The high waistline and the normal
one has taken the place of the moyen
age line in many of the models, although
the long line is often expressed in the
glrdle which comes down over the hips
The short round and pointed basques
are combined with fluffy, frilled skirts.
In my illustration is shown a dress made
of striped taffeta. The short waist is
round, with slight point directly in the
front. The square Callot neck is a very
much more becoming line at the neck
than the straight Dutch or round neck.
The full skirt is especially attractive

in the front and back, and are about
knee-length at the sides.
For some time the corset makers have
been making their corsets to curve in a
little at the sides, and give the slightly
smaller waist effect, and then they
added little to the height of the corset
and added inserts of elastic to the backs
and fronts. Some of the very newest
models which are being sent out to try
the market are undoubtedly pinching
the fronts a trifie. 1t is hard to tell
whether this is forerunner of what we
may expect in small waists, or merely
compromise in order to take care of
such contingency if it should suddenly
come upon us.
Partisan sketches show strong tend
ency toward straight girdles, which are
worn at the normal waistline These are
more becoming to the waist that is
'nipped" in a trifie than the one which
is straight up and down.
The dainty muslin frocks, which are
already being made for summer, have
three-inch belts of black velvet ribbon.
The high collar is very smart, but
Paris has swerved trifie from her allie

This Harrisburg branch stands for

To the modern business man this motor

During the past week the actual re.

tirely new customers, who came to us
unsolicited and without effort on our

In making comparisons between the
motor truck and the horse, we are in.
clined to place motor truck transporta-

transportation, totally ignoring the mo.

entirely untitled. When considered in
this broaderscope and the motor truck
is given full credit for all its advan-

aspect as the comparison between the
efficiency of horse car and a modern
trolley car; in other words, the motor
truck belongs to a new era. 1t is the
result of the demands of modern bust

DON'T WASH YOUR
HAIR WITH SOAP

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
. shampoos contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. YOU can get
this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about tea

Washington, d. C. - Treasury Off

view of the action of the allies in put
ting cotton on the contraband list, he
would, if it became necessary, deposit
$40, 600, 900 or more in gold in the
Fe6eral Reserve banks at Atlanta,

of enabling the reserve banks to re-
discount loans on cotton secured by

The gold would be deposited tempo
rarily, at least, without interest

Il was explained that if it appeared

deresits woud be made directly with
National banks agreeing to lend the
money on cotton at rate not to ex-
ceed six per cent.
