The price for garments thus trim

those which show the new Slavic and
Egyptian embroidery, which does not
balk at anything. There is embroidery
mixed in with the art Of applying,

worked into the surface cloth.

he told Peter that it was no more

and he was glad il he had relieved
Peters mind little. Then he bade
Peter goodbye and flew away TO the
Green Forest.
Peter could hardly wait for the
Black Shadows to creep out from the
Purple Hills that evening. You see,
he was 30 very, very anxious to go
up to Farmer Browns hen yard. But
he knew that it wouldn't be best for
him to do so until the Black Shadows
had crept clear across the Green
Meadows to Farmer Browns hen
yard.
At last Peter felt that it was safe
to start and way he went, ipperty.

Mental Travel for Educands.

BY ELOISE.

The popularity Of the plaid skirt
means that sweaters and scarfs
will be the vogue for fall. Black
and navy will continue to lead in
sweater lines, but beige, tan and
brown will be close seconds. The
very fine weaves are popular this
year and the fall season is showing
the smart novelty of sweater and
long scarf to match. Often there
are smart little knitted or crochet
ed hats to match. It has been said
that fall is an ideal season when
one is equipped with comfortable
toys and sweaters and separate
skirts are the desirable things for
this fall.
This outfit pictured Is a happy
choice for The sports woman who
demands both style and comfort.
The plaid skirt is plain and short
enough to insure comfort in walk
ing. The sweater is a neat little
collarless style which buttons up to
the neck. 1t has q slightly flarine
peplum and is caught in at the
waist by narrow brown belt. The
scarf, which is Of the same beige
or tan shade, is made in the filet
stitch with long fringe finishing the
ends. The sweater is OF a plain
fine weave. Here instead Of a knit.

cred in tan yarn is worn. A white

Miss Mills, a woman slender and
graceful in carriage, with dark blue
eyes and iron gray hair, is an in
teresting figure in the politics Of
today. Her greatest treasure is
her mother, VINO is ninety-four
years old and who was q leader in
the woman's cause more than half
century ago. Her next is her
own work for sufficiency. She is
a graduate Of Cornell university
and has been a prominent figure in
the social, literary and religious
life of Syracuse for thirty years.
Il have never sought public Of
flee" she stated, "but when the
Democrats began to talk about
placing a woman on the state tic
ket and limited that / might be cho-
sen l was glad to assent, largely
because l want a chance to dem
opstrate to the people Of the coun-
try that a woman can DO a full
days work in almost any import
ant office to which she is chosen"
AS to her position on the wet
and dry questions. she always has
been a prohibitionist and now calls
herself constitutional dry, saying:
prohibition should be accepted
as a settled fact, and the minds Of
the people should be turned to 9TH
er unsettled political problems.
There are many things to take
up-schools, charitable institutions
and reform, the prevention of cruel
ty to children and the prevention of
overworking women and children
in the factories are some Of them.

Rock Island people will be inter-

Cyril Graham, the new head of the
organ and theoretical department
Of Augustana college. He is q grad
uate OF the organ and theory de-
partment Of Northwestern univers-

curing a more complete education
Mr.. Graham spent some time in
Europe associating with some OF
the greatest masters. In Berlin he

Mr.. Graham has demonstrated
conclusively his effectiveness as a
teacher of organ, harmony and
composition and has won a high
reputation as composer as we'll.
Some OF his compositions have been
performed by the Chicago Symph-
onv orchestra.
During the past twelve or fifteen
years the new head has had charge
of the organ and theoretical de-
partment at the Columbia School OF
Music in Chicago. He leaves this
position to take charge Of similar
work at Augustana
Mr.. Graham's wide culture en-.
ables him to impart to those under

sic as an art as well as the mastery
of the organ and its literature. He
will, during the coming season, ap-
pear in organ recitals and also viii
deliver a series Of lectures on must
cal topics which will be open t

itself fortunate in being able to an
