country! But In order for Jimmy
Coon and Teddy Possum to get at the
honey, which was under the timex

had to roll up the carpet near their

The flapper has no idea of being
left out Of the procession which is
going to wear the vivid cherry and
blue victory colors. And of course
she need never worry because she
cannot be too old to wear red. Red
is the color of youth. Bright, glowing
triumphant red seems to typify the
| spirit Of the young girl of, today bet

pastel shades remind us of our grand
mothers.
This suit pictured is an odd COM
Hination of the old MILDLY frock, the
coat dress and the new short capes.
The dress part is in one piece with
a button trimmed skirt, and a MILDLY
blouse which has bell shaped sleeves
and pockets just in front of the hips.
A jaunty cape which barely goes, be-
low the waistlfne. fastens onto the
frock at the shoulders and may be
worn or not according to the whims
OF the young miss.
Navy gabardine edged in red silk
braid is the clever combination and
there are facings of red silk on the
cuffs and collar also. The hat which
is designed for Just such a suit is
also developed in the victory colors
tits a variation Of the tricolor shape
which is SO becoming to most young
girls. Red satin yer the frame
and blue beads almost cover the
satin. A bead ornament is placed or
the upturned brim.

cial calendar for this week has sched-

night there are two dances, that I'M
doubtedly will prove popular-one at
the knights of Columbus club rooms.
where the pro%-cathedral will enter
tain, and at the Guild hall there is to
be a dance and card party given by
the guild of st. Paul's church.
The Pro-Cathedral club issued a
large number of invitations for their
dance tonight, and the first dance
given by this club recently. was such
a marked success that it is probable
the greater number of the invitations
extended for tonight will be. accepted.
An excellent orchestra has been en-
gagged for the dancing, and the affair
is in charge of Mr.. and Mrs. Cleary
Monley,, Mr.. and Mrs. B. T. Cullen.
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Glare, Mr.. and
