On The Square.

"Around the Square Societies" are
the latest in War Savings Societies.
This plan had its inception in Chillo-
cothe. Organizer George Adams Wis
tied several OF the stores on the pub
lie square and some Of the statesmen
in the various stores thought it would
be a good idea for them to club to-
gether and organize one War Saw
ings Society for all the business
houses on the square. Other towns
are affecting similar organizations.

Miss Katherine Crawford certainly
deserves a lot OF credit for such
harmonious and delightful costuming
as this attraction exhibits. and for
her courageous breaking away from

girls must disport themselves in at
tire that reminds one OF an opium

As you will perhaps remember
Miss Crawford was formerly on

Duff-Gordon. This undoubtedly ac-
counts for the really beautiful cos
