lines, too
A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
THERE is a marked resemblance be-
l. tween some of the frocks shown for
fall and those worn by our grand
mothers Immediately after the Civil
War. In the first place the daintily
printed taffetas and the changeable taf-
fetas are used a great deal to con-
struct these frocks, and these fabrics
were very popular at that time. Then,
too, there is a similarity in design,
while many of the trimming touches
used now are like those employed so
many years ago.
Take the little evening frock shown
today. The material is a pink and
lavender changeable taffeta. The
rounded neckline and the armholes are
finished with a frill of lace. The Enul
bodice has the bust seams accentualet
with a cording of the taffeta, with q
basque like appearance given to tn,
bodice by means of the same sort o.
cording used in the shaped lower part.
The foundation skirt is narrow an,
decorated about the hem with rufles O
the taffeta, left raw at the edge to form
self fringe. The full tunic is hike
on either hip, giving a decided pannie
effect. Like the foundation skirt, tn
tunic is trimmed with rufies of taf
feta.
This frock, of course, buttons dow
the center back and is enhanced at th
joining of the bodice and the skir

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

KANSAS CITY STOCKYARDS, April 3.--The cattle market is strong today; hogs opened ten to fifteen high CT and closed 25 cents higher with d new high record price for the year of S19.S0; sheep 10 to 15 cents higher, lambs up to $19.75. The slump in fat steers and lambs last week seems to have been sufficient to bring out renewed demand, and the strength in today's. market was with liberal re- ceipts available for killers.
 Today's Receipts.
 About 13,000 cattle, 1e,000 hogs, s. 900 sheep arrived today. This was fewer cattle and sheep than a week ago, but an increase in hogs. Re- ceipts of cattle were from Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma and Missouri.
 Beef Cattle.
 Trade in killing cattle opened slow ly, but COW buyers soon broke through with strong to 10 cents higher prices and steer buyers raised their early bids, which were lower, to fully a steady level. Trade in the better grades became fairly active and were cleaned up closely. Native steers sold up to SIS and pulp fed steers from both Colorado and Nebraska brought S15.25 to $17.25. Short fed Kansas and Missouri steers sold at $15 to $16.50. That class of steers is selling relatively better here than elsewhere.

Senior Class Decides to Give Themselves a Holiday.

The senior class of the Normal School decided that it would be per fectly right and proper to give them selves a holiday on Tuesday, April 1, They began making their preparations for a full day when the morning was yet young. One of the first things to be done was to arrange a long table in the dining hall at which these dig nified graduates expected to enjoy luncheon, but this pleasure was de- prived them, for the heartless juniors learned of the plans and proceeded to interfere with this arrangement by carefully putting the small tables back in place. Thoughtful juniors that they are, they thought they should do what the faculty would have them do. The seniors learned of the heartless though "thoughtful" act of the juniors and on entering the dining hall at lun- cheon time made no protest, but con ducted themselves in a way befitting seniors, and silently took their accus- toned places. But still determined to have something quite exclusive the seniors arranged with MT. Costi- gan a private matinee, and with the opera house doors all locked against intrudrs, the juniors particularly, the senior class of 1919 enjoyed Elsie Ferguson in "Heart of the Wilds."

streams, the army engineer company
with the convoy had to rebuild 65
bridges. Fourteen of these bridges
were rebuilt one day of the journey.

the motor transport corps reached San

milestone was unveiled to mark the
achievement of the first motor trans

Overland 4 Is the new type of car,
which the WHY'S Overland company
introduces to the public this season. Its
distinctive feature is new ee-point
spring suspension. These scout cars
excited public interest everywhere
along the route. They covered nearly
1000 miles more of road than did the
trucks, preceding the convoy from
town to town. The new spring sus-
pension was given the hardest possible
test in actual army transport service.
Army officers and others who rode
in them were enthusiastic in praise of
the comfort and ease of riding and the
mile eating ability of the new cars.
DIR. S. M. Johnson was the official
lecturer of the convoy. He made adj
dresses at all stops on the need and
