FROCKS FOR AFTERNOON WEAR;
BLOUSES ORNATELY TRIMMED


If your imported blouse came from
London, perhaps the exquisite iri
descent shell. embroidery with its in
termingling of chenille and silver, was
done by masculine hands, for it is said
that the service league of that city
has arranged to provide work of this
sort for convalescent soldier lads.
The separate blouse is of renewed
interest with the incoming of the wide
spread vogue for suits.
No more decorative trimming has
been devised than sparkling beads
This season, the favorite bead reflects
the opalescent color of the moon; the

green so greatly exploited this season
and it Is done in little shells in mother

Iridescent beads, the kind that

blouse OF here illustrated. Anyone
making this model at home, finds it

les and it is expected that the trans

The tentative sale, for that is

WOmen's Federation to Work For

The City Federation of Women's
clubs has taken over the sale of
Christmas Health Seals for Dickin-

drive early in December,
With money secured from the sale
of these seals, the State TuberculO-
sis Association fights the disease in
Kansas establishing free clinics for
examination Of applicants, and CIV
ing advice as to the care and cure
OF incipient cases.
AS prevention is better than cure,
they also teach health habits to
school children and send out lecturers
and exhibits to warn the public of
the dangers of tuberculosis.
One person with this disease is
said to infect ten others, so none are
safe until all cases are reported and
supervised,
Those who buy Christmas Seals
are therefore rendering valuable
ervice to their. own community, as
well as helping those already af-
flicted with tuberculosis.

HARK FROM THE TOMBs

Here II comes again. A Washing
ton correspondent Of the State Jour
nal sends from the capital about the
most gruesome wall that has foated
from the east In long time. Every
time Washington correspondent
drinks too much home brew he seems
TO hatch up a story OF the sufferings
of the farmers and infict IL Oh
long-aggrieved public. He has never
been west of Pittsburg, Pa, but he
drivels along about the ''barren
prairfes" and the SETTLERS" as II he
were Bill Hart himself.
This latest upheaval says that
thousands of farmers" I'm the Middle
West are going to starve during the
winter, that there Is forming a
revolution like that OF the Ghandi
OF India"-the correspondent does
not know what the Ghandi Is but 1t
sounds well-that everybody is GO
ing into bankruptcy and refusing to
pay taxes, that congress will have to
take over the farms and presumably
let the congressman till them be-
tween sessions, or something like
that.
That correspondent ought to come
west once and see what It Is like. II
he could get through the towns
without being blocked by the farm
prs' motor cars and did not get
mObbed when he told the farmers
hat they were serfs, revolutiOnists
md bankrupts, he might learn some
hing.
Oh well, 1t is the silly season at
and the newspaper boys
must have something to write about
and taking 1t out on the west Is
bout as harmless as ANYTHING.
