that buys clothes every few weeks.
according to the twists and turns of
fashion from short to long skirts, from
knuckle to elbow sleeves, from round
to v necks, are the women who buy
as the occasion presents itself.
These may be called the impulsive
buyers, and they reach the apex of
their activities in midsummer, for then
come the vacation days that spread
like a propaganda from one end of the
continent to the other.
America is the supreme land of
summer pleasure seekers Here mil
lions indulge in this hot-weather recre-
alton, although they live like hermits
during the rest Of the year and econo-
mize six months for this orgy of
gayety.
1t is a radical desire. There is none
who considers herself fit to go on
with the struggle of the autumn and
winter unless the summer has given
them the opportunity of going to some
place outside their particular zone of
work and business. 1t Is for this
crowd, therefore. this immense. shift
ing, restless crowd, that the dress
makers put forth new effort and build
upon the gowns that the exclusives
have chosen i'm May.
There is a large demand for clothes
by huge mass of American women
from the middle Of July to the middle
of September. Their buying is varied.
Some sew at home, others get reduced
finery at the shops, others haunt the
specially places and large department
shops for simple frocks at small cost.
What they buy depends upon their
purses and the social opportunities Of
fered by the vacation places to which
they 20. There is no one who con-
siders old clothes appropriate. Even
when one goes camping these days
there. Is an outfit especially adapted to
the activities. Almost a Gallo idea of
the fitness of costumery for the work
in hand comes about during the
American summer. and there is high
pressure OF excitement among women.
The gayety of the vacation days
filters, in prospect. through the pur-
chasing Of clothes. and those who
economize all the rest OF the year find
themselves INDUCING in spasms Of ex-
trayagance for that time-honored
American tradition--the summer vaca-
ton.
1t Is not possible for any one per-
son to lay down the law as to the
proper clothes that women should buy
for the summer. Their needs vary,
their opportunities are widely differ
ent, the climate each one chooses calls
for apparel all it's own.
There are. however few funda-
mentals that interest FL women. "Sgy

The Woman Who SeWs at Home Can Copy the Plans of Priced
Designers and Make Dresses Brilliant Coors Touched Up With
Taeta Ribbon and Roses-Blacl Point dEspit Is Revived

into coat and skirt, for, despite all
rumors to the contrary and the OPPOSE
ton of many dressmakers. the Anglo
Saxon tailored suit has been a trump
card in the wardrobe of the American
woman.
Outside and inside blouses may be
worn with 1T. according to the desire
of the possessor but the short, narrow
skirt with it's severe coat, no matter
what the fabric, Is in the saddle. 1t
has come back to it's own happy hunt
ing ground in America.
Somehow, according to one of those
strange psychological mass caprices,
the public looks with more favor upon
this type of suit than upon a one
piece frock. when the occasion de-
mands simplicity and occurrences.
Gowns of wolfe and foulards have
their place, but they do not usurp the
niche kept for the coat and skirt with
it's white or colored blouse.
The woman who Is going on a vaca-
ton worries most about the kind Of
frocks needed for afternoon and even
ing. She intends to be gay, unless she
Is OF the type that runs from gayety
to strenuous life in the open in order
to develop her muscles and carry along
with her menfolk,
Wherever one goes these days there
is the sound Of the fiddle, the lure of
electric light. the vast system of res
taurants, which take the place of the
old moonlit porch and the hammock
under the trees.
1t Is for these hours of gayety that
woman wants attractive frocks.
What shall she choose is the ques-
ton that comes up instantly in her
mind.
If she wants to be we'll dressed, she
may choose colored cotton net, is the
answer in a nutshell.
Tulle is put upon the shelf for next
winter. except in fashionable
places.
Satin has not many adherents.
Georgette crepe has its followers, and
colored organdy is again selected for
the afternoon by those who realize it's
charm.
1t would be wise, however, to stress
the fact that the colored cotton net
frock with taffeta ribbon and roses as
ornamentatiop is new move in fash
ion. The idea was propagated early in
the spring by a designer who cares
nothing for the masses and only for
the classes, but who invariably has a
large following among the former be-
cause his patrons wear his clothes well

American girls and women who want

fashionable clothes at all seasons Of
the year.
1t Is strange that the economists do
not lay emphasis upon this fact. We
are always asked to fix our attention
upon the great gulf of difference that
lies between the sweatship worker and
the multi-millionaire who wears the

Gerls are the foundations of vim min. Every lady use to be a gerl once, and the older the lady is the longer ago it was, and every gerl ix- poets to be a lady sumtime, and the younger the gerl is, the less she ix- poets it.
 Most babies arc called it insted of he or she because most babies look like a it. Boys keep on looking like gerls till they get their hare cut, the ones that get theirs cut the ferst be ing the ones that start asking the youngest and get their mother tired of saying No the soonest.
 Wen boy gets mad he hits with his fists, being panefin as well as in sulting. but wen a gerl gets mad she sticks out her tung, being mcerly in sultinE.
 Some gerls is prcttier than others, but the others wont admit it. The prcttier the gerl is, the more rites she thinks she has, Eenrelly thinking cor reckly.
 Wen you are interdoosed to a gerl you are supposed to mow and say, I am pleased to meet you. But wat you genrely do Is jest stand there.

BLAINE OIL WELL

The oil well on d. w Skaggs farm
on upper Blaine, in this county, which
we reported last week as probably
good for so barrels per day, was shot
last Monday and flowed at the rate of
$50 to 300 barrels per day They used
all the tanks within reach to save the
oil and now have the well under con-
troll.
The depth is 500 feet and the tsT-
nation is thought to be the "Big In

This seems to be by far the most
important strike yet made in law

The well was drilled by the Union
