A shadow lace window in a square
new motor veil adjusted to the small
gold set with pearls matching the pair
ment work has been stopped on ac-
count of cold weather, and there are
ever so many people who are needing
! temporary help. Dfle Elks are mighty
good fellows, and high in favor with
Topeka people, and that is one reason
their efforts in benevolent causes al
ways get the support of the Topeka
public.

| His name is F. Herbert Reid, but
better known in Topeka as Bert Reid.
What started me to float this informa-
| ton was a story in one of the Kansas
/ City dailies that some burglars of am
billions for style had relieved Mr..
Reid of a half a hundred silk shirts
valued at ten dollars each. The ruth
less wretches overlooked four in a
box and ten more that were in safe
keeping at the laundry.
| Now be it known that Mr.. Reid is
a regular fellow, even if his stock of
| wearing apparel does remind one of a
medieval monarch who laved his
| face of mornings in altar of roses and
made his breakfast of pheasantS'
tongues. l have always had a private
notion that Solomon's press agent saw
double at times, but the history max
ing penman neglected saying anything
about silk shirts in the old king
| wardrobe. The other good dressers
we know of have not more than a pal
try dozen silk shirts, even John Drew
and Manuel Mora. A new commander
is at fashions helm. and his name is
! Reid-Bert Reid. The girls tell me
he is handsome and ever SO nice You
know how they say it, swallowing a
bonbon.-The Independent, K. C.
The new skirt, a long skirt that has
no turning, falls straight from hip to
ankle. says Vanity Fair. Not all the
designers favor this style that Worth
the skirts are longer, but everywhere
line more closely defined. The close
effect may not survive the season.
but it is one of the few new things.
So far there is no evidence of the
return of the high collar. Every little
while for the past twelve months, a
high collar has tirnidly' reared itself
above its fellows and even more timid-
ly subsidized. But in the meantime we
: have permitted ourselves to be com
Portable in collariess frocks, and i
some kindly mask is needed for toe
thin neck, we hide behind a shelterine
necklace.
Just what is to become of the pocke1
is still a matter OF CONJECTURE 1t llds
grown out of all proportion to the
dress which exists sometimes only to
iprovide the pocket with raison d etre
1t has stolen fur from the cuffs; il
has appropriated embroideries, and 4
mas even encroached upon the girdke
1t gathers to itself the sleeve. Wht
will deliver us from this pocket?
