M ANY mighty enterprises have
IVA been built with but one of these
great principles as their foundation.
The success of the Underselling Store
is due to the combination of the three.
HIGHEST QUALITY, ABSOLUTE HONESTY,
LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICES
And when one considers the tremen-
dous quantities of merchandise to sup
ply the demands of the Underselling
store we can we'll afford to sell the
very best at the lowest prices-and
THIS WE DO. What the Underselling
store has saved for many of its custo-
mers can not be estimated, and friends
do you suppose your case will be an
exception? Not likely. In fact, we
selected these specials SO as to make a
disappointment impossible. Begin to-

With Fashions and Love to fill our

Wars and suffrage and strikes seem

SO Betty smiles in her basque OF

And | bask in the smiles of Betty.
NEW YORK, Aug 14.-The black
basque plays as important a part In
the sartorial makeup Of the dainty
maid who follows the fashions as
the black masoue in the sartorial
makeup Of the taking person who
follows the DARK lantern and the
jimmy
Preferably and almost invariably
of black velvet. this newest basque
Is worn with a fluffy and many
flounced skirt of white organdie or
batiste. Often the skirt while It has
an organdie foundation breaks out in
hounces Of either tulle or chiffon.
Delicate orchid and sweet pea tints
are also used for these skirts as well
as the all white and the effect Of the
froth of many ruffies bursting out be-
low the close sheath Of rich black
velvet basque is charming enough to
compensate for the rather obvious
discomforts Of such apparel on mid
summer day.
As a concession to the heat, varia-
tions of these basques are shown de-
yeloped in either black taffeta or
black satin, but they lack that in
describable air of chic Of the vel
vet brand. Hence they are not much
favored by the fashionably elect
who have long since bowed to the in
exorable mandate of the mode that
one cannot be truly smart and COM
Portable all at the same time.
The velvet basque is always low
of neck and long of sleeve and but
toned either up the front or back
with visible bullet buttons. On
some of them sheer roll collars of
organdie or a tulle frill softens the
effect about the throat.

The third steamboat in the world
was invented by Robert Fulton. and
his first experiments were made in
Plombieres In 1903, whilst his tri-
umphs on the Hudson were delayed
until 1907 or twenty-one years after
Fitch propelled his first skiff steam

Aside from the story OF the steam

rouncement that several British
merchantmen at Bermuda are await
ing the arrival of ships of war to
escort them to London" Dispatches
from New York and Philadelphia tell
OF the arrival Of English vessels off

That the News Letter had a bust

Fulton was the first successfully to
apply the principle Of steam propul-
sion is the information conveyed in a
copy Of the Boston News Letter, the

This paper was edited oy John Camp

1850. A reprint copy of one of the
papers which is in possession Of Z.

street, contains the following relative
to Fitchs steamboat:

JEFFERSON, Mo-, Aug. 14.-Arm-
ed with pick and shovel, Governor Ma
jor, for the second time. today led the
men of Missouri in the betterment of
the States highways. Today and to-
morrow are Good Road Days, by exec
utive proclamation. Major Inaugural
ted Good Road plan last year, and
250,000 men, in two days, donated
work and material estimated to be
worth $1,500,000. Greater results are
expected this year The results OBJ
tanned last year in Missouri stood out
so favorably and the plan proved so
popular that many other States took
up the idea, while more are preparing
to follow the move of Missouri this
year. August dates were selected be-
cause the season is most favorable for
road improvements, and because the
farmers have more spare time at this
particular season. The governor be-
lieves that large per cent. of the men
who observe the proclamation will
work not only on the two days desig-
mated but five days. Thousands Of
Missouri chickens today were sacri-
ficed to the cause. The good wives
knowing well the appetites of road
workers, selected shady spots near
where the various gangs were at work
and served real feeds for the volun-
teers which turned the noon hour into
a picnic.

This is a truth that all should know,
Here in this town of ours
Enough of right good orders; and
No need to waste your hours.
Enter this or that one, friend.
When you are asked. just say,
Oh, yes, I sure would like to join;
Don't, on your life. delay;
Dear ones within your home, my
friend, need
Food and care, and things;
Enough of cares from day to day,
Loves labor always brings;
Look out, while young, get in some
lodge;
Old men, they seldom take.
When applications come from them
Some hearts are made to ache
The dues are small, in most, and
Every man should try
Make some provision while in health,
Perhaps, you soon may die.
Look at initials, get your coat:
Enter the place and ride the goat.

There certainly Is nothing half way
about Fashion and from the extrem-
ity of no sleeves at all. or at least
none to speak of, the long sleeve is
now being the dernier cri For after
noon and street wear they are abso-
lutely the only permissible sleeves;
as the total absence Of arm covering
still holds good for evening toilettes
IL is simply case of long sleeves or
none. While the velvet and satin
tasques all show uncompromisingl
long tight sleeves of the same ma
terials long sleeves of lace and tulle
ere very smart in combination with
the silken bodces of many of the
dressy little afternoon frocks OF taft
feta or crepe. The lingerie gowns
are all showing the long sheer sleeves
now and a pretty fad is the wearing
OF a circlet Of tiny rosebuds or some
other small artificial flowers between
the elbow and the shoulder to peep
through the mist of lace or tulle.
Bracelets Of sparkling Jewels are also
given a welcome haven in like posi-
tion and many are the fortunes in
gems that one fair maid is thus en-
ebled to keep up her sleeve.
As sort Of reaction against the
multi-oolored strands of beads that
have all summer decorated the
bosoms Of both Judy O'Grady and the
Colonel's lady. that latter parsonage
is now going in exclusively for
strands OF pearls. Real or otherwise
strings OF these luminous tearlike
Jewels show to best advantage atop
the background of the black velvet
basque and contrary 70 the long ac-
cepted decree that pearls before
breakfast were as bad as pearls be-
fore swine pearls are now being
proudly Haunted in the face of tradi-
tion and the rosy dawn
The present penchant for the
chaste pearl has by no means COM
pletely done for the beads Of many
color, however. AS brilliant beaded
bands for dress trimming. and as
fringe and garnishment on purses
end bags of silk and velvet they will
fulfill different but an equally pro-
minent sphere this Fall and winter.

The run on velvet is by no means
confined to the basque. Already the
all velvet hat saucy and perky in its
miniature proportions has ousted the
fragile straw from the heads of sum
mer beauties. SO tiny and close fit
ting are they that they seem made
quately TO dispute the prophecy that
large chapeaux Of picture proportions
are coming to the top again ere long.
And yet following the immutable law
that everything goes the limit be-
fore II changes and things are al
ways worse before they are better,
this August crop OF wee velvet hats
may be to prove the rule that they
have only gotten smaller to get
larger.
