The aptitude for wearing clothes
in the right way has more to do with
successful dressing than the style of
the clothes themselves. American
women have earned reputation for a

Is the reason they have taken so kind

that have proved, by long way, the
most popular furs of the season. These
flat neck pieces are adaptable and
easy to adjust.
Furs that may be worn either to
muffle up the throat and shoulders,
over warm coats out of doors, or to be
thrown about the shoulders indoors,
Gould not fail to please. Whether any
inauisitive draft of air finds its way to
thinly clad shoulders or not, the fur

Evening Frocks Obey War Orders

We are under orders as to evening
gowns; the edict is that they must be
simple. This is dictated by good taste
in Difference to the mood of the public.
Designers are not expected to sit down
in dull apathy and do nothing as long
as war lasts, and on the other hand,
they must not seem to forget the
grim business that occupies so much
)f the world. The evening gown ap-
pears not to have suffered from this
restraint in being gay. Designers have
exercised so much cleverness with the
means at hand that there is room for
thoughtfulness.
Velvet is greatly favored for one
piece frOcks that do duty for eve
ming and extend their usefulness to
daytime wear by the addition of n
guimpe of lace or embroidered net, or
an underbodice with long sleeves of
satin. This type of dress meets with
the readiest approval.
The evening gown, pure and simple,
Is developed in the usual materials,
of crepe georgette, crepede-chine, net,
lace, light-colored satin and metallic
tissues. Chiffon velvet, in more or less
liberal quantities, is used with all these,
in combinations that add dignity to
the evening frock. 1t is surprising
how little of 1t can be made to go
so far, like the little touches of fur
The Colorado statesman., 1918-01-05

that spell luxury in all sorts of gar
ments. 1t is their power of sugges-
ton that give velvet and fur their
value In toning up fabrics.
In the pretty frock pictured an un-
derbodice of net, with sleeves of net
top lace and corsage of silver tissue,
is yelled with crepe georgette. The
skirt of the georgette is worn over an
underskirt of satin. Any Of the fash
ionable light colors will look well in
this design and silver tissue is made
in changeable effect with all of them,
so that the metallic corsage bears out
the color scheme. 1t will be noticed
that the skirt is longer than is usual :
this and the peculiar sleeves, small at
the top and flaring widely to the
wrists, give the design novelty and
dash.
To brighten up the dark colored
frocks for evening and for wear with
other dark frocks, strands of bright
colored beads have a special value.
They are selected to emphasize
touches of color that appear elsewhere
in the costume, or to redeem one-color
dark frocks from somberness. Chi
nese beads are proving the most in
teresting, but strands made to order
for special frocks draw their inspira.

WILL SHOOT TIRES

FREDERICK, Nd, Aug. 4-Down
near Gaithersburg, Nd, an ex-cow-
boy, plainsman and crack gun shot,
Henry Jolly, patrols the road with
Winchester rife to protect his chick
ems from speeding automobiles.
The female of proverb fame, who
said to her ardent suitor, Love me,

threatened to fill with lead the

future ran over his birds. The clan
Of Smiths OF the same section heard
OF these threats and remembered.

On Sunday last Washington auto
! mobiles began pouring out from the
Capital. They headed toward the
mountains. As they passed the jolly
home the tires picked up hundreds of
little tacks, thrown in orderly and
neat little rows on the highway.
As the tacks were in front OF the
Jolly home. the chicken fancier was
arrested on circumstantial evidence.
Now tack throwing is a serious Of
Tense, something like a male remain

Eight members of the clan OF Smith
testified. They had no direct evil
