Cream Hill school is to give an en- tertainment in Grange Hall, Friday evening, to increase their Victrola fund. It is too bad that public opinion deprivest the children of the privilege of learning to read and sing by note, but a Victrola, and learning to sing by ear, is vastly better than no music. So it is hoped there will be large audience to en- courage the children and teacher in their efforts.

Printed %georgette and printed vOiles
for blouses of simple design make
pretty and youthful styles that de-
mand very little in the way of decOra-
ton. The patterns and cOlors in these
printed fabrics hold the interest so
that no elaboration is needed on the
blOuses made from them, except In
finishing touches. They are in a little
class by themselves and are recon-
mended TO those who are clever at
making things for themselves. The
beauty Of the fabrics is their chief
charm, and simplicity of design. which
is in harmony with them, appeals to
the amateur blOuse-maker. Besides,
the printed fabrics relieve the monot.
ony of too many blouses Of plain ma
terials.
Two of these new styles in blouses
Of printed geOrgette, as pictured here,
might be made Of printed wolfe as well.
In the blouse at the left the georgette
Is printed with small figures in an all.

1t was hoped and expected that with
the end of the war women would once
more array themselves In beautiful
evening clothes, as gorgeous as their
purses would allow. They most GER
tainly saw to 1t that such expectations
were not disappointed. When VIC
tory was Ia sight. but before the armi-
stice vas signed. costumers predicted
al early end Of the war, for already
women began ordering more elaborate
dress. With the signing Of the armi-
stlce came a reaction and n rush for
evening dress. Considering every
thing, American have not gone
TO extremes; they had dressed quietly
during the war and n certain reserve
kept them from forgetting that ex-
perience too quickly. AT present they
are !ndulging in some fads, which may
be short lived or may not.
One Of these fancies is for large o.
trich feather fans. These gorgeous af.
fairs are made In many colors, but In
blacf and white they go to extremes In
size which one fails to find in colOrs.
They are very beautiful and one can
not Imagine n time when an ostrich
feather fan would seem entirely out of
place for evening dress.
LOlg, slender lines In evening gowns
that seem merely lengths of wonderful
material draped about the figure are
Of all things most desired. Here in
the picture is n splendid gown Of sill.

the feeding greatly.
In cases Of extreme nausea, when
milk in any other form can neither be
kept in the stomach nor dlgested, the
partly digested drink, koumiss, Is a
most valuable food to know how to
prepare. Its sparkling e~ffervescence
makes 1t especially appetizing and
grateful to n starving patient.

blespOOnful Of sugar. Stir until well
mixed with the yeast and the sugar
Is completely dissolved. Put into bot
ties, tie down the corks, unless using
patent bottles with cork fasteners, and
let stand In n warm place for twelve
hours, for the yeast to grow. Put the
bottles upside down; they are not so
apt to throw out the corks. After
twelve hours place the bottles on Ice,
and they will be ready to use after
a day or two. Use care when opening
the bottles to put the neck into the
glass, or much Of the milk will be
wasted by its effervescence. A little
practice will enable one to handle the
milk with no waste.

c r. MILLER,
Major, 361st Infantry.


Msl. Miller received the Distinguish
Ell Service Cross for conspicuous gal
lantry in action near Gesnes, France.
September 20. 1918. After two days
Of intense physical and mental strain,
during which Maj. Miller had led his
battalion in the front line of the ad.
vance, through the forest of Argonne,
the enemy was met in a prepared po-
sition south Of Gesnes. Though al
most exhausted, he theoretically re-
organized his battalion and ordered
an attack. Upon reaching open
ground, the advancing line began to
waver in the face of machine gun fire
from the front and TANKS and direct
artillery fire. Personally leading his
command group forward between his
front line companies, Maj. Miller in
spired his men by his personal cour-
age and they again pressed on toward
the hostile position. AS this officer
led the renewed attack he was shot
in the right leg, but he nevertheless
staggered forward at the head Of his
command. Soon afterward he was
again shot In the right arm, but he
continued the charge, personally cheer
ing his troops on through the heavy
machine gun fire. Just before the OBJ
jective was reached he received a
wound In the abdomen, which forced
him to the ground, but he continued
to urge his men on, telling them to
push on to the next ridge and leave
him where he lay. He died from his
wounds a few days later. Maj. Mil
ler's widow lives at 1927 West Fifty
first street, Los Angeles. Cal.

Worth Of Paris, who sponsors such
lines and effects. In its company there
are dancing frOcks Of satin or geor-
gette that have no backs in their
bOdices. But often a sash or scarf Of
tulle manages to veil the unclothed
back. There is n great vogue for
strands of pearls; they are worn with
all sorts Of evening gowns.
Black has many devOtees for eve
ming gowns. Transparent black fab
ric, over black or over vivid colOrs,
bears the stamp Of approval from the
sources OF fashions. 1t goes without
saying that In such case black Jet Is
f%iOurlshing. In the picture one of these
brilliant black tOilettes appears with
n bodice that Is hardly more than a
wide girdle Of satin, and strands of Jet
over the shoulders. The bodice ex-
tends below the waistline. the beauti-
full slender figure appearing to be cor

brOcade Is set on to 1t. This employ
ment Of strands of Jet over the shoul-
