and hanging over the skirt in peplum
 fashion. One of these is illustrated
 here forming a summer costume with
 simple gathered skirt. The materia!
 IS organdie, and the trimming filet
 lace. Wide bands of filet lace connect
 the front and back panels of the over blouse stimulating large pockets over the hips. A belt which is half organ die and half lace marks the waistline, and the novel outline of. the neck is another feature which contributes to the unmistakable originality of the design.
 Organdie is used very freely for the warm-weather frock, and certainly there is nothing that looks daintier or cooler. Pale shades of green and pink are as popular as white. A quaint, old-fashioned air pervades the frock made entirely of organdie and trim med with many tiny ruffles of the same material. The ruffles are placed in rows at the sides of the skirt, and the bodice is topped with a fichu edged with narrow ruffies in some of the most attractive models.
 Navy-blue taffeta is coming back into it's own for the dark silk frock to wear on the cooler summer days. These dresses are trimmed with heavy silk stitching, and the more elaborate ones with beads and hand embroidery. The slightly fitted bodice with straight gathered skirt is again in vogue for this type of frock. Collars of light pink, pale blue, white, or checked silk finish moot of these frocks, many of which are made with the sleeves or some portion of the waist of blue Georgette to match the taffeta. Only by foulard is taffeta r; valed, for the foulard dress which was introduced in the spring is still hold ing sway. To vary the large polka dots there are other newer spreading designs for those who may have tired ot the coin dots.

RED CROSS WORK

Red Cross work is receiving it's share of attention this week. On Monday afternoon the various heads of committees met for work in the Presbyterian church. A box of Red Cross supplies is being prepared for inspection by the San Francisco unit, and if favorably passed upon, the real work of preparation will be begun.
 Mrs. Porter, chairman, anticipates that next Friday, work will be taken up in earnest.
 At 4:30 on Monday, Dr. Fronske explained in detail just what might be expected of class in First Aid His advice to the ladies was to the effect that work in First Aid, so in- valuable in the home, might be taken up at some other time when the de- mand for real Red Cross service was not so imperative as it is just now. Every woman's time can be utilized for war service and needs to be so utilized and when that demand has been satisfied, the First Aid class can be organized.
 Fully realizing the wisdom of such a policy, the ladies unanimously voted to lay aside the matter until later.

Geraldine Farrar as Joan of Arc
 to be Seen Here Soon

Based on the life of the immortal Joan of Arc motion picture produc- tion in eleven parts entitled "Joan the Woman" directed by Cecil B. DeMil- le, with Geraldine Farrar in the role of Joan, will be seen at the Orpheum Saturday and Sunday July q and 22.
 Although Miss Farrar a year ago acted in three short photoplays under MT. DeMille's direction at the Lasky studios, "Joan the Woman" will mark her first appearance as the star in a cinema drama of length sufficient to comprise an entire evenings enter tainment.
 There is a cetrain timeliness about the story of Joan of Arc, as it has been reported frequently from France that public interest in the Maid of Orleans never was so keen as to the present moment. Although the story of "Joan the Woman" written for the screen by Jeanie Macpherson, has been carefully guarded, it is said that MT. DeMille and Miss Farrar have touched upon this feature of modern ism in relating one of the most fascin- ating stories of mediaevalism.
 All the scenes of the picture were made last summer in California, Miss Farrar having spent more than four months in the motion picture colony. AS to the historical accuracy of cos tunes, armor, heraldry, buildings and the personnel, that portion of the production was in the hands of Will fred Buckland, formerly of the artistic staff of David Belasco. MT. Buckland and Mir. DeMille for two years have worked side by side in the Lasky studios and the assembling of mate rial for "Joan the Woman" consumed many months of that time.
 Nothing more stirkingly portrays the lavishness with which "Joan the Woman" has been staged than men, ton of the members of the cast. The hero is played by Wallace Reid, who was the Don Jose in Miss Farrar's film production of "Carmen;" Hobart Bosworth, as La Hire; Theodore Rob- erts, as Cauchon; Raymond Hatton, as King Charles VII; Fully Marshall, as Loiseleur, and Charles Clary, as La Tremoille.
 Joan the Woman will be the attrac- tion at the Orpheum theatre Saturday and Sunday July 21 and 22.

