Wauseon was gladdened Sunday by
the presence of two of our boys in
khaki, Frank Huber and Bert Roddy,
both of whom managed to get short
furlough and improved the opportun-
ity. Gale Dennis is home on a five
day furlough. Sergeant R. J. Bisson-
nette was at Camp Perry all last week
but failed to get a furlough long
gret to have to chronicle the death
of the first of our Fulton county boys

titus Kemp died with spinal meningi-
tbs. Mr.. Kemp was a Swanton boy,
and his friends and family have our
sincere sympathy.

when employed in active service. The
Act which was approved Oct. 6, 1917,
and is now in force as law, fills a
15-page pamphlet and a copy may
doubtless be procured by any one who
may desire it by sending request fol-
same to the Hon John S. Shook
House Of Representatives, Washing
ton, D. C.
The law seems to US to be carefully
drawn and to provide for such of our
soldiers and sailors as may be dis.
abled by wounds or disease while in
the SERVICE, and also for those de-
pendent upon them in case of theil
disability or death.
The law seems to US a wise, hu.
name and just one and altogether
worthy of such nation and govern
ment as our own.

POCKET is IN VOGUE AGAIN
After Brief LulI II Makes Appear
ance on Evening Gowns AZ Well
as on Sports Clothes.

The majority Of experts confidently
predicted the end of pockets last win
ter, and for a while there was 81 no.
ticeable absence of them. The dress
makers thought that there was nothing
new to be found in these appendageS,
but the late spring season brought
them out in full force again, and q
good many new ideas seem to have
been discovered for their summer
vogue.
They do not limit their appearance
to sports clothes, but have become a
smart bit of trimming on evening
gowns. In the latter capacity they are
made of colored tulle heavily threaded
with jewels, and on one especially good
gown they are carried like small buck
cts by a long rope of brilliants that
passes around the neck.
There are pockets that drOop and
pockets that are squarely placed across
the material in a military manner.
There are pockets that are shocked,
quilted, embroidered and soutached.
On white wool jersey skirts there are
large pockets trimmed in the peasant
manner of applying a design in bright
colored cloth with a buttonhole stitch.

coat, for instance, is not practical at
all, but Is very good TO see, combined
with navy-blue tricotine. The cape
ties with a black silk bow at the
throat, just below the outstanding pique
collar, and repeats this effect at the
belt of black silk. 1t finishes in a
point at the back.

PARIS WOMEN WEAR BROGANS
Tongue, Come Into Fashion In
French Metropolis.

From Paris comes word that the low
shoes, which well-dressed women of
that city are wearing. are especially
meant to go with the new length of
skirt which the majority of the French
couturiers have advocated.
Many Of the new shoe fashions have
been taken from those worn by ac-
tresses in successful plays running
during the winter at French theaters.
Some of these include low-cut shoes
tied with wide ribbons, the loops stand
ing out In Louis XIII fashion. Others
suggest the interlacing ankle strap for
the low shoes. Then there are colonial
pumps, which seem always to be in
good style, particularly as the accom-
paniment of tie tailored type of cos
tune.
The Scotch brogan with its over
hanging tongue is said to be coming
into fashion among some of the
Partisan women who advocate distinc-
tion In their shoes. The perforated
decorations of the Scotch brogan have
been copied in some of the high shoes.

FOR RAINY DAY IN SUMMER
One-Piece Dress of Dark Material Of
fers Solution to Problem Confront
ing Many Women.

Everyone wishes to dress as c0mfor-
tably cool as possible when the ther-
mometer is doing its best to register
as far above the nineties as possible.
Lightweight clothes, light colors and
sensible styles are necessary for sum-
mer comfort There are days, how
ever, when q light dress looks out of
place, and yet the atmosphere is so
full of humidity that one must have
something cool. The one-piece dress of
n dark color is the solution to this
problem which coInronts every wom-
an. but Is more serious for the woman
who goes to business every day. Dark
blue is perhaps the color that will be
most welcomed, although dark green
Is a close second. There should be at
least one or two frocks of this color
In every summer wardrobe.
AS for the materials of which to
make them, there are many suggeS-
tions to give. Vo.le is very wise Sc
