Hiqh-Neeked Blouse of Velvet.

apparel Is that it may be permitted to share honors with the eollarless mod els.
 However, the high-necked items Of apparel are here and undoubtedly some women will elect to wear them, says the Washington Star.
 The sketch presented herewith Illus trates a very smart little tailored blouse, made of brocaded velvet, and featuring a decidedly high collar. The blouse buttons it's entire length, not even the collar itself being exempt. For becomingness' sake curved open ing is admitted at the front of the collar, with q fold of white georgette, chiffon or other sheer material peep ing out.
 Velvet and velveteen are being fea- tured extensively in tailored blouses developed for fall and winter, and a good many military touches crop ou' in the arrangement of sleeves ana cor lars. Occasionally an epaulet oi heavy braid in self-color will appear on either shoulder, and again these shoulder pieces will be developed in contrasting color.
 An extreme novelty that Is worth mentioning, though probably not to De recommended as a leading style note, is the use of the chamois as trimming for georgette blouses. Bands of cha- m0is' in contrasting color are used 10 trim collar, cuffs. vestee, etc. or georgette blouses, and frequently small chamois-covered buttons fasten the garment.
 Chenille embroidery Is making strong effort to rival bead embroidery as a waist trimming, due no doubt to the excessive prices now charged TOT beads. The chenille is very effective : but not so dainty as beads, and there is always a doubt as to whether che nile embroidery will wear well. II must be laid on in a very loose stitch to be effective.

GERMAN ATROCITIES.

Those who braved the elements to hear Lieut.. D. J. McPhearson at the Methodist church Tuesday night realize that the atrocities &C., credited to the Germans in Europe are not newspapers stories but the truth as none doubted his sincerei- ty and the truthfulness of his sto- ries.
 He said the only thing that kesps Germany today from bombarding our Eastern coast is the fact that America as whole is asleep and she knows that if she should do that it would awaken us to a point that would end the war and in hurry.
 The American people must awaken sooner or later to the real situation, and why not now? If every citizen of this great and pros porous country. of ours would do his full duty in loaning to the gov ernment of his means and in the conservation of food the end of the war could be brought about much sooner and with less loss of life and suffering than will be the case if we remain dormant.
 His accounts of the great work being done by the Red Cross and the Y. M. c. A. should make every resident of Huttig who gave to these two noble causes feel that they aided where results are great and if we will now loan our money by buying Thrift and War Stamps We will keep up with our reputa- ton for doing our part along every line.
