when In doubt, choose talfeta," for
everywhere fashion DEGREES it the
ideal silk for afternoon suits and
frocks and for the simpler evening
dresses. BY virtue of the fabric sim
pie suit of taffeta is more formal and
dressy than plain cloth suit and all
the chances are that it will cost less
in time and money, to make it. In
addition to these advantages there is
the matter of color to be considered.
Colors that verge on the insipid in
materials that lack luster, are Won
derfully attractive in taffeta.
There never was a material that the
home dressmaker can handle more
easily or one that lends itself better
to the making of trimmings. The pret-
ty suit of taffeta shown in the picture
illustrates all these advantages which
account for the perennial popularity
Of this long and well-loved silk. It is
a simple model with several dlStin-
gushing touches that rescue it from
the commonplace in designing.
The skirt is straight, hanging from
a plain, broad girdle of the silk which
fastens at the side. 1t is finished at
Meade County news., 1917-05-10

the bottom with ruching of the taf.
feta having picot edge. This ruchlng
tends TO make the skirt flare, but its
ambition In that direction is held in
check by narrow grosgrain ribbon
that is threaded through slashes in the
silk, just above the ruching. This APP
parently helps the skirt from depart
ing from the straight and narrow way
of new skirt fashions. The ribbon
matches the silk in color.
The bottom of the blouse, or coat,
whichever you choose to call It, is en-
couraged to stand off from the figure
by the ruching. 1t attains by this
means the wide hip effect which fash
ion permits to those who find it be-
coming. The coat is finished with a
deep cape collar, trimmed with ruch-
ing, and baggy pocket at each side.
1t is confined at the waist with girdle
of taffeta with looped-over ends at the
front.
A white collar of some kind appears
to be always in the mind of those who
create styles in taffeta suits or dresses.
The collar may be of white crepe or
organdie or even of heavier fabrics.

into personal contact with South
American institutions and people, the
difference of traditional ideals with
which North and South America were
founded. While through our parks
and commons in New England we find
statues of the early Pilgrim father
with a staff in his hand and the Bible
under his arm, here in these republics
we find in the parks the mailed war

possessions, to loot his gold and to

The exposition of blouse fashions
for summer is completed, with great
credit deserved by those who launch
the styles. Unless the unexpected hap
pens, nothing new will be added to it
and certainly nothing is needed. In
dications point to all white In mid
summer styles as preferred over
blouses in vivid colors that captlvated
us all when they made their appear
ance for spring. But, even so, all
white may divide honOrs with pale
colors and combinations Of color, in
fabrics so sheer that they will look
cool in any shade.
Anyway. the dainty, white blouse
will always he safe choice for any
season. Nothing exceeds 1t for ele-
gance and therefore 1t cannot lose
the allegiance of women. For mid
summer wear it is made in silk and
cotton. materials mainly, but fine sheer
linen always figures among high priced
models In the most authoritative dis
plays.
A blouse of fine, cotton voile and
one of crepe de chine chosen as rep
resentative of two good styles, are
shown in the picture. Each shows
pretty new touches-where experience
of the seasons tendencies lead MS to
look for them-in the sleeves and col
lar. These models are commendable
from every standpoint.
The blouse of fine voile Is made with
two wide and group of three narrow
tucks at each side of the front and
has plain back. The rather full, plain
sleeves are gathered into a deep cuff,
having panel of embroidered voile
set in lengthwise. All seanls are hem
stitched and there was never anything
of greater decorative importance than
this hemstitching. The collar is cut
to form deep, square cape at the

He FORGOT ETHICS
But the Doctor Understood Boys,
Which Was More Important.
His Talk of the Old Fishing Hole and
the Summer Camping Trip Sue
ceeded Where Medicine
Failed.

The doctor walked slowly upstairs.
The little boys illness was not yield
ing to treatment as he would have
wished. He had been doing all that
medicine would do for the boy, but
the delay in calling him had given the
sickness such a start that he had made
little progress in checking it. So he
went upstairs with a heavy heart.
Jimmie smiled as the young doctor
came into his room, Jimmie was the
smiling kind, though he had found it
hard to be cheerful.
The doctor had many other calls to
make, and he left soon with the prom
Use to call again that night. When he
came again the little patient was
worse, though he probably did not
realize it. The doctor took his pulse
and his temperature and asked the
usual questions of his mother. Then
he did highly unethical thing. But
he understood boys and especially the
one before him.
Jimmie" he said, "you and I are
going to fight hard to get you well,
but we are going to get you WELL" The
boy smiled; the doctor had touched
the right chord. Nobody but you and
l can do it. Mother can't help you
neither can sister or brother or father.
l am going to come to see you twice
a day. We have got to get you In
good shape so that you will be all
ready to go camping this summer with
the rest Of the boys.
FYou remember that little redeye
hole down by those willows where
stopped to watch you fish when l came
by in the automobile? Well, l drove
past there last week and it looks to
me like it is going to be better than
ever. A big log has floated down there
and you can sit on it in the shade Of
the willows and never get bit hot,
even in July. But before you go fish
ing you will have to get well. l think
we can have you out of bed in two
weeks"
Ihe little chap in the bed looked
hard at the doctor He was only ten
years old, and it is hard for ten-year-
old boys to lie in bed. He had seen
the doctor swim across a wide, swift
river, he knew the doctor could lift
him with two fingers; he knew the
doctor liked little boys and liked to
help them all he could. In his boy
mind the doctor was hero. ''Yes, sir
(the boy was speaking), if you say we
have to fight, I'll do just what you
say. 1t is hard not to get to play af-
ter school Ga tear rolled down and
lost Itself In the sheet near the boys
earl, but I can put my clothes on,
can't II" The doctor nodded, and, for
getting about medicine, plunged into
another story of next summer. He
talked for almost an hour to the boy.
Which was also not exactly ethical.
But when he rose to go he noticed a
new light in the young eyes.
Il think We will have Jimmie out
playing in about two weeks" he said
to the anxious mother. And as he
threw his car into "high," listener
might have heard him humming softly
as was his habit when his heart was
not heavy.-Indianapolis News.

POTATOES AGAIN DROP

SEATTLE, July 25-Potatoes took a further decline the last three days, shipments arriving fast. Locals are selling much lower than the California variety. California fruit is selling at high prices. Local growers are shipping fast a god supply of green vegetables, which are bringing good prices. The butter market is firm in face ofv a cream shortage. Eggs are weaker, a run of good weather influ- encing the supply. It is impossible to supply the Alaska orders with fresh eggs, so the cold storage hold ings are being drawn upon.
 Cheese is steady and featured by a slight advance Grocery staples are still the same. Potatoes, locals. are $40 and 50; cabbage. locals 8 cents onions. 2k and cents; onions, 2A and cents; apples, $2.25 and $2.5O a box; butter, AZ and 43 cents; Eggs ranch. 40 and 41; cheese 24.
