chased a used Ford car from the
Askov Garage.
p. p. Kilstofte left Monday for
Dubuque, Iowa, to go to work on
the big job which the Askov
Construction Company has there.
Miss Bertha Fisher who is en-
ployed in Minneapolis. came
home last Friday on account of
the illness at her home and the
death of her little sister, Gladys.
She will remain at home and
help with the work there a while.
Albert Gissler of Bruno, who
recently lost his house by fire
was a business caller in Askov
Wednesday. Mr.. Gissler's house
was located 1 of a mile west of
Bruno village, just inside of Nor
man township. the fire occurring
in the early morning on the last
day of April. The building was
covered by insurance and he ex-
poets to rebuild. At present he
is living in his sons house ad-
joining, being alone on the place.
Fred Degerstrom and L. C.
Petersen appeared before the
board of county commissioners at
Pine City Monday and asked for
an appropriation out of the coun-
ty road and bridge fund with
which to open up the road run
ming east and west from a point
one mile north of the village and
toward Kettle river. This road
has been designated as a state
road. The commissioners appro-
priated $50 with the under
standing that Partridge township
is to set aside a like amount for
the work.
Svend Andersen who is butter
maker down at Hayward in Free
born county and near Albert Lea,
came to Askov Monday for a few
days visit at the home of his par

sen, and surprised his friends
here by bringing along bride,
having been married to a Miss
Rasmussen of that community.
Saturday. They made the trip
here in auto. Mr.. Andersen re-
ports that the farmers in his
community are apparently well
pleased with conditions as he
hears but little complaint. The
farmers creamery which he OPP
crates is not very large one, do
ing little less business than the
one here in Askov, there being
so many creameies in that vicini-
ty, but the patrons are receiving
large monthly checks, there be-
ing no less than a half dozen far
mers cashing in between $500
and $500 monthly on cream. and
further they buy but little feed.

Knit Motor Capes

The Riviera is having a big
craze for knitted goods, knitted
suits, blouses and sweaters in COM
bination of wool and silk and in
all silk. These are both handmade
and machine-made. In some of the
latter the patterns look like a ia
brio, a beautiful brocade as it were
so cleverly is the pattern thrown
to the surface.
Most of the new motor wraps
are in the form of big knitted
capes. 1t has gotten to the point
on the Riviera that a woman is
really not smartly dressed for in
formal day occasions and for out
of-door sports unless the garment
she wears is knitted. Half Of the
popularity of this style is owing
to the fact that it packs so cas-
lily and is always ready to wear
and the other fifty per cent is rep
resented in its beautiful colorings.
Women dare to wear bright yellow,
bright coral, cerise and green gar
ments fashioned by the needle and
the hook who would not presume
to wear the same color in a woven
fabric.
j Sweaters in multi-colors are also
a big new feature. These are
in what might be called tapestry
designs in that they look fairly
like embroidery and are the prod
uct of the Russian workrooms or
ouvroir which have been organized
here to give employment to alien
gentlefolk from this disorganized
and destitute country.
All the smart shops in Nice are
showing these sweaters in tapestry
effect. They more nearly ap-
proach what is known in America
as the Navajo, but at the same
time are distinctly European, the
designs being much more studied
and more developed than the prim-
tive American Indian designs.
Other novelties in high color eff
fects are the Byzantine sweaters
which are knitted in multiple
stripes and fancy patterns. The
Byzantine is especially smart for
young women. These come direct
from Paris to the Riviera and are
often accompanied by smart little
hats made from the same fabric.

A Letter From the Riviera

bright enamel, metals and porce-
lain, also in silk embroidered pat
terms, initiating these prints. One
wonders just how far the riot Of
color will reach.
A significant note perhaps is
the strong Oriental decorations
which have been used at many of
the seasons big fetes. Fancy
dress balls in Cancase, Hindo-
China and Cochin China motifs are
the present interest. Some of the
new theater installations show en-
tirely transformed interiors and
stage settings in Oriental effects.
France is giving a great deal Of
attention now to her colonies in
the Orient and in Africa. Doubt
less part of this fashion tendency
is due to that interest. The Paris
designer always expresses that
which is uppermost in his mind.
Problems in the Far East and in
the Near East occupy the attention
of the political and economic mas
ter minds. The dress of these ex-
otto peopls holds much that is fas-
cinating and inspiring and it Is
from these very sources that much
that is interesting and new in 1923
fashions will evolve.
One of the new things on the
Rivera is deep mousquetaire cuffs
made in two or three tiers of ex-
quisite hand-embroidered organdie
in combination with real lace
Valenciennes, point de Paris and
Binche. These cuffs often reach
to the elbow and are widely FLAIR
ing. Accompanying them is also
matching collar which may be
either in the narrow bateau shape
or in deep bertha form.
Printed Kerehiefs Worn.
Another novelty in neckwear is
the big kerchief, brightly printed
and embroidered. There are many
ways of wearing this kerchief. 1t
first began as summer article
tied around the head, then it was
worn in bandana form for motor
ing and sea bathing, afterward it
took the form of a neck kerchief
or cravat. Following this the
Partisan dressmaker used it as a
girdle.
The latest fad of the moment is
to wear a brilliant hued printed
handkerchief demurely o d e d
across the chest inside the tailored
suit, thereby replacing both
guimpe and blouse. But the very
latest word is the calico handkcr-
chief knotted about the throat and
hanging down the back to form a
sort of hood or cape over an even
ing dress. 1t is a brilliant touch
of color which never fails to ct
tract attention.

