By ELOISE.

More and more are women
adopting the dainty overblouses for
wear at home during leisure hours.
These blouses are chosen because
they serve two purposes. They are
loose and comfortable as a negligee
and yet they are formal enough and
attrac.-se enough to be worn when
receiving informally or at the
luncheon or dinner table in the in
timacy Of ones family. They offer
a great variety as to style. color and
material and may reflect the per-
sonality OF the wearer better than
any street suit or frock. There
must always be, OF necessity, a Ger
tain sameness or conservative tone
to the frocks for street wear, but
the blouse o. costume designed for
home wear may be Of any color and
any design to please the wearer.
Tho new tangerine color is shown
in this lovely blouse Of chiffon.
which Is . good illustration OF the
new eblouse for informal wear or
BLOUSE Intime, :" as the French call
1t. It is made on graceful lines
with a round neck and short, wide
sleeves. There IL Q fascinating de-
sign in colored worsted embroidery
and there is q chiffon lining in q
harmonizing shade. A wide belt OF
the chiffon marks q waistline. This
may be worn with satin or wool
skirts and makes . stunning cos
tune with either.

SCHOOL RENTAL.
70 Be CHARGED
Increased Demand Tor School Halls
for Meetings. Leads Beard =
Adopt BALES.

Increasing tendency to use not
only the high school auditorium
but grade school buildings - well
for meetings and programs not un-
der supervision Of school authori-
ties has led the Moline board OF
education to adopt rules for rental
aand use of school buildings. The
rules were agreed upon ut monthly
meeting OF the board last night.
Fees to defray actual expenses
entaiIed are charged for the high
school auditorium amount to SIS
for evening and SIS for afternoon;
gymnasium SO, or with auditorium
$50; Central grammar and McKin-
ley school auditorium $3.50. and
William Carr and Logan school
auditoriums IS. This fee includes
also rehearsal privilege. Respon-
sibility of care of the building rests
with the renter, and special provis-
ion must be made for maintenance
OF good order when children under
IA years are admitted without adult
accompanying. The board Of edu-
cation IN all instances reserves
right to rental Of the buildings.
The new rules do not mean
however, that the buildings will
not be open free to individuals OF
organizations having distinctly
educational value or promoting
community welfare and 10 whose
meetings no admission is charged
or a collection taken.
