Flags! Flags! Flags!
In the exalted mood we have been
in SINCE the glorious news was
flashed over the wires last Mon
day morning, we would love above
everything else in the world to find
fitting expression of the joy that
fills our hearts. The Megeath Sta
tionery company, 1927 Farnam
street, have the most complete line
of flags I've seen. The Over There
, service flags are tribute to be kept
as a souvenir of the service our
boys have rendered deeply CRATE
full country. On painted sticks,
tipped in gold. they're made up in
heavy silk, with rich gold fringe all
round. Others equally beautiful, are
of hand embroidered khaki felt.
They range in price from 2sc to
Sl.25. Many of the boys "Over
There" have sent home to their
mothers for their country's flag.
One boy wanted it for dainty las
sic he has found in Scotland. For
sooth, he had promised her "Old
Glory"
You'll "Smile Awhile" if you buy
the new book by that name. It's

Of Almost Barbaric Beauty
Are the bags on display in the
Nebraska Clothing company's mil
linery\department, so rich are they
in color and fabric. For madamoi-
selle has now chance to indulge
her most artistic fancy in that in
dispensable accessory, the bag. So
} phisticated indeed is the large bag
>of woody bright Kongo cloth en-
broidered in fantastic design of
blue, suspended from mounting Of
tortoise she'll. How demure at the
side of it is the dainty blue chiffon
velvet with heavy silk tassel, and
Dresden silk lining! THE leather
bags, too, are especially charming.
Oddly shaped are they, with rich
accessories, lip sticks, shopping list
and gold or silver pencils, etc. And
you should see the Ostrich fans
large, graceful, curving feathers in
old gold, rose and pink on sticks of
amber and tortoise she'll. Could
any gifts be more original?
