'The children are growing up,' he re- marked casually, "and we've got to real- ize it, that's all."
 And in that sentence he summed up the whole situation; whether we ourselves are growing older makes little differences If we but realize that the little children around us are growing up with us.
 There is, however, no doubt that in spite of the way time has of flying and of the apparently miraculous way chill dren have of growing up, youth is much more prolonged stage of life now than it used to be.

 So many of our readers wish to know what to do with evening gowns or dressy frocks of crepe dechine, taffeta or charmeuse which are too narrow to be in fashion and too good to throw away. Any woman who invests in ar expensive dress of this kind naturally wants to get the wear' out of it.
 I have prepared two sketches to show you two ways of disposing or such problem. Every woman dearly loves a becoming negligee, but those of silk and chiffon elaborately trimmed with lace are quite expensive
 Many women, even if they have the money to spend feel 1t would be ex travagant to put in into the modern butterfly negligee which has burst the chrysalis of the old-time wrapper Yet the luxury of lounging or receiv ing intimate callers in fluffy. frilly, silken, soft negligee is something which possesses charm all it's own.
 A LOVELY NEGLIGEE
 This negligee was made from an evening dress of pink crepe de chine The taffeta was cut off around the bust and shoulders in the fashion of q camisole. A piece of lace was set in across the front to form a little yoke Two straps of ribbon should extend over the shoulders to support the waist A remnant of flesh colored chiffon cloth supplied the kimono-like tunic. which gives all the individuality and charm to this garment. The waist is cut from a kimono pattern. The fullness around the bust is held in slightly. The skirt of the tunic Is cut separately from straight lengths of the material. It is joined to the waist by stitching and held together by a bit of salloon. A narrow ribbon of French blue end ing in a fly-away bow in. the front covers this joining and provides a

charming touch of color. A tiny bunch of flowers in pink aond blue is set on the waist just below the little lace yoke Another bunch of flowers on each sleeve helps out the scheme of dainti- ness which marks the truly feminine, truly exquisite woman. A frill of chif- fon cloth, picot edged. finishes the sleeves. while a turnover collar made from inexpensive shadow lace falls softly around the neck. A wide band Of insertion to match finishes the tunic around the bottom
 THIS GARMENT EASY TO MAKE
 Almost any woman who knows how to sew at all could evolve this negligee as l have described She needs only ki- mono-sleeve shirt waist pattern for a guide. This should be turned away on either side of the front and the rest is plain sailing. The little cap is made of odd bits of lace, insertion and edging, supplemented by cotton net. The head portion is cult in the form of a large cir cle. Two pieces of narrow lace insertion are set on. running at right angles to each other. This divides the circle into four parts. Gather around the edge of the circle, and sew to band of insertion or ribbon the size of your head. Finish the cap with a ruffle of soft lace. The little flowers are set on the top after it is all finished.
 I hope some of my readers will write and tell me they have made such bou- doir cap and negligee.
 AN EVENING DRESS OF PINK
 AND BLUE
 In case you do not want to turn your narrow-s -skirted dress into a negligee, I have in the other sketch suggested way of changing it into an evening gown, which carries all the marks of style. We will begin with the narrow skirt. Mod ern dancing requires freedom of width in the skirt. This is obtained by siash- ing the bottom of the skirt into Wall of-Troy" scalIops. These scailops are bound with narrow fold of French blue taffeta. two-ruffled panier is made of widths of French blue taffeta,, the lower ruffle being fuller and distened with featherbone under a deep ruffled quillng, where it meets the upper ruffle. This oversldrt reaches all the way around the back. It is opened only in front, except ing the slash for the placket. A wide girdle of taffeta cut the bias forms the bodice. It is stretched around the body and fastens in front under a pink rose. Sleeves of white net and shoulder straps of small pink roses tied with CO., quettish bows of blue taffeta, picot edged to form ribbon, complete the waist of a lyery attractive little gown.
 This evolution is simple and may be accomplished with small expense. If you

Initiative

The world bestows its big
prizes, both in money and honor,
for but one thing. And that is
Initiative. What is initiative?
III tell you. 1t is doing the
right thing without being told.
But next to doing the right
thing without being told, is to do
it when you are told but once.
Next there are some people who
never do a thing until they are
told twice: such as these get no
honors and small pay. Then
there are those who do the right
thing when necessity kicks them
from behind, and these get in
difference instead of honor, and
little of anything as pay. This
kind usually are found setting
around on a bench, whiting,
and cussing hard times. And,
then still lower down the scale,
we have the fellow who will not
do the right thing at all, even If
you go right along with him and
show him how, and stay with
him until he does it. He is al
ways out of a job, and receives
the contempt which he justly de-
serves, from the man who tries
to do right, even if he fails.
And unless he happens to have a
rich papa which destiny patient
ly waits for. He is an absolute
farce, and he is not even coun-
tenanced by the most ordinary
fellow, he is scoffed at, and cal
ed a dub. If a man tries to earn
a living at even a low price for
the labor of his hands. he is
worthy of the unbounded conf
dence of all mankind, if he is a
disgruntled loafer one who "cuss-
es" the fellow who has worked
hard to make and save a living,
he does not deserve anything,
and ought to be passed up as a
man for whom you have no use
at all. Which class do you be-
long to?

