strikinuIy Original Costume.
The neck was cut round, almost like
the Redfern model, but the sleeves
were even shorter. Very long pale
gray suede gloves were worn and an
immense pale gray felt hat, lined with
black chip and trimmed with a cluster
of black satin water lilies. 1t was an
amazingly original costume, taking 1t
altogether.
Nearly all the best race gowns of
this season have closely resembled eve-
ming dresses, that is to say, they have
had decollete necks, short sleeves and
filmy draperies. 1t is not at all easy
to distinguish between day and eve
ming gowns just now unless one makes
a careful study Of materials. 1t is not
considered correct to wear metallic
brocades In the daytime nor paillettes
unless the latter be skillfully inter-
mingled with fine silk embroidery. but
very many Of the best and most ex-
pensive race dresses are richly
trimmed with Jet and steel fringes and
with embroideries worked in jet steel
and moonlight beads.

OF course. 1t is true that prices are

The pannier is undoubtedly in our
midst, nevertheless lovers Of simplicity
and grace win cling to the long tunlc
which hangs straight from the shout
ders. or which is lightly confined ut the
waist by a girdle. Painters are fash
ionable, and yet they are not generally
worn nearly all the women object to
them because they are "too dressy."
And this is true. There is something
uncomfortably "dressy" and fluffy
about a genuine pannier dress; 1t is
only suitable for very special occa-
sions. For tunlcs the intest girdle is
a chain Of colored galalite with a
plaque and long tassel, the latter
matching or contrasting with the dress

BRILLIANT PARTY

The Halloween party given by the
Womans Ten Thousand club at the
Barbara Worth hotel last night was a
huge success both socially and fnanci-
ally. The spirit of merriment prevail
ed from eight o'clock long after mid
night.
The ball room was gOrgeously decor
ated in yellow and black. Here and
there a spooky looking cat stood sentl-
mel, reminding the merry-makers that
this was witch's night and the sobblins
might get them if they didn't watch
out. HOnest-togoodnesS pumpkins ana
milo maize reminded us that the beau
tiful spirit of the harvest time was up
on us.
The billiard room of the hotel was
given over to the booths. On the right

posing brick structure housing the post
office which was as busy Il scene as the
genuine article at holiday season.
Soda pop, gorgeous red and yellow

Some folks breakfasted next day
luxiously on flap-jacks and soda bis

The fortune wheel was kept busily
spinning and netted its managers q

and was most delicious
Madame Crero's booth had 4 contin

their fortunes. A young lady emerg

Every Druggist in U. s. In- structed to Refund Price While You Wait at Coun- ter If Relief Does Not Come Within Two Min uteS
Delightful Taste, Immediate
 Relief, Quick Warm-Up

The sensation of the year in the drug trade is Aspironal, the two-minute cold and cough reliever, authortatively guar anteed by the laboratories; tested, ap- proved and most enthusiastically indorsed by the highest authorities, and pro- claimed by the common people as 10 times as quick and effective as whisky, rock and rye, or any other cold and cough cure they have ever tried.
 All drug stores are now supplied with the wonderful new elixir, so all you have to do to get rid of that cold, is to step into the nearest drug store, hand the clerk half dollar for bottle of As- pironal, and tell him to serve you a teaspoontul with four teaspoonfuls of water in glass With your watch in your hand, take the drink at one swallow and call for your money back in two minutes if you cannot feel your cold fading away like a dream, within the time limit. Don't be bashful, for all drug gists invite you and expect you to try it. Everybody's doing it.
 When your cold or cough is relieved. take the remainder of the bottle home to your wife, and babies, for Aspironal is by far the safest and most effective, the easiest to take and most agreeable cold and cough remedy for infants and chill dren. Do not be afraid of the alcoholic contents, for it contains TO more than any good doctor would prescribe for a cold. cough or the flu--Adv.

ALMON UNCHANGED
 IN POSTOFFICE FIGHT

Washington, February 20-(Special)
 Decatur and Albany returned to Wash
 irgton today for the purpose of renew
 ing their fight regarding the location of
 the postoffice which the government pro-
 poses to build for service to both com
 munities. Decatur is represented by w.
 E. Crawford, Postmaster T. M. Jones,
 J. D. Wyker, Clyde Hendryx and Skeggs
 Crawford. Albany is represented by
 Dave Aln1on, Tom Carl Patterson, A. G.
 Hardage and Tennis Tidwell. Both dele
 gations appeared before Representative
 Almon today
 Following the conferences the repre- sentative declared that he stood as for merly in favor of the site already se- lected, that is in Decatur. The Albany crowd contending that postoffice on that site could ret serve them is en- deavoring to change him into advocating a site more nearly midway between the two cities. It is learned that the post office department. in keeping with it's promise made the Albany committee some days ago. ordered an inspection of all available sites. That the inspection was made and that the report favored the Decatur site.
 This would have tendency to settle the dispute, but the Albany delegation de- clares it will continue the struggle to the bitter end.

