Of the famous regiment commanded by

Colonel Goldin gave series Of
reminiscent talks 10 soldiers at Camp
Pike. IN which he reiuted many Storic,

"There were only two bullet wounds
in Colonel Clusters body" Colonel
Goldin said. either one Of which

back from his herb hun, until he
learned that the Indians had got the

Colonel Goldin was orc OF Custer's

SOLDIERS GO BACK TO
FARMS WHEN RELEASED

The majority OF soldiers who en-
tered the army IRON the farms are re-
turning to them Immediately alter re-
ceiying their discharges from mill
tary duty according 10 reports iron
iarm-help specialists of the United
States Department OF Agriculture,
This furnishes the brightest spot IN
a situation that is not yet entirely
satisfactory but that promises steady
improvement, although there IS still
no indication OF a decided movement
back to the farm by men who were
attracted from food production work
by high wages in industrial pursuits.
Careful surveys made in army
camps by arm-he,p specialist" fur
nish ample proof TO rciu,e statements
that have appeared that from Is per
cent to ~ percent OF the men who
were called by the army from the
farms are not returning 10 them, In
a Virginia camp the specialists found
that 9S2 percent OF such men dis
charged actually returned to The
{; rms. In one week the specialists
interviewed 202l men at this camp
II was found that 9jj were from
farms and that all but fifteen OF that
number intended TO return. During
the following week 2,l0S men were
interviewed. 1t was found that o9l
were from farms and all but fourteen
intended to return. The next week 40
men were interviewed. or this mum
Der 564 had formerly been employed
on farms and all but five intended to
return.
These figures are the actual result
Of personal interviews with each man
II was also found that a number OF
men who had previously been engaged
in other occupations expressed a de
sire to take up farming. During The
three weeks mentioned ? percent OF
the men discharged and who were mo-
farming when they entered the army
intended to take up farming
OF the l8 percent OF the soldiers
who had been on farms previous t'
entering the army, and who di- moi
intend to return, the reason given by

DRESS ALLOWANCE
 FIXED BY BOARD

According to the minimum wage board" in Washington, S231 will en- able modest young woman, business professional, or home worker, to dess well, though not extrava gantly, for one year. Before the war she might have dressed equally well for $125 yearly and similar possibilities may return at any time. Meanwhile, a lot of fun may be extracted from the said modest young woman's sensi- ble efforts to dress as well as possi- ble and still beat the game"
 The minimum wage board list be- gins with one suit and one coat a year, and ends with an appropriation of S16 for miscellaneous dress incl dentals such as rubbers belts, neck wear, etc. "A winter coat one year, a spring coat the next; a winter suit one year. spring suit the next; winter, summer and nid-SeaSons' hat yearly; this is the standard most com monly observed in cities" says tho record. 'In smaller towns prices may be lower, but more attention often is paid to the newest styles especially by the younger girls, so that the stan dard is kept fairly even. When such indu1gences as evening coats or spec ial suits are deemed necessary, some other item must be curtailed or omit ted"

CHAPTER XIV.
The Drauon Takes a Hand.


 The company's automobile honked outside. Hardin frowned across the table at his wife. You're surely not going such night as this?"
 Gerty gave one of her light, elusive shrugs. No need to answer Tom when he was in one of his black moods. This was the first word he had spoken since he had entered the tent. Sue had warned Innes by a lifted eye brow-they must be careful not to provoke him. Something had gone wrong at the office, of course! How much longer could she stand his hu- mors, these ghastly silent dinners?
 "Tfle river on a rampage, and we go for a drive!" jeered Hardin.
 The flood was not serious-yet Tom loved to cry Wolff" No one was alarmed in town-Patton, Mrs. Youngberg, would have told her. Of course, ono neves knew what that dreadful river would do next, but if one had to wait always to see what the rivers next prank would be, one would never get anywhere!
 Inue5 was leaving the table. "Wel1, I suppose I should be flashing on my hat!' Gerty's pretty lips hardened as

JOSEPHINE DASKAM BACON,

Josephine Dodge Daskam Bacon, the authoress, was born in Stamford 43 years ago today. She Is descended from the Huguenots on her fathers side and from the Aldens, who, came over on the Mayfiower, on her moth- CTS. It was while a student at Smith College that Miss Daskam began her literary career. In 1900 she publish ed a volume of Smith College Stor- ies,' This was followed by another collection of girls stories, but she made her first decided impression on the general public with a magazine story, The Madness of Philip" and soon was contributing to the leading magazines of America. In 1908 Miss Daskam became the bride of Belden Bacon, a prominent New York law yer. Among her many successful lit erary works since then, perhaps the best known is '"The Memoirs of a Baby" a volume that will never cease to amuse parents

