Wolfe is used extensively and usually
trimmed with bands Of taffeta. Sand
colored wolfe skirts have brown taffeta
Jackets.
Lunette is an American. made fabric
which takes the place of the Georgette
crepe, which is made abroad and has
become very scrace since the war.
Whole dresses are made of it, especially
for evening wear, and it is most at
tractive and more durable than chiffon
There is an indestructible wolfe which
is very much like chiffon that is also
used great deal. It comes in all the
beautiful old-fashioned designs in Dolly
Warden and Dresden designs, as well
as in the large figured effects.
Plaid fabrics are having a renewed
vogue in Paris, although they are con.
sidered novelty rather than staple
fabric. Black is naturally very stylish
as would be expected, when one thinks
that all France is in mourning. After
black comes white. White evening coat,
are considered very fashionable; also
coats of white serge and gabardine 70,
the separate coat. Black and white com
bined is also very good and largely fea
tured, and in its train purple and gray
lin fact, all the mourning and semi
mourning colors-are having a vogu,
which they will probably not have unit
another war.

A CHANCE FOR YOU

We are going to help you and our
selves at the same time. We are going
to educate you up to the value of using
the classified department of The
Optimist. Have you any idea of the
money you could make if you were to
lot all the people in this county know
what YOU had for sale9 Do you know
that no matter how apparently useless
some article has grown, some other
person has a use for that article AND
WILL BUY IT.
But he cannot buy it if he does not
know WHERE to get it. In the big
cities the classified departments of the
newspapers are as INTERESTING AS
THE NEWS COLUMNS. In fact they
contain real live NEWS. And those
who use them are reaping great advan-
|tages-BOth THE BUYERS AND THE
SELLERS.
Or late the smaller papers are push
ing their classified departments into
more prominence. The other day we
picked up weekly, published in a
county scat town in Wisconsin. It's
classified column was GA WONDER. -
Apparently everyone in the county was
using and reading it. Lack of space
prevents us from reproducing it., al
though we would like to do so. But
here are few of the things that were
advertised for sale by the farmers and
the tOwnspeople: Houses, lots farms,
glass cupboard, chickens, sewing ma
chine, turkeys, rugs, eggs, upholstered
goods, crockery, geese, butter, cores
p0ndence school course, cheese, feathers,
manure, incubator, horses, finger ring,
automobile, jars of fruit, fence posts,
hogs, (plain and fancy0 embroidery
lessons, suit of clothes and fur overcoat,
home made bread, a colt, library of
100 volumes, home knit socks, cream
separator, two calves, concrete block

hams and bacon, wind mill, general
store, soy beans, alfalfa meal, desk
and chair, typewriter, cabinet organ
short horn bull, bird dog, hay stacker
rake and loader, five tons of coal and
a gun.
If you have any of the above named
articles for sale-or anything like them
let us know and we will run classi
fled ad in the Optimist. The cost il
very small-only 10 cents per line fol-
one insertion or 25 cents per line fol
three insertions. For cents per line
we will keep your ad running for IL
weeks. Someone wants what you have
to sell.

