owner of more silk shirts than a Chi
nese Mandarin, Bert Reed is supposed
to be getting ready to step out For
a long time he occupied in our town
an enviable place as one of the best
looking and best dressed eligibleS of
the place. He went off to Kansas City
to set up in a business which occasion
ally brings him back here for an eX-
elusive showing of mems styles. but he
has chosen his lady, so they say. from
the Kansas City assortment of good
looking women. We are told that the
one he chose is both beautiful and
amiable.
l notice that a woman of the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture has fig
ured it out that a farm woman can
dress on a little less than $50 a year,
and can get her clothes for $71.22 by
doing her own sewing. She is to do
this by wearing u good many of her
dresses two years, planning them a
wear in advance. choosing staple col
/ ors and putting the garments together
at odd times while she rests. The
recommendation sounds very plausl-
! BILE, and it is quite to be expected of
a city adviser of country women that
she will tell them that the new styles
in cut and color need not matter to
! them.

disable for two years, farm hat. life
! one year. and wooden cap replaced
