LACE IN BLACK AND WHITE
Material Lends Conveniently to
Looped Effects-Tendency to
React From Dyed Laees.

Panels, loops or draperies that hang
below the skirt give an effect of full
ness without actually widening the
skirt, as they also give the appear
ance Of greater length, although in
| many instances the length of the skirt
has not been increased. For fashion
has quite definitely decided that skirts
must be heightened, and has also made
an unsuccessful struggle to widen
them.
Laces lend themselves well to looped
effects, although they bring us to a
slightly different sort of evening
dress from the simple crepe de chine
things. While the lines may be sim
ilar and the draping done in much the
same way, the effect cannot fail to be
dissimilar, because the fabrics are so
unlike.
There is a tendency to react from
the dyed laces, although this does not
mean that they are not used. Guam
titles of them still are seen, but they
appear bit garish beside the black
and-white combinations or the frocks
, in all white or entirely of Jet black
lace.
Spanish blond laces still are in fire.
quent demand. They make pleasing
semi-evening dresses for midsummer,

hats.
Butter made from pasteurIzed cream

jellies and fruit buffers are much
better for them.
A fruit salad may be served with

TUB SILK FRoCK IS POPULAR
Soft, Washable Fabric Among the Most
Charming for Wear During
the Summer.

Among the most charming Of the
warm weather frOcks shown this year
may be mentioned those made of soft,
washable silks. These silks come In
light cOlOrs, and more often than not
in gingham patterns. Checks and
stripes Of various widths are featured,
the background usually being white.
The material launders beautifully and
generally gives excellent service. The
tendency is to fashion the tub silk
frocks on somewhat tailored lines.
The regulation frock made OF tub
silk in the checked pattern and piped
in color to match the check, or If this
is color, such as blue, green or red,
black piping may be used If pre-
ferred. The belt is Of white kid
trimmed in bright colOred or black pat
ent leather, and the shoes carry out
the same color scheme. A little vestee,
often of white knitted silk, organdie
or other cotton material, is a part of
the design.
Tub silk makes an ideal frOck for
wear at home during the summer
months, as 1t Is so soft that It does
not wrinkle at all and will stand a
good deal of wear without retubbing.

MAGES OF ExPREss Nan cUT
Railroad Labor Board Orders Reduo-
tlon Of Six Cents an Hour
Effective August

Wages Of about $4,000 American
Railway Express employees win be re-
duced six cents an hour August 1, un-
der an order issued by the United
States railroad labor board. The or
der Will not affect the few hundred ex-
press company shopmen. It is esti-
mated the pay roll saving to the COM
pany will approximate $S,OO0,OOO year
ly.
The general wage award made by
the labor board in 1920 gave the ex-
press company workers an increase Of
sixteen cents an hour. Hence, the pay
cut now ordered leaves them with ten
cents an hour more than they were re-

The recent decision, it is believed,

the second, $500 the third, and 5000
the fourth. To obtain a prize, how
ever, county must replace at least
25 scrub bulls.
In an announcement Of the contest
received by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, state officials d.
recting the work say they have con-
centrated on better bulls because they
think the greatest good will result
from efforts along this line. The an
nouncement states that any county in
the state is eligible for entrance in
the contest. Awards will be made on
the basis of the number of scrub bulls
of breeding age replaced by registered
bulls. A scrub is defined as one that
is not registered or eligible for reg
Istry.
Any county which at any time dur
ing the year completes it's work with
100 per cent purebred registered bulls
win be entitled to first prize; but
should more than one county show 100
per cent registered bulls the various
counties will be entitled to first, sec
ond, third, and fourth prizes, respect
lively, in the order in which they COM
plete the work. The counties COM
peting in the contest are to form or
ganizatiOns, under the leadership of
the county agent, to promote the work.
All questions arising in the contest
will be referred to a better-bull COM
mittee of the Missouri College Of Ag-
ricuIture for settlement, and the de-
cision of this committee will be final.
A monthly report showing the name
and address of the owner of the scrub
bull replaced and breed of the regis
tered bull in which an interest has
been purchased will be forwarded on
the first day of each month to the
state project leader. At the end Of
the year a final report, certified by
the county agent, will be sent in, Civ
ing the names and addresses of own
ers of scrub bulls which have been re-
placed, together with the breed, name,
and registry number of each regis
tered bull in which the contestants
purchased an interest.

in EVENING TOGS |
FIaring Skirts Prove Only Weak
Whim of Fashion.
StraIght-Line Dress Still Triumphant
Greek Drapery Provides Note
Of Beauty.

The Greek idea is firmly established
In summer evening dresses. There has
been considerable talk of fiaring
skirts, and number of them have
made their appearance in the shops,
but, as predicted, cites a fashion crit
ic, they have proven to be only whim
OF fashion, and the straight-line dress
still is triumphant. It would be Inn
possible in the entire annals of fash
ion to find anything more beautiful
than the clothes built on the natural
lines Of the body.
While dresses for daytime wear may
be on perfectly straight lines, some
draping usually is required for models
designed for the evening, and in these
we are becoming more familiar with
the beauty of Greek drapery at it's
best-that Is, when the cloth was laid
In natural folds.
There is no more reason why an
evening frOck, any more than one In
tended for the morning, should be
fussy. Happily, the days when this
was considered necessary are passed.
Nothing could be lovelier than the
white and silver evening dresses Gre
nted for this summer They are
very straight of line and high of
neck in the front, but with the dec
Olletage cut extremely low in the
back and standing away from the
body in some mysterious way, so that
while the front of the neck appears to
fit rather snugly the back is loose.
The dresses themselves are much
like the continuously popular chemise,
except that they are draped slightly
to the figure at the sides. A wide
sash of the white fabric, which usual
~ Is soft silk, may girdle such a

MAY BE PSYCHOLOGY

Pitchers occasionally shift
their jinx around from one club
to another.
Take Sam Jones Of the Boston
Red Sox.
Jones used to beat the White
SOx by simply throwing his

SOx have beaten him twice.
Dutch Leonard Of the Tigers
Is another hurler who has lost
his charm. Last year Leonard
beat Cleveland three out Of four
games. This year he is "pick-
ms" for the Speakerites.

cOuntable thing in baseball.

SUCCESSFUL FAIR AND SUPPER

The fair, extending over two days
and the supper given by the M. p.
Church, last week, was very largely
attended, very enjoyable form a Soc
ial standpoint and very successful
financially. The articles offered for
sale, largely the handiwork of the
ladies of the church, found ready
sale, and the booth conducted by Mrs
p. +. White, where instruction in the
proper care Of infants was given, was
popular and well patronized, as were
the candy and other booths. At the
supper about 800 persons were fed
and in its entirety the fair netted
about $34S.14. This supper is always
so good that people who know about il

from the sale is being effectually used in combat
ting the awful scourge tuberculosis is infec-
