CARRY COSTLY VANITY CASES
Elegance of These Dainty Appoint
ments Are Limited Only by the
Depth of Ones Purse.

Tor the woman who adores dainti-
ness in small belongings there are
cases which will consume whatever
pin money she has to spare. In the
loveliest enamels, surfacing gold or
silver, she may have-at a price that
is just a bit staggering-a vanity box
containing an enamelframed mirror.
a powder puff, a rouge receptacle and
one manicure implement Encased in
the same enameled metals she may
have purse fitted with compartments
for change coins of various denomi-
nations. And she may also have a
square fiat receptacle for visiting
cards and memorandum tablet. OF the
same size and shape, but slightly con-
vexed, is an enameled cigarette hold
er, and this, most luxurious looking
of all the cases, clasps with a jewel
which not infrequently is of purest
water.
Moire-finished gun is the very latest
metal devoted to vanity boxes, change
purses, card cases and cigarette hold
ers. But although their appearance is
one of subdued elegance and ultra re-
finement, they have not the somber
look of plain gun, for the watery sur
face Is in itself ornamental and all of
the trimmings, o-called-meaning the
edges, the hinges and the clasps, are
of polished silver. Moire-fnished gun
is the smart finish for bracelet watch
es and for sunshade handles, and it
makes stunning frame for the pho

skirt was particularly pretty and
graceful, hanging in the softest of
straight folds. Just a pretty drapery
Of chiffon was wound about the arm
and did duty for the sleeves of the
bodice, which was also of white chif-
fon. The striking feature of this gar
ment was the peplum of fine black
chantilly lace of an exquisitely grace
full design it was attached to the
back of the left shoulder, and contin-
ued all round to the right side of the
front of the bodice. The lower part
of the peplum was left without drap-
cry, SO that 1t formed a tunic. An
other charming model was a study of

ton dress in this case was of white
chiffon and quite transparent. Over

THE BOSSIER GUARDS.

August It'll, last, the muster roll of the
Bossier Guards appeared in the Banner,
together with statement that the final
publication would be made August 21st.
Corrections and additional information was
asked for, and the publication postponed
until August 28th, when, not having re-
ceived any further information, the roster
was repubiished. The list OF names was
compiled from memory and furnished us
by DR.. w. NJ. Abney and Mr.. B. F. Oneal
(who were members Of the company
about eighteen years ago, and was printed
in the Banner at that time. Since the last
publication of the membership of the
Guards we have received from Messrs,
j. A.. Kelly and Marshall Holloway the
following list of names, which we regret
were not received in time to appear in the
roster printed August 18th: John Gossett,

The magnitude of the issue Of the Shreve-
port Journal of November 3d-ninety- two
pages-is certainly magnificent mechan-
ical accomplishment, if nothing else. But,
of course, it is more than marvel of size.
It is great summing up Of the present
prosperous condition Of Shreveport and q
cheerful forecast of what the future holds.
It is fine exhibition of newspaper enter
prise, and it was an admirable conception
to make the celebration of the Seventh
Annual State Fair an exhibition in print, q
record of Shreveport prosperity. The en-
tire force-from the 'sdevil" to editor-i in
chief-merit great credit for this great ex-
hibition OF modern newspaper enterprise.

The Corn Crop Of 1918.

Washington, Nov. TO- This years corn
crop promises to be the most valuable this
or any other nation has ever produced, al
though the Department Of Agriculture's
preliminary estimate Of production issued
to-day indicates it will be more than half a
billion bushels less in size that the record
crop of last year, and the smallest since
1903. Based on the Departments figures
Of 7O.7 cents per bushel, the average farm
value on November 1st. the crop, as now
estimated, is worth It'll ,363, 010, while
the value of the 1912 record crop vas
81, $40, 451 900. The previous most valua-
BILE crop was that Of 1909, when it was
worth 81 ,652 1922, 900.
The greatest damage from the drouth is
indicated in the figures for Kansas, which
show the, acre yield there to have been re-
duced to 3.2 bushels, compared with %
bushels last year; in Missouri, where the
yield was Il. 5 bushels, compared with last
years 80 bushels, and IN Oklahoma, whore
it was II bushels, against 1871 last year.

INDIAN SUMMER.

This is the season for Indian Summer
and also the season for the regular annual
dispute as to whether there is any such
thing. There are those who maintain that
Indian Summer is creation OF pure imag-
ination, with no place in the calendar and
no significance in meterology. Their con
tention is that any brief succession OF
pleasant days after an autumn cold snap IS
called Indian Summer by unscientiflc SEN
timentalists, and they point to the undoubt-
ed fact that Louisiana, for instance, may
be confidently announcing the arrival OF
Indian Summer on the same day that the
people in Montana proclaim the definite
coming of an old fashioned winter.
But absolute minded persons of this kind
wouldn't appreciate an Indian Summer ii
they saw one and perhaps that is the rea-
son they deny the existence OF any such
time of year. The true believer knows full
we'll that there is season just before ma
ture goes to sleep for the winter when she
sits in placid, dreamy reverie as if she
were thinking over the events of her busy
season between seed time and harvest.
That is Indian Summer.
On true Indian Summer day there is no
breeze and everything in the open country
is seen through motionless haze. The
brilliance of the earlier autumn foliage is
gone, the trees are mostly bare as in win
ter, but there is warmth in the air and un-
der foot the fallen leaves are dry. It is
never cloudy on an Indian Summer day
and the sun, though far to the South, is
kindly. Peace is visibly present in every
aspect Of Indian Summer, no other time OF
year fits in so perfectly with the mood OF
quiet outdoor contemplation.
If this confession Of faith in Indian Sum-
mer be wholly unscientific it cannot be
helped and the Weather Bureau may make
the most of it.

along the lake front, with loss estimated
at hundreds of dollars. Newark, Ohio,