the dress you wish to remodel is
Off TX, or a summer fabric very sim
plA3ay of modernizinz it is to add
lou section of two or more ruffleS,
&C fding to the width of the ruffles
and the depth of the lower skirt which
shows. l saw very pretty taffeta dress
the other day which had been made
with flaring tunic and very tight
lower skirt. The owner of the dress
made the lower skirt wide by inserting
triangular piece of the material into
the back seam. Two ruffles she made of
the same taffeta, with narrow hens
machine hemstitched. These were placed
onto the foundation skirt and, of course
the piecing was hidden, and joined be-
low the long tunic. The dress was very
smart and looked as though it might
have been designed this season instead
of last.
With little forethought and a care
full studying of a new designs to be seen
in the fashion magazines or fashion sec
tions of the newspapers many an old
dress whose style is hopeless can be
made into an up-tO-date garment which
will give great deal of pleasure.
In my first illustration 1 have shown
a dress whose lines are simple enough
to suit the most conservative of tastes
and yet are so smart that wherever the
gown is seen the wearer would pass as
a well-dressed member of society. The
model is developed in Belgian blue
ribbed material, light of weight and
suited to the skirt whose wide tucks
give an effect of deep heme in floun-
ced skirt.
News from Paris says that gabardine
continues to be very smart. 1t has the
qualities which should endear it to the
American mind, for it is serviceable,
practical, and comes in all the known
shades, from navy blue, black, white to
all the shades of tan and gray.
Checks large and checks small are
being shown for the spring suits. In
my illustration I have shown a trig
little suit with diagonal black and
white check. The coat is made some
what on Norfolk lines, with a six -gor-
ed skirt cut the short ankle length,
to which length all skirts should be
cut to have the proper style this year.
Instead of shoes, to be distinctly up
to Paris styles, boots of this character
Russian boots they are called, they
button or lace up the sides and wrinkle
in mousguetaire fashion.
Empire lines are shown in every.
thing. Suits are made short wasted
with full peplums hanging from the
belt. Tailored frocks are made short
wasted, with wide or narrow belt
which is attached on it's upper line
only and hangs free on its lower edge
giving a boxed effect. The evening
dresses are made distinctly after tn,
gowns of the Empress JoseDhine's per
iOd, the waists just coming below the
bust, and the skirts longer and fuller
than those of her time, but clingine
gracefully to the figure. q

In the armory, Sunday afternoon and
evening. rs the answering Of questions
by the war correspondent of the Sat
urday Evening Post. It is expressly
understood before these questions are
answered, that they shall not be such
as will provoke controversy, but In
spite Of this announcement by the
speaker they frequently do become
SO, but Cobb deprecates anything Of
this kind. He says his answers are
simply superficial, and he does not
pretend that he really knows how
lonw the war will last or what win be
the outcome. He does state, however.
that his belief Is that America should
be prepared for anything that may
happen In the future.
Cobb's advent to the lecture plat
form was accidental. A dinner was
given one night in the Green Room
club in New York. and Cobb was
asked to tell something OF what he
saw in the European war zone. He
had known as an after dinner speak

perhaps he had been boring the ban

 TRAILS ID WEST

KANSAS CITY, June "A Dust today hangs low on the old Santa Fe trail. Once again the California rush is on. But the prairie schoon- CTS have gwen way to touring cars, racers, runabouts and family cars.
 On fair days a steady stream of autos loaded down with tents, suit cases, stoves and bathtubs, passes the Kansas City bureau of the Gazette which happens to be located on the trail.
 Where are they from? Oh every- where. They advertise their "home berg" too. Nearly always with pennants. Somewhere, Penn, to California; or ''Downeast, Con-, or up north, Michigan" Some times signs are painted all over the car, providing somebody is mix ing advertising with pleasure.
 Khaki clothes predominate., Reg ular honest-to-goodness catalog tour ing clothes. Evidently no one ever cleans his car after he starts for the golden west. They must show the wear and tear of the trip. They must carry mud from every state along their route. Sort of souvenir stunt you know.
 Occasionally the gasoline trail sees a stranger, or two, walking along to the exposition and selling hair pins or shoe strings to make expenses. Then maybe its donkey cart or dog car to haul the com missary department. But the old trail is busy, they are going west in droves and ''seeing America" at close range.

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
 OF ST. MARGARET'S GUILD

A most successful meeting of St. Margarets Guild of the Episcopal church was held Tues day afternoon with Mrs. McD. Robinson. About twenty five persons were present and accom- plished something toward the piece of loom work now in pro- gress. Any old silk pieces, dis carded cravats and such, will be gratefully accepted as contribu- tions to this work by the ladies of the Guild.
 An attractive and massvie pin cushion in scarlet silk and val lace is for sale to the highest bidder. This cushion was bought at one of the Guild sales for ten dollars and returned to the ladies to be resold. Considerable inter- est is manifested in the Dollar League. This is a small gift for each woman of the town to con- tribute of her own labor toward the rectory fund.
 Refreshments were served during a period of delightful music contributed by Madams, Wells, Rittenhouse and Lee.
 The Guild is doing fine work this summer and hopes to contin- ue the interest far into the fall.
 The next meeting will be with Mrs. and Miss Watson.
