Montenegro intends to visit Presi-
dent Wilson as soon as possible. The

tonomy independence and customs"

Charges Abandonment.

{. S. Williams filed suit in the
district court yesterday against her
husband, Ellis Williams, for di-
vorce. She alleged in her petition
that they were married June 10,

gross neglect OF duty in that he
failed to provide her with the ne
ccssites OF life; that he was guilty
OF extreme cruelty toward her IN
that he cursed and abused her and in
the month OF January, 1918, he aban-

the fact that men Of the class sign

evidence OF the need OF it.
He told them he wanted to con-

its performance and the candor with
which they made their report, lie
told them to carry on the work they
have in hand; that they had been

said they were frequent, almost con-
tinuous and called their attention to
the fact that under their oath they
were compelled to make inquiry in

and subject to punishment.
He said the present term OF dis

The following, from Important
Items" published by the Southwestern
division of the American Red Cross,
are facts that are interesting to all
the chapters:
Knitting.
1.-THE president has called out anoth-
er army Of men. This means hundreds
of thousands more sweaters-millions
of socks. Many knitters have slack
ened their work with the coming of
spring. Fall seems so far off that 1t
is natural to think there is plenty Of
time to get ready for it-but this train
of reasoning is perilous. The task Is
a big one. Only the steady day-by-day
work will count-not the squirt of en-
thusiasm when the pressure comes.
Utilize every moment. Garry your
knitting bags on the street cars or the
farm wagons. or wherever you are.
There will be a greater need of knitted
articles next winter than there was
last. 1t is true that yarn has been
hard to get. But much of this short
age can be overcome If none of 1t is
wasted for any purpose for which a
substitute can be found. Let everyone
who can get any Of the yarn for socks
n socks n let those who a only
get the heavy yarn knit sweaters with
out charge. An arrangement is now
under consideration for the collecting
and r%efooting Of WORT socks in order
that there may be no waste.
Chapters should knit in the follow
Ing proportions: Fol one pair wrist
let's knit n muf1er, ten helmets, so
sweaters, 100 pair socks. Our men
abroad are in constant need of socks.
Knit socks.
From now on the making of quilts

continued. No more of either Of these
will be accepted at h bureau Of sup
plies"
Food.
Preserving, canning, drying and 9TH
erwise conserving fruits and vegeta-
bles may not seem at all romantic, but
they are genuine and essential ways OF
being of real service to our country,
and that is all that counts now. They
are among the duties that lie nearest
to many m Tons of fruit go to
waste annually where no attempt Is
made to gather wild berries or save
the excess of homegrown fruits. If
they cannot be given away for can
ming, they ought to be dried or saved
in some way. 1t is up to the earnest
women in every community to help
solve food problems.

Straight and praped skirts.

There is a strong struggle going on
this early in the season between the
straight and the draped skirt. Both
are leading fashions and neither one
is new, but the ultra-smart woman in
sists that the draped skirt is better
than the straight one, and she is up
held by many of the d~ressmakers. On
the other hand, there are hundreds Of
women who say that the draped skirt
has been so featured in cheap mate
rials in low-priced gowns that 1t is
exceedingly commonplace. The strug-
gle makes skirts interesting and in
cidentally adds to the confusion Of
the season, which has turned out to
be an arena into which hundreds Of
fashions have been Unfortunately
thrown.
, 1918-06-13

There Is a vogue for organdie-and
for net and other gossamer weaves-
but most of all for organdie. It is
used for frocks and for hats and In
all its long history never appeared in
lovelier conceits. 1t is made in flower
like colors and seems to suggest
quaint styles to designers who make
the most Of It's sheer, crisp texture in
frocks that are as irresistible as
spring blossoms. Frills, narrow laces,
In ruffies and insertions, ruchings and
sashes just naturally follow in the
path of organdie and everybody
wears this utterly feminine material
from the little three-year-old to her
grandmother.
So, In a summer when everything
that looks like extravaganza is taboo,
we may expect hat womankind will
simply revel In organdie. 1t Is made
in white and all the lovely light colors
yellow, lavender, pale green, rose,
blue and pink and in plain and ross
bar weaves. Plain skirts with knee
deep or even deeper hens make place
for frills of lace or organdie, or are
left untrimmed to be worn v e lace
trimmed batiste ~petticoats. Older
women choose light green, lavender
and white. and younger one include
these with yellow, blue and rose
shades. The effect of the pale colors
over white is particularly good when
frocks are made with tunic skirts like
that shown in the picture. The very
deep hens contribute something OF
the same advantage in deepening pale
tints over white.
The lovely frock pictured in white
cross-bar organdie with a little trim
ming In bands Of thread lace on the
bodice is pretty enough to please the
most ~exacting girl graduate and sim
pie enough to belong to her. 1t has
a sash of wide taffeta ribbon. shirred

capes Float From walstooa.a.

The designer who combined the
waistcoat with the cape offered a
choice morsel In costumery. The n
gives the other grace and solidity.
The waitcoat keeps the cape from fly
ing in the face of the public, and it
protects the chest and back from
whatever chill winds may blow. And,
further, In this day of conservation of
clothes as well as material, It gives
n a chance to go without a blouse.
There r waistcoats that are nothing
but corselets, sleeveless ones, to
which are attached short or long flow
ing capes. These garments go on as
a bodice.

across the front with many short rows
OF shirrings. Very often sashes are
of organdie and narrow frills and
ruches Of 1t take the place Of lace for
trimming.
After a day in the front-line trenches
of war work, clad in overettes in the
garden, or overall aprons In Red
Cross rooms and the most matter-of-
fact street clothes for our goings and
comings, p decent regard for the opin-
ion Of mankind-with the accent on
the man-makes It a pleasant but i'm
perative duty to get into a pretty
frock. 1t is very restful to all con-
cerned.
