the present pastor, Rev. Mr.. Spacht,
took part in the dedicatory services.
Fully 200 people gathered for the
ceremony, spending the day at the
church.
At noon a splendid picnic dinner
was served by the Ladies Aid of the
Highland church. The good women
had baked a hundred cakes and pre-
pared besides large quantities of APP
petizing food. No food shortage in
Willis township.
The church has been completed at a
cost of $1,000. The excavating, base
ment work, lathing and hauling Of
material were all donated. The prop
osition had been carefully financed SO
that on Sunday only $500 remained to
be raised. There was little trouble in
raising the amount and $75 besides.
The Ladies Aid Society has paid for
the church furnishings.
The following excellent account OF
the services was handed to the hide
pendent this morning:
The Highland Congregational church
in the fine farming community 18 miles
from Minot and IL from Sawyer; ded-
icated it's new house Of worship last
Sunday. The new building is pretty

and well appointed one, with main
auditorium and two class rooms, also
full basement. It is furnished with
chairs, and is one Of the best rural
church edifices in the state. Its con-
stituency comprises large English
speaking community, which has united
in building up Community Church.
The membership has within it's ranks
a number of the leading families Of
the surrounding country, and it's church
constituency generally represents
those who are endeavoring to build up
the community materially, education
ally, socially and spiritually The Sun
day school is large and the interest of
the young people very encouraging.
The services Of dedication were in
charge Of Rev. w. Knighton Bloom,
Associate Superintendent of the Con-
gregational Conference of North Da-
k0ta. The first service was that Of
the Sunday school, which was followed
by the morning worship, at which the
Rev. p. H. Stickney, D. D. of Fargo
preached the sermon, and also led in
the raising Of the money needed to
free the building from all indebted
ness. This was accomplished at the
first service, and later on in the day
another liberal Offering was received
for further equipment of the basement
part Of the edifice. The church was
crowded in every part. Following the
morning service dinner was served on
the church grounds, and after good
social time, the second service of the
day was held. Addresses of greeting
and fellowship were made by Rev. w.
D. Farrer, a former pastor, and Rev.
A. j. Spacht, the present minister,
following which Rev. w. X. Bloom
spoke on the great ideals of Chris
tian church and led in the service Of
dedication. DR.. Stickney made the
prayer Of dedication. The closing parts
of the service were especially beauti-
ful and fitting, as nine people united
with the church, seven of whom were
young men and women, six receiving
Christian baptism. Then in the quiet
and hush Of the afternoon, the audi
ence, which again filled every part Of
of the church, united in the Commune
ion service. The old Chautauuua
hymn, "Day Is Dying In The West"
was sung and q happy throng Of peo-
pie returned to their homes, glad that
at last they had a church home to
which on the Sabbath they could wend
their way, and where also on week
days they could meet for social occas-
ions.

general lines to individual figures, and almost aAy woman may be fitted very easily. The sleeves are particularly smart, with their pointed bulge below the elbow-and this sort of sleeve shows off the soutache pattern very well indeed. Soutache should always be stitched to the frock with silk thread, for a cheap thread will fade in the sunlight and make jarring note in the otherwise handsome frock. All costumes of this dainty and ex- elusive class should be sewed with silk throughout-even in the seams and other hidden details, and the woman who desires to get the most out of her frocks will not consider buying a model sewed with cheap thread. It never pays in the long run.
 The Colors Of Spring.
 Gray seems as popular as ever this season and the new grays have a pinkish tinge that is ientrancing. There is asparagus gray, too, a greenish gray just off the white. Oyster gray and silver gray are two other lovely shades for gowns of distinction. Red is un- doubtedly spring color this year and the brightest shades are combined

fashion. years ago. There are banos of soutache embroidery, yokes, cuffs, pockets, panels and other sections of the costume covered entirely with the lsoutache, usually in self-tone. and the effect is undeniably rich and hand some.
 The pale gray frock pictured is an excellent example of the way soutache trimming is being treated just now. In this frock almost the whole bodice, half of the sleeve and a tximming- band at the, hem. are covered with close soutaching in self-tone; both frock and soutache being in lovely. pale gray tint which is matched by the silk stockings. The smart little hat of gold lace has q pearl bead or nanent and the tussah parasol is in a delicate mauve shade that har- monizes with the gray frock. This costume has the Moyenage bodice. loose yet clinging and the sloping belt which crosses and comes around to the front, to be knotted at the hips, de- fines the figure just enough to make the frock individual on it's wearer. These sashes on so manysof the ready to-wear frocks, are commendable, in that they make it possible to adjust

