Evening gowns and wraps are once
more the center Of attraction for the So
sial seasnon is at hand and all who take
part in the gaieties of dances and thea
tire parties that brighten the autumn and
winter, are starting their preparations
for esese social events.
The materials and trimmings for
evening wear are very rich this season
and the gowns are accordingly most
elaborate and luxurious; seemingly,
there is no limit to the extravaganza
of many of them. In materials, the
preference seems to be given to chif
fon velvet, and the soft richness of this
material is especially adapted to devel
oping the sumptuous gowns that WON
en- of fashion demand. Next in i'm
portance come the brocaded silks and
satins and the gold and silver laces and
nets. Quantities of these gold, silver

If They Join the United States
Army to Go Up High
There in Rank.

Sergeant Alexander W. johnson, 10.
cal United States army recruiting of.
ticer in charge of the station in the
Irwin building. discusses as follows
the many advantages offered by the
/ increase in the army:
Most civilians have but hazy ideas
of the true Significance OF President
Wilson's recent order to increase the
United States army to war strength.
which requires approximately $4,000
men additional. Those familiar with
military affairs know that this does
not mean gathering OF men togeth-
er, but that after preliminary train
ing. these men will be organized into
companies, battalions and regiments
and that they must be provided with
food. clothing, quarters, medical at
tendance, schools, etc.
Now. who are going to do this
work? Who are to officer these COM
panies and battalions and regiments?
Who are to be appointed regimental
officers? Who are to teach the
schools? Who are to drive the motor
trucks? Who are to be the band
leaders? Who are to fill the thous-
and one well-paying positions created
by this order of the president?
The answer is plain. Out of the
$4,000 will be selected men of spec
ial ability along the lines required
and those showing ambition. adapta-
bllIty and proper spirit will be sent
to the various schools and trained to
do the necessary work, and one very
decided advantage for the last men
toned is that the same training Sc
cured at government expense, even
while pay and allowances remain the
same. which makes them useful in
the army. also fits them to secure bet
ter paying positions in civil life than
they were able to fill before.
On the other hand, il young
man prefers to continue his military
life. and he has the necessary quail
locations. there is absolutely no rea-
son why he should not try to obtain
commission as an officer.
Never before in the history of our
army has there been so much oppor-
tunity for young men. There being
many new vacancies, promotions will
be rapid. Whereas 1t used to take
years for a man to work up to the
high-salaried places. men now COM
ing in will step almost Immediately
into good borths. Men with less than
one years service will be appointed
sergeant-major, first sergeants, OBJ
servers, plotters. school teachers,
plumbers, clerks. cooks, etc.
Why not take advantage Of this
present condition and begin at once
to improve, mentally. morally and
physically. Physically through the
gymnaslums, sports, calisthenics, au-
thorized by the regulations; morally
through association with class of
men recognized as above the average
by those competent to Judge, and
mentally through the practical edu-
cation AFFORDED by the many schools
maintained by the government for the
instruction OF enlisted men.
In fewer words, it's case Of fifty
fifty. You give the government so
much OF your time and ability. in re-
turn YOU receive not only the adyant-
ages enumerated above. but many
more. too numerous to mention here.
Apply at the recruiting station,
United states army, Irwin building.

had caught in her eyes-made him
hasten after her. The kiss that day
was placed somewhere in the region
of her ear, and to the mans intense
surprise she said quite angrily:
Don't be silly, Arthur. It's perfect
ly ridiculous to kiss me every time
you leave the housed"
Professor Sherwood bit his lip at
the rebuff.
The next day he made no attempt
to the noon day kiss And then, per-
haps it was week later that some
thing, not his wifes touch, reused him
from sleep.
He could not place the sound exact
ly. Half in dreamland as he was. II
came to him as an echo from another
land And yet it was potent enough
to make him open his eyes wide and
listen all ears.
His wife moving around in the
kitchen was all that he heard. The
| sound was not repeated, and later in
| the stress of his school work the In
cident was forgotten.
The next day, curiously enough, that
very same sound awakened him. This
time he was sure It was part OF the
work-a-day world and not a dream. He
sat up on the couch and knit his
| brows in a net work of fine lines. For
a moment he CROPPED around in a maze,
trying to classify this very tangible
sound. For 1t was a sound that he
knew, recognized. but yet could not
place.
"Oh, You're awake!" was his wife IS
exclamation as she came in to call
him.
The day following circumstances
were similar That very same some
thing had reused him again. But this
time he jumped up quickly. And al
though he had not as yet interpreted
the sound In a word. he strobe swiftly
into the kitchen.
Mrs. Sherwood was daintily pilinf
, down the garden path. striding alons
like a college youth.
