Centerville,F Feb. $50. p. Russell,
farmer. OF Pleasant township, met mis-
brother, ]. :. Russell, two weeks ago
for the first time in forty years. The
TWO men, o. P, aged 66, and J. s. aged
20. are now having one Of the greatest
visits they have ever known. After
this long separation they have long
history of forty years to tell each other
concerning their journeys thru the
busy world.
The family durisg the time OF the
war was broken up by the death OF the
father who was member OF the THIRD
Iowa cavalry and who died in the bar
racks at St. Lawrence. The two little
hnys III company with their distressed
mother came TO Cincinnati where they
began to struggle for the necessities OF
life. The two boys grew into young
manhood and by their work relieved
the family from the destitute sur
Youndings under which they had been
raised ]. S took up the trade Of car
pentry and for several years he prac-
ticed his trade at home. Gradually MS
duties took him 10 other towns and he
drifted away from the old home. ..
p, who had taken to the life OF a farm
or. moved TO a farm near Nu1na, where
ne mas since lived. This separation
came in 1877 and the two had never
met nor correspondent until 1917.
Learn of Whereabouts.
During all Of these years each had
thought concerning the other and had
often wished and wondered il the
brother was alive. Each had married
and raised family and the children
had been told Of the uncle who had
been lost. yet no trace could be found
Of him. 1t was during this last winter
that some word was received that a
Russell had once lived near Winterset
Iowa. 1t was then that Bert Russell
now of Nunla and a son Of o. P, in
serted an ad in the Winterset paper
stating that relatives sought TO locate
]. S. Russell. An old friend who had
lived near him years before, sent the
paper to Nebraska and the ad came 10
the attention of J. s. himself. lmme-
diately letter came from him 10 ms
brother near Euma asd it was learned
that the other was living. A short
time later the brother arrived on
train and for the past two weeks has
been spending the time with the broth
er near Numa. He will leave today for
his home at Albion, Neb.
When the brothers separated one
was 50 asd the other %, both just in
the prime OF their young manhood.
Neither thought that the next time
they would meet each would be entire
~ gray with the greater part Of their
life's work completed. The joy which
the men felt at such a meeting can
only be partially realized, but it was
conspicuous in the long visit which
they had during these past two weeks.

big factor-this conservation Of warm
clothing.
There has been considerable argu-
ment as to the durable popularity Of
capes. AS We do at everything, we
have fairly leaped at these all-cover-
ing garments. only to lose, by so
doing. their principal charm. that of
exclusiveness, they have become so
universally popular that they are con-
sequently cheapiuet, and will not be
to the fore in the fall and winter ward
robe of Miladi Ultra.
Separate skirts are quite good. and
of course will have their place so long
as topcoats are in good style. Heavy
satin. trimmed in stitching and cords,
is popular in dark colors. while French
fianels in stripes and coin spots are in
vogue for sports wear. Practical
skirts of khaki are trimmed with
patch pockets and bone buttons on
belt and pockets.
Than the blouse there is nothing
upon which so greatly depends the
success of a costume. First in inn
portance is the collar line. even before
material. For no matter how per-
fectly "accoutred" a woman may be
in other appointments of dress-a try
ing neck-line will undo a world of ef-
fort. One can have no set rule to
abide by; frills on your neighbor may
look CHASTITY on you, while your pique
collar would add ten years to her ap-
pearance. High collars Of net with
jabots attached are being worn quite
bit. For young women sports stocks
with Ascot ties are new and nifty;
waists are being trimmed chiefly in
filet and Irish lace, combined with art
full bits of hand embroidery. Some of
the Italian blouses, made on finest
voile and batiste, combine lace with
embroidery encroaching thereon in
delicate tracery. We are indeed glad
to again welcome Irish motifs and
edgings, as the majority of us have
saved pieces which will come in most
acceptably. Some critic has told us
that the peplum blouse is losing it's
pep, but the best shops are still show
ing peplum and Russian blouse ef-
fects. Cornflower blue, cafe au lait
biscuit, amethyst, amber and cesse
are popular colors.
A blouse of lettuce green Georgette
crepe has collar and cuffs OF filet,
bound in green taffeta. Silver en-
broidered leaves and flowers grow on

