THERE is A MAN IN OUR TOWN.
Who is to married soon, and al
ready the woman is taking tyrannical
charge of him. For surely every man
has a perfect right to carry his
money as he sees fit. And yet the
woman in this case insists that he
change the habit he has of carrying
extra change in his purse where he
has to fish and feel around to get
a dime and carry it loose and jingly
in his pocket, where it is easy to pro-
cure and to spend. And so he has
purchased a new pocket book suitable
only for large bills and big fat dol
lars and his pockets are full OF
"chink''-and his first freedom is
gone!
THE NEW STYLES.
tIlSY AuS. 4o--E lESl OlSpldy
of styles since the war began is be-
ing attended by about 500 American
buyers. who, however, are showing
themselves to be more independent of
the dictates of French dressmakers
than ever before.
Brown, according to the new mod
els. is again in marked favor Soft
materials are used generally and
flounces, panniers and designs of the
models tend I'd ho frfN fIxy
feminine appearance.
There is not the slightest suggestion
OF the masculine, tailor-made effects
of the past.
Paris is clinging to skirts hanging
seven to eight inches from the ground.
American buyers, the dressmakers say,
are ridiculing the shortness of the
gowns, altho frankly admitting Amer
lean skirts have been too long 1t is
said to be likely the American women
VIII be offered a compromise in
lengths One prominent American
buyer laughed at a dressmaker's sug-
Sestion that Americans want long
skirts because American women do
Tot have pretty ankles.
Altho the Americans designed their
own styles to a great extent during
the war, they apparently are finding
much that is worth while in the Paris
display rooms.
Brown, the buyers say, is shown in
scores of various shades. Scores of
beautiful models do not wear corsets
and make every effort to preserve the
soft contour of their figures.
The styles generally show a slight
fulness on the hips in the form of soft
panniers and pleats and accordion
pleats.
Collars are high in many cases.
Wool embroideries, fiat pailettes and
metallic ribbons of a leather-like tex
ture form the trimmings for afternoon
frocks. the majority of which are
made with coats to match
All materials are soft. Velveteen,

THAT, literally, is the reason
4 why the American has won the
proud distinction of being the best
educated man in the world.
Because a cheap, dependable, IL
Illuminating oil made from petroleum
was developed first in the United
States, the people of this country
had the opportunity of studying
late into the night long before such
luxury was possible elsewhere.
The petroleum industry, in which
the Standard Oil Company was a
pioneer, has made it possible, even
in remote places, for man to read,
studyandacquire knowledge in COM
fort, after the days work is done.
The tremendous development of
America shows that the American
has ''burned the midnight oil'' to
good purpose.
The seven men who manage the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana),
Tic 1S,OOO 1HSu anu WOIuCH WHO
carry on the business, and the 1923
stockholders, all are proud of the
fact that their Company has been,
and is, such potent influence in
the development of the nation.
Today the Standard Oil Company
Qndiana) operates the greatest and
most complete refinery in the
world, together with several others
of lesser output.
Throughout 1 1 states the Company
distributes the refined products so
thoroughly that even those in the
remote corners are able, at all
times, to get their requirements at
a low price.
Thus is shown another marked
benefit accruing to all from the ac-
tivities of the Standard Oil Com
pany indiana as public servant.

Twentieth Century Mer-
chandising.

In these days of submarines

aeromall delivery, scientific and
mechanical men are keeping &c.
lively abreast of the times.
1t is only in the merchandising
fields that we find men who still
cling to before the. war methods
and ideas.
Never before has the buying pub
lie demanded such high class
goods and seemed willing TO make
the SAVING investment of pur
chasing THE BEST even at some
what higher prices
But with this desire for better
goods has come also the ART of
CAMOUFLAGE which is being
practiced to a greater extent in
the manufacture of household
goods than it ever was on the
battle front.
Probably the greatest field
for MANUFACTURING CAMOU
FLAGE is found in the making
of furniture. So advanced is this
art of deception that the mex
%perienced buyer finds himself en-
tireIy at the mercy of his dealer
