What THE CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE
IS DOING
(By Secretary A. ]. Holworthy.)

| tBy secretary A. j. HOlworthy.)
For the information of any one
who may be asking the question
What is the Chamber of Commerce
doing?" the secretary would reply
as follows:
Under the reorganization. the en-
! tire membership is classified into
trade groups-these trade groups
have each appointed two of their
number to represent them on the
Membership Council which is estab-
| lished as an initiative and referen-
dunn of the association; and at all
times representative group of the
membership, from which may be mi
tiated suggestions for the good of
the association and the community,
and to the meetings of this men,
bership council are cordially invited
all the members of the association
Besides this Membership Council
there are also four bureaus or com
mittees, as follows
Civic and Traffic, Commercial and
Industrial, Publicity and Conven-
tions. Rural Affairs, to whom are
referred all matters to be consid-
cred under these different heads and
by whom matters may be taken up
and referred to the directors with
recommendation for final action
The chairman of each of these bu-
reaus is eX-ofiicio a member of the
Board of Directors.
Since the reorganization there
have been four meetings of the
Membership Council. four meetings
of the bureaus and meeting (for
organization of new bureau to be
called the Credit Rating Bureau.
No member of the Association,
therefore, need be ignorant of what
the Chamber of Commerce is doing;
through the Board of Directors. the
Membership Council, the various bu-
reaus and the secretary's office. to
all of which he has, in one way or
the other. direct access
If the inquirer, being a member
of the association, has something he
desires to bring before the Chamber
of Commerce for consideration or &C
ton, he should present the matter
to the representatives of his parti-
cular trade group, or classification,
or at the regular bi-weekly meeting
of the Membership Council. or it
may be presented to the secretary
who will take steps for proper ac-
ton. but the inquirer If a member,
should not give the impression that
he is not sufficiently alive to know
what is going on in the organization
to which he belongs and to which he
subscrihes, because. as member, he
is epected to be able to give this in
formation to others who are not.
If the inquirer is not a member
he is perhaps not entitled to the in
formation. which might only cmbar-
rass him if he should consider for
moment that he was getting his
share of the benefits being derived
according to the information he re-
ccived. without paying his share of
the expense.

BY v. D. MCRAE

Plans for three-story brick busi-

and work will soon start on this
handsome structure, which is to be
built by Mr.. w. d. McRae ON

irst north of the store of S. l.. A.
Clonts.
The drawing of the building has
been on display in the window of
Weeks & Brown and at the present
is in the windows of the Cut Price
Store, a glance at which will show
that this will be one of Lakeland's
most lup-to-date buildings, a real or
nament to that section of the bust
nee dist-;ct.
Mr.. McRae will have the first
floor converted into rooms for
stores, the second floor for offices
and the third floor will be used en-
tirely by the Woodmen. This lodge
has over $50 members in Lakeland,
and is recognized all over the coun-
try as one of the most popular and
also one of the strongest fraternal
organizations in existence. The
lodge here, is to be congratulated on
the handsome new home it is to
have.

VELVET AND CHIFFON
ON WINTER GARMENTS

| Winter afternoon dresses for wear
| ing under heavy coats are interesting
| in the fact that the new full skirts
| are particularly developed in them.
! many OF them being as much as four
yards in width around the bottom. This
| sudden transition from a very narrow
| to a broad skirt presents some diff
| culties, as the management required
| to wear each gracefully is totally diff
ferent, and even the manner of walk
ing or of going up and downstairs has
changed
But women adapt themselves to such
a volteface with surprising quickness,
and certainly the full skirt is easier
to wear in many respects than the
tight one.
1t is difficult to hold up. it is true.
but at present it is so short that no
holding up is necessary. and even in
the afternoon dresses this tendency to
extreme Shortness prevails. Never has
a single costume combined in itself SO
chara all the latest fancies
of the moment as do the afternoon
frocks just now. whether they be of
velvet, chiffon cloth, silk or some soft
wooden material. The long, loose

Suits for Early Spring.

