Briqht Silver and TulIe.

What in the world did fashion do be-
fore someone thought Of silver ribbon
and tissue for gaslight wear? An en-
chanting dance frock just completed is
made of white tulle and silver ribbons
nothing else, if one excerpts a SIM
pie foundation slip of silver tissue
which CLEANS delicately through the
floating skirt of tulle. There are in
fact three skirts of tulle, and on the
second one is a wide silver ribbon, set
at the knee. The girdle is of similar
silver ribbon run across the chiffon
underbodices, below the drapery of
tulIe. At the front of the skirt,
about eight inches below the waistline,
is set a tab of silver ribbon fastened
to the tulle with rosettes of narrower
silver ribbon, and from the girdle de.
pend four tabs of ribbon likewise
trimmed with silvery rOsetteS. Can
you imagine the sparkle and drifting
whiteness of this lovely frock on a

INDIANS IN HIGH POSITION
Members of Parker Family Have
Proved Themselves Capable in
Places of Responsibility.

Foremost among the "red blOods"
are the ParkerS-father aud son.
They come of line Of distinguished
ancestors, of the Seneca tribe Of the
IroquoiS stock. Frederick e. Parker,
the father, is a nephew of Gen. Ell
Parker, Grants military secretary ana
the co-workers of Lewis II. Morgan. He
is man of fine presence and attain-
ments. A resident of White Plains,
N. Y. He has been a patent factor for
clean government and social reform
in his community. Mr.. Parker holds
the responsible position of statisticinh
in the department Of revenue OF the
New York Central railroad, having
charge Of all offices, including more
than thousand agents, between Chi
cago and New York.
The son, Arthur G. Parker, q bril-
liant young archeOlOgist, since his APP
pointment to the New York State mu-
scum, has practically created a new
archaeological museum. He is writer
of note, editor general of the American
Indian Magazine, a member Of the

wise there will be no peace except on
Germany's own terms. The, people are
prepared to suffer, much as they may
dislike the inconvenience to which the
wax has put them. This is particularly
true of states like Bavaria, where l

eff the Bavarians could be given

persuaded as they were at the begin
ming that their generals and their sol
diers cannot be defeated. Even Prus-

DAINTlNESS AWAY FROr1 HOr1E

contain alcohol to cleanse the skin
with. Pure alcohol may or may not
agree with tender skin, so that if it is
diluted with half rain water and half
alcohol no possible irritation can re-
suit. This liquid, when dabbed gently
over the skin with pads of absorbent
cotton while travelling will remove the
dust and prevent it from getting en-
bedded in the skin.
BenZOin is another necessary of the
travellers kit. This also is to be patted
into the skin, and may be poured,
few drops at a time, into the wash
basin of the train dressing room to
soften the water. The OdOr of tine
ture of benzOin is delightfully."- aromatic
and q dash of toilet water afterWard
makes the skin as fresh as a rose.
Good cold cream Of course is not
overlooked in the list, only it is taken
so much for granted that the other ar
ticles mentioned above are to be looked
on as it's successors. The cream should
be rubbed into the skin when milady
starts out on her journey, after the
pores of the skin have been cleansed
and opened. Then follows the benzOin
and toilet water treatment.
The last requisite is q bottle of pun
gent smelling salts for probable train
sickness. Everyone knows the nau-
seating sensation after an hour or two
on the train. If smelling salts are at
hand, the knowledge of their presence
is reassuring.

Excellent Reason Why Rose Shade
Never Seems to Lose Its
Popularity.

Green may be a good color for the
eyes.
Violet may be an esthetic color.
Yellow may be cheerful color.
But rose color is the most becoming
color for lampshade.
Fortunately, most people realize this
fact. At hotels and restaurants and
in private houses where the decora-
lions are planned to emphasize the
best in the persons who live among
them. rose colored lampshades are
much in evidence.
Lampshades always ought to be
MANNED with a view to the light they
cast. That is why the rose-colored
shade is the most becoming. For any
woman knows that her color CLOVIS
more under a rose light than under
anv other, that wrinkles are minimized
that skin is softened and that every
vestige of prettiness she possesses is
emphasized by this soft ,coler.

Dresses for Fall.

