Flodie to block Halls marriage to any of

rabIe Takes Root il Yard.

s. IS. Wiser of Reading, Pa. had
a unique experience with a willow
wood table which he placed in his
yard several weeks ago. From this
experience he is convinced that the
year 1915 will bring bumper crops.
Wiser discovered a few days ago
that the table had sprouted and had
begun to bud and shoot. When he
tried to remove the piece OF furniture
he found that the four legs had taken
root in the soil and the table is now
part OF the vegetation of the yard.
Should he now wish TO remove tbs
table he will have to dig.

Except as they influence the modes
of today the story Of summer styles
is thing of the past. All those
whose knowledge and initiative en-
able them to create new ideas for the
coming season have already thought
out and executed models in gowns,
wraps. millinery, blouses, and other
things for the oncoming winter.
The full, faring skirt is to remain
with US. Russian lines in blouses and
coats are making strong bid for ia
vor, and nothing is more chic than
the Russian blouse. Braids and but
tons testify to the military influence
in styles, and everywhere fur is in evi-
dence. Considering all these factors
for smartness the coming winter
promises to set forth milady of
fashion most becomingly gowned.
And to crown all and add to her joys
the completest satisfaction, wide
brimmed. picturesque hats are already
in vogue.
An excellent example Of the mill
tary mode in trimming is shown in
the cloth street gown pictured here.
Width is lent to the skirt by the in
PRODUCTION of plaits at each side, and
it is q little longer than the very
short skirts of this summer. A three
inch hem finishes the bottom. the
waist line is placed at the normal
waist line of the figure, and while the
skirt is amply wide it does not flare.
