GOOD ROADS IN IOWA COUNTY
Work Together and Vote Together to Secure Them


Last week The Democrat promptly and heartily endorsed
the action of the county board of Iowa county authorizing
the issuance of road construction bonds and providing for
special referendum election thereon We support the bond

policy for Iowa county to longer delay the work of road

THE OBJECTIONABLE SIM
At The World Theatre, Starting Tues
day, Nov. IS

Rupert Hughes, who wrote "The
objectionable Sin," did not see the
photoplay version of the story until
some weeks after it had been completed.
When he and Mrs Hughes were finally
afforded the opportunity of witnessing
the big picture, Mr.. Hughes did what
few authors of his calibre ever do in
the case of photoplay version he
gave it an absolutely clean bill of health
saying that it filled him with pride to
have such wonderful screen produc-
ton based upon story of his. "The
objectionable Sin" has been announced
as the attraction at the World theatre,
starting Tuesday, Nov. 25.
Among the most interesting players
in the cast of 1.-The objectionable Sin, ;"
now screening at the World theatre, is
Wesley Barry, the boy genius who has
been given one Of the most important
parts in the production. Upon him lies
the responsibility of injecting humor
into the various dramatic and tragic
scenes Of the play. So successful is he
in his part, that he vies closely for stel
lar honors with Blanche Sweet, the
featured player. Wesley has never
failed to get several rounds of applause
from his audiences wherever the film
has shown.

noon and as a dinner frock when she
is asked out. The black satin slip
sweeps over the ankles and drops
backward to a train. and there are
curious sleeves formed from two vide
bands of gold lace which are part Of
deep cape that drops from the
shoulders like court train and is
weighted with thick golden tassel
that keeps it in a straight line.
In opposition to this formal type OF
tea gown, there are costumes which
make the wearer look bit more nn-
dressed than in any evening gown Of
the past. The demand for translucent
fabrics, the unlined bodice. the bare
arm and the short house skirt gives
woman a chance to appear as negli-
gently clothed as an oriental dancer.
A mass of glittering beads, a few
gorgeous tassels. sweeping shoulder

vitations to parties were eagerly
sought-these were things that the
well bred woman was trained not to do.
Her clothes were symbol Of her
attitude oward the world, or espe-
ciaIly toward the masculine sex. She
wore the things that made her look
pretty; she put on what was supposed
to be demurely alluring; she con-
cealed that which was ugly about her
and accentuated that which was at
tractive. even If it had to be accen-
tuated by artificial means.
Then something happened to the
world of women. A great, monstrous
hand reached out and brushed all CO.
quetry and artificialties into the dump
heap. Women wore what was gro
tesque as often as they wore what was
lovely. They despised the word 'pret-
ty." To be called pretty" was a blow
to the majority of girls and matrons.
They talked of style, of effectiveness
of individuality, They accentuated
their ugliness, if it made them effec-
tive. They did whatever they could

bors. They repressed curves. they

Of wife and mother, the bearer Of bur

In the early days of our civilization
women taught their daughters this
same attitude of slight artificiality to-
ward men: in fact, they were not even
told to be entirely truthful or honest
with other women when II came to the
questions OF love, vanity, marriage and

Perhaps the most individual tea
gown Of the spring was one worn at

She copied il from a print OF the
turbulent time in France during the
first part of the eighteenth century.
1t was almost purely directoire. She
made il of white satin with a fiat drap-
cry of black lace over each shoulder,
down the sides. and stretching out into
train. The belt which defined the
high waist line was of velvet ribbon,
and the short Josephine sleeves were
Of white chiffon. She tied her black
satin slippers to her white stockings
with black velvet ribbons, and she
wore the type of necklace that was
fashionable during that era. Her hair
was arranged after the manner adopt
ed by the women who had just esca ped
the guillotine. but had not escaped
having their hair cut while in prison.
This type OF tea gown serves for
formal dinner as well as any other kind
Of evening entertainment. although II
is primarily intended as an informal
house robe. 1t has companions in
economy, for there are tea gowns sent
from Paris to smart women in this
country which show that the French
are adopting the compromise costume.

They have every reason for

If coquetry in dress comes back to
women, it will not be reversal to an
immediate pre-war period. Much wa
ter has gone under the bridge since
that peculiar feminine quality was ex-
pressed in clothes. Woman's costumery
is the outward and visible sign of an
inward and spiritual condition. and CO.
Quetry. as such, was thought to be
dead. The dictionary impresses upon
our minds the fact that "coquetry is
pretense of Affection" and the entire
world has rested its definition of CO.
quetry on the belief that it is SEM
blance, and not an acutality, of mental
and moral beliefs.
Generations Of women in this coun-
try have been brought up to regard
"semblance" as the dignified. ladylike