There is a great diversity in the
dress styles now shown, the Dry Goods
Economist says. In the Louis XIV
styles, which have adoption in the
higher class dresses, there is a tight
ening of the bodice and an increase in
the fullness in the skirt. In sharp con-
trast to this fashion are the Russian
blouse dresses and those which are cut
on straight lines with an elongated
waistline. Draperies and tunics ap-
pear in a wide range of effects Some
of the smartest draperies are of bout
FAINT character. A few princess gowns
are shown, many having broken lines
over the hips.

Gahan, twenty-five years old, and a
Prohibition lecturer. McGahan ar
rived here after a "hike" Of 10000
miles. The young hiker was plod-

Columbus, N. M, when he learned of
the raid on that town by Villa and
his bandits. He joined sheriff's posse
and detachment Of the state militia
scouting for Villa. He accompanied
the punitive force far into the Mexi-
can desert and later returned with
them. "a type Of bush growing on
the desert in Mexico" he says, "resem-

we had sighted the bandit Chief. Even
the sheriff shot at a bush which he
thought was Villa bandit" McGahan
wore out six pairs of shoes on his

LATEST ACCESSORIES UPON
WHICH COSTUME DEPENDS.
Collar and Face for Which 1t Is Chosen
Must Be Harmonious for Perfect
Effective Dainty Neck
wear Suggestions.

Skill in selecting accessories is often
the major asset of woman who ranks
as the best-dressed individual in her
own set.
Gloves. shoes, hat and neck dressing
must be thought out carefully and the
question Of furs is one that comes up
for consideration. The summer fur
vogue is stronger than it was year
ago, when it first received general
American recognition.
Last year natural animal scarfs pref
ty well dominated the summer fur
showing; but this season innumerable
smart novelties are displayed. Stole
scarfs lined with thin satin or chiffon,
little three-cornered wraps of fiat fur,
collarettes and all sorts of clever lit
tie capes are shown.
In regard to summer neckwear, it
must be noted that many periods con-
tribute, and a collar taken from the
era of Henry II, Byron, Oliver CrOm-
well or Victoria may be equally smart,
provided the collar and the face for
which it is chosen as framing blend
tremendously. Cape and tichu effects
are extremely good and sailor, cavalier
and Elton shapes are also favored.
Some tailored collars of pique or linen
have organdie cape collar, capes OF
net, batiste, etc., are thought highly OF
and are WORN with frocks of silk, wolfe
and other sheer summer fabrics. Crom-
well collars or organdie daintily en-
broidered are youthful and smart.
Fichu collars show best when made
of some very soft, thin fabric, such as
georgette crepe, crepe de chine, NOUS
seine de sole or chiffon, and collars
suggesting the Henry II period are
made of chin material and are boned
to keep chem erect and in shape.
The question of collars and many
other accessories of dress is limited
only by .he inclination of the individ-
ual to set brain and fingers to work on

Agricultural Extension
Work Tremendous
actor In Georgia
Forty Thousand People Are
Cooperating

J. PHIL CAMPBELL, Director Exten-
sion Service, Ga. ST. Col. Of Ayr
According to statistics, Georgia
leads all states in the Union in many
important phases of agricultural eX-
tension work. Georgia has the largest
enrolment in Boys Corn Clubs, the
largest number of farmers, farmers
wives, farm boys and girls organized
into agricultural work and the best pig
club results of any state.
The extension work of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture was. in
augurated in 1908, and has grown until
there are now Is field specialists, "a
district and county farm agents and
40 agents in home economics. These
and other agricultural workers at the
College of Agriculture comprise
force of 200 people working as unit
to carry out definite program of agri-
cultural improvement in Georgia.
The annual report of the Director
of Extension Service of the College of
! Agriculture has just been completed,
which reveals many interesting figures
as to the work done by this force dur
ing the year ending June 80, 1916.
The extension workers are the bear
ers of disable information taken from
the storehouse of agricultural knowl-
edge represented by the College of Ag-
riculture No more popular move
ment has been fostered by legislation
in recent years than this of carrying
out information to the farmers. A
schedule of appropriations proposed by
the Smith-Lever bill makes possible
sums of money with which the colos-
sal enterprise may be undertaken.
That Georgia is getting its moneys
worth in service rendered and wealth
and happiness created, can be judged
from the results which the reports
show.
10000 People Cooperating
The annual report of extension work
shows that 41,00O rural people of Geor-
gia were enrolled and had done def
mite work in advanced lines of agri-
culture during the year. OF this num-
Der farmers and farmers wives who are
enlisted as demonstrators in home eco
nomic work constitute 21,000, the re-
mainder being members of boys and
girls clubs.
