TO THE BOYS WHO
ARE GOING AWAY

1t Is with the deepest sense of re-
greet that we say goodby to the Boys
who are going away, and bid them
God speed on their perilous but noble
mission when we look at your manly
forms as you wave adieu to your ma
tive soil, and brave the bosom of the
troubled deep, to land on some
strange shore and there under the
Stars and Stripes, mid a shower of
shot and shell risk your life in de-
tense of our Country and our Flag.
our name and our babies, we almost
regret that it is not in place of you.
Brave men have always liked to play
with fate, take the chances and defy
peril when a principle was at stake,
and whether you return or whether
you remain the memory Of you and
your deeds will ever be green in the
hearts of your friends and country
men.
Some will return covered with new
glory to thrill our ears with the
startling story of how they charged
the enemys gates and laughed in the
very face of fate. Others will re-
main wrapped in old glory forever to
tell the same silent story Of how they
fought and bled and died that the
World might still in peace abide.
There are regrets of different ma
ture for some will leave all that is
near and dear to them, on the last
day the old Hsme will seem even
dearer than ever. the wind will sigh
more softly through the boughs of
the trees in whose shade you have.
gambled when a child ever and ever
looking up into loving mothers eyes
who watched over you and kept you
from harm, the water in the spring
will bubble clearer, and that from the
old well in the back yard will seem
cooler and better than it used to be.
The birds will sing happier, the
flowers smell sweeter and the fields
look greener on this day. The sheep
will be gentler, the cows look more
contentedly and the horses neigh
more friendly than you thought they
could, the cat will rub around you
more expectantly and the old dog
follow you and lick your hand more
often just before you go.
But the hardest battle some of you
will ever have to fight will be at the
little front gate when you leave your
old Kentucky home. For after the
trees and flowers, the birds and
fields the cat and dog, and all have
made their appeal to you it is here
that you will have to tear yourself
loose from the tiny fingers that have
tousled your hair so many times and
the little arms that have clasped your
neck so often, and press the tender
form tightly to your bosom to smoth-
OF tire great frog that has leaped to
your throat, so you can say be a good
baby while l am gone.

 Velvet seems ever to hold it's own as a winter fabric. In summer, too, in the cooler climates of the north, it is worn for jackets coatees, hats and parasols. In the wardrobes designeI for Palm Beach will be found many garments of velvet. When used in combination with Georgette crepe this material is wonder fully effective. Many gowns made up of chrameuse or crepe combined with vel vet in the same shade work out beautiful ly and less expensively than when the whole garment is fashioned from the more costly material. In making over dress of charmeuse a few yards of velvet will be found worthwhile purchase, because no other fabric imparts such lovelness of tone Where it is possible, recoIn- mend chiffon velvet, not only because of it's suppleness, but also because it will dye so beautifully later on.
 TUNIC OF VELVET AND FUR
 In this sketch I have shown you how to set velvet tunic on an old dress of charmeuse. This tunic may or may not be edged with fur. The old gown was of Burgundy red, that dark, claret-like shade is a delightful winter color and becoming to so many complexlonS The old dress was retained as a foundation and shows in the sleeves. under arm waist sections and below the tunic. A new collar of ivory charmeuse cut like a sailor collar in the back disappears in front under a bib of velvet. Two bound buttonholes and two white pearl buttons complete a stylish and unusual neck fin- ish. This bib and the large armholes should be finished with cording of vel vet. The bib and tunic are cut in one.

Where Is Gulfport !?

Gulfport is most advantageously located be- tween Mobile and New Orleans, on the Gulf of Mexico. It is thriving city of 10000 in- habitants and the county seat of Harrison county. It Is also southern terminus of the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad, which inter- sects the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and it IS located in the midst of 30-mile eec- tric car line, which touches a nearby popula- tion of over 10000. As port, the city of Gulfport forms most unusual avenue for shipping all the products which may be raised on these highly productive 10acre plots.

GOWN OF ORCHID PINK

So many occasions demand simple dinner gownt hat, while pretty and dressy, must be less decollete and less elaborate than a formal evening dress. Such gown Is this frock of orchid pink charmeuse. In this dress new georgette crepe was purchased for the long sleeves and under arm of the waist and for the straight drop skirt. Of course, if you have a gown which will serve for this founda- ton, all the better! Then your new goods may furnish the bib and overskirt.
 To make this gown the old dress of charmeuse was used for the apron-over skirt and bib. The waists of both today are worked out on similar lines. Brown marabou finishes the neck and a triangular shaped piece of char mouse weighted with a pink or silver tassel relieves the plainness across the front. This bib should be corded with it's own material. The old skirt was

cut open on each hip and the fullness pushed back and front to make the over skirt, the sides of which are cut to fall in a cascade. A shaded pink rose is fast ened to the corsage. A band of silver lace or marabou will effectively finish the sleeves and skirt This frock may also be made of cloth in darker tones com bined with charmeuse.

 December 10th, 1917, is the opening day of Mississippfs Million Dollar birthday celebra- ton.

 The Mississippi Centennial Exposition Is the hearty cooperative invitation of eighty counties of the great State to people of other sections to gather at the "MilliOn- Dollar CeIe- bratiOn" of her One Hundredth Anniversary where she will show with pride the resources of her soil and climate and the energy and enterprise of her people.

the skirt of the tunic Is slightly gored The fullness at the waist line is confined back and front with small tucks sewed on by hand The gown may fasten down the middle of the back but a heater and better closing is the underarm fastening. The tunic is finished around the bottom with band of imitation black lynx. The back of the waist has the same bib with or without buttons. The sailor collar of charmeuse reaches to the bib of velvet. This tunic is simple to make because there is no intricate cutting or fitting. Chiffon velvet may be used either length wise or crosswise of the goods. If used crosswise, double width velvet will be deep enough for the length of the tunic from bust to knee, and the outlay will consist only of sufficient material to make the tunic the proper width around the bottom.
