UTHAT seamstress does not enjoy
w making up the lovely dance and
dinner frOcks that give her imagina-
ton food for pleasant thought
Whether she Is working for herself
or some one else, and especially if her
endeavor benefits daughter, there is
less care and more JOY in the making
Of party frocks than In anything else.
Younger women are rapturous over
them, the young matrOns know th
they hook their best in them and IN.
turer ones travel on the road to ye
terday when they wear them.
There is a wide choice of styles to
suit various types, and plenty Of room
for individual taste in dance frocks.
One may choose quaint and demure
Ideas or be a little daring, or steer
course between the two. When there
is so much that is vivid and sparkling
and daring, 1t Is the simpler or quaint
frOcks that find themselves most
charming. They do not belong TO the
jazz era, and are refreshing for that
reason.

eve consider II unfair to the con-
sumner that so much that has been
published concerning these cases has
been written In such way as to give
the people the impression olives are
particularly susceptible to bacterial
growth of a destructive nature. Such
II absolutely not the case for the ripe
olive is not exceeded in purity by any
fruit produced.
such cases as have occurred are
