Friday afternoon with Mrs Howard
Pierce, 1928 Buchanan street
On account of the work the Good
Government club has been doing for
the minimum wage bill, the members
decided not to put up any candidates
for the city election. The political COM
mittee of the club, however, had a
meeting Friday to discuss the coming
election. The members decided that
the club or the committee would not,
as organiza lions, endorse any of the
candidates, but that the individual
members would be encouraged to use
their personal influence for the can
didates that they considered the best
persons for the offices.
The president of the club, Mrs Lee
| Monroe, has gone to Excelsior
Springs for few days, and communi-
cations for her concerning club work
should be sent to Mrs E. s. Marshall.

ticularly good. The new shades of
tan are also meeting with general APP
prevail. The new reds, including ma
hogany, terra Gotta and Persian, are
considered very smart few greens
have also been taken, the olives being

ally relieved from sombreness by the

The oriental idea is especially pro-
nounced in the gold and silver all
overs with elaborate patterns in Bull
garian colOrings. In some of the hand
soonest of these all-overs the richness
of tapestries from the Far East is imi-
tated.
These allovers are used for high
style collars and cuffs, Innings, facings,
panels, slippers. etc.
Moreover, among the newest ideas
in rhinestones are the Bulgarian
rhinestones. These are taking we'll,

the Bulgarian, crystal and black eff
fects continue in fair regard.
