HAVE UNIQUE RECORD
Iowa Pioneers Live rs Years In
Same Spot.
coupls Married Three Quarters Of q
Century Bought Their Farm for
Si60 In 1s45.

Mount Zion, Ia.-Seyenty-flv years
ago Daniel Reneker brought Mary, his
bride Of a few days, to Iowa from
Ohio. Today they still are living on
the original homestead they estab'
llshed In the wild West" in 1S45
Reneker will be ninety years OF age
February "a, and his wife is ninety
seven. Their marriage record and the
number Of years spent on the same
homestead probably can be equaled by
few couples.
The couple attribute their long years
of life to the fact that they are God
fearing and believe in simple life and
simple joys.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reneker's married life
of rs years, In the eyes OF modern-day
folks, contains few thrills. 1t has
been mostly hard work.
Reneker, when young man, left his
home in Ohio to 70 West TO see the
country. He returned in a short time
to get his Mary. Their honeymoon was
spent floating down the Ohio river to
the Mississippi ON a small boat. On
landing at the Mississippi the couple
headed iorth for the cabin RenekeE
had previously erected In the forest
wilderness of Iowa, near the present
site of Mount Zion. There they went
and there they are today,
The early years were spent In clear
tnu fhn 1En pF oil ar
had purchased at 81 an acre. Supplies
were brought from a trading post As,
miles away. Ground on their tract was
broken with the aid of oxen.
Five children We're born TO the Rene
kers. Four OF them still survive. All
are boys. The eldest is Jacob. aged
Seyenty-two, and the youngest Is DR.
George W.. Reneker, aged 1fty-two.
The other two boys" are Joshua and
Dallas Reneker. With the exception
of DR.. George, all the sons remained
near the old homestead. DIR. George
Reneker left home at the age of
twelve. Today he Is q resident of
Falls City, Neb., and is the state rep
resentative from the First Nebraska
district.
The present home of the Renekers
was built in 1861 near the site Of the
original log cabin.
The couple have taken few trips
away from their home. They have
made several trips to Falls City, Neb.,
to visit their boy" DIR. George,
and once went back to visit childhood
scenes In Ohio.

Gowns for Afternoon Wear.
i rench Designers Are Showing
Dresses Short In Front and Very
Long at Back.

Some OF the new French models for
afternoon wear show the popular un-
even hem the favorite idea seems to
be the uneven, vandyke points at
either side, sometimes as many AZ
three. When the skirt is longer back
and front than at the sides 1t looks
rather untidy, but the longer sides give
a quaint and not ~unbecoming outline.
Curi0usly enough, writes a Paris
fashion correspondent, Redeem and
Doucet are both showing dinner
gowns which are notably short in
front and very long at the back. When
I say short in front I mean something
remarkably shortcut up In fact to
show the lower limbs half way up to
the knees. In some cases a semi
transparent plated ~petticoat Is intro
duced and this is often made Of silver
or gold lace. The cut-up front Is dis
tinetly becoming.

Every possible material Is called into

When padding the stitches must al

embroidery is to be worked, and the
embroidery itself must be worked in
satin stitch. always being careful to
take up the net foundation. When
the design is finished take a sharp
pair OF scissors and cut away the
muslin all around the pattern, being
careful not to clip the net. The net
must, Of course, be cut away from
any part Of the material not covered
BY the design. When finished the
work looks like exquisite lace.

BisQues and b%0uillons are the COR
rect soups for luncheons and SHOULD
be served In two-handled cups (the
newest form is the two-handled cup
which IL very shallow and broad
known as a "cream soup cup"). The
use Of bouillon cups at dinner or Of
soup plates at luncheon stamps the
hostess as ill-informed. Roast beef
or mutton may not be offered as the
hearty course at luncheon; chops,
croquettes, patties. birds or broifed
chicken are correct. A formal lunch
con may be started with a fruit
course Of berries, grapefruit or melon;
or with q cocktail Of mixed fruits; q

The TUNIC BLOUSE
Garment in .casaquin" Style
Beautiful and Useful.
Can Be Made Gorgeous
or Simple. T.

One Of the most important novel
ties Of the present season is the
highly decorative tunic blouse which
Is fashioned In "casaquin" style but
which forms in itself a very beautiful
and useful garment. The casaquin
outline, according to q Paris fashion
writer, has become an established ia
vorite.
This Is easy to understand. A we'll
cut %casaquln blouse makes the figure
look slender and eminently graceful.
1t gives the long waist line now 30
fashionable and corsages Of this order
can be made as gorgeous, or al sim
pie, as individual taste suggests.
Now that 1t Is again the fashion to
have the skirt of one color-and ma
tertal-and the corsage Of quite an
other, an opportunity is given for pic
turesQue combinations Of all kinds, and
the Parisiennes have not been slow to
make the most Of an agreeable situa-
ton.
Individual women have done this,
but far more important Is the example
set by some of our leading dress de-
signers. One Of the latest models had
q draped skirt made Of q new black
crepe which has a slightly rough sur
face and a casaquin corsage In dull
rose mousseline de sole embroidered
In soft shades of rose, copper and
dark gray. ...
K The cOrsage, which was severely
plain ave for the embroideries, came
down a few inches below the normal
waist, and at the hem it was slightly
draped. The sleeves were quite short,
the neck was cut round, and ut the left
side. just over the hip, there was a va
terfall Of black ribbons.
Another Doeuillet model of similar
design had a draped skirt In black
lace mounted over silver. tulle and a
casaquin corsage of jade-green tat
fetas, the latter curiously embroidered
here and therein silver thread,
with tiny cut jet beads in the inter-
stices. -
This gown had a wonderful girdle-
which fell over the hips-of cut jet
and silver. Just at the waist there
was an obviously unreal camellia made
Of pure colored organdie muslin.
Here and there sensational models
are exhibited to catch the attention of
those foreign buyers who mistakenly
demand something different" but the
fact remains that all the best dressed
Observation-Disclosures and Americans
alike-are wearing dainty frocks which
still display a straight outline even
though a good deal Of supple material
may be crushed into the composition
Of q robe.
