DOWN GOES FLOUR

What is believed to be the be-
ginning of the end of wartime
prices on food stuffs was record
ed last week when millers an
nounced a drop of forty cents
per barrel on flour. This was the
first decline in the price of flour
since the European war began
and may indicate growing sus-
picion on the part of the grain
dealers that the war is fast APP
preaching climax.
The retail price on the higher
grades of -four is now 5000 per
barrel, a drop from the former
price of $3.50 per barrel. The
highest price for the staple was
reached just month ago follow
ing a record breaking fuctuation
in the market and since that time
has remained at the top notch.
In July of this year flour sold
at a little over S. on account of
an enormous wheat crop being
in prospect.
1t is generally believed now
that wheat and -four prices will
| coon become normal again.

Whatever the immediate outlook for
Paris fashions is, already enough Paris
models have entered this country. and de-
scrlptions OF others have been sent here,
TO make possible definite resume Of au-
tumn tendencies.
Velvet is sure to be in high fashion. Vel
vet hats. velvet evening frocks. one-piece
frocks for the afternoon, velvet evening
coats and a few velvet afternoon coat
suits are shown among the new Impor-
tations And the news that came from
Paris while news of clothes was still
coming shows that the velvet we see here
is a true indication OF much velvet there.
Some OF the new velvet one-piece frocks
are especially lovely. Those by Bechoff-
David have short, full skirts. that swing

NEW WALKING SUITS TOPPED
BY CAPES

Beers of Paris has evolved a new
walking gown, with cape across the
back, that buttons on the hips.
The skirt is draped up in front and
finished with large button like one
of those at the side. A high Marat
collar finishes the cape at the back.
This frock is of dark blue serge, and
the cape and collar are lined with red
charmeuse. :
The natty turban worn with this
suit is of blue hemp, with two up
standing ostrich feathers tipped with
red.
Worn with this gown is dull green
chip hat, covered with white organ
die, one ruffle of which hangs over
the face. One deep-red rose on the
left side of the dropping brim makes
the one touch of brilliant color in the
costume.

FOLLY TO BE WISE

Another doctor thinks he's found
how to prearrange baby's sex, but we.
hope and believe he hasn't.
Any kind of baby is whole lot bet
ter than no baby, but the best baby
of all is the baby who comes into this
world a complete surprise -the baby
you lie awake planning over, not
knowing whether it's girl or a boy,
but dead certain, in either event, that
it will be the cutest, prettiest infant
that ever was.
Why, a doctor who really knew
how sex could be determined, and
TOLD, would be the exterminator of
the race.
You don't believe it? Then, some
time, casually, ask mother how many
girl babies she would have had, had
she been able to fix the sex!
No woman has passed through the
ordeal of motherhood wants daugh-
tiers foredoomed to the same stress.
Even feminism hasn't yet evened this
elemental account.
There are some things concerning
which 'twould be folly to be wise.
What causes sex is one.