Another Day of Reckon
ing

The United States Treasury
faces a deficit of over 500, 000,-
600. The party responsible for
that deficit must either meet the
situation or surrender the reins
of power.
In other words, the American
people demand that a political
party either make good or give up.
The handwriting on the wall
was revealed recently by Repre-
sentative Joseph w. Fordney of
Michigan in a discussion of the
Democratic tariff and revenue
policies before the House. He
showed that the democratic par
ty has failed to make good.
The Treasury balance is near
ly $1O0, 600, 600 less than it was
when the Republicans were in
power, said Mr.. Fordney. The
war in Europe is the EXCUSE,
but it is not the CAUSE for the
deficit. Without that war the
Democratic party would have
been compelled to admit ere this
that their tariff law is a complete
failure.
Comparing nine months from
March to November, 1915, with
the corresponding nine months
from March to November, 1913,
imports showed less gain of
$72, 716,0 900. Customs receipts
that can be attributed to the
war in Europe is S., $40, 600 per
month, and the tax, so-called, is
producing Sc, 800, 600 per month,
or about 81, 300, 600 per month
more than the loss in customs re-
ceipts.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the war tax is more than making
up for the loss in customs receipts
the balance in the general fund
declared $75, 6O9, 1886 from July
81, 1914, to July 81, 1915. On
July 81, 1914, the balance was
SLAB, 776, 800 and one year later
it was down to 500, l73, 900.
'The Underwood law started
out with a good balance in the
Treasury. That is not an argu-
ment in favor of the Underwood
law. Credit for that balance be-
longs to the preceding Republi-
can tariff law. The real question
is, what balance will you have at
the end of the operation of the
Underwood law.

They have no use for an idle boy.
He is, too apt to make an idle

represent an engine room in a

it is with the home; no matter
how nice the parlors are furn-

the home will have to suffer the
consequences.

We call your attention to the
article in this issue, written by
Mrs. Hatton. How many men
and women, today, would give
all they have to go back to the
days when they went to the old
time spring that bubbles up as
clear and sparkling as that which
John saw in his vision on the Isle
of Patmus, and once more take
down the old time gourd from
the stub of a limb of the old
shade tree, where it was always
to be found, and reach down and
dip from this fountain and take
another drink? Think for a mo.
ment, when you were a little
curly headed boy, chasing the
humble bee across the meadow
or throwing at a hornets nest
and getting warm you retired to
the cool shade where this same
spring bubbles up. Take a day
dream and let these fond recol-
lections pass before you.

City to Improve Streets

Last monday night the City
Council made arrangements for a
large quantity of limestone bal
last to improve and repair the
streets, and work will soon begin.
The City Dads are trying to
cut down all expense that it is
possible for them to do, and in
this way will save enough to re-
pair all the streets, and build
some new ones that are badly
needed. Last year they made
some new streets, this year they
will do more. Ithas been report
ed that there is bad hole near
the depot, on Depot street, we
have not seen Mayor Wilson, yet
to ask him any questions about
it, but, we will bet a red necktie,
that as soon as he sees it he will
at once have said mudhole fixed,
he is wide awake, as well as the
rest of the board of councilmen,
and they IRE not going to let a
little mudhole get to be an i'm
passible pond in the middle of
the street. Another thing that
the council has done, is to give to
the public, through Chief of
Police, Brit Catron. a notice that
hereafter those who run and OPP
crate automobiles must conform
to the provisions of the State
laws, as laid down in the general
statute of Kentucky, and that
none will be excused. Now let
every one get busy, have your
licence tags displayed as the law
provides, keep your lights trimed
and burning both side lights,
and tail lights, keep on the right
hand side of the street. or ROAD,
give the proper signals at cross
ings and corners, and remember
that the speed limit is not to ex-
coed sixteen miles per hour. at
any time. And remember that
when you hear fire alarm, that
the fire hose Auto has the right
of-way over all other vehicles,
and that the limit does not apply
to them. So take due notice and
be governed as outlined above.
You cannot drive an Automobile
unless you are the bonified owner
or hold a license to operate a ma
chine, and remember that even
if you own a machine, that does
not give you the right to run or
operate another machine that is
not your own. This is not a bad
law, it is a good one, it is for the
protection of all, lis a safeguard
to person and property. So do
Mountain advocate., 1916-01-28

not get into trouble, but keep
within the confines of the law
and there will be no bar to your
getting along all right with every
one.
