Something New.
More than a century ago the ILL.,
fated Marie Antoinette popularized a
simple dress, known as La Laveuse or
the washerwoman dress. Today the
house of Premet is making charming
frOcks of this kind for it's favorite Gus
toners, who order a half dozen at a

country.
Fichus Resemble Quaint Capes.
The frill aprons which are part of
the dresses are demure and charming.
Sometimes when pale-tinted cotton
fabrics are chosen for these gowns
little frills of black organdie are used
for the collar, cuffs and ends of the
apron strings. One of these Premet
dresses is here illustrated. Any home
dressmaker could easily copy it, and
with very little work have morning
dresses that are distinctive as we'll as
comfortable and useful.
Another pleasing French idea that
could be utilized in having clothes
made by a seamstress, or perhaps in
having gown remodeled-for it is
difficult to get remodeling ideas-is the
fichu bodice which Lanvin has empha-
sized in SO many of her dresses this
season. This fichu resembles a quaint
shoulder cape. 1t is a simple little
thing to make and is picturesque and
becoming to all slender women.

skirts to equally straight, high-waisted
bodices, and then drapes around them
the fichu, which she makes of lace, en-
broidery or crepe. When crepe Is used

Tempers and Tight Collars.

DR.. Leonard Williams, lecturing on
Common Sense" at nursing con-
ference and exhibition in London, said
that people with tight collars did not
drain their brains properly, and often
suffered from bad tempers. He had
noticed that since women had given
up high collars and were wearing gar
ments which gave complete freedom
to the neck they had become sweeter
tempered.

HELEN TAFT, COLLEGE PRESIDENT

There's thunder for feminists in
the career of Miss Helen Taft, only
daughter of a former president, Will
liam Howard Taft. In 1917 Miss Taft
was made dean Of Bryn Mawr college,
from which she had graduated only
two years before. And the other day
a dispatch announced that she had
been elected president Of the school to
serve during the years leave of alb
sence granted DR.. M. Carey Thomas.
1t wasn't long ago that Miss Taft
made her social debut in the White
House. Then a student at Bryn Mawr,
she gave up her studies after her
sophomore year and went to Wash
ington where the weight of the social
responsibilities of the White House
fell upon her shoulders, as her mother
was i'll most OF the time.
Her success as a hostess and So
ciety leader was acclaimed by the
diplomatic circle in which she ruled.

WHY DOES COAL KEEP GOING UP?

Senator Joseph S. Frevlinghuysen
of New Jersey offered a resolution
Is. Res. 1867 the other day in sub
stance as follows:
Whereas for several years the
price of coal to the consumer has
from time to time been largely in
creased and
Whereas for a period this increase
in price was attributed to existing
war conditions; and
Whereas in spite of the fact that
since the armistice was signed, No
vember II, 1918, normal peace condi-
tions have prevailed, the price of coal
has continued to rise, without any
apparent economic or other proper
reason therefor: Therefore be it
Resolved, That tic committee on
Interstate commerce, or any subcom-
mittee thereof, be instructed to make
inquiry into the cause or causes which
have brought about the enormous in
crease in the market price of coal, and
TO that end obtain full data regarding
matters bearing upon the question III

HINDU TURBAN is POPULAR
MiIIiners Must Be Credited With Some
Remarkably Smart Effects in Those
StyIes-Both Plain and Printed
Foulards Worn.

Paris milliners are sending us mid
summer hats that are in delightful con-
trast to the utterly unreasonable vel
Vet-crowned hats with tulle or organ
die brims we have been wearing dur
ing the last two summers, says Sarah
Marshall Cook, writing in the New
York Tribune.
The Smartest tulle hats are crown
less, but for those who object to hav-
ing their carefully coifed heads dis
arranged by the breezes a soft puffy
layer of tulle is provided as a crown.
Every type of both day and evening
headdress that French women are
wearing carries out some phase of this
hat, over which Paris has gone quite
mad
Turbans Are Worn in Evening.
An everlasting source of inspiration
now it has found it's way into hats of

oriental headdress, but the real thing,

Lewis, the man milliner of Paris. has
had phenomenal success with trans
parent hats. His favOrite model is in
shape very much on the order of the
head covering worn by the beauties of
the court of Louis XVI. The brim of
this crownless hat consists of frills of
brown silk net, held in at the back by
a Saucy bow of the same material. Any
woman with chestnut hair who tops
her well-coifed locks with hat such
as that may be sure of looking partic-
ularly lovely.
When we saw metal brocades in our
summer evening gowns and hats we
thought the craze for this material had
reached its climax; but that it had not

