for street wear, with tailored suit and
hat, and even if it does not become uni
versal, it will share favor with the low,
open collar during the winter season
One Of the innovations of the season
is the colored blouse or separate waist
with the tailored suit. This fad is prob
ably the outcome of the little chemiset-
ties of pink and blue that we have been
wearing with the taffeta frock and ser
ge dress. saw particularly attractive
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1915-09-02

women, especially, find the tailored suit
or dress becoming and satisfying. There
is trimness Of line and a feeling Of
being we'll dressed that lends her added
dignity.
Strong rivals to the coat and skirt
are the Princess frocks of serge, gabar-
dine or whipcord; serge leads. While
trim and straight, these do not follow
exactly the lines Of the Princess Of
some seasons back; they are usually
belted, sometimes panelled and yoked
Belts play an important part this season
Few costumes but show them; on the
Princess they are often merely half
belts, that is, they extend from side
front to side back, separated by panel
at front and back. This flat, smooth
appearance in front and back is one Of
the new notions this season; all pleats
and gathers are confined over the hips.
Many of the tailored coats suits have
belts of patent or shiny motor leather.
These are often ornamented harmonious
ly with applique designs of colored
suede; the soft, dull harmony of the
suede makes effective contrast and
lends a distinctive touch of the suit.
One sees, also, belts of the same mate
rial as suit or dress, piped sometimes
with suede, patent leather, or vivid
color; the effect is smart and attractive.
Buttons, too, lend their aid in bringing
in the bright touch Of contrast that is
Required this season in our smart dark
costumes.
There are some wonderfully attrac.
tive buttons of galalith, mother Of pearl
trimmed with color, bright green, blue
ior rose, and numberless other novelties
inform and coloring. On an imported
suit of tweed displayed recently in one
of our smart shops, I noticed some ex.
tremely smart buttons of woven leather
with loops of leather for the shanks;
they blended beautifully with the dark
brown mixture of the tweed and were
really the chief attraction of the suit
These, however, are decided novelties
and probably cannot be purchased sep
arately as yet. Colored buttons are used
sparingly; one or two at the closing
of coat or blouse, or one or two on
the girdle are sufficient.
The open throat for general wea,
is still favorite and will probably hold
its own until well into the winter. High
collars, however, are being advocated
by many of the leading dressmakers;
not the perfectly straight choker o,
stock of a few years back, necessarily
althought these are smart and becoming
to many, but collar closed at the tor
and open to below the curve of the
throat. These are called "An collars
and are far more youthful and becom.
ing to most than the old time high col
lar. Many women prefer the high collar

cAMPBELLv1LLE.

The buzzing of the threshing ma
chine is now thing of the past in this
lneighborhood, and the crop, owing to
the drought, was the smallest since the
opening of the desert. The farmers in
this vicinity have learned lesson this
year that ought to prove lesson to them
in the years to come. The exceedingly
long dry spell has fully demonstrated
to them that the only way to make
success Of dry farming is to summer
fallow. The only crops that weathered
the hot and dry season were those sowed
ON summer followed land, and the SOON
er the farmers begin to realize that
fact and farm accordingly the sooner
they will get on the right road to prog
ress.
Mr.. and Mrs. o. G. Tompkins and
family are contemplating moving TO-
California to make their future homo,
and week ago last Saturday evening
the neighbors quietly gathered at the
schoolhouse, all armed with the deli
cacies Of the season, and went in body
to the home and gave them a very agree
able and pleasant surprise. The even
ing was spent in games and the devour.
ing Of the refreshments. The neighbors
presented Mr.. and Mrs. Tompkins with
a nice souvenir in silver cream ladle,
the presentation speech being made by
Mrs. Throp in a very touching and APP
1propriate manner. Those fout of town.
who were present besides the whole
neighborhood, were Mrs. L. G. Wells and
daughter Of Blackfoot, Mr.. and Mrs.
Tompkins and Mr.. and Mrs. Jacobs of
Moreland, and Miss Anna Marshall Of
Riverside. Between forty and fifty
all told, were present and everyone
seemed to enjoy themselves to the Ut
mes. While the neighborhood regrets t.
lose such good neighbors, yet all joined
in wishing them success in their new
home.
w. H. Keller, who has been spend
ing his vacation visiting relatives and
friends in northern Idaho and Washing
ton, returned home recently accompani
cd by his sister from Plummer, Ida. Mr..
Keller is now building a fine dwelling
ON his ranch, which he expects to finish
this week. He will teach at the brick
schOolhouse east of Thomas again this
year, and expects to begin next Tues
day.
There is considerable talk of moving
and changing around the coming winter
among the farmers in this vicinity, but
when the time comes the most of them
will be found at the same old post.
Miss Winkler of Taber, has been en-
gagged to teach here this winter, but
school is not expected to begin until
October.
Mr. and Mrs. Jess Weigle and the
Misses Fister and Volpert of Black

were callers at Campbellville last week.

Biliousness and Constipation.

1t is certainly surprising that any wo-
man will endure the miserable feelings
caused by biliousness and constipation,
when relief is SO easily had and at so
little expense. Mrs. Chas. Peck, Gates,

OFFICIAL RESULT TUESDAY.
State Democratic Committee Meets
at Jackson Tuesday to Declare
Final Result.

Meridian, Miss, Aug. 6 j. NJ.
McBeath, chairman of the state
Democratic executive committee,
has sent out the following to the
secretaries of the county Democrat
ic committees:
''Yuu are earnestly requested to
transmit to Jos. w. Power, secre-
tary of state, Jackson, Miss, a tab
ulated statement of the vote cast
in your county. The state execu-
tive committee meets at jackson on
Tuesday, August 10, for the pur-
pose of canvassing the returns. If
each county committee will give
this matter prompt attention it
will save the state committee con-
siderable work."
This means that the official re-
turns will be declared when the
committee meets on the date men,
toned. There is no recourse from
the decision of the state committee,
the supreme court having ruled
that the state committees decision
is final.

A lady in Brookhaven who sees
suffrage in the distance for women
has begun to practice up'' She
voted the ballot for twenty three
offices and only four of her choice
failed to be elected! 1t might be
here remarked that she is willing
to admit that three Of her lost
votes were sympathy votes or
there would have been only one left
to her discredit as far as the popu-
lar election was concerned. We
mention this because il is so often
urged that women will vote
right" This woman yielded to
bias that pervades humanity and
that does not recognize sex. Per-
sonaI ties and life long associations
are strong among people and can
not be wholly ignored as yet in

part 10 mudsIinRing in the cam
