''Them Good Old School Days Again

The members of the Shakespeare club donned their school dresses of long ago and with shining faces and tripping step they gathered at the home of Mrs. c. c. Harvey just as the gong sounded for the opening school session. Here they found their new teacher, Mrs. Honn, waiting to unfold the mysteries of school life to them. What a picturesque sight they pre- sented! The girls with their winsome faces and smartly perked bows and the boys prim and neat. Nothing W;
 ommitted to bring back the school of lon gago. The water bucket in the corner--the dipper from which all drank, the slates, washed in the old fashioned way-all would have shock ed the present day scholar. But what good time they all had! And at noon, each filed out into the hall, se- cured his little dinner bucket and re- tired to the living room where, before roaring fire they enjoyed the dainty repast Highly complimentary were the comments of the guests as they bid their hostes sadieu, for all voted

The tunic may be faced back with the white satin of the collar and cuffs. All the stitching is done in white, an especially clever idea, as it does away with any extra trimming. The skirt is narrow at the lower edge, and the sleeves are very tight, two absolutely necessary features of the Mode 1918. Coats That Masquerade As Dresses.
 Some of the smartest shops are showing very clever coats which ap- pear at first glance to be dresses. There are tunic coats made of two materials, and some are in redingote style with slightly Empire waistlines. One of the most noticeable things is the absence of the pocket, that inn portant member of society last year. Belts and collars follow the prevailing mode in dresses, and the materials used are those usually relegated to the province of dresses, far lighter in weight than the material thought ne- cessary for a coat, hitherto.
 Knitting a La Mode.
 These days, when every one knits, the knitting bag that is bit differ ent is the one most sought after. h. deed, there is quite a knitting bag code at present! If one knits for the Red Cross, one may have bag with the scarlet cross on it. The sewing for the French wounded" may be car ried in a gay bag of the tricolor, and, of course, there are any number of at- tractive bags made to hold the drab and blue sweaters for our own boys. If one knits for someone one knows personally, one can knit bit of red, white and blue into the end of the scarf or sweater, thus giving an indi- vidual touch to the article. Knitting

Black and White Wrapped-On Dress of Silk Gingham.

The new materials lend themselves nicely to the limited yardage. The cot ton serges and gaberdines are very good looking, and of course, the silks are wonderful There is a new silk, patterned after the gingham which en- joyed such popularity last year, and which promises to hold its own this year, too. The weave of this silk is identical to the weave of gingham, and the quaint patterns are the same. For the early Spring dress, this material is splendid, as it will wear exceedingly well.
The Coconino sun., 1918-03-01
Satin and GeOrgette Crepe.

For the dressy afternoon dress, there is nothing that quite takes the place of satin and sheer material com bined. Indeed Dame Fashion has set her seal of approval on the separate satin skirt, though costume that is "tied together"-in other words, that has touch of the skirt material on the waist-is considered better for more formal occasions. Note the in teresting panel-vestee on this becom- ing little dress. The ends are left free and may be crossed over either way. This panel is braided, another straw that shows which way the winds of Spring are blowing, for braiding is one of the most favored of trimming ideas.

Senior Class Play.

The Seniors are receiving compli- ments for their splendid rendition of their play, "The Man From Home.
 Miss MacAfee has succeeded in plac- ing these plays somewhat above the standard and the result Monday night justified the response given it by the large audience.
 Decidedly Hoosier, it suffered none in the interpretation put into it by the Indiana lawyer, its most prominent figure-a part splendidly taken by George Smith.
 Miss Fay Smith played well the role of the expatriated girl, seeking new fields to conquer.

The Dress That Requires No
 Fastening.

At present, it is quite the vogue to have ones dress wrapped-on, and the one illustrated here is splendid ex- ample of the simplicity of this style. Made of silk gingham, in stunning black-and-white check, the dress can be closed at either the right or the left side. There are only two fasten- ings necessary, the buttons that hold it at the side front. The upper half of the front gore is made of lining, to conserve the material, and that is one reason why such smart frock can be made from only four yards of silk.

THE ADVENT OF THE
 WRAPPED-ON DRESS

There is something quite wonderful in the way America is coming to the front in every line. Undaunted by circumstances, she accepts the condi- tions made necessary by war, and makes the best of them. Anything that spells economy, that means sav- ing to help our government win the war, is eagerly considered by the pa- triotic women of the United States.

Conservative America.

"They say" abroad that we always go into things so hard, putting our whole soul into the thing of the mo- ment, and it is true. The fashions of the present day prove this fact. Con servation dresses, frocks that require the minimum of wool, are the order of the day. And yet they are not frump- ish, for they are in good taste, simple and becoming.
