ly do merely for gifts. That is the way
you feel about it now. but here is
prediction: BY the time Christmas
comes you will find your heart filled
fuller than ever before with the blessed
spirit of giving. Your presents may
be different from those of previous
years. Small presents you may give to
those to whom you have formerly given
lavishly and to some persons whom
you have given gingerly before you
may be prompted to give lavishly-but
it is safe to say you will give as many
presents as you did in yuletde. 1916.
The advantage of doing some al least
of your Christmas shopping now is to
be found in the fact that most every
article of merchandise is considera bly,
less expensive now than it can possibly
be three or four months hence. Nor
NAL prices now are lower than they
can possibly be then, and besides III
August prices are abnormaily low.
Take the toy departments Of your large
department stores, for instance. Now
is the time when toys can be bought
at a price that would be ridiculous a.
Christmas time. There are many clear
ance sales of toys TO be discovered by a
shopping tour The same holds good
in the book departments Of many shops
Then. aside from the reduced cost of
many things. now that there are COM
paratively few shoppers about. one
has far better chance of finding what

wins introduction of the hat worn by
Gen. Washington and Light Horse
Harry Lee.
To go with such hat some of the
designers should take notes from the
old portraits of that epoch and revive
the graceful and becoming neckwear of
finely pleated frflls of muslin that
stood m about the neck. with cascades
that fell from the collar.
On the walls of the library on the
campus of Washington and Lee Uni
versity are sufficient portraits of the
two great revolutionary families who
dressed to give an artistic dressma ker
book of ideas to launch with other
continental styles.
The milliners regard Lanvin as a
dressmak er first and milliner after,
but this talented designer. who has
dressed so many dozens of American
children. has created pieces of head
gear that all the world has copied.
The continental hat. even in its modf-

Germans during the war will be con-
sidered here at meeting Friday of the
seamen's international conference. Dele

conduct of ]. Havelock Wilson, president
of the international Seamen's Union
who in statement last Saturday said
the Sailors and Firemen's Union was
fully determined to stick to it's guns and
refuse to carry peace delegates abroad.
The prospectus of the meeting says
the delegates also will consider what

excellent for the first autumn days. The
dress is easy to copy.

which fastens at one side, the cuffs
and neck scarf are of black satin. and
the collar. which is sailor shaped at
the back. may be either of white satin
or white georgette. Metal embroidery
borders the frock and distinguishes it.
The f1aring points at the hip on either
side are not cut in one with the skirt
but are shaped and set on. These may
conceal pockets if desired. Visible pock-
cts are not greatly favored on any of
the street frocks this fall, and, in fact,
few dresses are equipped with pockets
of any sort.
In considering the question of buy
ing dresses ready-to-wear or making
them at home, if economy plays any
part. it is well to note that very few
ready-to-apply trimmings are being

Daily we see accounts, where
some woman is seeking a divorce
from her hushSnd. In nearly
every case it is for cruel and in
human treatment, which is near
ly always caused by drink.
How many homes are ruined
by liquor, and little children
made fatherless by the same!
Most crime is committed thru
drink. 1t is in the saloon that
men think of crime. If all states
would go dry we would have
more happy homes and less di
vorces.
Why not abolish the liquor
traffic? sSomc say the govern
ment must be kept up. True,
but if all breweries and distil-
lieries. and saloons were wiped
out, the money that is being
spent daay III and because of
them would be brought into the
homes. We would then have
more men who would think and
do. And there would not be a

could not pay the tax that it
would bring on each person to
take the place of the liquor rev
