something of what our neighbOrs

eRINeINe THE WAR hOME

The War Savings Stamp Drive,
coming as 1t did soon after the
Red Cross and not long before the
Y. M. G. A. campaign, made more
apparent the necessity Of looking
ahead and planning to take care
of the war activities.
Prowers county citizens may as
well count on two Liberty Loans.
We can pretty well figure out
in advance what to count on.
This year. for instance. we were
all fairly sure of two liberty loan
drives; the big w. 8. S. campaign;
drive for Y. M. c. A. war work
funds: and perhaps one Or two
other smaller. campaigns wOr-
thy of attention. We knew these
were coming. We should have pre-
pared for them by estimating,
first. what our total 1918 income
would probably be; then figuring
how much, by strict economy, we.
could spare out Of this sum for
investment and donation; and fin
ally dividing this sum up among
the vaious causes.
Had we done this, it would
have prevented confusion and we
would not now find ourselves say
ing "are these calls never going to
cease?" Each cause would have
received it's part-we would have
known in advance what We could
give -andProwers county's war
activities would have been hand
led easily and in a business-like
manner.
We say, had we done this"
But the year is only half over.

FLoWEREn T0QUE IS REVIVED
Blossom Bedccked Headgear is Much
in Favor With Matronly Women
After Several Seasons.

The lowered toqne has been revfv-
ed again and Is much worn by matrOn-
" women. Several seasons have elaps-
ed since the small -iower-covered hat
received any particular attention.
An especially effective model of this
type was worn by a large and dignifed
woman with a f%ull-length brOadtail
coat made with a shawl collar and
deep cuffs of chinchilla. The close
fit ing toque which topped this hand
some garment was covered with small
white lines. Each flower was placed
individually and stood out from the
Others. A piece OF narrow black vel
vet ribbon was worked In and out
among the lilies around the front and
sides and ended In q cluster of bows
at the back.
Violets frequently appear In these
fiower-crowned hats. Many Of the red
flowers are also used.
The flower named ragged sailor vas
attractively applied on one close-ft-
ting model set off with two slender
outstanding wings. A fine mesh veil
with q heavy velvet scroll completed
the hat, which was worn by q
woman In q braid trimmed tailored

high colOrs on a background Of black,
dark blue, brown or gray. These Chip
pendale prints are repeated In geOr-

spreading floral and foliage patterns
as well as w%indow-pane designs, most
attractive In their simplicity.
Silk tricot Is extremely hard to get
with the correct ridge effect which is
a characteristic Of this seasons weave.
Not only for sport wear but also in
combination with satin, wool Jersey.
serge and foulard is the silk tricot in
request. And right here 1t may be
mentioned that the coarse weaves are
the ones that have received the in
dorsement of Paris. Indeed. some OF
them look more like open silk hand
meshes than like a woven cloth. It is
In alliance with the Levantine foulards
that b loosely knit jersey silks show
off to- best advantage. Such foulartls
have a heavier twill and more body
than the average silk Of that weave.
Silks have advanced in price like
everything else, but 1t is well to re-
member that they are really eco
nomical In their best qualities. Cheap
fabrics have advanced to even a great
er degree than the better grades be-
cause the price Of labor is just as great
In connection with these as with su-
perior qualities. As one authority puts
IL, the cheaper materials have tripled
In price, while the better grades have
hardly doubled.
