been employed in a store at Calispell
for several years. The valley in which
Calispell ia built had a rain in May
which gave them q fair wheat crop,
but all the country outside the valley
is entirely dried out. Much valuable
stock and horses are being sold for
almost nothing, and in some cases
would be given away if anyone would
take them. because food and water
for them is practically unattainable.
Mr.. Dahlhof and his crew of line
men came from Armour Monday and
are working on the light lines, re-
pairing and putting in new wires and
some more transformers. Just before
they left Armour the company receive
ed the bill of lading for the new BOO
morse power engine which has been
ordered for a long time. and when
this is installed more satisfactory SER
vice will be given. Much Of the re-
cent trouble has been due to a broken
shaft on one Of the old engines. Re-
pairs for this were shipped in August
but have been lost in transit and ira

The 1919 autumn suit Is strictly
tailored. It's lines have none Of the
s0ftness Of recent seasons and often
the edges of the coat are bound In
braid, which makes It even more
severe. notes q prominent fashion
writer.
1t seems certain that the strictly
tailored effect with the three-Quarter
length coat and q skirt with circular
fullness viii remain with Us during
the season.
Reminiscent Of the time Of Louis
XIV and Louis XVI with the "nipped-
In" shoulder and semiftted waistline
are many Of these jackets with coat
skirts that are full and flaring and
equipped with big pockets at the sides,
and though the skirts have more full
ness than the models of the past sea-
son they are still straight Of line.
The lines of the coat as well as the
one-piece dresses have the effect of
the redingote. The fullness, little
below the hips, is set In by cartridge
plaits, as well as by cleverly placed
stitched tucks, which gives the slim
silhouette.
Distinctive Models.
A smart coat and skirt costume is
fashioned on the lines of those which
no doubt will be seen on the modish
woman this fall and winter.
This suit is made. of soft, green
duvetyn. The closing of the front is
effected by one single button at the
waistline. The collar is high and
fastens with two buttons. There is a
single wide revers faced with velvet.
The full flaring coat skirts slant away
from the front. The skirt is also
made with seam which begins at the
left side Of the waistline and slants
toward the right. A hat Of green vel
vet in same tint as the coat revers
completes the costume.
Another suit Is made of black vel.

Then 1 called Tom to me-: "How
about that sucking fish. Tom?" I asked.
"It's just cured, sar," he said. Il
was going to offer it TO you this lunch
time. It's dried out fine; couldn't be

may be used in describing suit with
a coat which is straight and long to
the knees. 1t has a fiat back and
front, while circular ripping fullness
is held under narrow belts at the
waistline at either side. A narrow
rolled collar runs almost to the waist
line where the two front sections of
the coat meet and fasten with link
buttons of black bone. There are
pockets outlined with bands Of the
material, but no trimming Is used.
The skirt, which is ever so slightly
circular, falls In ripples to a becom-
ing length.
Especially created for the woman
who favors loose lines in spite of the
new semifitted effects is lovely de-
sign that would be charming In duve-
tyn or velvet, materials to which
it Is very well adapted. Most distinc-
tive are the lines Of the coat. Though
back and front are fat, there are
loose flowing sides that tuck In I'M
der at the bottom. The narrow belts
Of the material 'confine the waist In
front, while a straight band of the
material forms the collar, crushing
softly around the neck. Long fitted
sleeves are finished with unusual
cuffs, loops of the material. The skirt
is very simple with easy fullness.

and Gays are along that coast, that you
need to have sailed them from boy
hood to know one from another.
The cove we were looking for,
known by the CHEEKY name of Dead
Mems Shoes, proved farther off than
we expected, so that we didn't come
to 1t till toward the middle of the next
afternoon, an afternoon of the most
innocent gold that has ever thrown Its
soft radiance over an earth inhabited
for the most part by ruffians and
scoundrels. we soon found that we
were not alone In the cave.
"Shes changed her paint" said Tom,
at my elbow. And, looking round, /
saw that our rakish schooner with the
black hull was now white as dove;
and, In that soft golden water, hardly
foot and half deep. FIVE shadowy
fins like huge bats. Our engineer, who
was already wading fearlessly In the
water, beautifully naked, "shooed"
! them off like chickens. But 1t was
soon to be evident that more danger
Gus foes waited for us on the shore.
Yet there was seemingly nothing
there but pile of sponges, and few
black men. The Susan B. had changed
her color, 1t was true, but she was q
well-known sponger, and noticed no
one that l recognized.
There was one foolish fellow that
reminded me of my shackly deckhand
whom had always thought out of his
| mind, standing there on his head on
| the rocks and waving his legs to at
tract attention.
why! There's silly Theodore"
| called out the captain.
I'm going ashore" l said.
| 'T'm going with you too," said the
captain. "But look after your guns.
There's going to be something doing
quiet as 1t looks"
So we rowed ashore. and there was
Theodore capering in front Of q pile
of sponges, but no other face that \
knew. But there were seven or eight
negroes whose looks / took no great
liking to.
Like some fancy sponges to send
homer? said one Of these, coming up
to me. Cost you five times as much
| In Nassau"
Certainly I'd like a few sponges,"
| said.
| And then Theodore came up to me,
! looking as though he had lost his mind
over the rather fancy silk tie l hap
pened to be wearing.
"Give me datl'' he said, touching 1t,
like crazy man.

MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS
Foolish Habit of Leaning on Others Is
One That Should Be Sternly
Repressed.

Most people who have succeeded IN
anv direction of activity can trace the
measure of their success to the ha6it
of deciding things for themselves. one
of the greatest temptations we have
is to confide In others. BY yielding 10
n we not only become a nuisance 10
our friends but keep on lowering our
own mowers of resistance. 1t Is worse
than useless to ask the advice OF otn-
ers because they are rarely so mucn
interested in our troubles as we think
they are. or would like them to be. II
thew were, they would have to know as
nnch about our troubles as we DO 70
mass Judgment, and this we can NOT
roll them even If we would.
sometimes indeed we may know TOO
much about our own troubles, or In
such way that the continuous
thought of them puts them in the
wrong perspective; but this situation
IS only made worse by adding the
confusion of another's mind to ours.

with row Of small, round, material
buttons and loops. The sleeves are
also button trimmed. At the hips three
fiounces have been inset, which gave
the modish flare. This unusually smart
costume is topped by a small black
draped toque.
Still another is an exceedingly at
tractive frock OF velvety finished
brown duvetyn. 1t has the new high
collar buttoned close up around the
neck and chin and the new faring
sleeves button trimmed to the elbow.
The bodice is made basque effect. The
skirt is rather wide and has large
pocket draperies at the sides. The
costume is accompanied by a chic
dark brown velvet hat trimmed at the
edge with an antique gold cord.
The Dressy Blouse.
After the momentous question of
the fall suit has been settled the aver
age woman Immediately turns her at
tention to the blouse to accompany 1t.
In former years the white lingerie
waist was considered good form and
| quite elaborate enough for ordinary
wear and most occasions. But condi-
lions have changed. Such charming
blouses have been developed these
latter years that the simple shirt
| waist-forerunne of them all-now
seems to be relegated to the row of
| discarded garments. Perhaps the
laundry problem has had something to
| do with this. While many business
women prefer the tailored shirtwaist
it is now apt to be of soft plant
crepe or satin or silk requiring no
starch and the simplest laundry at

Well-dressed women everywhere rec
ognize the value of the blouse In the

thus a perfect costume as rule suit
