One blouse that I admired was
made of a combination of dark blue
crepe de chine and georgette crepe,
embroidered in green and gold, and
had a narrow sash of blue grosgrain
ribbon picoted with gold. 8
Another dark blue blouse was of a
navy satin crepe. embroidered with
blue and an interesting shade of red.
The little vests and cuffs were also of
red.
A stunning model of Yellowstone
and blue crepe de chine has world
or class. 1t is very cleverly designed
and breathes the dash of the Pacific
coast, whence it came. You'll really
have to see it to appreciate it. It has
a nifty little tie of the Yellowstone
shade.
Mohawk is a wonderful shade of In
dlan red and ranks in the newest Fall
colors. Or this shade is a very stun
ming satin crepe heavily beaded in
bronze and blue. Another elaborate
beaded blouse is of Fungi brown and
the beads are bronze.
A modish blouse in a tailored style
is made of heavy silk Mohawk crepe
with novelty trimming of bright blue
duvetyn with stripes of silk in the Mo-
hawk shade.
Last but not least is a trite and
hackneyed phrase-but it surely de-
seribes the new black silk creme
blouse with a long graceful tunic and
d1rectoire Sits at the sides IT is sim,

IN THESE days of jazzbaderio we
must not neglect the finer things of
life. One very excellent precaution
against doing SO is to acquire a good
selection of our best music.
I listened to some of the Red Seal
records at the Jenkins Music Store
yesterday and wished that every Vic
trola owner would hear them too.
The symphony in E. Flat Major"
by Toscanini and La Scala Orchestra
is truly wonderful.
Traviata is familiar to all music
lovers, and "Ah, fors 1ui," as sung
for the Victor by Galli-Curci is a rec
ord of which one couldn't tire.
ave Maria" arranged by Schubert
and Wilhelmj, is played by Jascha
Heifitz. The artistry of this selection
is in carrying a wonderful melody
clear to the end with an inspired re-
ligious feeling. 1t could so easily have
been done northumberland ruined.
Two other good selections at Jenkins
are There is a Green Hill Far Away"
sung by Louise Homer, and Crossing
the. Bar" sung by Evan Williams.

power to bring the nation back to normally.
But the average American citizen has his own
notions in such matters. Had it been the good
fortune OF the Republican party to have come
into power in the midst OF period OF pros
perity in the country 1t would have continued
in power indefinitely But having assumed the
reigns at a time when the country was on the
verge of a business and industrial collapse.
from which it is now only beginning to re-

brunt of responsibility and this is rejected IN

Marion Goes Democratic.

Marion, Ohio, the home of President Hard
ing. has Just elected a Democratic MAYOR In
doubtedly the Democratic national committee
and others politically opposed to the present
national administration will seize upon the
Marion results to spread the report that the
Republican administration is growing in dis
favor with the American people; that it is not
making good its promises and that therefore
1T is doomed to defeat at the next presidential
election.
That Marion should have selected Demo-
crat for its mayor should not involve President
Harding or his administration although it
might have made the nations chief feel better
had his political party been winner in the cleo
ton in his home town. AS it was, President
Harding was not the issue in the Marion con-
test and therefore it is not within reason TO
consider him in connection with the results
there.
1t must be conceded, however that the Re-
publican party is on trial with the American
people. The Republican party will suffer be-
cause OF prevailing business and industrial de-
preston. despite that the party is bameless

One thing has been settled by the
preme court of the United States. and that is
that public utilities owned and operated by a
city do not come unGer the jurisdiction of a
state commerce commission. The ruling is
one that affects Illinois municipalities gener-
ally. Many of them their utilities either
in whole or in part, and the principle in ques-
ton has long been at stake. Cities that own
their own plants are thus made the judges of
the conditions to be imposed and the rates to
be charged.
