Auto Run a Failure

The proposed auto run to Winslow
last Sunday provided grevious dis
appointment to those in charge Of the
affair. 1t was expected that at least
fifty cars would be in the motorcade,
but only about five showed up that
morning to take the trip. The people
of Winslow were also very much dis
appointed as they had made great
preparations for the entertainment of
the crowd at the high school building
where the ladies had gone to the ex-
pense and trouble Of preparing re-
freshments in plenty for the visitors.
In any event, the Elks Of Flag
staff should show their appreciation
during the Winslow celebration and
turn out in body to repay them for
the hearty boost they gave the Flag
staff celebration.

The Weather and the
Proper Clothes for 1t

Pandora" had to write a half
umn on the weather last Sunday and
it looks as tho that would have to
engage little Of our attention this
week-but unfortunately there's
hardly enough of the right kind of
weather even so far to fill much space.
The rain was stayed until after the
Fourth but now we're ready for it and
apropos to this rainy season have you
seen any of the new rain outfits? The
fair weather styles are quite tame
beside them for now not only ducks
love to promenade in the rain but our
feminine sisters are anxious for sum-
mer showers.
These new raincoats are transpar-
ent one Of brilliant-hued oil silk that
look like isinglass and they are top
ped off with perky little SLOUGH hat
to match.
These desirable rainy day outfits
are as serviceable as they are good
looking and they come in vivid green,
mediterranean blue, amber, cerise,
purple and white as well as sober
shades of black and gray.
With these one carries the new
umbrella that has the same vivid col
orings and either a loop Of braided
leather for a handle to slip over the
wrist or stunning ivory ring for the
same purpose.
Truly we will want the rain to come
II we're prepared but for the less
fortunate we'll be content to merely
stand and let the show pass by.

attractive one and program OF
splendid character was well carried
out. DR.. Hambly presided and in
troduced Mrs. C. B. Wilson in vocal
number, Hay Making" So generous
was the applause that Mrs. Wilson
responded graciously with charming
selection "Violets." Next came a
short talk by DR.. Blome in behalf Of
the church members welcoming t.
new ones and briefly telling them
what the church might in measure
expect from them. A piano duet fol-
lowed-given by Mrs. Hanibly and
Mrs. Fay. Their splendid execution
was much appreciated and second
one was equally enjoyed.
A response to DR.. Blome's talk was
then given by one Of the new men,
bers-Mr. Walker. This was an earn
est expression Of gratitude for the
kindly feelings toward them and a
sincere hope that in the new church
home-comfort might be found.
The evening was then open to an
informal reception and while the
guests gathered around the punch
bowl a general good time was en-
joyed.
