I Of the summer days as the various OBJ
there comes into the feminine hear
a longing for the brighter hues il
their own apparel-colors which
|speak cheering messages Of light anc
gladness. And so their desires were
! gratified--yes, even more than that
their anticipations were overawed by
the flood of colors and the spirit of
! brightness which characterized the
entire display.
! Just as important as the material
for her own gown is the material
which the woman of good judgment
and forethought selects for the
grooming of her car. If she is par
ticularly fond of delicate blue, but
dislikes the deeper shades of crimson
or brown, she would never be induced
to purchase gown of either of these
colors for herself, nor would she be
satisfied to ride, day after day, in
her limousine if the upholstering and
trimmings were of one of these
shades.
Blue? Certainly.
Quite naturally, in this case, she
would select gown of blue, of what
ever shade is most becoming to her
and then her thoughts would turn to
her ear decorations, which should har-
monte as we'll as possible with her
own outfit. In the shops where these
special designs are carried out, there
are shelves well filled with materials
of the rarest qualities for Milady's
most unusual appeal in this line, rich
velour cloth and tapestry in all the
new shades-taupe. Burgundy, rasp-
berry and numerous other popular
hues which blend beautifully with the
gowns, that will be worn this summer.
The conventional black and white
stripe, which is always welcome and
always popular, is among the leads in
the special upholstering patterns
which are being shown.
Something in Clubs.
One of the growing glories of
woman's life is the club or clubs of
which she is a member. whether they
be bridge clubs, study clubs, embroid-
cry clubs or any of the other numer-
Gus species which play such an impor-
tant part in the life of the American
womsn today. 1t seems almost abb

DvINsK AS A PIVOTAL POINT
Thriving Russian City That Controls
River Dvina Valley, One of the
Strongest Fortified.

Dvinsk, one of Russia's strongest for
titled cities. Is described In bulletiD
issued by the National Geographic So
cfety, which says:
with a population of 10000, In
Guiding 10000 Jews, Dyinsk Is city
of prime Importance to Russia, for 1t
virtually controls the whole valley Of
the River Dvina, upon whose right
bank 1t is situated, no miles Obs
miles by river) southeast of Riga.
mot only is Dvinsk important as a
strategic river point, but as thriving
railway center. 1t is the junction
point for the great arteries of COM
merce running from Riga to Smolensk,
and from Perograd to Wilma. There
is also an important railroad to Libau.
Dvinsk is 1872 miles by rail southwest
of Petrograd.
"Dvinsk is an important agricultural
center, enjoying an extensive trade in
fax, hemp and grain. 1t is also a big
timber market, and its flourlshing in
dustries before the war included -four
mills, breweries, match and tobacco
factories, tanneries, brick and tile
works.
"In most encyclopedias and gazeteers
tine city is listed under its id name
of Dnaburg, but in 1898 the Russian
authorities officially declared 1t to be
Dvinsk.
During Napoleon's Russian CAM
paign in 1912 Marshal Oudinot tried
in vain to capture the bridgehead at
Dvinsk, but the honor of taking the
city was reserved for Macdonald few
weeks later"

SELL THE GENUINE COLD TEA
swIndiIno 5ootleggers Are Successful
ly Playing Confidence Game In
Dry Oregon.

No one will sympathize with the IL
licit buyer Of whisky who uncorks his
bottle In thirsty anticipation, only to
ind that It Is filled with cold tea, says
Portland exchange. For one thing,
this subterfuge of bootleggers is al
most as old as the hills. 1t no more
ought to fool reader of the days
news than the ancient gold brick or
sick engineer swindle.
The operation of the scheme has
been standardized. 1t is always the
same. The purveyor offers the custom
er bottle of "tea," and winks know
ingIy. phe deal is made and the party
OF the second part some time thereaft-
er is highly indignant because he got
precisely what he contracted for.
The buyer, of course, knew In the
beginning that he was making himself
party to a violation of the law. If he
had been law abiding he would not
have been cheated. II is so with most
confidence games. The fellow who
puts up his money for a supposed
bunch Of green goods" guaranteed to
defy detection, thinks he is going ia
make some "easy money" At heart he
is so much n law breaker as the man
who ewindles him. He sometimes pays
a high price for experience, but 1t is
worth the price If 1t teaches him that
law breaking from any angle seldom
pays in the end.

Roms,s Quiet unbroken.

One of the good stories In circula.

he dislikes one thing about it--that he
can't tell the boys-the friendly re
porters-about all they wish to know
Ele illustrated his inability to give in
formation once by quoting the case OF
Johnny.
Johnny was crying in the hall as
his mother came along, hated and
coated. She asked what had happened
"You are going away; and so is pa
pa" Johnny sobbed.
"Why, child, shall be away two OF
three days, but father is not going
away"
"Yes, he is" cried Johnny. Hes
going to Rome"

Display of Nerve.

During the corn show at Petersburg,
Ind, recently, when all business houses
were crowded with prospective custo-
mers for fall suits, and cloaks, rural
miss entered a store and asked 10 see
the various styles in winter cloaks, re-
lates the indianapolis News. The
saleswoman who had charge of the de-
partment spent almost an hour trying
on the various styles and explaining
the qualities of the goods. Finally a
coat was tried on that just suited the
girl. 1t was just what she was looking
for, she said. When the saleswoman
asked her whether she wished 1t done
up the girl replied:
"Oh, no, ma'am; am sending to a
mail order house for coat just like
the one you showed me, and l wanted
to see If was going to be cheated"
Apparently satisfied that she had
struck a bargain with the mail order
house, the girl left the store. 1t took
the saieswoman several minutes to
realize what had happened but when
she came to hereslf her prospective
customer had vanished.
