Former Keota Pastor Comes From
Evans to Perform Ceremony


Colo, were united in marriage at

extending over period of twelve years.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.

| The bride is we'll known thruout this
part of the county, having taught

during the term just closed at Grover,
where she was Instructor in music in
the entire school, and of English and
German in the high school. She is a
graduate of the College of Liberal
Boulder, of the class of 1916. Much of
the work for her B. A. degree was done
thru the extension course, and by
attendance at the spring semesters of
the university, following winters of
teaching while residing upon her
homestead. During 1915 she was ac-
lively engaged as editor and publisher
of The Keota News; and that summer
was called upon to deliver an address

tion, meeting in San Francisco June 20
to July Z. She had been in some degree
identified with newspaper work for
several years before coming to Keota.
The groom is graduate of the
Colorado School of Mines, Golden, of
the class of 1913; and since graduation

from a land where only the stout Of
heart and the strong can live. To
these he gives freely of his own

he takes what little strength they have.

days and a night they had no chance
to get out to look for food and some
of them were getting very, very faint
with hunger. To add to their misery
they were having hard work to keep
from freezing. You know the warmest
coat of fur or feathers will not keep
out the cold If there is no heat from
within, and it is food that makes heat
within.
Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel and
Chatterer the Red Squirrel had nuts

cred folks shivered and shook. for their
stomachs were empty and they knew
that If they could not get out soon
to get food they would die. Even Gran

perate. And all the time rough Brother
North Wind roared and howled end

TOO. LONG IN HAND.

Like a Japanese artist, the woman
and fashion her own accessories must
know how to make every line and every
stitch count. This is the talent that
the French women possess more than
we. 1t is the talent that q few Of your
friends possess, no doubt, who seem to
you to have the magic talent of making
everything they touch look smart and
attractive. But many women really
seem to think that the longer they fuss
over such tasks as the trimming Of a
hat or remodeling of blouse the surer
they are Of making a success Of it.
Once a little lady who was not at all
was quite devoid OF any natural talent
in that direction made up her mind that
to make a success in home millinery,
just as in making a success in any
thing else. one had first of all to make
the effort, and she adopted for her
motto in this little millinery enterprise
of hers: IF at first you don't succeed,
try, try again" So she sat down with
the hat frame she wished to cover. a
generous supply of silk and velvet, sew
eral ornaments and collection of silk.

was making-didn't seem to take the
shape she had intended. She turned it

ripped and sewed again.
After she had worked about two
hours on this millinery task her little
Austrian maid-who before becoming
a domestic in this country had worked
in millinery shop in Vienna-chanced
to go to her room to announce lunch
con. Very politely she regarded the
array of materials her employer had
spread around her, and with the keen
est of eyes she looked at the poor lit
tie bundle of materials she had in her
hand.
''Ah, madame" she said with shrug
of her Austrian shoulders that was al
most Partisan. ''it is like biscuits and
the pie crust with millinery--it must
not be too long in hand"
And. then. remembering that any fur
Their criticism might not be welcome
from a maid, che went back to her task
below stairs.
AS a matter Of fact. the suggestion
came too late. The hat had already
been too long IN hand. It was past
redemption. But whenever this little
lady attempts to trim a hat or make
biscuits or pie crust. either for that
matter, she remembers the admonition
not to leave the work too long in hand.

Hats for Evening.

The edict of the French government
that hats and simple gowns must be
worn in the evening in public has al
ready brought about the fashion in
this country. Milliners are delighted
over the change. They are offering all
manner of brilliant and expensive hats
to wear with evening gowns. 1t has
been a half dozen years or more since
this fashion was accepted in America.
Today one sees more than half the
fashionable women in the restaurants,
in the evening, adopting it. The ma
jority of these evening hats are of sill
yer tulle or bullion cloth.

was no knowing when they would have
another chance, and they must have food
If they would keep warm. And because It

they wondered with sinking hearts how

Mrs. Peter Rabbit were glad to crawl
down in a certain old hole in the heart
of the dear Old Brier Patch. where they

Brother North Wind Knows No
Pity.

The wind bIow4th hard; the wind bioweth cold;
Pity the hungry; pity the old.
Down from the far Northland swept
rough Brother North Wind and he roared
and he shouted, and the sound of his
coming was heard while yet he was a
long way Off. and all who heard it shiv-
cred. Yes. sir, all the little people Of the
Green Forest and the Green Meadows
shivered and shook at the sound. That
is, all those did who were not asleep like
Johnny Chuck and Buster Bear and Bob
by Coon. To them the coming OF rough
Brother North Wind meant nothing at
all, but to the others, those who had to
go about every day looking for food, 1t
meant a great DEAL a great deal of DIS
comfort. and, perhaps, some suffering.
You see, they knew that he was driving
before him a great storm, and storm
at this time of year means snow and sleet
and ice.

There is tendency in the newest

nate the girdle at the waist line and keep
to the straight lines Of the middle ages,
but it is not advisable that any one
should indulge in these glorified MILDLY
jumpers unless youth and siimness go
hand in hand. To the young much is
permitted. and one might add that to
the middle-aged and old too much is
permitted in the way Of fashions today,
but it is part of the evolution Of wom-

The belt should be there. even If 1t does
not confine the waist, but only loosely
defines it.

a combination of flesh pink chiffon and
blue taffeta embroidered in silver. The
chiffon is used as a lining which ex-
tends into a yoke and full sleeves to the
elbow. The taffeta is cut like jumper.
