Sgho WILL play together and who en-

i've stars, however brilliant they may
ne, whose incfinaticns run to lndl-

Stadsvold possibly is wrong in his
Judgment that Gaines, Kiger Outright

which he can select But these men

play the law of supply and demand
THAT ii be recommended to these
several fair price committees through
out the state that they get in imme-

the United States district attorney OF
their judicial district and furnish hlh
any evidence of profiteering in their
communities, and also that they FUR
nish any evidence OF profiteeIing to
the prosecuting attorneys OF the COM
munities in order that they may take
action before the Grand jur1es.
THAT II be recommended to the
people OF the state and especially the
farmers and truck growers, that they
increase, their production in order TO

"That in the cities and towns where

The governor declared in his talk

Mayor Craddock, of Clarksburg, Sc

It is evident that blouses and smocks
are aspiring to rival evening frOcks
and the chances are that they are GO
ing to succeed. There is no end to
the fanciful ways in which they are
made and nothing is too eXtravagant
In the way of trimming them. For din
ner and theater wear they have adj
vantages and they appear in brilliant
and light colors. and in combinations
of two cOlOrs in materials, with dec
oratiOns that call into play many adj
ditional hues. The peplum blouse, the
apron blouse and the smock have a
gay future ahead Of them.
GeOrgette crepe, chiffon and net
with chantilly and gold-run laces new
w recruited in their company are the
ilmy mediums in which evening
btouses are made. Worn with skirts
OF black satin they achieve a toilette
that may be worn with assurance.
~ Among color combinations, emer-
ahd or even more vivid green's with
hlack are distinctive. Copper colored
crspe with gold lace, champagne with
black embroidery, peacock blue and
light green show the fOndneSs for vir-
Nle colors. There is new sort of dec
Grafton that looks like the finest bead

lines-and this arrangement of the ma.
terial is borrowed from a Paris de
signer who introduced it early in the
season. Aside from this small vagary
it is plain. The bodice has a plain
back and surplice front filled in with
flesh-colored georgette. One side of
the front is extended into soft girdle
finished at the front with handsome
beaded ornament. The long sleeves
have a turned-back frill of velveteen.
The small muffler collar is a separate
affair that swathes the neck in soft
folds and buttons at the side. 1t may
be taken off indoors.
Satin gowns reveal that their design
ers are more or less devoted to draped
skirts, the model pictured being among
the simplest of these. In this frOck a
smOck of satin, split to the Wastline
at the left side, is covered with sun
burst pattern and points made of silk
braid cOuched on. The design is an
Aztec inspiration pure and simple ana
a long girdle of satin ending in tassels
repeats it, plain rundown cola,
and deep cuffs of the satin are impOr-
tant details in this frock and help to
account for it's distinction.
The Benson signal., 1919-11-29

a sort of paint put on in dots set close
together and appears in motifs on
girdles of georgette like the blouse.
Blouses in one color are enlivened
with rich girdles of gold or silver bro
cade. Embroideries in silk and in
beads, often used together, and Oc-
casionally mock jewels and gold tissue
confess that nothing is too splendid
for the blouse which is to be worn in
the evening, and narrow bands of dark
fur find themselves placed to the best
advantage on lace and geOrgette.
Two pretty examples of the mode are
shown here. In one of them crepe
de chine appears with satin in an odd,
original model with wOOdbine leaves
in silk and beads, embroidered on the
satin. 1t has an apron at the front,
bloused at the waistline and bordered
with the embroidered satin. The long
sleeves flare at the wrist and are fin
ished with a satin band. Pale gold
and turquoise blue are, as always, hap
py together in the blouse at the right.
Blue beads give a good account Of
themselves as trimming and the
sleeves challenge us to pronounce them
the most graceful of the many styles
that help to make the season interest
ing

Just how it happens has never been
explained, but it happens every little
while that a certain style seizes the at
tention. simultaneously, of women all
over the length and breadth of the
land. Merchants wake up some morn
ing to find that apparently every WOln-
an has made up her mind over night
that she wants one kind of fabric, one
particular color, one style. Just now
it seems that every woman wants
velSe" gown, in addition to the satin
frock for which there has been a uni
versaI demand. 1t seems that the
shops saw this wave of demand rolling
in, apd that designers and manufac-
turers were prepared for it,
Designers require supple materials
for frocks and they have determined
on chiffon velvets in very wide widths,
and the finest grades of velveteen, as
best yuited to their purposes. These
are used for afternoon and evening
dresses The heavier grades of vel
veteen will answer for suits, but the
more flexible stuffs are liked for every
thing and chiffon velvets are in such
demand that they bring very high
prices The best grades of velveteen
are by no means cheap. BY way of
recompense, velvet frocks are very
simply designed and fussy decorations
are conspicuous by their absence on
them; so that the minimum of goods
~ required.
These points are apparent in the
pretty frOck for afternoon, shown at
the left of the two pictured here. 1t is Of
wide, lightweight velveteen in marine
blue. This skirt has six round plaits
yet on at each side--widening the nip

Dean Darrach points out that the bet
ter health strides in the army were
made in spite of unfavOrable condi-
tions of war; and credited the achieve
ment to the marvellous development of
the science of medicine and hygiene in
recent years.
"While we may not expect to at
tain perfect health we certainly are
headed in that direction" Doctor Dar-
rach said. "We no longer merely are
checking disease or curing and allevi-
ating the ills of mankind. We are