FLAG ETIQUETTE

ner is played, but will sit stolidly while the Stars and Stripes are flung out on stage or platform. Yet the flag deserves recognition and honor much more than the national anthem. At this time when the American flag looms large in every Americans inn agination. few words about flag etiquette may not come amiss
 The flag should never be allowed to remain floating all night from the house front, no matter how good the weather is or how much trouble it is to get the flag up and down. Etiuuette demands that it be raised not before sunrise; and 1t must be lowered by sunset. In a harbor where yachts are anchored "colors" go up on the club house staff at eight in the morning. and come down at sunset, and it is a pretty sight to see the flags running up on every trim little craft in the harbor when the commodore's big flag is flung out to the morning breeze.
 When a flag is formally raised, all present stand at attention with the right hand lifted to the forehead in salute. Have you ever visited at an army post, or in the officers quarters at a navy yard? When the flag comes down at sunset everyone stops what he is doing and stands at attention The young officers may be never so busy playing tennis with pretty girls, but at the sound of the sunset gun the game stops temporarily and men and girls alike wait quietly while the flag is lowered. To a civilian it is a beautiful. and impressive sight.
 A flag which is to be displayed at half mast for mourning, must first be raised to the top of the staff and then lowered to position.

 of these are trimmed with steel bead embroidery and the effect is very rich though one would hardly like to see too many such costumes on a warm spring day! Red and white checks are very fashionable, and some of the printed silks show red squares and figures on a ground of blue. Such a frock, with panels of white silk embroidered in red, was described for you on last weeks page.
 White frocks, it is said. will be. the rage as soon as the days grow more summery and already many white cos tunes are appearing in the restau- rants. White buttoned boots are to
 have tremendous vogue-one has only to study the windows of the shoe shops to realize that-and the com
 bination of white frock with white
 boots is so charming that every wom- an will want at least one white cos tune for formal wear. White soiree silk, white tussah and white mohair and worsted mixture are the materials selected for, such fDocks, and tailored
 lines are in evidence. The white cos tune for wear with a hat must always
 have the tailored suggestion, else it will not be correct, +Filmy white is

 mer; 1uttery or shimmery whiteS for

 frock of worsted and mohair mixture Is pictured and nothing more correct could be imagined. The simple lines are girlish in suggestion and here again is the useful sash that draws in the bodice to suit the individual fig ure. The. pleated skirt Is attached to
 a smoothly fitted yoke, rows and rows of machine stitching in red silk out lining this yoke and also edging the
 sleeves. The latter are regulation coat
 sleeves and give strong tailored char
 acter to the frock. Of course. you
 have guessed that the white straw hat

 When the swagger-stick is carried in one hand, it should be grasped a little below the middle and should be carried very lightly as the maid in the tailored frock is carrying her stick. Imagine your swagger-s is a fairy-wand and you as the fairy, and the idea will help you carry the stick gracefully. There are innumerable pretty poses when the stick is held in both hands; one of these poses is shown by the maid in the Directoire coat-dress. Half an hour spent be- fore a mirror will show you any num- Der of pretty ways to hold the stick when standing or seated and you will soon learn to remember these poses and fall into them naturally. It is much harder to acquire the art of carrying the stick when walking. A little too much boldness and jaunti- ness and the effect may be common and unladylike; little too much re- serve and timidity and pathetic awk wardness will result. Do not tap the pavement with the end of the ferule. or carry the stick as though it were a staff and you were laboring up a mountain. You may tuck it under one arm if all else fails and seem to have thrust 1t there casually, for the mo- ment while the hands are otherwise occupied. Another easy way is to grasp the stick about two-thirds of the distance down from the handle and then carry 1t with the handle end pointing forward and down. One may also stroll with the can held at arms length behind one. the cane resting against the back of the hips. Or it may be held in the crook of the elbow, the ferule end pointing upward and forward.