parasols. Those of black taffeta are
finished with deep bands of metal bro
caded ribbon. Black tulle parasolS
have bands of embroidery done in sill
yer and gold threads.
Handles are as elaborate as parasols
themselves. Ebony sticks studded
with turquoise beads are used, as are
also sticks of ivory. Some of these
ivory handles have two bracelet rings,
one of ebony and the other Of ivory.
Huge knobs of carved 7ood finish the
sticks of the new coaching parasols.
In contrast to these elaborate sun
shades are lovely little garden sets,
consisting of pagOda parasols made of
mousseline frilled at the edge with
two rows of narrow black ribbon and
of hats made of the same materials.
Plain and Printed FouIards.
We have, at one time or another, ex-
perienced the exhaustion and despair
which come from the search for frocks
to wear on trips to town that will give
us the coolness and comfort provided
by dresses of perishable light summer
materials without making us conSpic-
uouS. French dreSsmakers are com
bining plain and printed foulards in
way that is altogether charming to
make midsummer dresses suitable for
such wear.

nations is made by Renee, who is con-

work with renewed energy
1t is commonly remarked that
there are too many organizations
in town like this A man once
said that there should be one or.
ganization formed merely to kill off
lot of other organizations that
take up peoples time and accom-
plish nothing. That fellow must be
pretty sour sort of a pessimist.
1t would be hard to find any society
in Monroe City that has existed for
any length of time which has not
accomplished excellent results. The
mere fact that it has existed shows
that it fills need.
The individual by himself accom-
plishes next to nothing. When he
associates himself with others, the
combined power of the mass be-
comes force and gets things done
The churches maintain moral and
spiritual aims, promote philanthro-
pies and tighten the dark corners
of the earth. Social organizations
bring people together in pleasant
friendship. Fraternal organizations
relieve the sick and lonely and sor-
rowing. and unite the working forces
of a community. Civic organiza-

Refused to Indict

When a husband returns unex-
pectedly to his home at night and
finds strange man there with his
wife. and that strange man is clad
in the husbands night robe. the
Grand Jury has no right to return
an indictment charging the husband
with murder because he saw fit to
shoot the strange man to death.
That is the way a Texas Grand
Jury felt after investigating all the
facts in connection with the killing
of Charles Wiseman. prominent
Dallas and Fort Worth oil man. who
was shot to death in the palatial
no me of W. A. Turner, a wealthy
oil operator on the night of August

turn an indictment after hearing
the evidence in the case.

that Turner and his Young son re.

as secreted in the house. and that
when he came out of one of the
rooms he was wearing MIR. Turner's
night robe. 1t further appeared
that Wiseman attempted to use a

Rev. Bolen Honored

Last Sunday was Home. Coming
day for the Methodist Church in
this city, and a large crowd was pres.
ent at all four sessions held during
the day.
Rev. H. c. Bolen after forty four
years of faithful service is retiring
from the ministry. Rev. Bolen in
the moi ming preached his farewell
sermon, his address marking the
formal end of three years of ex
cellent work here.
Special music was also furnished
at the. morning service. After the
services the large crowd consisting
of church members and large
number of friends gathered in the
park adjoining the church grounds
and enjoyed the big basket dinner
given in honor of Rev. and Mrs
Bolen. Rev. B. T. Wharton, of the
Christian Church, preached at the
afternoon services; in the evening
the Epworth League gave special
program consisting Of songs and
m usic talks by Rev Bolen and
others.
Rev. and Mrs. Bolen will leave to-
day for their new home in Shelbina.
These good people have gained a
great number of close friends during
their three years of stay in this city
and it is with regret that the peo.
pie of Monroe City will see them
leave.
Rev. Bolen's work here has been
very successful, and the record
made by the church here during
the past year is worth speaking Of
they having added fifty names to
its membership rolls in that short
length of time. Besides that they
have raised $2688 foreiOrae church
work and obtained $5,169 for the
Centenary Campaign launched 10
spring by the Methodist of the couD-
try. All expenses and finances
have been met in full and in ad
dition 5000 above the pastors
salary has been awarded Rev. Bolen
as a token of appreciation for bis
faithful and efficient service in the
past.
