Old Fashioned Work ON New Paris
Gowns
Paris is fascinated with old-fash-
Toned handwork and uses it lavishly
as means of ornamentation for its
smartest gowns. FaggotiEg is espe-
cially favored and is seen on many
charming gowns. Sashes are a de-
ightful feature of many gowns and
are so universally becoming women
gladly welcome them in whatever
guise they come.
Jersey, both wool and silk continues
a POPULAR material and is even found
In smart evening gowns, but is of
course glorifed weave such as jel.
soline, a lovely silvery tissue with
shots and flashes of color that one
sees In dance frocks.
Tafeta's popularity increases and
joins forces with jersey and knitted
wool trimmings which are combined
with it in many lovely gowns. Surah
silk is another old favorite that has
come back this season.
Checks and plaids are immensely
popular. Enormous brilliant checks
and stripes great blatant awning
stripes-are to be much affected, ac-
cording to fashion advices from Paris,
and indicate reaction from the SOM
bre modes that have obtained during
the war-Exchange.

Mrs. ]. D. Macdonald and Mrs. L.
G. Ketchum, who have been visiting
in Palatka since Saturday, motored
to St. Augustine Monday with Mrs.
Herbert Macdonald to spend the day.
Mrs. E. Van Hood has returned
home from a three weeks visit to her
daughter, Mrs. w. A. Collier and fam
lily in Tuscaloosa, and was accompan-
led by her little granddaughter and
namesake, Louise Hood Collier. Mrs.
Golfers Ocala friends are glad to
learn she is rapidly recovering from
her automobile accident of three
weeks ago.
Mr.. Leroy Hodges, who made
whirlwind campaign in starting the
work of the food administration IN
this state last fail, and who acquired
a considerable number of friends,
among them many in Ocala, at the
same time, has been appointed secre-
tary to the new governor Of Virginia,
Westmoreland Davis. The appoint
ment carries with it the rank of col
onel on the governors staff. Mr..
Hodges is an earnestly efficient and
patriotic young man, and the Star
thinks that Gov. Davis has acquired
a good secretary. The Petersburg
Index-Appeal, published in Mr..
Hodges home town, says of the APP
''The appointment of the Peters
burg man was made, it is said, purely
on merit and without regard to prev
ious political affiliations. In fact, Mr..
Hodges voted for John Garland Poi
lard and Mr.. Davis knew it. This is
taken as an indication of the efforts
of the new governor to select men of
the highest type in the interest of the
state, without regard to politics. It is
certainly a distinct and well deserved
compliment to a local citizen, for
though Mr. Hodges was a citizen of
Prince George county at the time of
the election in August, he recently
transferred his registration TO his OLD
home, Petersburg"
