One of the outstanding features of
this war summer is the revival of
calico. Calico, both plain and figured,
Is being used in %profusion for entire
dresses and in combinations with
other materials. Among the designs
one notices some charming, quaint
little bouquet effects such as might
have come down to us from another
war. The favorite at present, how
ever, is not the figured but the plain
calico. At some. of the smartest
affairs of the season many Of these
demure frocks were seen some had
plain backgrounds with indistinct dots
or tiny figures. But plain calico
seemed to he in highest favor.
This dainty frock is a combination
Of calico and dotted swiss. Plain
blue calico alternating with. rows Of
the dotted swiss forms the skirt. The
sleeves, collar and vestee are of the
dotted swiss also.- The dress is just
sheer enough to make one wish for
it to wear during the heat of the day
and it is serviceable enough to stand
wear in the country or at the summer
camp.
1t does not seem strange that this
fabric Of long ago should suddenly
come back into favor for it is charm
ing in design and color and there
could certainly be nothing better for
the slender war time pocketbook
which is so much lighter and more
empty looking than usual. It is more
than pleasant to be able to feel pa
tri6tic and well-dressed at the same
time.

Chiefly of Interest to Women
Military Wedding
{, At Fort Cdnbu

The following clipping taken from
The ,Ilwaco Tribune will be Of interest
to people in this state!
The first military wedding at Fort
Candy since its occupation by soldiers
enlisted for service In the present war
took place Monday night, July Is,
when Miss Mabel G. Score, daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Score Of st.
Paul, Mimi, BECAME the bride Of Sar-
geant Harold L. PratFo Fargo. N. D.
n ceremony was performed by
ChaplAin Willard Elkins in the pres
ence Of the officers and men Of the
fort ana a large number Of civilians.
The bride and groom, attended by
Mrs. William Young Of Fort Candy,
and Sergeant. Schumacher, entered the
hall, which was decorated beautifully,
to the strains Of Lohengrin's wedding
march, and advanced to a dome of
red, white and blue steamers, with a
large American flag carried by two
North Dakota boys for a background,
soldiers on each side of them forming
elevated above the bridal party.
The simple ring ceremony was used.
Ehe bride was simply and very at
tractively gowned in white georgette
crepe, beaded in white, with a hat of
pale. pink,chiffon and rosebuds of the
same color, and carried a large bou-
quet of brides roses. Mrs. Young
wore a dress of white g%eorgette crepe
and blue and white taffeta, with a
white lace picture hat. She carried
a basket of white daisies.
After the ceremony the guests
danced until midnight, when the
bridal banquet was served by the
ladies of Fort Candy. The groom's
company, the 18th, presented the
happy couple with a handsome silver
set.
The groom is prominent in business
circles at his home in North Dakota,
and first met his bride when. she came
to teach in the public school at Souris,
in that state. They had planned to
be married in June, but Sergeant
Pratt's call to the colors, and the
distance Of the bride from her fance
compelled them to defer the happy
day for a short time. The bride ar
rived here Saturday with Mr.. and Mrs.
r. J. Pratt, father and mother Of the
groom, and the wedding was set for
the earliest possible date.
Sergeant and Mrs. Pratt have<taken
a cottage at Seaview, and will occupy
it until the former receives his call
to take his place with Uncle Sans
bOyS cover there"

DAY NURSERY
APPRECIATED
BY MOTHERS

Many mothers wish to take this OPP
p%ortunity of thanking the day nursery
women for all the Kindness offered
them in taking care Of their children
during their visit at the Art building.
Women were able to check their ba-
oles and to know that they would be
we'll cared for.
Through the kindness Of the day
nursery and the r. W. c. A. girls, q
scheme was devised whereby women
could checA their babies as they
would their wraps. and after enjoying
good time at the fair, return and
find their children fed, and perhaps
better for a long nap.
Cribs Of ill descriptions have been
obtained and dainty hangings to amuse
the children. Crackers have been DO
mated by q local grocers, and II the
child becomes hungry, will DO fed.
This is the first time that this has been
done. and from the familiar noises
heard around that portion OF the
building, It - Self-evident that the op-
portunity is being grasped.

The President referred not alone, to

them in his Characterization Of mob

not In any single region, but in many
and widely separated parts Of the
country. There have been many
lynchings, and every one Of them has
been a blow at the heart of ordered
law and humane justice. No man
who loves, America, no man who
really cares for her fame and honor
and character or who is truly loyal
to her institutions, can justify mob
action, while the courts of justice are
open and the governments Of the
states and the nation are ready and
able to do their duty.

outlawed herself among the nations
because she has disregarded the
sacred obligations Of law and has
made lynchers of her armies. Lynch

above that level, with pride and a
fixed resolution which no man or set
