The Fashion of 1918
Her hat was plainly old-fashioned.
The ribbon that adorned it had evil
IDENTIFY been cleaned and pressed with
a hot iron. Her tailor-made suit tho
well fitting, was faded in color and
made in the mode of the year before
last; but she walked down Fifth ave-
nue. among the best dressed women in
the world with swing of the skirts
and noble condescensicn of glance
that attracted my attention. / watch
ed her with interest. Was she a
great painter, authoress or poet, puff
ed up with her well deserved fame
No, her face was not familiar. She
was neither young nor beautiful, yet
why the grand manner as of one
above the common herd? Suddenly
she paused beside me to cast an in
different glance at dazzling array
of diamonds in shop window, and
then | discovered the secret of her
proud bearing. What need had she
of fine clothes? She was dressed in
the height of fashion of 1918. On
the breast of her shabby jacket she
wore little service bar and on that
bar were three blue stars.-Isabel

A Family Reunion
A visit to the home of ones child
hood after long years of absence is
fraught with both happiness and sor-
row. Yesterday was one long to be
remembered in the annals of events
in the family of DIR. and Mrs. w. M.
Richardson, who journeying along the
road together, have reached the ripe
ages of eighty eight and seventy
three years. The day was spent at
the old family homestead, "Hill Crest"
near Boardman. with the families of
Mr.. j A. Bowler, Ocala. Mr.. Purdy
Richardson, Boardman, Mr.. Carlton
Price and children and grandchild of
West Palm Beach, and DR.. Richard
sons brother, DR.. John S. Richardson
and wife, formerly of North Carolina.
The dear old family homestead, which
thirty years ago was the scene of
many happy events, was again reson-
ant with the sound of happy chill
dren's voices, as the day was turned
over to the pleasure of the grand
children. A picnic lunch was enjoyed
at noon under the spreading oaks,
planted by the good doctors own hand
long years ago. The only regret was
| that their daughter, Mrs. Price, who
as yet has not been able to leave West
,, Palm Beach. and other members of
| the family and by no means least is
the eldest grandson. Marshall Bou-
vier, were unavoidably absent.
Miss Irene Fletcher, who is the
guest of her aunt, Mrs. E. G. Peek,
was the honoree at delightful pic
mic party yesterday afternoon at Sill
yer Springs. Those in the party
| were DR.. and Mrs. Peek, Mrs. w. P.
Preer, Virginia Peek and Mary Roess,
who is the guest of her grandpar-
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. R. l.. Anderson.
Quite a large party from Mcintosh
motored to Silver Springs Thursday
afternoon and enjoyed the bathing
and boating afforded at that popular
resort.
Those who have not read Mr.. Mase-
fields book, entitled, "Gallipol,"
should by all means do so, it being a
splendid descriptive and historical
sketch of that wonderful effort of
the British army. 1t is a classic and
one of the few literary works dealing
/ with the war that has made it's ap.
pearance since the beginning of the
| gigantic conflict.
/ A sure remedy is said to have been
discovered for ants which are af-
fiicted with desire to get into kitch-
en- cabinets and other places where
they are not wanted. The recipe is
simply this: Take coffee grounds
which have been used, dry them and
spread in places where ants have
troubling, and they will bother no
longer, so it is said And surely this
is a simple and inexpensive treat
ment.