Last Sunday morning Dr. Baum brought solace to many doubting hearts when he explained the "Min- istry of the Clouds" Through tribu- lation oftimes we find the silver lin- ing. In the evening, the large at- tendance of young people took to heart the significance of developing "Backbone.' King Custom, King Sentiment and King Indifference" try hard to break our moral stamina but each day we fail to bow to them, strengthens and enlarges our growth. Next Sunday morning communion will be observed and members and visit ors are urged to be present. In the evening the topic will be, "The Second Mile" Of course you will be there but see that others come.

The ladies of the town have enjoyed the week of instructive lessons given by Miss Hewey at the Herman build ing. Each afternoon from two to five, demonstrations along practical lines in cooking have been given. A drawing contest in which a sack of flour is given to the lucky holder of the right number, has added interest each afternoon. These contests will continue during the remainder of the week. Delicious samples of every recipe used convince the guests that next week will find some of the good things served in their own homes at a recent date. Miss Hewey is quite ready to answer any questions which it may occur to you to ask. In fact, general discussions will create inter- est.

INTERESTING EVENTS IN
 THE LOCAL SOCIAL WORLD
RECEPTION FOR THE BAUMS
By MRS. FRANK ". NOBLE

From the standpoint of sociability, the reception rendered Dr. Baum and his daughter, Miss Ruth last Tuesday night at the Presbyterian church, left nothing to be desired.
 True, the weather was most in- clement-the rain coming just at the time set for the affair, but those who ventured forth were more than repaid for any effort it may have cost them.
 The church was attractively decor ated for the occasion with a profus- sion of lovely roses and the cordial greeting of Mrs. Sisson, as president of the Aid Society, placed every one at home.
 Mrs. Sisson, in turn, introduced Dr. and Miss Baum, and shortly was be- gun program of song and instrum- ental music by students of the Nor nal. A reading of exceptional merlt was given and heartily applauded.
 At the conclusion of the program, the guests were refreshed by dainty collation., which added greatly to the pleasure of the evening.
 At ten adieus were said amid con- pliments to the circle of ladies who had provided the delightful entertain ment.

TO RED CROSS WORKERS

Mrs. Porter wishes all who can help in Red Cross work to know that on Friday next the actual work will be- gin. She wishes each helper to pro- vide herself with tape measure, thimble and scissors that the work may be facilitated.
 The working hours will be from 9:30 to 11:30 a. m., and from 80 to 4:30 p. m. on both Tuesdays and Fridays of each week.

are made altogether of crepe with a trimming of grosgrain ribbon or of white soutache worked out in some braiding design on brim or crown. Some of the hats are made with crowns of white satin and straight wide brims of crepe or net. Flowers and fine feathers are used by way of decoration in some instances. Another type of white hat in vogue is the small close-ftting feather turban which is very attractive to wear with white dresses. There are veils, too, in infinite variety to complement all kinds of summer hats.
 The Sleeveless Sports Coat
 A new development in sports clothes is the sleeveless coat, usually made of wool jersey in the gay colors so popu- lar in sports. These add bright touch to the all-white costume and furnish that dash and gaiety which makes the sports clothes for the coun- try so thoroughly irresistible. The new sleeveless coats are about hip length, and are cut on the same sim pie, loose-ftting lines that character ize all sports coats. They are usually belted and provided with pockets, both for utility and smartness. With shirt waists of white wash silk or crepe de Chine, and skirts of cream serge or silk, the wool jersey coats in light blue, green or rose color provide striking contrast which can not fail to please.
 Not unlike the sleeveless coat is the long overblouse worn over a guimpe

New Brand Advs for the Sun

That the Sun is becoming more popular each issue with the stockmen of Northern Arizona is evidenced by the addition of four new brand adver- tisements in this issue. The new ad- ditions are the D. A.

 White Hats Appear
 The time has come not only for white frocks but for white hats, too. This season there are all kinds of white hats, most of them entirely white, while now and again a brim has an undertaking of black or navy blue, or a rolled-up brim displays a touch of color against the white.
 The hats of white crepe are very fashionable and ever so dainty. Some

WARM WEATHER BRINGS
 OUT CRISP, WHITE FROCKS

New York. July 9, 1917
 Crisp, white frocks have always been and will always be one of the essentials of the hot weather ward robe. No matter what styles may be in vogue, or what colors specially fav- ored, white will always be brought out as soon as it becomes unbearably hot, and the pretty embroidered voiles, organdies, handkerchief linens and batiste are always to be counted on as the mainstays for these frocks.
