s. I. A. Notes

Owing to the extremely cold weather the first meeting of the s. I. A. for the year 1916 was not as well attended as usual. However the enthusiasm of those present in a measure made up for the absence of the absence of the usual quota.
 Preliminary plans were made for a Valentine party to be given at the home of Mrs. Ira Woodfin on Monday, February 14th.
 All members of the society and others interested in the school are earnestly requested to attend the next meeting of the s. l. A. which will be held at the High School building on Fri day, January 18th, at 2::30 p. m. Further plans relating to the party will be discussed at that time, also other subjects of gen. eral interest.

What Brinkley Business
 Men Are Thinking About

Henry Wolf = T think it would, be a splendid idea if the farmers and land owners of this end of the county would get together and arrange to sell off all their cotton seed and buy new High grade seed for planting this year. We need to raise better grade of cotton around Brink ley"
 E. A. Skillern, the Richland township farmer: if the Brink ley people would push that gravel road proposition and build that kind of a road to the Bayou, it would mean more to Brinkley than anything else that could happen.
 l.. K. Brown; "Yes sir, Pm in favor of bringing that proposed road act to a head and building the gravel roads out of Brinkley | in every direction. It has to be done and the sooner we do it the better it will be for everybody. :"

There was certainly no reason to doubt
her extreme dislike of the gentleman
who was at that moment waiting be-

Ethel's hand was on the doorknob;
but she hesitated long enough TO say
to Georgy:

amuse him-theres a good girlw
"Not Ir' Miss Georgy declared. "If
he wants to be amused he can read

off her perch on the chair-arm and
started for the door through which
Brewster had disappeared.

She knew that Georgy and Mr.. Street

frain from trying to smooth the way
for her guest.
"Oh, I'll be polite enough-in my
own way" Georgy replied grimly.
She was well aware that she was an
enfant terrible; and she often took a
mischievous delight in shocking people
by some unconventionality.
Ethel Willoughby had already closed
her boudoir door behind her; but
Georgy had not yet reached the hall
before Brewster returned to usher in
the caller, who was close upon his
heels.
Henry Streetman, handsome we'll

There are negligees-and negligees
made of dainty and colorful fabrics,
and the utmost of luxury is expressed
in some of them. Those Of the rich
est materials are frankly extrava-
gances, not made for use but for the
sole purpose of looking pretty-which
is use enough. These picturesque
garments are not intended for the light
of day. except as 1t is screened and
softened In the boudoir. They presup-
pose the possession of other more
practical things for house wear.
One of these fascinating frivolities
is shown in the illustration. Cloth-of-
silver and rose chiffon are combined in
making it, to their mutual advantage.
A long slip, of the silver tissue, is
yelled with a full straight-hanging
sleeveless coat of the chiffon having
its edges bound with the silver cloth.
For no particular reason, unless it is
by way of suggesting luxury, bit of
dark fur finishes the neck across the
back. A full-blown rose of silk is very
much at home posed at the base of the
V-shaped opening at the front, where
it repeats in it's petals the sheen and
color about 1t.
At the back of the coat belt of sill
yer lace confines the fullness of the
chiffon In plaits, and serves another

Little separate capes and pelerines,
to be worn with light summer frocks,
are essentially classy affairs INDUCED
in by comparatively few women. Along
with saddlebag pockets and the hoped
gown, they are for those who are al
ways looking for something new. The
cape, as part of the street dress or
coat, is more widely accepted, and in
any case there is no smarter accessory
of dress.
To think of capes is to think of silk,
but the capes of today bring many 9TH
er materials to mind as well. Taffeta
stands at the head as a favOrite in the
list of available fabrics, which includes
linen, alpaca, crepe, Organdie, and
satin. Changeable taffetas trimmed
with ruchings of the silk or with ruch-
ings of black mousseline eliminate any
chance of failure if one starts out to
make something creditable in a little
cape.
A pin-stripe taffeta in two shades
of blue serves for the very pretty mod
ell that is shown in the illustration. In
size, this cape takes a middle course
between those that reach almost to the
elbows (they are rare) and brief af-

purpose in weighing it. The binding
of silver cloth makes itself useful In
the same way.
Rose chiffon and silver lace make
the pretty cap to be worn with this
aristocrat among negligees. 1t Is fin
ished with many long loops of baby
velvet ribbon. Although they are not
in evidence. the chances are that moth
ing more substantial than cloth-of-sil-
yer slippers and rose-colored silk hose
answered the question of footwear, to
correspond with the cap and gown.
Negligees that are more lasting. in
charm as well as In material, are made
of sheer white fabrics and worn over
white or pale-colored slips of thin soft
silk. Fine narrow laces and hand en-
broidery enrich them with decorations
in keeping with the refinement of the
materials used.
Among new models quite a number
have coat effects of wide shadow lace
or fine net made up with satin rib
bons in all the light colors. Powered
wolfe is a perfect material for making
negligees, and vies with much more
costly fabrics In effectiveness.

fairs that barely hold out to the point
of the shoulder. These two extremes
are met with on coats. The cape pic
tured is scallOped and hemmed and
entirely yelled with black silk NOUS
seine. 1t is made with a high fiaring
collar and all it's edges are finished
with a ruching of mousseline gathered
along the middle into scant fullness.
Rather wide black taffeta ribbon
makes a long tie for finishing the
neck. 1t is laid in folds and tackled
down about the neck opening, with
the free ends just long enough to knot
easily. 1t is a support and a finish for
the cape.
Parasols and capes to match are
made for those outdoor affairs of sum-
mertime that call for formal dress.
Both are covered with a mass of full
ruchings made of narrow strips of silk
frayed at the edges. Inspirations for
shoulder capes are to be looked for in
the fashions of the past, because 1t is
the quaint, old-fashioned flavor that
lends charm to the capes of today.
