is less frilly than dotted swiss dresses in lighter colors These are frivolous and go to any length they choose in the matter of organdy dissipations. Striped dimity, having white ground and stripes in gay coIors, keeps up with them in this matter of organdy friils.
 Besides these irresponsible but charming cotton frocks, there are those of chiffon taffeta, actually even cooler than sheer eottons. Collars and cuffs of organdy contribute to their daintiness also Taffeta proves the best of all choices for making the coolest separate skirts with every thing to recommend it. An example of the taffeta skirt worn with voile blouse is pictured above. And this skirt may have q pretty bodice to match it, with a frilly vestee of lace, a fcllu of organdy or other fanciful aids that convert it into an afternoon dress. In this way the skirt does dou ble duty.

N VEN the sheerest things we wear G contrive to be little burdensome in the dog days. They prove them selves possessed of an unsuspected and unwelcome warmth, especially if they are of the clinging sorts of ma terials, and clinginess is the very last thing one will long for in hot weather. All our concern is to keep as cool as possible and look considerably cooler than we feel-and now is the day of crisp fabrics-organdie, dimity, swiss and taffeta. The first of these ac- counts for many a delightful midsum- mer frock and figures as trimming in frills, or accessories, on dresses of all these other materials.
 An old favOrite appears among the crisp, cool frocks and skirts hat look comfortable in swetering weather. Dark blue swiss with scattered dots of white, frightened with collar and cuffs of organdy, makes many a re- freshing looking dress and is joy to behold in the country or on the streets.

A Chicago advertising man drove through to the advertising convention in Indianapolis. A few miles outside of Indianapolis he had bad luck. His car skidded into the ditch and he had to wait till daylight to get someone to pull him out.
 At 3 80 q. m. he went to nearby farmhouse, knocked at the door and the farmers wife answered the call. The advertising man asked: Could I get your husband to pull my car out of the ditch?'
 "Well, that's too bad she replied. ''You should have got here before breakfast. He took the horses over half an hour ago and is down the road two miles there and plowin' by now"

Experts Say Smokers Are Best Fighters

7 ION GfTY.-Ferris Brown is lace f. maker in Zion City. Despite his rather effeminate calling, he is reg ular he-man, and has more spunk in him than you might imagine.
 In fact you might almost believe tkat in this lacemaker the spirit of the embattled farmers at Bunker Hill and Lexington had been revived, the spirit of '76. He is of the stuff of which the early Christian martyrs were made. He might eXclaim with Patrick Henry, Give me liberty or give me death"
 And in Ferris Brown, Zion's down trodden little band of liberals see a champion, St. George come to slay the dragon. Lo, a lacemaker in arms "a plumed knight
 Like many of his fellow craftsmen Ferris is in Zion City, but not of it. He confesses to one personal indulg- ence. He is admittedly fond of his flag.