There is d decided change from the
styles of last spring. Not only suits
but all garments require a greater
amount of material than they have for
several seasons past. The quaint cos
tune of the French restoration period,
the Slavic peasant dress and the Dutch
and the military styles all necessitate
the use of a considerable amount of
material. These styles also show that
the kind of fabric used must be less
clinging and more self-supporting than
for some seasons past.
The skirts of spring suits are fiared
or rippled Even in cases where the
measurement does not exceed two and
one-quarter yards the ripple effects are
seen. Skirt yokes break the long line
from the waist to the skirt edge, and
for this reason designs with various
forms of yokes are well liked. While
circular skirts are the most prominent
there are also gored models having a
few pieats inset at the sides Narrow
skirts that follow the lines of the figure
to a point even with the knees have
circular founce attached to give the
necessary swing at the ankles. A few
Voluminous tunics with narrow under
skirts will be worn, but they are not
prominent.
Short Eton coats scarcely reaching to
the waist line will be worn by misses
and slender women For stout women
the coats having ripple skirts extend
ing several inches below the waist are
best. In semi-tailored suits military
effects are used, merely as a suR-
gestion. such as high, snug-fitting col
lars. braid trimmings across the front.
epaulets. semi-ftted flare effects and
the introduction Of pockets of various
shapes and sizes.
Gabardines, serges, poplins and COW
erts are used for practical models.
Colors are mostly subdued, including
sand, putty, khaki. tete de negre, Rus
sian green. battleship gray and black.

VALENTINES TO MAKE.

Sending valentines to near and dear
friends is becoming more Of a custom
each year for old and young alike. and
Uncle Sans mail carriers are likely to
find the next few days the busiest sec
ond week in February they have ever
known. But there is something dis-
tinctly unique about the valentines this
year. The ornate card trimmed with
lace and filled with meaningless love-
sick verses has long been a thing or
the past. 1t is the message card which
tells the story of some joint good
time or of some mutual joke that Is
now in vogue. and the most desirable
of these are all hand made.
This new kind Of valentine Is most
effective when put together by the
person sending 1t, and in this way not
only does it carry twice as much mean
ing, but it gives great deal of pleas
ure in the making and mailing of 1t.
Nor is It a difficult matter to fashion
these card tokens. Photographers
paste, two or three magazines, old cal
endars or advertisements and several
sheets of red, green and blue picture
mating. with the aid of pair of scis-
sors and a couple of deft, careful
hands, can be evolved into endless
charming and unusual souvenirs.
With the magazines the most profit
able material for this purpose is OBJ
tanned from the pages of the adver-
tisements. This is because the pic
lures are in miniature, and SO many
of them deal with. the everyday hap
penings of life. Then. too, the draw.
ings are many of them the work of
high-class artists who put some of
their best work and energy into these
seemingly unimportant pictures.
Old calendars and small books of
pictures, advertising magazines or
comic papers contain reproductions of
very neatly cut out from their back
grounds either as a whole or in part
and pasted securely against colored
mat. which helps to bring out the pc
Many of the mats are cut in the shape
of heart, with red as the favorite
coloring. Others are oblong or circu
lar. and the finishing touch is added by
punctured holes at the top of the card
and tied in a perky bow, by which it
can be hung on the wall or dressing
table.
tious cards of this sort is a valentine
being made by an ingenious girl for
one of her first beauX. From her last
years calendar she has cut the figures
one has been pasted on large dark
green card in an artistic place of it's
own. The card is suspended from a
pale blue satin ribbon and on the lower
edge in a bold hand is written, "a
bunch Of real American beauties from
st. Valentine"
Smaller cards can be easily made by
pasting a tiny picture on an ordinary
calling card. In the Christmas num-
bers Of the magazines and newspapers
the reproductions of drawings and
paintings are particularly fascinating.
To be most effective these miniature
prints are applied to thin pieces of
pasteboard of exactly the same size and
shape. and the pasteboard is their fas-
tened in the center of the calling card
with photographers paste