should not go. King George, it is averred, wants to honor the Secretary of the Navy for the magnificent assist ance the American navy rendered the English navy.
 Facetious critics of Secretary Dam iels declare that while abroad he will be knighted and that when he returns he will be known as Sir Josephus. There is no reason to believe that such will be true. General Pershing has been so decorated and with such hon- ors that but for the fact that he is an American citizen he would be know as Sir John. General Pershing spurns titles of nobility. Secretary Daniels will likewise spurn them, his closest friends say, and on his return, should some admirer greet him as Sir Josephus," his chagrin would be great.
 Nevertheless, it is an interesting fact that Secretary Daniels, preparing to visit England, announces a staff of admirals. rear admirals, captains and commanders that would do credit to the Sultan of Turkey were he in posi- ton to be as pompous as on previous occasions But the secretary probably feels that all other dgnitaries having g had their inning, his day is about to dawn and that he will be justified in fittingly observing that epochal event

Little Stories of the
 1. DayFron1 Washington
President Looks Upon New England Battle Ground in : Presidential Campagn-Secretary Daniels Will Visit
 England and Be Entertained by the King
By HUGH w. ROBERTs

Washington, February 20.-(Special) Republicans declare the President is preparing to play politics against the 2 exegencies of two years hence. It is scontended that he has concluded that New England will be battle-ground . if not the battle-ground. He is said to believe that the democrats will have 8 good chance in New England, and for that reason he should make that chance as good as possible.
 On returning from France he win land in Boston. There he will make his initial address in defense of the . league of nations. And there, if re- ports are true, he will name s. L. Whipple, a prominent lawyer of whom The Age-Herald in the same connec- ton, has made mention, Attorney Gen Seral of the United States.
 Brig. Gen. Charles Cole who com manded brigade of the New England division, according to this theory and report, will be made assistant Secre- tary of War vice Frederick Keppel, who wants to resign and who, with the backing of Secretary Baker, will acquire the presidency of a New Eng land college. The appointment of Gen. eral Cole would please New England.
 And there is another sop coming to New England. As previously pointed out in this correspondence, the New England division is very sore. It bore itself gallantly in the battles on the French front, but was not generally praised by General Pershing. Gen. eral Edwards, it's commander, after splendid service as fighter, was sent home. And then, to cap the climax, the army" all "shot to pieces" was sent to the rear, there to await in the mud of Brest orders, indefinitely de- layed, for embarkation.
 General Pershing has cabled that the division will be sent home immediate ly. And so New England smiles. In this connection, it is significant that last fall for the first time in the his- tory of man, Massachusetts elected a democrat to the Senate of the United States.

BANKHEAD RETAINS
 IMPORTANT ITEMS

Washington. February 20-(Special ) Senator Bankhead has put his post office appropriation bill through a stormy conference with the loss of only one controversial item.
 He saved s300,000 for the extension Of motor service over the protest O. the Postmaster General He secured
 an increase for postal clerks in al- lowances for daily maintenance. He carried through helpful money legisla- ltlon in favor of practically all em- ployes, some of whom will be benefit ed at once and others at later but cer- tain dates.
 And he saved. against more or less attack, the good road features under which the government is committed to co-operate with states in the construc-
 t1on of highways-committed in a sum which in two years will approximate s200, Oo0,000.
 He lost the fight for the preservation Of the pneumatic tube service in Bos- ton, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and St. Louis. This fight is of long standing. The tubes were put in at the instance of the government The government paid a rental for them. There was then a movement put afoot for the purchase of the tubes The movement was successful, but the President, at the instance of MT. Bur- leson. his Postmaster General. vetoed the bill. The present bill contained an item authorizing the department to investigate with a view either to hire or purchase or condemn. The item passed the Senate, but the Postmaster General caused it's defeat by the House conferees.
 It Is estimated that the Postma ster General will immediately at a cost of between $25,000 and s40,000, tear the tubes out of the buildings and grounds in which they are now installed The people of the cities concerned praised the service and bitterly protested against the efforts of the department
 to cause it's discontinuance.
