 A second feature that is quite certain to make an impression is the very great prevelance of vital color, of the kind of color that belongs to the primitive people. Whether we go to Russia or to China or to India we are using color that belongs to those races, vivid greens and rich reds and splendid picturesque effects for indoor gowns and for coun- try wear with just touches of the same brilliancy to be found in costumes of the street. Some of the French de- signcrs arc sending us afternoon gowns with cape-like wraps to match. They are very charming and they are very attractive and it is quite probable that the wrap idea will take something of definite hold. It has been said of American women again and again that they will not accept any fashion which conceals the lines of the figure and tho cape unquestionably does that. there- fore, it will probably be looked upon somewhat askance, but these garments are very graceful and pretty neverthe- less, and to some extent they are likely to be worn. A most attractive one is made of pale green crepe meteor which. for novely, is used on the reverse side. There is skirt which gives the bulged hip effect and which is quite narrow at the bottom and the sides of the skirt are deliberately embroidered with silver.

 thousand ways. It is just as natural to want pretty new costumes as 1t is for the tree to send forth it's young fresh leaves, and this year we are being offered a rather interesting situation. At first glance there seems to be almost bewildering variety and such wonderful combination of colors and of materials as almost to blind ono to fundamental design. But if you look little closely and study the situation bit you will find that that really remarkable and attractive garment konwn as the ehemise gown has de- velopcd along great many lines, and if you analyse many of the most beauti- full afternoon gowns that you meet you will find that it forms the founda- tion. It may be made of the richest and most sumptuous silk, it may be made of brocade combined with plain material, it may be elaborated with embroidery. it may be made wonder ful with fine lace. it may be enriched until you can hardly think of simplicity in the same breadth. yet it is chemisc model, nevertheless. It is a wonder fully graceful garment and to that fact is of course, due its countless possibili- ties. Unless a thing is inherently beautiful it never takes a permanent hold. We have fancies galore and WIG have fashions that come and that go. but when any one remains and is uti- lized by designers as foundation for such variety of results as this one, we may make up our minds that it is in- hercntly good and inherently bcauti- full.
 
 z Just now we sec good many models with drapery over the hips. because Tn one way or another we must bow to that edict which calls for breadth at that point. but it will be gracefully handled while at the same time the chemise idea will remain. Today, at an opening was seen a really exquisite afternoon gown of wool ier- scy that is serving so many uses. It was an exquisite shade of dove grey combined with real coral red, and you could hardly think of anything more lovely. The sides of the gown were of the coral and the trimmings, and the front and back were of the grey. The description sounds little crude. One must see such color combination to really enjoy it. but it is the best that words will do. A lovely one of filet net is embroidered with gold and silver threads until it is rich enough to belong to the Medevial period. There are gowns of crepe with lower portions of satin and there are gowns of soft

RENEE To REV. j. T.. BOOTH
OF EXAMINING BOARD.
Camp Funston. October .. 1917.

Camp Funston. October 9, 1917.
My Dear Mr.. Booth: After a very
pleasant journey we all arrived i'm
camp. safe and sound at about 9
o'clock yesterday morning and were
Immediately introduced to the cold
showers and given our first allot-
ment of wearing apparel. II was
quite necessary TO look at each other
a full half a dozen times then in or
der to make certain who ms was. for
oh, how one appearance changed
with a pair of overalls and a jumper
one, two to four sizes too large and
weighted down with an extra heavy
pair of shoes. However, everybody
seemed happy and wore a smile. and
not "A long, sad face did | see until
afternoon when we received our first
incubation. Then one could hear an
occasional sigh and hear a few words
to the effect that BE il ever so hum
BILE. there is no place like home"
Blu today all are cheerful again and
have started drilling and learning the
first few fundamentals that make a
soldier.
On our way down we were receiv-
ed everywhere with a welcome and
cheer. At Woonsocket We were met
at the station by Mayor Dalton. who
conducted us, together with the home
guard and those selected men who
were to leave from Sanborn county,
up the street, where a short address
IA given. He then gave US tickets
to the movies. though many of the
fellows preferred the dance at the
auditorium. Leaving Woonsocket at
about i a. m, in a special Pullman,
We reached Sioux City at $50, where
we took breakfast served us in boxes
a short way from the station. When
we arrived at the station we made a
second stop and there the Red Cross
society presented us with baskets of
fruit. tobacco, papers and postcards.
We did not reach Omaha until $3.50
hat afternoon, some three or four
hours late, but We were we'll cared
for even though late, and we ate
luncheon at the Loyal hotel. At Lin
coin, u next stop, the boys all quite
agreed that they were received like
princes. Cadets from the State uni
versity escorted us to the Lindell no.
tel, where on entering we passed be-
tween two rows of beautiful girls
who pinned carnations and roses on
us as we passed by. All during that
meal the band from the university
played excepting for a brief interval
when w. j. Bryan gave us an inspir-
ing address. This was our last stop
until we arrived here, on a train
made up of IA ears and containing
some 800 or 400 hundred, practically
from South Dakota.
II is now very lei $50, when all
lights are to be extinguished and ev-
erybody turns in" hence / must
make a hasty close. Should you get
an opportunity, please thank again
the ladies of the Red Cross of Mad
ison for making everything so much
more comfortable at the time of our
entrainment. All the boys request
this, and by the way, / almost forgot
to say that all Is were placed in the
same company and live in the same
barracks, namely that of Battery ID,
341st field artillery.
Respectfully,
Elmer w. Lawrence.

