the weather. Anyway, in due time
the drilling" was started; at least,
there was steam coming from the
frame inclosure and several men could
be seen hauling supplies to the place
and working about the derrick. Little
attention was paid to the operations
of the wildcat well, as with several
hundred such wells going down in this
section no one well arouses much in
terest.
It was not until armed guards were
posted around the derrick and all
strangers prohibited from coming
close to the supposed well that any
special interest was aroused. Because
OF these precautions the report was
circulated that a big flow Of oil was
about to be struck. The prices OF land
leases for some distance around the
derrick went soaring and much ex-
citement was created. Then came the
denouement. It happened that pro
hfbition enforcement officer was pass
ing along near the mysterious well
few days ago when he saw man
come staggering out Of the door o.
the drilling house." This officer
staged raid upon the place, and
complete still outfit was found with
large supply Of corn whisky" and
mash on hand. Not even semblancs
Of an oil wen hole was found.

NEW WAISTc0ATS OF RATINE
Fabric ls In Keeping With Character
Of Tweed and Homespun-Shouio
Be in Demand.

The frayed or fringed skirt has led
even neckwear into the temptation OF
raveling its edges. When ratine Is
the material, and rust white the
color combination, the effect Is very
smart and the attractiyeness of tine
sport or tailored suit is greatly en-
hanced by the addition.
Ratine waistcoats are quite in keep
ing with the character Of tweed and
homespun and should be in consider
able demand as long as these SUITS
are worn. Pongee is another practical
material for vestee styles, says DRY
Goods Economist. Its neutral color
assures adaptability and its launder'
ing quality is a strong selling point
With the well-favored dark blue SUIT
the pongee accessory is in very sooe
taste and good style.

IN SPORT FR0CkS
French TWeeds Vie With British
and American Fabrics.
Navy Blue Serge, Poiret Twill or Trl'
cotine Make Stronger Appeal
Than Usual.

We can find good French precedent
for the use Of sport frocks and suits
Of tweed, and French tweeds of lovely
texture have been imported to COM
pete with tweeds of British or Amer
lcan production. The idea of tweed
costume all In the same material does
not appeal forcibly to the mind OF the
French designer. He prefers the other
striped or checked with the same mix
ture and some contrasting tone. He
then snakes a skirt Of the plain fabric
and@A jacket or cape Of the check, or
he uses the check or stripe for the
skirt ana the plain material for the
jacket. Often simply cut cape takes
the place of the coat and in place OF
the skirt is chemise frock. So
among the imported, French tweeds
there is almost always a plain fabric
and one of stripes or checks. A rose
and gray-checked tweed will be used
with rose mixture tweed. There are
green and tan mixtures. gray and black
and blue and tan.
Navy blue in serge, poiret twill or
tricotine has come back this spring
with even stronger appeal than usual.
The suits or coat frocks Of this color,
as they were shown at recent collec-
tions of French-made frocks, almost
invariably were greeted with enthu-
siasm. Almost every woman expert
ences the distinct comfort OF being
smart and appropriately dressed FOL
spring days when she takes on the
heavier raiment of winter for frocR
or suit Of this description. Very much
admired have been the coat frocks OF

shown a sparlng use Of red. These

HINTS FOR THE DREssMAKEF
How 70 Trim the Black Sateen Morn.
ina Frock-Embroidery May Be
Effectively Used.


To trim the new and useful black
sateen morning frock there are several
up-to-date ways. One is to use cheer
full cretonne to form bands to outline
the neck and short sleeves and pockets.
Another plan is to use cretonne to
form a bib design down the front OF
tte frock. This brightens it up con-
siderably and makes it becoming.
A third plan is gay-colored crepe for
collars and cuffs and pipings.
One may also embroider the black
sateen with colored woods effectively.
Basket designs worked in green wool
should have blue or yellow flowers or
crimson cherries.
Then there is the popular applique
work that can utilize scraps Of checked
eingham for simple fruit or flower de-
signs.
