II cool. Many Of the best models
show coats with pleated backs and half
belts All the boys will vie with belt
ed Earls nowadays, for the belted coat
is quite the thing. Not only in the
summer silk models but on coats of
serge and light weight tweed. The
belted coats Of navy serge will be
quite smart for country and outing
wear with trousers of striped white
flannel and will cause many female
heart to surge with admiration. But
after all before, below and above ev-
erything, the silks the thing.
Silk shirts Of heavy tub silk, strip
ed and designed in the newest yellow,
orchid, green and porcelain blue shad-
es are very smart, worn with the soft
collars of plain or corded white silk.
Among the newest silken scarfs those
Of small patterned foulard and pastel
tinted silk crepe are numbered first
in favor. Chastely pure and white are
the chosen socks of silk that will a.
dorm the too oft clayey feet of our
masculine idols. The white silk sock
show on the best foot forward in eth
er work or play. In other words it
will be worn to meet both business
and social ends. although for very
dressy occasions a faat black clock
keeps it more up with festal times. A
very smart imported model even goes
SO far as to show three black clocks,
one on each side and one right up the
center Of the instep. Needless to say,
this pair is decidedly striking. Plenty
of silk will be on manly hand also for
the silk glove, pearl grsy or chamois
colored, stitched in black, will be much
worn as well as the glace kid gloves
that have been made to wash as beau
tifully as the long worn chamoisette
ones. Verify it seems to portend a
busy season indeed for the silk worm
and the laundress. Everything being
silk and washable, Sylvester may al
most safely take his tub attired in full
silken regalia. Anyway, there will be
as little good excuse for soiled mascu-
line garments this summer as for soil
cd masculin regulations.

GHOSTS? NO!
Wind IN A
Chimney
None of these three Believe in Ghosts
Not After They Found Out Where
the Noise Came From.

From Mondays Daily.
Do you believe in ghosts? Three
men ofthis city, almost believed in
ghosts this morning
Over in a justice court on the west
side, the judge, lawyer and a news
paper man were deciding the outcome
of the European war when 8 strange
tapping was heard, apparently coming
from the inside of the big steel filing
cabinet in the court room.
The three men looked at each 9TH
er and each, in the same breath, asked
the question, what was that?.
Everything was quiet again and the
discussion was resumed again-the
tapping occurred again. The three
men rose to their feet and all started
for the filing cabinet. 1t couldn't be
anyone in the cabinet, the door was
closed and the combination was on.
More war discussion, more tapping
Judge getting nervous, lawyer goes
to window ready to jump into river.
Newspaper man says he has wasted
enough time, there but before going
takes one last look at the part of the
Office where the noise comes from. A
Chimney passes through the rooms
and the wall paper has been put on o.,
yer an opening in the chimney. The
wind causes the paper to give back
and forth making tapping sound.
Great discovery-nerves soothed-the
judge hands out cigars. No one pres
ent believed in ghosts anyway.

GREAT ACTRESS
At THE PALACE
THEATRE

"Billie" Burke, the great American
star, win be seen in the 100000 Tri-
angle production peggy" regarded as
the motion picture scoop of the season.
An idea Of the lavishness of this
production may be gained from the
fact that $4,000 was expended on one
street scene alone.
The scenes depicting the life Of
Miss Burke as a member of the "four
hundred" entertaining a week end par
ty at her country place in New York,
are very realistic.

Assembly grounds this year. The
Assembly each year grows more pop

entertainment and instruction, and
each year the crowds which attend
exceed in size those of previous years.
This season an unusually attractive
program was presented. In addition,
the grounds were in splendid shape,
and everyone had plenty of healthy
amusement. The swimming pool
came in for a great deal of use es-
pecially.
Numbers of Poplar Bluff people at
tended the Assembly this year. Many
of these have summer cottages there.
The majority returned Sunday night
and Monday, ONE making the trip
from Arcadia Heights in automobiles.
Everyone at the Assembly this year
had a splendid time.
During the Assembly the following
officers for the coming year were Sc
lected: President, w. W.. Martin;
first vice president, J. D. Evans; Sec
ond vice president, @. B. Miller; third
vice president, F. Alternately; treas
urer, W. j. Smitty; corresponding
secretary, G. r. johnson; recording
secretary, Pearl Winters.