THE FOUNDER OF
 THE CHAUTAUQUA

The first to suggest the scheme which resulted in the organization of the Chautauqua Literary and Scien- tific Circle was Lewis Miller, an in ventor and philanthropist of Akron, Ohio, who died 22 years ago today. Miller was the leader in outlining the plans and promoting the institution for carrying culture and instruction to the masses. The organization was completed at Chautauqua, x. Y, in 1878, with MT. Miller as president of the association, and his able assistan nt Rev. pr. John H. Vincent, who afterward became a Meth odist bishop as chancellor of the faculty. From a local institution the Chautauaua circles quickly spread over the United States and Canada and later to Great Britain. Japan, India, South America, South Africa and Australia. Some of the greatest men of America including it is hardly necessary to state, William Jennings Bryan, former Secretary of State-have lectured from the Chautauqua platforms. In addition to the courses of lectures and the students sessions al Chautau- qua, the society, through its publica- tions and home study courses, has ac- complished an important work in en- coura ging education.

the girl left the tent. These Hardins always loved to spoil her enjoyment. They would like her to be q nun, cioiStered nun!
 At the opening of the door, the wind tore the pictures from the piano.
 Gerty ran into her room, shutting herself in against further argument.
 She came back into the room, pow dered and heavily yelled against the wind. A heavy winter ulster covered
 the new null gown which she had not , worn at supper, though Innes could have helped her with the hooks! But there was always so much talk about
 everything!
 They had to face the gale as the machine swept down the wind-crazed street.
 It was too bad to have a night like thisi And all her work-Tom and his sister would have 1t go for noth- ing! She was made Of stubborner
 stuff than that. Life had been deal- ing out mean hands to her, but she
 would not drop out Of the game, &C.,
 knowledge herself beaten-luck would turn, she would get better cards. In the hall of the Desert hotel, the party was assembling. Mrs. Hardin's
 rowing eye secured the hall. Rickard
 was not there. Patton called her from the desk. Some one wanted her at the telephone. It was Rickard, of course, at the office; to say he had
 been detained. The fear which had been chilling her passed by. It was not Rickard on the wire, but Mrs. Hatfield, loquacious and coquet- tish. She urged a frightful neuralgia,
 and hoped that she was not putting her hostess to any inconvenience at | this last moment. She wanted to l i,roIong the conversatiop-had the | guests all come? Were they really going?

 half teaspoonful cinnamon. Wash and soak the prunes over night; Se- move from water and put on top of double boiler (without water) and steam one hour. Set aside to cool.

 are applied as lines of fringe or
 in band effect, as in the case of
 the frock above described or
 again they are noted in little
 clusters as one would term, with
 small bouquets of flowers.
 Fringe is also frequently used as a decoration for frocks of the dressy type. For instance, a charming lit tie evening frock of soft rose char mouse showed the. low round neck and short sleeves trimmed with a line of fringe. The skirt had a full panel at the back and front-drawn in at the bottom in Turkish effect-and ax- tached to a rather narrow underskirt the panels hanging lower than the underskirt

The bo1ero is likely to come in again as a rival to the little cape jackets worn with frilly skirts.
 All-white suits are worn with white capes lined with brilliant color, or the brilliant color ap- pears on the outside and the lin- ing is white.
 Bandeau headdresses are worn they are particularly becoming to a woman's type.
 At the present time Paris has stamped with her approval com binations of metallic hue and al- most any color on the calendar. Thus many of the snartest new ribbons show silver or gold threads running one way, with the colored threads running the other. These are used extens- lively in connection with the new evening frocks. Among the in teresting ones are gold and brown, gold with a bright blue, and silver with emerald green. Such a ribbon would, of course, give the key to the color scheme of the evening frock on which it was used.
 Pale blue Georgette over yellow Is a color combination seen in some Of the newest lingerie. The effect is q rather vague green. For the young woman with complexion fair and clear such a color combination would have great charm in an evening frock.
 Another color combination that isn't pretty but that has the right" look to 1t is violet and n4 hrn are used with a vivid red in some of the evening hats in Paris and though brown and red would to most persons seem to be a very unlovely combination, this carries the seal of fashions ap- provaL Cream and cerise are Interestingly combined in one of the new foulards1 and this might suggest a color scheme for an af- ternoon frock of considerable dis unction-
 Particularly pleasing at all times are combinations of two harmonizlAg shades of the same color. They are never difficult as are some of the more daring contrasting combina- tions.
