Evening Frocks Obey War Orders

We are under orders as to evening
gowns; the edlct 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
Of 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 q
gulmpe Of lace or embroidered net, or
an underbodice with long sleeves Of
satin. This type of dress meets with
the readlest approval.
The evening gown, pure and simple,
Is developed in the usual materials,
of crepe georgette, crepe-de-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 60
20 far, like the little touches Of fur
The Fulton County news. [volume] (McConnellsburg, Pa.) 1899-current, 1918-01-10

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-
derbodlce 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 IN
undersklrt Of satin. Any Of the fash
lonable light colors will look we'll 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 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
terestlng, but strands made to order
for special frocks draw their inspira.
ton from many sources.

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 q
fine sense of style and fitness-that
ls-a "sense of clothes" Perhaps this
Is the reason they have taken so kind
ly to the capes and fiat scarfs Of fur
that have proved, by long way, the
most popular furs of the season. These
fiat neck pieces are adaptable and
easy to adjust.
Furs that may be worn either to
muflle up the throat and shoulders,
over warm coats out Of doors, or to be
thrown about the shoulders indoors,
could not fail to please. Whether any
lnqulsltive draft of air finds Its way to
thinly clad shoulders or not, the fur
piece is q most becoming guard against
II. At concerts and club meetings,
dances and restaurant dinners, coats
are discarded but the fur neck piece
sees Its duty and does 1t nobly. 1t
stands by the bodice or blouse Of
crepe, makes the uncovered throat
plausible and tones up whatever cos
<me 1t happens to be worn with.
At the center Of the group Of fur
pieces shown in the picture, the shape
most popular in capes appears. This

NIAGARA KEEPS ARMIES WELL
Chlorine, Used In Water, Kills the
Germs Of Disease, Yet Leaves
the Drinker Untouched.

In the trenches Of Europe there
must be pure water, lest epidemic dis
ease sweep over them, destroying more
than the shells, shrapnel and machine
guns of the enemy and Niagara comes
forward with chlorine, or an allied
product, which kills the germs of dis
ease, yet leaves the drlnker un-
touched.
In the simplest forms, the process Of
breaking up salt and getting command
Of the qualities of the two elements In
1t consists Of dlssolvlng about one part
of common salt In eight parts of water
and passing given current of elec-
tricity through 1t. The resultant fluid
Is n great bleacher and disinfectant.
A gallon of 1t will kill all the germs in
a days drinking water of city like
Washington.
A thousand American cities sterlllze
their water with these products Of
Niagara, which have done more than
any other agency In the hands Of the
sanitarlans to wipe out water-borne
epldemics. In the hospitals Of France
and England they form the active part
of mixtures used to sterllize the
wounds of the soldiers.-National

THE DEEP SEA PERI.
BY VICTOR ROUSSEAU
(cpynsAby y W..


appeared, dangling between the jaws
from the snout above them.
Donald pushed Ida before him and
fled out of the cave until he trod upon
the ocean ooze again. And they con-
tinued to crawl at the bottom Of the
sea. two helpless human creatures, un-
bellevably helpless, while around them
the fierce. predatory swarms sought
their diurnal food.
Donald had found the slope Of the
island when the water began to grow
thick again.
Presently phosphorescent patch
appeared In the distance. II became
less hazy, 1t seemed to concentrate.
The ocean suddenly became like trans
parent jelly.
And, facing him, Donald saw the
outline Of one Of the sea monsters,
visible now and horribly magnlfied.
The eyes opened upon his own. They
were not currantllke In that medium.
but expanded to the full, great orbs
like sunflowers that glowered on their
prospective prey, larger than the eyes
of any beast created since leviathan
and behemoth.
However, the creature made no move
toward him a. Donald, almost para
lyzed, remained confronting II. He
saw the gorilla form, with Its short,
budding limbs, the trunk Of gorllla's
thickness, the narrow fllppers, and the
triangular head.
He felt as some prlmeval man might
have done when he looked into the
face Of the mastodon.
The creature did not pursue him,
but stood, swaying gently, dreadfully
human. Donald snatched at Ida and
tried to run. He trlpped and fell.
He dragged himself to his feet again.
He became aware Of q barrier between
the monster and himself, which had.
perhaps, saved them. He had stumbled
upon a splny substance, q coralloid
growth that proved to be the outpost
Of q submarine forest. 1t was field
of crinolds, the yellow lilies of the sea.
Beautiful plants with branching
arms, they bent and swayed before
Donald's eyes as they drew in the MI
mute forms of life on which they SUBJ
sisted. They were vegetable octopods,
carnivorous scavengers of the deep,
which feasted on the small fish that
they entangled In their waving
branches, and drew by the clliary
movements Of the lining of their ten
tacles toward the central stomach.
Donald saw one Of the waving arms
sweep down toward him. He tore at
It with his fingers. To his surprise,
the brittle branch broke loose and
settled slowly In the ooze, there to be-
come the embryo Of plant. From
every quarter the tentacles, MS II ap-
priced Of their presence, came swoop-
Ing slowly toward them.
Donald saw Ida grasped In their
cllnging clutch. Madly he tore at the
graceful, shrinking forms, until he had
cloven a wide swath before him, and
the arms, baked and baffied of their
prey. withdrew.

Argentlne's Wheat Crop.

Reports from the Argentine state
that weather conditions are ideal for
the growth Of wheat. The official pre-
limlnary estimate Is for crop Of 240,-
100000 bushels. The large crop of
1856 was 173,00O0OO bushels, and
the average for the five preceding
years was 149,0O0,0OO bushels. Domes-
tic requirements are about 100000
bushels. The large crop now growing
will be available some time after Janu-
ary | If transportation is furnished.
The Argentine oats crops is estimat-
ed ut S8,000,000 bushels, or 100000
bushels more than the crop of 1915, Of
which 57,0OO,0O0 bushels were exported.
