as the Best of All Hot Weather
Fabrics.
New York, August 1o-All the common
garden Varieties of food, fabric and other
necessities of life have leaped upward
in price since the cry of economy start
ed. This situation puzzles the average
woman, it depresses the average man,
and it raises cry which might we'll
come out of Macedonia, as to where
the prices of commodities rise to those
of luxuries the moment the public wants
to economic by using them.
Rice was argued as substitute for
potatoes, and instantly rice shot up in
price. Bingham was offered everywhere
as a substitute for chiffon and taffeta.
and now it has become almost as ex-
pensive as silk. 1t would take pages of
a newspaper to give a correct summary
of the promising way in which the or
binary commodities of life have become
the luxuries of existence. merely through
the channel of demand and supply.
THE PRICE OF GINGHAM
To those who are pessimistic, there is
strong belief that we will soon be at
the irreducible minimum of materials,
because whatever we want instantly
puss-in-the- corner today. If we all jump
to using silk tomorrow, then the price
of it will so beyond what we can af-
ford.
So far gingham has not risen in price
to the heights that prohibit it from COM
mon everyday usage, but vast va
riety Of its patterns have gone out OF
existence because the supply was in
stantly used up when the cotton goods
became fashionabl.
1t Is not easy to get the colors one
wants. but large majority Of women
have chosen black and white in prefer
ence to colors and have taken up blue
and white for morning wear as substi-
tute for the more varied checks and
plaids of the early season.
When one is fortunate enough to get
a good design in pink, yellow or bright

The revival of Irish crochet lace has
come about with the extraordinary de-
mand for cotton gowns and this fact
has urged the return of various tyres
of handmade trimmings that were espe-
cially used by the southern women for
generations.
THE SURPLICE FRONT
Someone started a Bingham gown that

DENVER TAKES WEEK OFF

No one seems to know exactly what
has become of Silver Dollar Tabor. But

little sad as she shook her head and
said IT heard she went out east some

Besides pioneer day, which is always
celebrated in Elitch's gardens, there is
only one other time each year when
Denver reverts to the wild and woolly.
This is in January during stock show
week. Then you see roundup of the
genuine thing in COW punchers.
They come from Tin Cup and Lords
burg and Powderhorn; from Wildcat and
Devils Gulch and Black Canyon. They
come in chaps and flannel shirts. They
come in $1,000 suits and $1,000 fur coats.
They come on burro back and in loco
mobiles
The Hotel Albany takes up it's carpets
and installs commodious cuspidors. Shop
keepers remove the chiffon shirtwaists
from their show windows and make dis
plays of Stetsons and lively silk shirts
instead.
The lights on Curtis streets white tile
movie palaces blaze a million kllowatts
more brilliantly than usual And beauty
unafraid walks smilingly in the DINNER
thoroughfares
For one brief week Denver forgets it's
grownup dignity. Those who have am
pie bootlegs share up with those who
lack. The police department gets cin-
der in it's eye. The newspapers cut down
their society columns and print punch
full paragraphs in place of polite pif-
file.

Lord Ogilvy, who writes for the Post,
forgets the dignity demanded of belted
earl and reminisces of the dear. dead
days when, tired from O tour of the tav-
erns he used to be driven restfully

goes with whoop and zip, and Pixies

"Denvers a mile high. 1t belongs to

always be a Mecca for those who love
the heights and are strong enough to
fight their way to them.
II have loved Denver for more than 80
years and tried to make for her spot
of art and beauty and such friendly

Denver always to be the place where the
