Nervously scanning the faces of
shoppers emerging from the doorway

lighted up as he saw petite figure
laden with many bundles start across
the sidewalk. Marie Lecourt! Yes,
It must be she. Marie, the prettiest
girl in the Follies chorus. Should he
speak to her? Perhaps she would
have at least a kind word for the fel-
low who had bought her many din
ners at swell cafes and had lavished
his money on her when he had it. In

hand on his ancient velour hat, the
one relic of palmy days.
But almost as he started he checked

An Unusual Incident.

On the bill of an Omaha theater
last week there was one number
that drew much applause; more, III
fact, than any other number on the
bill. Two young women, in a SOUTH
ern drawing room scene, with a WIN
dow looking out upon a cotton field
lighted by the moon, played a piano
and banjo and sang. Their dresses,
while pretty, covered even their
shoulders and arms, and were not of
high school height at the bottom.
Their shoes were not fur topped and
they did not wear wrist watches.
Their hair was prettily, not strange
ly, done up. And they were applaud
ed and recalled time after time.
Their music was old time melodies,
with one coy little joke about
slightly hayward father They sang
southern melodies in pretty, low
voices. They did not dance a contest
to see who could kick the higher.
They did not dance at all. And
were encored heartily after eacn
song.

Our Want Column.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1915-11-18
New York, Nov. 16, 1915.


Now that winter is upon us and
the season of gaieties has begun, we
find ourselves scurrying about, here
and there, hearts in furry and
brimming over with happy expecta-
ton of coming festivities where we
may dance away the merry hours,
oblivious of time and the many per-
plexities of this little world of ours,
except for the ever present question
of dress.
There are numbers of dainty silks
and sheer fabrics, such as taffta, gros
de Londres, soft satins, chiffons, nets,
and novelty brocades which are
-charmingly suited to dance and din
ner frocks. Gros de Londres comes
plain and striped, combining often
two of the most delicate pastel shades.
The soft satins and taffetas are par
ticularly effective, under the web
like tunics now modish. Although
many prefer the effective simple frock
others delight in the sweeping of tiny
ruffles and frills, and the swishing OF
-crispy failles and taffetas, panniers
of filmy fabrics, puffed, shirred, and
pleated, quantity mimicking creations
of decades ago. These are cerelessly
caught up and held in place by tiny
clusters of rosebuds, or perhaps a
single flower of lace, gold or silver.
Metallic ornaments have supplanted
trimming of silk, buds and flowers, to
a certain extent, and when used spar
ingly make the most effective finishes.
AS the frame is to the picture, so is
the dainty, filmy scarf to the frock
for evening wear; endless ideas may
be carried out with these. They are
beaded, embroidered, fringed and
hand-colored; developed in the sheer
est of nest, chiffons, gauzes and Won
derfully patterned Oriental fabrics,
designed with visions of Hours and
dreamy harem beauties in mind. One
of the many effective uses of the
scarf is with the sleeveless gown; it
may be draped in most becoming
ways. A charming example of this
was brought to my attention the other
evening. The dress was of canary
colored taffeta made with an eight
gored skirt, in which alternating
cores were made of the canary taffeta
and satin of a delicate blue. Each
gore was rounded at the lower edge
and finished with a narrow quilting of
chiffon matching the taffeta bodice
Over this striking skirt hung a tunic
of canary colored chiffon, while a
wonderfully tinted scarf, with blended
tones of canary color and blue, was
draped around the shoulders in wing
like arrangement giving the effect of
sleeves when the arms were raised.
Ends were wound loosely round the
neck, quite as one would use the regu-
lar throw scarf of heavier material.
It was exceedingly practical and
pleased the eyes of those who appre-
ciate daintiness and grace.
In our quest for evening necessi-
ties, the all enveloping coat must not
be forgotten. Those with large,

BIG WORK AHEAD FOR N.M.D.A A.
Good Program Prepared for Annual
Meeting of Northern Minnesota
Development Association

The annual meeting of the North
ern Minnesota Development associa-
tion will be held at Bemidji December
9 and 10.
A good programmed too long this
time, and tending to strength than to
length-has been prepared; but we
are not so much interested in that as
we are in the opportunity that lies
before the association to make the
Bemidji meeting the beginning OF one
of the most fruitful and profitable
campaigns this live wire organization
ever undertook campaign no less
important than it's first great cam
paign for reapportionment.
For at this meeting plans will be
made for the fight to put over
Amendment No. 1.-The reclamation
amendment, which was Amendment
No. 8" last year.
In this fight is bound up the future
of state development, the future of
Northern Minnesota and of every
county, township, city, village, ham,
let and settlement in it.
The reclamation amendment, as
put through the last legislature by
such hustlers for Northern Minnesota
as Senators McGarry, Nord and vi
bert, and Representatives Minor,
Searls, Bessette and Peterson of Col
eraine, is a vastly more importa
proposal than it was as it came be-
fore the people last year.
This time, besides providing fol
setting aside a reclamation revolving
fund for making firebreaks and
roads in and around state land, the
amendment provides also for Clear,
ing state lands. Under it it will be
possible for the state to begin an in.
telligent policy of development by
clearing a part of each tract offered
for sale, adding the cost to the price
of the land, and thus enormously has
tening the sale of lands and the set
tlement and development of the north
country.
No more vital, no more important
no more profitable an opportunity
ever confronted Northern Minnesota
The Sauk Centre herald., 1915-11-18

and the N. M. d. A. never had a
greater chance to be of high service
to the state than it has in this cam
paign for Amendment No. /.
The N. M. d. A. should begin this
campaign with every ounce of energy
behind it that Northern Minnesota
possesses.
To that end, the Bemidji meeting
should be attended by the best hus-
tiers in every Northern Minnesota
community.
The job before the N. M. D. A. is a
big job, and it needs every hand and
brain that can be mustered into ser.
vice. To succeed in it means to put
ahead the development of Northern
Minnesota twenty years. To fail in
it means to delay that development
perhaps twenty years. To win the
fight for Amendment No. 1 means te
begin a new epoch in the fight fol
settlement and development, an epoch
that will enormously profit the state
and every man, woman and child il
it.
Every county, every community, il
Northern Minnesota should begir
Now to see to it that the biggest anc
most earnest meeting of the N. M. D
A. ever had is held in Bemidji Dec
ember 9 and 10.