HIGHEST Telephone Pole.

The tallest telephone pole In the
world is where the wires of the Pacific
States Telephone company cross the
Chehales river, near Aberdeen, Wash.
For some time pole 90 feet high was
sufficient TO keep the wires clear OF the
river craft. But the increasing passage
of ocean steamers made higher pole
necessary, and new one 1873 feet high
was set up. This pole Is one single
stick of Washington fir. IS inches at
the butt and inches at the top. The
pole weighs 5000 pounds.
The stick was cut at point IL miles
distant and towed down the river,
where II was erected by u men using
a 12-horsepower holsting engine. For
making attachments to the pole and
raising ii a tiye-eighths steel cable was
employed, run through ten-inch steel
blocks. The pole was set u feet In
the ground and guyed with four steel
stranded wires at the top and also
guyed about 40 feet from the top with
four-SlXteenths-lnc wires.

What Monarchs Like to Eat.

Good old roast beef Is the most IA
vorite dish of the queen of Holland.
She is also partial to mutton. The car
of Russia has great fondness for all
kinds of fish, especially Goldfish, sea-
oned with oil, pepper and garlic. He
once remarked to a late president Of
France that he could "eat codlings
twice day"
The kings of Italy and Spain both
have weaknesses for sweets, such as
whipped cream, chocolate and tarts.
King Victor Emmanuel is also fond Of
the Italian national dish, called pollen
Ia. This Is a kind of meal porridge.
The late pope considered polenta to be
his favOrite dish. He was an exceed
ingly plain eater. The remarkably
aged emperor of Austria has craving
for the peculiar dish of calves tongues
in red wine. The German emperor Ia
exceptionally susceptible to the temp
tation of well-buttered toast.

OLD TREE STILL PRODUCTIVE
Planted by Governor Endicott Nearly
Three Centuries Ago, II Bears
Yearly Crop Of Fine Fruit.

Thought to be the oldest fruit tree
In this country, the pear tree planted
$50 years ago by Governor Endicott Of
Massachusetts Is still thriving well and
bearing yearly crop of fruit of the
first quality. John Endicott purchased
a large tract of land at DanyerspOrt,
then known as the southern section Of
Salem village The estate afterward
became known as the Endicott plan
tation. Governor Endicott, being a
great lover of sugar pears, sent to
relative in Dorchester, England, for
pear tree. After several months the
tree arrived, and at that time few peo-
pie ever believed that the tree would
live, as the roots had become very dry.
The governor, believing that he, bet
ter than anyone else, was the proper
man to plant the tree, 1ourneyed to the
plantation and there, In sheltered
spot close to the Danvers river dug
hole and carefully planted 1t. For
many years he cared for II himself,
and 1t was not long before Ii became
the most famous of all fruit trees of
Massachusetts. This year 1t Is esti-
mated that there were close to 5000
pears on the tree. Few people who
visited Danvers missed the opportunity
of seeing this wonderful tree, which
was carefully guarded by picket
fence. The tree Is made up of three
distinct trunks, which are partially de-
cayed, although the upper section of
the tree is quite healthy in appearance.
Endicott himself used to relate that
the tree supplied a sufficient number
Of pears to supply the entire Salem
village which in those days numbered
less than one hundred inhabitants.
When Governor Endlcott died in the
year 1865 special mention was made
In his viii In regard to the famous tree,
which was left In care of his daughter.
