the result that we had heatless, light

Spanish Influence in Gowns
1t has been said that after the war
the states would open an extensive
trade with South America. Whether
this is realized or not, one thing is
positive, that is the Spanish influence
that seems to have taken possession of
the most exclusive designers. The
one that impressed most was an i'm
ported model of black tricollette
which falls straight from round
neck and is girdled with self material
in the form of narrow sash. The
long sleeves are of black lace and the
entire gown is finely embroidered in
green and peacock-blue silk floss in
delicate sprays that traverse the ma
terial lengthwise. Really quite an
unusual thing is this semi-evening af-
fair that just recalls all the allure
ments of sunny Spain.

Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., secre-
tary of the Republican Publicity Asso-

try the following statement last Tues
day from Washington, D. c.;
"With democracy in the making in
Europe the people of this country are
witnessing the democratic party in the
unmaking in the United States.
Whilst the various bureaucrats ap-
pointed by an administration which

did to win the war, their utter inabil-
ity to handle the problems of peace
or war gives distress to the people and
assurance that 1920 will find written
on the headstone of the party founded
by jefferson this epitaph: Wrecked

Between-SeasOn Hats

Satin, the old standby, has not for
saken its duties and is back with all
its gloss and freshness to serve as the
material for the hats which are mere
ly known as between season hats.
Temperament in gowns is often heard
of, but temperament in hats, rarely.
Yet a famous modiste insists that in
satin hat one can become quite as
temperamental as in an intimate tea
gown. This is very true, for with the
fabric that has a delicate stateliness,
that is ever present in satin, one may
shape it in a myriad of ways and
eventually discover the most becom-
ing and fitting form for ones face.
There fore a satin hat should be the
smartest part of ones costume.

Spanish Influence in Gowns

Both the models shown here bring
in the Spanish atmosphere in the low
waist lines. The first is a simple
flock for misses, and because of the
simplicity of line it can afford wool
embroidery of warning colors which
are brought into harmony through ar
tstic efforts. The other is a more
sophisticated model and has the en-
broidery over the entire dress. The
odd way in which the sash is applied
is the salient feature of this dstinc-
tive frock.

TWO DAYS ONLY
No Charge for Examination

The doctor in charge, on account of
having been in the United States army
service, has not been able to visit the
different cities for the past seven
months, but from now on will make
his regular calls. He is graduate in
medicine and surgery and is licensed
by the State of Washington. He visits
professionally the more important
towns and cities and offers to all who
call on this trip, consultation and ex-
animation free, except the expense Of
treatment when desired.
According to his method of treat
ment he does not operate for chronic
appendicitis, gall stones, ulcers of
stomach, tOnsils or adenoids.
He has to his credit many wonder
full results in diseases of the stomach,
liver, bowels, blood skin, nerves,
heart, kidneys, bladder, bedwetting,
catarrh, weak lungs, rheumatism,
sciatica, leg ulcers and rectal all
ments.
If you have been ailing for any
length of time and do not get any
better, do not fail to call, as improper
measures rather than disease are Of
ten the cause of your long standing
trouble.
Remember above date, that exami-
nation on this trip will be free, and
that his treatment is different.

THE WORKMEN'S QUERY

Perhaps McAdoo thinks that since
he raised the wages of railway en-

him credit, and will bestow their CEN

be in control if wages ever come down
again. But perhaps that won't be the

and keep the wages up.
