THE LAST STRAW.

Women are willing to plant car
rots In their flower beds, scrape the
last crumb from their rolling pins,
knit through all their waking hours,
and patiently bear the dreams Of war
and carnage that invade their slum-
Der, but will they stand for this last
demand OF masculine authority?
Senator Kirby of Menard county,
Illinois. proclaims that high heels
cause more damnation than German
submarines. and therefore, deter
mined to correct this evil, the dough
~ senator has introduced a prohib-
tory bill for the consideration OF the
legislators in Springfield.
That august body rejected the pro
posal OF Governor Lowden TO revive
the woman's eight hour law few
days ago. perhaps in anticipation OF
this important measure to follow.

q. p. rIREENy TOURNAMENT.
VIII Be Held ut Ironwood on July
cath, 25th and s6th.

The Upper Peninsula Firemens'
tournament will be held at Ironwood
July 25th, Goth and 9th, and Judging
from reports throughout the upper
peninsula, there will be good atten-
dance and II is anticipated that the
tournament will be as successful as
any held in recent years. The war
naturally will have some effect on IL,
, but the members OF the Ironwood ar
rangement committee promises ex-
ceptional entertainment.
One of the questions to come be-
fore the convention will be whether
tlei upper peninsula association will
1S7iase itself with the lower PENN
sula organization. Many OF the fire
men are not In favor OF this move at
this time.
II the two organizations combine,
II will not necessarily mean that the
upper peninsula association will go
out OF existence. The principal idea

plan is to bring the firemen of the two
sections OF the state closer together
with relation to matters OF interest
to ALL
|, Inasmuch as the state fire mar
shals department has many actiyi-
ties affecting both the upper and the
lower peninsulas, 1t is thought that
by holding conventions in which rep
resentatives from both sections OF
the state would participate much
good could be accomplished. 1t Is
expected that there will be one or two
sula organization at Ironwood TO urge
a consolidation.

Lord Rrouah.m,. Dream.

Lord Brougham was one Of the most
stubborn believers In the common
sense" explanation OF ghostly appear
ances as dreams. At Edinburgh uni
versity he and an intimate friepd drew
up an agreement written with their
blood that whichever OF them died first
should appear TO the survivor. Years
passed; the friend was In India, and
Brougham had almost forgotten bis
existence Arriving late one night at
an inn in Sweden. Brougham had hot
bath and was going 10 get ont OF 1t
when he looked toward the chair on
which he had left his clothes and saw
his friend sitting on II Brougham
seems then TO have tainted. On get
ting home he received a letter announc-
ing that the other had died in India at
the very time. Yet this incident,
which most people would put down to
telepathy ut least, was dismissed by
Brougham as a mere dream and pure
coincidence.

OthUl OF the smart, simple uNesSSH
that are now in vogue! The model
above is developed in black satin
with white satin collar, and facings
OF white satin for the long pocket
extensions at the sides of the skirt.
The belt OF black satin is adjusted
separately over the casing on which
the dress Is drawn up at the waist
line. Although the lines OF dresses
have been absolutely straight, for
the most part, the bouffant effect at
the hips seems to be growing in inn
portance more and more. Some
times 1t is acquired by soft drapery
cleverly handled, and sometimes by
pocket extensions as in the model
shown here.
In the second sketch Is a morning
dress Of chambray with collar and
cuffs of white pique edged with hand
embroidered scallops. This is ano-
Their OF the simple slip-on dresses.
The skirt is pleated at the waistline
in sole, unstitched pleats In some
models the straight gathered skirt
is featured.
Very interesting in development
are some OF the tub frocks for gener-
al country use. There is quite a rage
for combining two materials such as
wolfe and Bingham, or organdy and
gingham. The most popular develop
ment Is waist OF white wolfe with
skirt OF plaid or striped bingham, and
collar and cuffs also of Bingham. The
appearance OF a separate waist and
skirt Is given but it is inreality q
one-piece dress developed in two ma
terials
To go with the gingham dresses that
everyone Is wearing this season the
very newest thing Is to have your
hat trimmed with Bingham to match
the costume, or you may even have
the hat made entirely OF Bingham
