DR.. w. S. YAZELL

A few nights ago a Democratic
working man gave to DR.. Yazells
campaign a slogan when he remarked
that no man in all of Mason county
was more worthy to bear the slogan
of "The Poor Mans Friend" than was
DR.. Yazell In his long practice in
Maysville the doctor has never failed
to answer a call in sickness no matter
whether he saw compensation or not.
He has always made his charges ac-
cording to a mans pocket book and
has thereby won to himself this title
of being the Poor Mans Best Friend.
Hundreds Of his patients. regardless
of party affiliation, have appreciated
through these years his kindness. He
has been the poor mans friend when
the poor man worst needed friend
and the sort of a man who has been
poor mans friend in the practice OF
his profession will most certainly be
the poor mans friend in the legisla-
tive halls of our state. These patients
who have been befriended through
these years will most certainly re-
member that display of friendship
when they part the curtains in the
voting booth.

The blouse of georgette crepe needs
no one to sing its praises. This ex-
quisite fabric is a permanent acqui-
sitlon, and has made a place in the
esteem of women that 1t will be diff
flcult to usurp. But we are grateful
to the blouse makers who have turned
their talents to designing new styles,
in which two colors, instead of one,
are used. This color combination leads
up TO new trimming ideas and lends an
added interest to incoming styles in
spring blouses.
Along with the two-color blouses
comes thread embroidery, more strong
ly featured this season than ever. In
the picture above a blouse of light
and dark %georgette is shown, with
light and dark heavy embroidery silk
making a rich decoration for it, In an
embroidery that Is quickly done and
is not heavy. Any two colors that
harmonize may be used in these two
color blouses. Favorite combinations
are beige and navy, cerise and navy.

colors are used for these. One of
them is shown in the picture made
with an accordion-plaited skirt Of
light pink crepe de chine and a short
kimonO of the same material. This
kimono is true to form so far as its
embroidered wild roses and rose foil
age are concerned, but 1t departs from
the original japanese model, having
fronts that lengthen into a girdle that
ties in the back. Its neck and front
edges have folds Of georgette crepe
set in, and a border Of narrow black
ribbon. The ribbon follows the girdle
to the end but the plaits stop at the
waistline. These folds of georgette
with the band Of black ribbon make a
pretty finish for the flowing sleeves.
The skirt Of this negligee is long, as
is the rule with negligees. 1t might be
even longer. Satin slippers go well
with 1t, but there are many lovely,
fancy boudoir slippers of ribbon or
other materials to choose from, since
a negligee must have footwear of its
own character to go with it.
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1919-02-22

The land of the negligee is the land
of perpetual summer that may be found
within four walls inclosing a steam
heating apparatus, or in other walls
that look out upon summer skies. The
negllgee is no respecter of climates |;
1t insists upon being colorful and flow
erful and enchantingly suggestive Of
spring zephyrs and garden paths,
whatever its environment. 1t is an in
spiration, an invitation to leisure and
idle hours, a happy change from or
binary work-a-day clothes. Every
woman should do herself a kindness
by adopting a pretty negligee as a
playmate. 1t will put her in a pleas
ant frame of mind.
Usually these fanciful garments are
made of sheer and soft materials as
lace, georgette, chiffon and fine mulls,
that float about the figure no more
~burdensome than the air and not very

and very thin wash silks make negli-
gees a little bit heavier and equally
soft and becoming. The same gay

and navy, the last being the Victory
cOlorS.
The blouse pictured is in the Slip
over style, but it fastens on the Shout
der. A panel of the dark g~eorgetts
at the back and front is split into two
panels at Its lower half and serves as
a background for the thread en-
broidery. The sleeves have deep cuffs
of the dark georgette and a fare at
the bottom finished with n band of the
dark crepe. A pretty finish for the
round neck is made by twisting the
light and dark embroidery silk to-
gether in a rope of which loops and
ends are made and placed at the front
Of the neck.
1t will be noticed that the belt of
the skirt worn with this blouse sets be-
low the normal waistline and is fitted
about the figure. This gives a new
long waist which appears to be max
ing Roadway as a feature of spring
styles.

in the Canon City district.
Since planting the first apple orchard in Canon City in 1870, he has put
out thousands of apple and other fruit trees in this section, and now, in spite
of his four score and four years, he still gives his personal attention to his
60acre apple orchard, which bears some $4,000 or 10000 boxes annually.
1t is an interesting fact that many trees in this orchard, although forty
to fifty years old, are still as healthy and vigorous a a five years of age, and
re apparently good for another half century.
