Wonderful Collection 'of Evening

20 Per Gent During Three

liberal discount at 4 sale of evening
gowns M. & X nave hit upon the plan
Of making this sale doubiy attractive
by Offering their handsomest creations
al twice 20 per cent or 40 per cent.
This is generosity persoaified just
at the heighth Of the season when
plans are being made for Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas festivities. If tho
maids and matrous of the tri-cities
should go TO the greatest style CEN
ters and seek the most exclusive shops
they would not find anything that ex-
celled the lovely assemblage of dane
ing frocks and evening gowns which
VI. & X. expert buyers chose for their
tri-ciiy patrons.
Surely nothing could be more ex-
quisite than the wonderful gowns Of
chiffon velvet which are decidedly the
last word in evening gowns this sea-
son and they share general favoritism
with lustrous satins and lovely tat
fetas which are fashioned into SIMMER
gowns or dancing frocks.
II you adore blue, as the average
person does, you'll love the charming
gown OF sapphire blue mingled with
gold tinge OF two-toned material.
Draped gracefully at the side its only
trimming Is a rope Of pink baby roses
and forget-me- nots that adorns one
side OF the skirt
Dinner gowns suitable for both for
NAL and informal wear-for they are
simple, rich and admirably suited to
the war time in which we are living

Hooks and Tape Put Stop To Noisy
Shade.

The tapping of the window shade.
when the sash is raised and the shade
lowered, is serious annoyance TO
nervous people, who are generally
light sleepers. If the shade is raised
the light may waken one too early, but
ventilation is absolutely necessary to
health.
The way TO prevent tapping is very
simple. Screw two little brass cup
hooks, one on each side of the window
frame, opposite each other about a
foot from the sill AT night tie broad
tape across the open window, from
one hoop to the other, as sailors say,
"taut.s Screw a third hook in the
holding below the sill, exactly in the
center.
Pull down the shade over the tape,
and tie the cord to the lower hook.
The shade viii be held firmly in
place and a peaceful nights sleep is
assured.
