE
REGULARITY OF HATS FOR MID
SUMMER WEAR.
Unfamiliar Lines Mark the Latest
Millinery Designs-EIaboratIon in
Trimmings Is Also a Marked
Feature of the Season.

There are many large hats displayed
for midsummer wear, and nearly all of
them show some popularity of brim,
either in upward lift or indentations
or the manner of trimming. There
are sudden widenings or narrowings
also, giving the hat unfamiliar lines
about the brim edge, but these shapes
are nevertheless well balanced and be-
coming about the face. AS a rule
srowns are medium In size and dome
shaped, and there is departure from
this so infrecuently that the brim may
be said to be the essential feature on
which to center attention.
Besides the oddity of brims. It Il
to be noted hat the newest hats show
much elaboration in trimmings. Bands
of net or chiffon, frilis of lace, maline
folds, many flowers, velvet ribbons and
plumage, are all cleverly managed, so
that the composition of a single hat
includes three or perhaps four ma,
terials. The art of the trimmer is
more evident in using this variety
than in simply placing a tuft of
plumes or a wreath Of flowers on a
graceful shape. Both simply trimmed
and deliberately made hats are at
~tractive. but the latter are more In.

SMALL COATS TO BE WORN
FancIfuI Little Garments In Many

The most diffcult part of the fitting

kind or another Is to be an important
item Of the summer outfit this year.

models more or less related to these
two old friends are already In evt-
dence, the less closely related coates
showing q leaning toward abbreviated
mantle or dolman lines, in keeping
with the ubiquitous taffetas and their
bouillonees, ruching and quillings.
On the whole, these little wraps are
picturesque and piquant. Perhaps
some of them are q trifle too odd, but
that depends a great deal upon the
woman who wear them.

SUGGESTS BUILDING LINE
FOR RESIDENCE SECTION

A winter resident who has travelled
extensively and visited many cities
of this country, thinks 1t would be
a good move for the city council of
Daytona to adopt an ordinance fixing
a building line in the residence dis
tricts of the city, as has been done
in Washington, d. c.. and other
cities, thus providing for uniform
ity in this respect that is said to
produce very pleasing effect. OF
course buildings already erected
could not be brought to the specified
line, nor need II be the same ON
each street or avenue, but where
number of dwellings were already
in existance the line most generally
used would be adopted for fnt1tre use.
A measure of this kind would pre-
vent the present prOmiscous style
of building anywhere from the pave
ment line to many feet back of it.
