NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-If there
should be a shortage in the Georgettc
crepe output goodness knows what
would ever become OF us. Not only
are most all our day clothes made oi

night clothes as well. SO we cOuldn' t

The chances are we'd take the only
course lett to us and go daffy.
However, no such dire calamity
presages at the moment Of going to
press. The GeOrgette crepe industry
tlourishes: so likewise does the dia-
phancous nightgown fashioned OF
this lar from opaque material.
The Georgettc crepe mighty IS
truly. thing Of beauty but hardly a
Joy forever as it scarcely has the last
ing qualities OF a nainsOok or even a
crepe de chine gown.
Some cf the most exquisite models
are the most simple, relying on the
perfection OF the material ior their
sole charm. One Empire model OF
flesh tinted Georgettc is sleeveless
and is bordercd around the neck and
the armholcs with heading OF fine
footing. \ wide band OF flesh satin
ribbon run under the footing makes
the high waistlne.

toned model is formed of tiny pale

Many Cars Pass
Thro Town Today

This has been lively day for auto
tourists in Carson, no less than forty
cars having arrived and departed
The cars are of all kinds and descrip-
ton, from the small Ford to the high
power Marmon car and most OF them
loaded with camping outfits.
The tourists, more than ever before,
are living out in the open and adopt
ing the simple life plan. Travel has
been exceptionally heavy through
Carson the last three days and it is
safe to say that the auto travel is
greater this year than it was last, the
exposition year in San Francisco
Those tourists who stop over night
in Carson are we'll pleased with the
camping grounds and the many cour-
teses that are extended to them by
local people. Each year the auto
travel is going to increase and it be-
hoovcs the citizens Of Carson to
make larger and better preparations
for taking care of these people next
year.

is possible, however, that the Mime
sofa will not be swollen by the Blue
Earth to the extent that it was in
early years, for the waters of the lat
ter stream are now held in leash by

theory that the high stage of water

Florence Macbeth Arrives in Mime.

apolis. ~
Minneapolis Tribune Florence
Macbeth, the little Mankato girl who
has come to the front in grand opera,
is in Minneapolis. In a black silk
gown and quaint old lace collar fast
ened with a large cameo pin, she
looked very demure yesterday.
Miss Macbeth is fond of ladybugs,
pansies and black kittens. She con-
siders that ladybugs are announcers
of good news in her life, although she
declares she is not superstitious.
Before every big event and every
great happiness in my life I have seen
a ladybug close to me. That is true,
but I am not superstitious," she as
serted. af,
This grand opera artist is very fond
of animals. One of her first pets was
a wild fox, which her father bought
from a trapper for dollar to save its
life. 1t was very wild at first, but
Miss Macbeth made friends with it
and after while taught it to play and
do tricks like dog.
That was when she was girl in
Mankato. She has trouble often
nowadays keeping stray dogs and
cats from following her around.
Il have such sympathy for them. l
suppose it is my fault they come with
me- she said.
Miss Macbeth is to sing here Mon
day night.