tractive, also, if she keeps warm with a spencer under her bodice than if she goes about the house wrapped in knitted rweater--and the sweaters that housemaids affect are nearly al- ways a dingy gray in color and most depressing to look at. Spencers, which used to be an indispensable article of feminine wardrobes, are very handy little garments indeed-particularly if one lives in the suburbs where houses are apt to be colder than in town and during the trying between-season time when it is too warm for furnace heat yet not warm enough for sum- mery airs to come in at the windows there is nothing like the trim and tidy spencer, worn beneath the housedress These little garments come with or without long sleeves and if desired. the fronts may be crossed and tied with ribbon at the back, giving P smooth line over the bust and beneath the ShirtWaiSt

ness, alertness of poise-these ars the things that are essential; and with them must go smartness and kubw- | ingness of costume. Just fancy a swagger-stick with a frilly be-sashed house-frock, or an evening wrap! It must accompany faultless tailored costume possessed of some dash, and the more dash and verve in the e :; tune, the more it will become the dashing swagger-stick -a
 Two of the illustrations show the sort of tailored clothes that properly accompany these gay little sticks one costume a sport frock of wool jersey with the new barrel pockets and double strap patent leather belt; the other. costume a late Paris model in the new coat-dress style, made of beige mohair and worsted fabric. There is a strong suggestion of the Directoire about this costume (and you will rem ember that it was during the Directoire period that canes were carried by women of fashion.) The high stock collar and tie and the white linen cuffs peeping in masculine sem blance below the coat sleeves, together with the rigid lines of the small hat are clever details that accord with the jaunty masculine quality of the swag- ger-stick. But there is another quail ity that the new feminine cane may ex- press-and that is dignity The Direc- l toire cane, very long and often carried like a staff was stately rather than jaunty; and there are long swagger- sticks in white enamel or in black polished wood with handsome parasol- like handles, that are designed to ac- company dainty afternoon costumes for veranda or restaurant wear. One of these sticks is pictured also-a long swagger-stick finished in white enamel with a flat metal knob on the end, which Is not a mere knob but an art fully arranged vanity box. In the lid Is mirror and a powder puff fits into the shallow box. Milady in the pic ture is discovered taking a peep at herself in the mirror of her swagger- stick while dab of powder is applied to her little nose. In this instance, as you see. the white swagger-stick ac-

 Soft Silks Liked Best By Paris.
 The stiff taffetas that were in vogue last spring have no place in this sea- sons program. All the spring silks are soft, shimnering and lustrous and graceful folds and draperies are pre- ferred to founces or other stiff ef- fects. So.ree silk is the silk especially in demand and lovely indeed are the new shades. Faille matinee is liked for street frocks, surahs and crepe de chine appear in stunning sport frocks and Paris is using quite good deal of soft satin meteor as background for bead and soutache embroideries. Right here, one must admit the soutache craze. Everything that can be soutache- embroidered is so dec- orated, but soutache trimming is ap- piled in masses on the frock-never in scattered, straying effects as used to be the case when soutache was the

And indeed. for clever home-dressmaker the new frocks are not hard to copy. for lines are very simple, the chief elaboration being in weH-placed trim ming.

 Emphasis Put On The Sleeve.
 An interesting sleeve is shown in the silk frock which has the new bar rel drapery over the hips. The sleeve is interesting because there is so little of it. Every. woman who sees it will exclaim: Gan it be that we are to wear these little sleeves again?" Yet 1t is just such sleeves that Paris is putting on formal frocks! This cos- tune is made of orchid tinted soiree silk and is trimmed with self-toned velvet ribbon, drawn. through tiny pearl buckles at the belt line, where bodice and skirt meet in triple row of gathers. The wide skirt with its looped draperies at the sides contrasts with the little bodice, tiny of sleeve and extremely plain at the neck. You
