During the late war you had oc-
casion to read and learn much about
German submarines. You probably
know more of the ex-kaiser,s U-boats
than you do about those of your own
navy, but we doubt very much if you
have ever heard of the ears on board

county. It is the women vote that
makes matters uncertain. The women
have registered largely in Ocala pre-
cinct, and the white women are much
in the majority. But it must be re-
nembered that a good many Oca1a
white women will vote the republican
ticket, altho those who will vote for

very few.
On the other hand, we are informed
that opt in the country, negro women
are registering about two to one in
proportion to the whites. A great
many white women don't want to
vote. The husbands of some of
them, strange to say, don't want them
to vote. Probably, they don't under
stand that white supremacy in the
county is at stake That is what we
want the democratic county commit
tee to get out and hustle for. We
want the men now on the county COM
mittee to be like the rabbit that was

Either let them run like the devil. or
get out of the way of somebody who

me with taut jaw and purposeful

that he could think of business.

games and unremittingly sought as
a partner. In the evenings she
never lacked companions to help
her dance the soles off her shoes.
She played auction like a fiend,
and always held the cards; won all
tho prizes in the sports for run
ming, jumping. threading the needle
and holding eggs in spoons: bowled
everyone at cricket. 1t seemed she
could do nothing wrong or badly.
Finally, at the fancy dress ball,
when everyone turned out in won
derful garments planned and pre-
pared long months before, she
easily captured the votes of the
crowd as the wearer of the most
original and charming costume
created on the spur of the moment.
There had been only one fancy
dress In Diana's wardrobe, that OF
Persian lady, ana for once she
showed herself greedy in the matter
of clothes, and calmly comman-
deered ii without consulting April.
Yet the latter's fanciful imitation
of well-known poster, composed
of inexpensive calicoes (bought
from the emporium OF all wants
and wonders, the BARRIERS shop,
had triumphcd over the gorgeous
wells and jewels and silken trousers
of the Persian hourl and swept the
unanimous vote of the ship into
April's lap.
The Days Speed by.
Enough in all this to turn any
girls head, and, though natural
dignity and a certain attractive
quality OF humility that was hers
kept Aprirs heart sweet, she was
sometimes in danger OF becoming
slightly tete montec. But she al

awaken very soon.

her. Gone were the days
- when all women's hands were
turned against her and her hand

But she had neither time nor in

For a Camisole.

DEAR ELIZABETH LATTIMER:
when looking through the trunk l
discovered a crepe de chine scarf which
i had several years ago. For 20 cents
purcha ased enough pointed lace to go
on the top OF a camisole. This sewed
with tiny stitches on the side of tho
scarf, which had just laundered. then
cut tho goods from beneath the points.
leaving Just enough to turn under so
as to avoid raw edges. Then with a
faw strands OF embroidery floss I ran
n tiny outline stitch over the stitches
sIready made. The shoulder straps
wero made of tho material cut from
the sido OF the scarf, with four tiny
flowers made in the lazy-daisy stitch
on each. Joined the camlsole with
French seam under the left arm. For
cents I purchased elastic for the bot

the top. now have a real pretty

Old Curtains Put Away!
DEAR ELIZABETH LATTIMER

DEAR ELIZABETH LATTIMER3
After using them for seven years I
put away three pairs of long, wide lace
curtains In the attic, thinking they had
outlived their usefulness. About three
weeks ago an idea struck me that
might mako use OF them a little longer
in the way of six pairs instead of
three. and make them useful in two
bedrooms instead Of one. as each room
has three windows.
This Il how did It: First had them
washed, troned them myself, cut of the
deep border at bottom; measured them
sill length, cut each half curtain
lengthwiso through the middle, took
the ak deep bordered lengths for ono
room and the six narrow -bordered
lengths for the other room: took pieces
ior the middle valances from tho bor-
ders and cut off bottom, put them on
brass rods over new white shades, and
thcy look hne. I am sure l could not
buy the cheapest curtain less than 81
