Whimsical fashion played joke the hosiery world

masculine STYLES had taken such hold the styles that
the wooen hosiery manufacturers had to make extra efforts
to meet the demand. All last year all spring and during
the summer the short skirt undputed monarch of the

miles away and the wooden hosiery outlook seemed

how you may find the fur part
of the picture?
A PLEASING dinner gown in
one of the Washington shops,
is fashioned from brOCaded chif-
fon velvet of the loveliest of old
blue shades. The lines are quite
simple, a straight paneled front
and back, the blouse extending
to form sleeves, that are further
enhanced by chiffon of matching
color. The bateau neCk-line and
the simple girdle are interesting
notes.
IN this ready-made age, one
seldom meets a woman who
makes her own clothes. But for
those who still prefer to design
and create their wardrobe, have
compiled a list of desirable fab
RIGS. Velvet, which is having a
strong following now, sells for
prices ranging from 1895 and
$4.95 to $595. The last mention
ed is the loveliest of chiffon vel
vets and comes in all the lighter
shades, as we'll as in black,
brown and blue.

cially in the popular browns

but on account of the width, only

are necessary for a cape or wrap.

two and a half yards are suffi-
cient for a cape and three for a

without lining, l searched for
the most attractive of stuffs for
that purpose. My search was re.

New England Business
Men Subscribe $1,000.
For Sinking Oil Well

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 3.-Five
Thousand dollars has been subscribed
by business men of New England for
the purpose of putting down an oil
well in Hettinger county, says the
Hettinger County Herald. The action
was taken after the visit of a Cali
fornia oil geologist. who declared his
belief that oil In some quantity could
be found at a depth Of about 500
feet it adds.
Discussion resulted in subscriptions
of $3.50 each by 20 business men. 1t
10 planned to put down the well on
the farm Of Albert Stagel. about Z
miles northeast of New. England, on,
one of the more shallow domes. If
oil is found it is expected that q
deeper we'll would be drilled. ~
Several biologists have visited
southwestern North Dakota and de-
clared their belief that there is oil
unde~e ground. Some have said
that it would be necessary to drill
5000 to 1000 feet and because of the
expense involved in drilling such a
well, operations have not been start
ed.
G. W. DeIand. geologist who ad-
vised that he believed oil could be
found at a depth of 500 feet, said that
ne did not expect a large production
but said he believed the field might
be proved in this way and develop
ment insured. "
A well vas drilled at Lennon, S.
D. last year. The drilling site is en-
closed by a board fence and admit
lance is refused to visitors. Results
Of the drilling are unknown.

4. Chicago, Aug. 3.--Wheat dropped
today to new low recor prices for
the 1922 crop. The fall tool place in
the early dealings and appeared to be
due chiefly to pressure of hedging

harvesting, Besides receipts here
were large, being estimated at 500
carloads. Opening prices which
ranged from 3-8 to rs cents lower
with September $1.05 to LOS IA and
December Slot to 1.07 IA. were
followed by a moderate setback and
then something of a reaction.
