and got a good nights rest. We
spent nearly half the twenty-fourth
looking for a location. We found
plenty of rooms to rent but none
to rent by the month. They all
wanted to rent for the season of five
or six months, but in our rounds We
found we could go to the Gulf Of
Mexico for fifty cents the round trip,
so we took the car to Gulfport, dis
tance of ten miles. There we took
boat for Passagrill Island, a thirty
minutes run across a beautiful lake
to the island which is narrow strip
Of land between the gulf and the
lake. We spent some time there
walking on the beach, watching the
waves and picking up shells. We
got back to our hotel in time to go
to the restaurant for supper. Next
morning we took boat for a two
hours run across the bay to Tampa,
, there we spent about one hour and
took the cars for Kissimmee. This
is very nice place with forty-five
hundred inhabitants.
We had lively time here last
week. The State encampment Of the
G. A. r., the Woman's Relief Corps
and the G, A. r. women all met here
for a two days meeting. There was
the greatest display of patriotism /
have seen for long time. We had a
band Of old men from st. Cloud that
gave us music like they did in the
sixties.
Well, ! guess I had better quit as
this feeble effort at newspaper writ
ing will get too long. However,
will say we are having fine weather
here now, and plenty of vegetables
of all kinds. Hoping to see this in
your paper and wishing you success,

Hartford firm and is composed OF
Rowan Holhrook, II. Il. Holbrook
and w. II. Parks The Estes Propel-
ef was invented by II. ID. Estes local
man, who sold his interest in the
wheel 10 the company. The propeller
is made of steel instead of brOnz and
the flutes may be adjusted TO con-
form to the power of the engine.
Thorough tests of the propeller have
proven that ii will develop more
speed with less strain and less fuel
than the one piece wheel. One or
two boats on Rough river have de-
vcloped nearly two miles more
speed per hour than the bronz wheel.
Capt. Oversreet, supervisor of
Green River locks for the Govern
ment. has ordered an Estes Propeller
and will give ii thorough test.
Other orders are being received daily
and inquiries come from various
parts OF the United States and Can
ada frequently, Offers are also be-
ing made to buy the patent rights
but the Holbrook-Pa company are
not anxious to sell as they see a
bright future for the propeller.

There are short full sleeves of the
net, with ruching of frayed taffeta
at the top of the hem, making n pretty
decoration. The sleeves are set tn the
bodice with band of lace insertion.
The taffeta overbodice, which Is
merely a very wide girdle, is adorned
with little sprays of embroidery.
Aside from this almost babyish decora-
tion. the frocz is allowed two frivolous
touches. One of them is bit of net
drapery at one side. and the other Is
a tiny bouquet suspended by baby rib
bon from the bodice. OF course they
have no excuse for being-eXce2t that
eyes were made for seeing.
ANY of the sheer cotton dress goods,
as voile or organdy, might be used to
make the skirt, and worn over n petit
coat of plain taffeta, for a frock of this
kind But it is best to be perfect
copyist of a model of such excellence,
than to risk experimenting.
The Colorado statesman., 1917-01-27

The pretty frock above is so simple
and so expressive, that youth could not
find anything better suited to herself,
If she searched for days in the places
where party frocks grow. This little
gown possesses style-the intangible
element that we all adore. Some
people achieve 1t and others do not,
and therein lies all the difference be-
tween success and lack of it in dress.
There is nothing much to tell about
this model except that the skirt is of
light-colored taffeta daintily cross
barred in other light colors. 1t is as
olnin and straight as can be and is
finished with hem beaded by single
narrow tuck. The tuck helps to give
the skirt the right "set" about the bot
tom. 1t is gathered to narrow belt
md Joined to a bodice of net and plain
taffeta. The underbodice of net is
gathered at the shoulders and has
round neck finished with tiny hem.

1t is rather late in the season to con-
slider buying furs, but for that very
reason 1t is good time to buy. Mer-
chants sometimes find themselves with
a few sets of really good furs left over
after the holidays and are willing to
sacrifice q little on them rather than
carry them over to another year.
Changes in styles may hurt their sale
for the merchant, no matter how valu-
able the skins. But changes In styles
need not worry the woman who owns
good furs, for they are among the
things that need not bow to fashions
whims.
A neckpiece and muff like those
shown in the picture are not likely to
be ever out of style. If tails and heads
and paws disappear in the sets for the
new season, it is no trouble to take
them off and put them away until fash
ionscalls for them again. A plain muff
of moderate size is always good style,
and in scarfs style is as much mat
ter of adjustment as shape. plain
scarf can be adjusted and worn in ac-
cordance with the mode. The set
shown in the picture is of fox fur dyed
black and tipped with white.
Fox is very popular fur and the
rarest pelts are extravagantly high
priced. some of them bringing upwards

ONLY MOBILES AND PEASANTS
Russia Country Where There Is No
Middle Glass, as in the Rest
of Europe.

Contrary to the laws existing in Eng
land and Sweden, in Russia when a
lady belonging to titled family mar
ries a Russian gentleman without
title she takes her husbands name en-
tirely, and the only right left to her of
her former title is to write on her
visiting cards and official papers, Mrs.
So-andSo, born Princess, Countess or
Baroness So-and-So." Her children are
called by their fathers name. There
are only few exceptions to this rule,
according to London Tit-Bits.
In Russia no middle class or gentry
are known. There are only mobiles and
peasants. The czar, however, grants
sometimes for special merit the right
to be styled nobleman, and also for
the same reason the titles of count and
baron, and occasionally that of prince.
All those merchants who have kept
firms flourishlng for a hundred years
have the right to receive the title of
baron. This law was made by Peter
the Great over 200 years ago, but the
merchants very seldom accept this Ger
man title and generally decline the
privilege.
In former days when the peasants
were still slaves they had no family
names, but were called by their faith
er's Christian name. Peters son was
calledsson of Peter-in Russian Petrov.
So also Smlrnov-Simon's son Ivanov
-Ivan's (John) son; and so on. When
slavery was abolished and the eman-
cipation proclaimed by the Emperor
Alexander II, they all kept these
names. Since then many of them
have received the right to belong to
the class of mobiles.
The Russian clergy, belonging to the
class of peasants, for it very seldom
happens that mobiles become priests,
have special family names. Their
names mean always a feast day, or
precious stone, or something connected
with the church. In former days the
clergy was class apart, and son Of
a clergyman was bound to be a clergy
man, and when they first entered the
church they chose a name for them
selves.
