"She's woman who has style of

1t is a statement sometimes meant as
a compliment; more often as an excuse.
"A style of her own" But just what
is style?
We learned from our copybooks at
school that style in literature is the
expression of personality through high
~ developed technique"
Well and good for literature-and in
some cases for clothesi But the former
nobody need read unless he wants to,
while the latter all the world must look
at unless we walk the streets with
closed eyes.
1t is only the ultra clever woman,
Sarah Bernhard, for instance, who can
successfully develop a style of her own.
Mary of England also sets her own
styles But these two women are
queens. one OF the stage, the other OF
an empire.
True style in dress is never freak

accentuates personality.

TOOK STATE 80
YEARS TO LAND
HIM AS JUROR

Called for jury duty for the first
time during his SO years residence
in Arizona, Ben Clark, former
deputy land commissioner, is serV-
ing as a venireman in Judge r. C.
Stanford's court.
When Mr.. Clark was called, he
appealed to Judge Stanford for re-
lease. TRY it a while; you may
get so you like it, said the court
in refusing the request.
The greater part of the 80 years
Mr.. Clark has spent in Arizona he
has served as a county Or state
official, which has disqualified him
for jury duty. The five years he
has been in this county covers the
period he was connected with the
state land department. During the
almost quarter of century he
lived in Graham county he served
as sheriff, as undersheriff. as clerk
of the board OF supervisors and as
treasurer. In Cochise county,
where he lived for 10 years. he was

All this is as it should be, for, aside
from the fact of the anniversary, the
new Shrine temple and its dedication
mark an epoch in the civic life OF
Phoenix. The structure, which is also
an auditorium, is the largest and most
commodious place of public meeting
in Arizona, and it has been designed
with a view to affording "a place where
worthwhile affairs may be held in a
worth while manner. This fact alone
distinguishes the temple from all other
structures in Phoenix and makes its
dedication a matter of public as well
as Shrine interest. The cost of the
temple was $4,000. and the structure,
which is of concrete and steel, is one
of the distinct additions to the beauty
of Phoenix made during the past year.
Chief among the hundreds of wish
tors who will come to Phoenix for the
two days of festivity will be Ellis
Lewis Garretson, Imperial Potentate,
who is to be accompanied by his divan
