the food administration, agreed to
expedite the handling Of repairs for
machines, so that little trouble is an
ticipated to future threshing opera
tons. 1t was decided to establish
men at each depot to watch express
shipments and to see that threshing
repairs go forward promptly, and
shippers hereafter will route their
own supplies.
While the meeting was called to
discuss this question. 1t developed
into a conference relative to careless
handling by express messengers of
perishable food, such as cream, fruits

many wastes along this line for
which the express companies are re-
sponsible, and 1t was agreed that
hereafter a determined effort will be
made to reduce the loss.

STILL A FAvORITE
Straight ChemiseIike Garment
Has Not Been Abandoned.
May Be Prominent Among the Fall
Styles, According to a Recent
Statement From Paris.

The frock here shown is a copy of
one of the latest Paris models, de-
signed by a famous French costumer
and brought over by one of the fore
most American importers. 1t was de-
veloped, as originally shown, in white
and navy satin, with embroidery in a
dull, rich red. This frock was n of
the surprises of the French showing,
a fashion writer states, as it served
to put a question mark after the re-
iterated statement that straight line,
chemise-type garments were out of
the running this year, and that a waist
line indication about this frOck is the
result of the fabric combination, and
certainly that is not sufficient to make
one blind to the fact that it is a
straight ~chemiselike garment, touch
ing the figure practically only at the
shoulders.
This may possibly be a %forerunner
of what fall will show in the lineup
of clothes, if the statement of recent
date from Paris that straight lines will
be the thing for fall may be taken as
correct.
The gown shown may be made a
s~lipover, if desired; but it would be
easier to fashion and more easily put
on If fastened in the center back, and

The Pie-Eating
Party
~
By ANN sTEvENS
Copyright. 1918. by the Mcclure Newspa-
per Syndicate.)

That he was an alien in New York,
Mr.. Eli Pendleton always had borne
in upon him definitely when it came
to ordering breakfast. Still, ~pie-eating
with him was bred in his New Eng
land bones and to this deli
cacy at the first meal of the day just
because he was obliged to spend TWO
or three weeks on business in that city
never occurred to him.
On this memorable trip to New York
he had gone to a newly completed ana
palatlal hotel that he had new gone
to before. His reason, if the truth
must be told, was because that dis
tinctly charming young woman named
Miss Lancaster, whom he had watched
with interest in the Pullman a com
ing on to New York from the west
and to whom he had eventually beer
introduced by a business acquaintance
who also knew her, gave orders to the
taxi man to drive her there.
"Drive me to the Metropolitan
please, and when you come back take
these baggage checks and have my
boxes sent over" Miss Lancaster had
then given the taxi mar quite a hand
full Of baggage checks, and as Ell Pen
dieton raised his hat to her and
watched the ~retreating taxicab he also
made up his mind to stop" at the
Metropolitan.
That was how it happened that he
was in strange surroundings, and why,
when he went to the dining DON the
next morning there were walters
whose faces he had never seen before
and an entirely new head waiter to
break into his Yankee tastes.
AS soon as he had ordered oatmeal
and pancakes and sausages and coffee,
he said to the waiter: "And a piece OF
apple pie" That was the order that
