FIRST THE SNOW THEN
THE SLEET AND THEN
THE FALL WHICH CAM {
AFTER STRUTT|NGNESS

For the second timo this season
the ground is entirely covered with
snow and slcet, and tho principal
work done IN Ardmoro the entire
forenoon was removing tho white de-
brs from sidewalks.
Snow began falling early yesterday
morning and continued throughout
the day and into the night. 1t was
mingled with sleet which made
the snow more in the nature Of coarse
sand than anything else and make
walking extremely difficult, as well
as dangerous. especially on slippery
sidewalks.
The maximum temperature register
ed at the local observatory yesterday
was 33 degrees, the minirnum regis
tered this morning at Z o'clock was
26 degrees. The fields and pastures
In this vicinity are filled with rabbit
hunters today, although the most Of

Among many other things that abb
sorb the attention of home dress
makers, busy with spring sewing,
there are negligees TO be provided for
hours of leisure. Now is the best
time for making these luxurious and
inspiring frivolitles of the wardrobe.
Gay new spring materials are here,
and the business of sewing is in hand.
January and February ought to see
undertakings for the family and negli-
gees, housedresseS, service clothes for
the housewife, about disposed of. Ger
tainly the pretty negligees should not
be overlooked.
Negligees are usually in two gar
ments, that is an underslip and a coat,
or trouser and coat. These styles are
about equally popular and the trOu.
sers are like those worn by Chinese
women or patterned after those of
India. Sometimes a long skirt is SO
draped as to suggest trousers and in
any case these picturesque suits are
fascinating. In the picture trousers
of crepe-de-chine have double frills OF
narrow knife plating about the ankles
The coat is much like a short klmonC
and II is edged with wide lace. A sill

cord and tassel is suspended from the
coat at each side, falling from 4 small
bow of ribbon. These 'tasSels and
cords have no particular reason for
being where they are, except to look
pretty they do add to the grace of
the coat by weighing it. Their. is no
attempt TO follow the style that in
spires a negligee with fidelity to the
original. The Chinese cord and tassel
idea is used along with very pert little
ribbon bows having an American fla
vor, and ribbon rosette with long ends
at the front.
Such sensible things as the combina-
ton undergarment for a little girl,
shown in the picture, must share at
tentlon with beautiful negligees in the
| spring sewing. The body and Knockers
are cut in one, the former gathered
into an elastic band at the knee or on
a straight band that buttons. Neck
and short sleeves are finished with
button-hole stitching Over the edges OF
small scallOps, and the anne garment
Is made with lower neck and sleeve
less for midsummer wear. The weight
of the muslins used varies, too, &C
cording to the season for which tbs
combinations are made.

would be a part although the details of the organization Of that service re

Youths within the prescribed age limits would be required to take four
months military training with provision made for either the regular army

The youths, however would be given an opportunity to elect either TAX
ing this training in a lump o. Of joining the National Guard for a fixed Pc
Rod, during which they would receive the same amount of training IS pre-
scrbed for the fourmOnth period.
Upon completion of this training, the recruits would be placed in a re-

Wadsworth said, could the reserviss be called upon to perform military serv-
ice except n case OF declaration of war.

day has gone by. More and more the
intangible element of style is de
manded and commands n very tangi-

of their smart style and then will
bear study as thoroughly practical.

unusual things, as in the coat shown
