Again the Open Sleeve.

in a graceful, modified manner.
Again the Open Sleeve.
Another feature which the French
designers evidently intended to keep in
fashion is the sleeve which is cut after
the fashion OF those worn in China, but
which is confined by narrow wrist
band in order to keep it from slipping
back toward the shoulder when the arm
is lifted When this Mandarin sleeve
was first put into the fashions, the line
Of II was very much liked. but women
found that any movement Of the arm
threw the sleeve backward over the el-
bow sometimes mp to the shoulder, dis
closing the bare arm. Also, the wide
aperture at the hem called for long
gloves wrinkled to the elbow, and this
was an expense and nuisance.
Therefore, the drcssmakers invented
the bracelet which held the under part
of the sleeve snugy down to the wrist
and allowed the straight, outward
swing from the arm to take its own
way undisturbed
This bracele, has developed into afl
sorts OF fantastic cuffs, and the dress
makers are delighted over the chance
of novelty which this Chinese sleeve,
therefore, offers.
The gown in the sketch shows the
newest chemisc frock which embod,rs
the features that will probably count
for a good deal in the autumn fashions
Look at II in detail.
The material Is gabardine IN canard
blue. The looping is across the back
and gives the effect OF being cross
between Vatican pleat and limp
hustle II extends far enough toward
the sides to form an outstanding
background for the from, Of the frotk.
The wide hem is turned up at the foot
OF the skirt, which is only five feet
wide. The bodice of this irock is quite
slim, and the front line is broken by
an irregular line OF stitching at the top
ot the skirt, which is run up above
the waist line and cut into battlements.
The belt falls well below the waist in
front and is fastened over with two
buttons The collar is one OF the
Apache cravats that has become a ,mar,
feature Of the new costumery and must
not be overlooked

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

u
Tony Seka, one Of the Hungarians
from Flat River who was charged
with highway robbery, attempted to
commit suicide in the county Jail
Tuesday, about $3.50 o'clock by jump
ing off the top of a cell onto his head
on the floor. He was unconscious for
nearly two hours after his attempted
suicide, until about 5 o'clock.
Z Upon examination by DR.. Robinson
no fracture Of the skull was found,
but two soft spots on each side of his
head were the only injuh NJ notice
able. This testifes to the ! that
Tony is rather "solid-headed.''
There is no reason evident why he
should attempt such rash act. He
had been acting rather strangely for
several days before, and it is possible
that he was temporarily insane at
the time
He is one of the four who broke jail
recently and who was captured the
next day.

MISSION FESTIVAL SUNDAY

The annual mission festival of st.
PauPs Lutheran congregation will be

Flat River, Bismarck, Pilot Knob and
other points will participate in this
celebration. Three services will be
held. In the morning at 1920, Ger
man services will be held; the Rev.
C. F. Drewes, of st. Louis, will preach
the sermon. Rev. Drewes is the Field

an illustrated lecture in English, show
ing the mission field among the colored
people of North Carolina.
In the afternoon at 2:30, services
will be held in English, and the Rev.
J. Frenz, of Festus, will occupy the
pulpit. There will be special sing
ing by the children of the day school.
The church choir will render spe-
cial music in the morning and evening
services. The collections lifted in the
services are for the benefit of mission
airy work. During 1916 the Synod
with which the local Lutheran congre-
cation is affiliated, raised S8S9,505.91
part of this money is raised at the
annual mission festivals celebrated by
almost every congregation of the Sy-
nod.
