ing gowns were accentuated by deep
V in the back, which sometimes ex-
tended to the waistline.
This Partisan and London designer
came here shortly after the war COM
menced. In the Fall she introduced a
number of novel styles. One, the
Tommy Adkins suit, has had an un-
expected popularity, being copied and
shown all over the country.
The charming dress which she de-
signed for Mrs. Vernon Castle, the
dancer, has been a distinct innovation,
which showed the artistic skill of its
creator, in applying style to the in
dividuality Of its wearer. Another
novelty is the dress which is held
slightly away from the figure by a
reed, and lately she has introduced a
Russian head dress. These last have
not been accepted and whether they
will or not time only can tell.
Her collection showed large var
iety in the treatment of the skirt. For
instance, Persian dancing frock was
wired about the hips. A number
showed pannier effects. A Louis Phil
ippe model was trimmed with two
rows of ribbon loops, and a Victorian
model had a skirt laced part way
down the front. Tailored skirts have
large patch pockets on either hip. One
skirt had a round apron with pocket
on either side. In the back it was
strapped below the waistline with a
belt. Altogether it was not unlike the
leather aprons worn by iron-workers.
At the Flower Show, the street and
conservative afternoon costumes were
in evidence and also many handsome
motor wraps. There were numerous
navy blue suits seen and many in the
light colors, such as sand and beige.
A dress of sand-colored covert was
trimmed with black satin collar and
revers. Black silk braid is used on
the sleeves, on the back of the jacket,
and on the hips of the skirt. Silver
ball-buttons were used in conjunction
with the braid.
Taffeta is used over and over again
for evening and afternoon dresses
sometimes, deliberately trimmed with
puffs and shirrings, founces shirred
on cords, or a series of straight or
bias ruffles from the high or normal
waistlipe to the bottom of the skirt.
Afternoon dresses of wolfe are to
be seen with accordion-pleated skirts.
One charming white dress was made
with a series of box pleats, the ma
terial accordion-pleated between each
pleat. Others are shirred or smOck-
ed at intervals of two inches from the
waist to below the hips.
A simple and serviceable model de-
veloped in gray taffeta is shown in my
illustration. The simple waist with
three-quarter length bell sleeves is
trimmed with black-and-white taffeta
A pointed girdle of the striped taffeta
is used around the waist. The skirt
is made with an upper section, which
is almost short enough to be yoke,

Thanks.

We acknowledge our obligations to
Mrs. A. R. Tracy for nice sweet gol-
den roll of butter. Mrs. Tracy has
right to be proud of her skill in the
manufacture of butter, for it is a fact
that there are few people who can
make any other than white butter in
the winter season, while Mrs. Tracy's
is nice as that made in the most fav-
orable season. The fact of this roll
being a token of friendship rendered
it doubly sweet.

Lumber.

Upwards of one hundred and fifty
thousand feet of logs have been
drawn in to Lancaster & Cars saw
mill, and they are now manufacturing
lumber at the rate of fifty thoustnd
feet day. If there had been snow
enough for good sleighing, fully
twice as many logs would have been
brought to the mill. The mill is a
great convenience to farmers living
on timber claims as it enables them
to get lumber for building purposes
without paying money, and at the
same time clear off the land.

Almost a Fire.

On Monday when the wind was
blowing fiercely, the startling cry of
fire resounded through the streets and
electrified our citizens. From stores,
houses and shops the inmates turned
out, armed with pals, and rushed in
the direction of the fire, West & Hin
mans paint shop, which had caught
on the roof from sparks from the
blacksmith shop. By prompt efforts
they soon mastered the flames. If the
fire had not been discovered until a
few minutes later, it would have been
an impossibility, the way the wind
was blowing, to save the building.

this city and that he is greatly inn pressed with this country as the field for the opera tionS of a motion picture company, is evidenced in the following communication to the peo- pie of the town that MT BosWorth gave out last evening just before de- parting with his company for Los Angeles The picture The Yaqui." which he has been filming here, he regards as one of the best he has ever produced and there is no doubt ing that when the work of the party here has been seen at headquarters that the Universal company will send another party back for more of the great out-of door and wonderful ma tuTe scenes.
 Yesterday morning bright and early the camera men and the director with their assistants were out filming the last few scenes of the play and shortly after noon the work was com pleted. The party was busy through the afternoon and evening packing up and it was an entirely happy crowd that boarded the special Universal pullman last evening for Los Angeles to he at home for Christmas.
 Just how Mir. Boswarth regards his stay of the last three weeks in Tempe may be gathered from the following:

 You have made our stay here one long to be remembered by us. and in leaving you. our hope is that we have made as pleasant an impression upon you as you have on us.