the lower part of the blouse. which
has a wide crushed belt of taffeta. A
black moire necktie has for ends two
Jade rings.
Our beloved one-piece frock is still
among us. and long may it live! Blue
serge still claims supremacy, though
several pretenders have an alarming
number of followers. As in suits, the
skirts are narrower, two widths suf-
ficing for most of the daytime frocks.
Extra fullness is placed about the
hips, and not at the hem, as it was a
season or so ago.
One very stunning trotteur Is of tan
twill. made with a skirt one and one
half yards around the bottom. The
waist descends to hip length in two
panels back and front, these panels
outlined in half-inch bandings of duh
gold embroidery. The skirts fullness
is confined under two inverted box
plaits which are lined with satin and
attached above the waistline under
each arm. Collar and cuffs of batiste
are edged with real val lace. This
model is invariably becoming to the
inclined-to-be- e-plump lady, bless her.
A frock of blue liberty satin has a
closely plated double tunic, a swatch
ed girdle embellished in silver and
wool embroidery. and a collarless
blouse made surplice fashion. Very
simple, and very stylish.
For afternoon and dinner wear, crepe
Georgette in pastel shades has su-
premacy. Metal embroideries, ostrich
or fur banding and fringe are popular
trimmings. Chiffon velvet fashions
some wonderfully attractive semi
dress frocks. They depend upon the
richness OF the material for their chief
attractiveness. Sleeves of self-toned
Georgette and perhaps collar of
Kolinsky or ermine suffice for trim
ming.
Evening gowns Of velvet, when we'll
executed, are the loveliest of such, but
badly made they are impossible. The
choice of colors for evening wear is
less restricted than for the daylight
frocks. Perhaps the fashion dictators
have allowed us this latitude. that We
may have our time Of relaxation and
gayety, after days of bandage rolling
and strenuous campaigns. Silver and
gold lace, radium cloth and tuue still
lead in party gowns, though there is
more tendency toward bit of sleeve
on the newest models.

or may be thrown back when the
wearer is under fire.
Another coat rejecting the military
is of dark blue Bolivia cloth with
collars and cuffs of scarlet ana
scarlet landings on the square
pockets Cleaning buttons complete a
clever ensemble.
Gray is one of the best colors, for
fall, with blue and buff as close fol-
lowers. Large fur collars are still
being worn, and will probably con-
tinue to be worn, whether they are en-
tirely au fait or not. For they are uni
versally becoming and very comfort
able. And in these days American
women are wisely thinking of COM
fort-and looks combined. Metal en-
broideries appear on collars and cuffs.
with an occasional departure as to
pockets and belt.
The new suit silhouette will bring
joy to the hearts Of that great ma
jority of women who feel most at
home in a "stricktly tailor-made." The
notched collar, snug sleeve and smooth
shoulder and armhOle is with us again.
while the coats are nearly all finger
tip or knee length. Skirts are sparse
ly pleated, II at all, and have invisi-
BILE pockets. Tweed, homespun, the
ubiquitous blue serge, oxford and twills
are all in top style. For her who
must lean a little toward dressiness
in her tailleur there is always black
broadcloth-never old and ever charm
ing.
one particularly attractive suit in
black French serge has a semi-fitted
coat, the back being a masterpiece In
fine seams, ending at the waist line
with CrotaChs embroidered in black
silk. The collar and revers are fin
ished with these same ornaments, and
the crowning attractions are hand
hemstitched collar and cuffs OF sheer
handkerchief linen. The skirt is plain,
with the slightest fullness over the
hips, allowed by two tiny box pleats.
As early as last spring women in
England were wearing plain, ready
made suits of blue-and Of pure cot
