1 Whole regiments of barefoot beaus"
would be required to squire properly
! the host of mid summer Queens in
/ Calicoi"
| A material once so despised and re-
/ jected as to be relegated to the below
/ stairs" region of mother hubbards and
kitchen aprons, is now, by the fortunes
! of war, elevated to the place of honor
| in miladys summer wardrobe.
| And the marvel of it is that no noble
effort of the designers in the way Of
delicate colors and intricate patterns
has been necessary to raise calico to
| its present high estate Calico came
right into the limelight on its own un-
pretentious merits. Indeed, the more
old-fashioned its desia1. the calivo-er
its frank colors and Quaint pattern, the
more popular 1t became.
The old, old, old pattern of tiny
white springs and flowers on a black
background is one Of the favorites. 1t
centuries UP visions of our country
gIandmothers in a frenzy of apple
butter making. And the mustard col
ored calico with tiny yellow and black
flowers brings mental picture of old
Aunt Sally, stiff-starched and white
aproned, knitting and rocking through
long summer afternoons. Besides the
black sprigged and the mustard color
there are grays, and green's, and blues,
and pinks, in color effects that once
we should have voted rather awful"
but which now appear, too smart and
quaint for anything"
So the girls and matrons of now-a-
days appear again in the gay cotton
gowns of other days-but with such
a difference-in price!
Mother and grandmother bought the
best quality of calico on the market
for eight and ten cents a yard. The
present summer has seen such de-
man for the precious stuff, and such a
mighty increase in the price of all cot
ton materials that calico--plain calico
of the eight and ten-cent quality, now
sells at thirty cents a yard n the
twenty eight-inch width and at thirty
five and forty cents a yard for yard

Mr.. Reed, and Helen could feel the
controlled wrath in his voice.

Now this shall pc the great reward

Like sun that bursts through thunder,

And these shall be OF one blood

 "Johnny' Pershing, as he was known in those days-and as he still is known by his old neighbors-gave no sign of possessing any particular talent. He wasn't the bright boy at school He showed no special bent for any one thing.
 But go back to Laclede, the little town in Missouri where Pershing passed most of his youth, and talk with his boyhood friends and those of the elder neighbors who are still living Though they can tell you nothing but simple. homely little in cidents of Johnny yet somewhere in the course of their talk they will all say, in one form or another, he was the sort of boy that sticks at anything he once takes hold of