Beading to the Fore

Beads are coming back strong
ly, as is evidenced by the newest
day and evening dresses. All of a
sudden they have sprung into pop
ularity again. The smartest nov
city is the beaded jacket, a short
little blouse-coat of crepe de chine
or crepe marocain, which is entire
ly covered with the most beautiful
beading executed in multi-colors.
These jackets are worn with lit
tie straight plated or figure
wrapping skirts in matching
shade Of crepe de chine.
The newest evening dresses are
very deliberately beaded with the
patterns interpsprinkled wi t h
rhinestones and other mock jewels.
Despite the theatrical sound of
such a combination, these dresses
really are very charming. Women
frankly admit that they have never
had anything more becoming than
beaded clothes and they are rebel
lious at the idea that they might
go out of fashion. This is easily
the explanation why the bead in
1923 will scintilate and sparkle in
more ways than it ever has done.

SpIlHS IS ueIe III NASo anu
every day that passes gives further
evidence of coming fashions for
summer. Everything now is
mass of color. The windows Of
all Paris shops, just now opening
their Riviera branches, are full of
the most fascinating summer nov
elties-hats that are laden with
flowers, flimsy blouses, substan-
,tial spring suits and dresses, white
and colored kid shoes, jewelry,
fans, purses, parasols and every
thing else that goes to make up
the smart toilette.
The calico dress is setting its i'm
print on all fashions; that is, the
new print known as Calico from
Calcutta, name used during the
early Victorian period when the
Queen first became Empress OF
India and a big English vogue be-
gan for printed stuffs. These cal
leo effects are the apotheosis Of
the Calcutta cotton prints, as this
so-called calico or East Indian eff
feet is done not only with prints
but with an exquisite embroidery
and delicately patterned braidings;
all of which follow the Oriental
tendency from a point Of mixed
colorings and infinite detail.
Lanvin is showing dresses which
are solidly embroidered and she
often includes, a solidly embroid-
cred jacket. Gabrielle Chanel
who is one Of the most popular
authorities on dress, is showing en-
tire costumes covered with fine
soutache, not the old-fashioned
black soutache but lovely beige,
brown and cafe au lait tones in
termingled with designs worked
out in the new flocescent tones.
When first seen one hardly knows
what to make Of these soutache
dresses. They look different from
anything heretofore seen. They
are extremely expensive and
thus will be more or less exclusive.
New calico effects are worked
out with infinitesimal cross-stitch-
ing in multi-colors done on soft
neutral crepe de chine. These
dresses seem to hold within them
selves a thousand points of scinti-
lating lights. The stitchpgs are
so fine and the colors so informing
led that one thiks of fabric rather
than embroidery.
Calico Designs on Fabric.
As for prints, there is no limit
to the calico effect on Georgette,
crepe de chine, crepe marocain,
crepe mongol, crepe ROMAN, silk
jersey, every weight Of cotton
crepe, voiles, all the eponges and
blistered things-all are printed.
Thus there are dresses and wraps,
hats, handkerchiefs, Innings, peig-
niors and pajamas that are print
ed. Parasols and fans are made
from printed stuffs; jewelry and
other ornaments of painted porce-
lain, enameled glass and metal are
incrusted with jewels in calico eff
feet.
Shoes are being inlaid with
bright bits Of color. Stocking
clocks are embroidered in multi
rolors and shoe buckles are IN

Sports Coats Developed
Another novelty Of Rod
known as Echarpe Hindous
is a long scarf printed In
wonderful patterns. These

head between her hands. But his
eyes did not meet hers. for in his
dim way he knew he was not now

But at the sight OF her small gun
1t all came back. Again he seemed to
hear the explosion that had shattered
his nerves. The terror had entered
his soul. In spite Of her pleading he
made for his kennel. Even the girl
turned away. And as he lay painting
in the shelter Of his box she knew
that never again would men look at

Way of Lightning.

TT has been pointed out in some
scientific quarters that the now
known facts seem to require g. modi-
fcation OF the statement found III
some text books that 'it Is tmpos-
sible to say whether a fash Of light
ming moves from cloud to the earth
or in the-opposite direction" Many
observations OF lightning made in
South Africa show that In all cases
the discharges were from cloud TO
cloud or from the clouds to the earth.
Quite frequently. it is said. the South
Africans have observed lightning
flashes leaving a cloud for the earth.
but fading away before reaching 1t.
The opposite phenomenon has not
been observed n

That would be running away
said the girl.
Swygert looked at her keenly, on
his face the appreciation Of an old
man who has seen much.
That night Mrs. Swysert told him
she thought he had better give up.
It wasn't worth the time and worry.
The dog was just yellow.
Swygert pondered a loAg time.
When I was a kid" he said at last,
there came up a terrible thunder
storm. It was in South America. I
was watcrboy for a railroad gang.
and the storm drove us in a shack.
While lightnin' was hittin' all around.
one Of the grown men told me it al
ways picked out boys with red hair.
My hair was red. and 1 was little and
ignorant. For years I was skeered
oil -lightnin'. never have quite got
over 1t. But no man ever said l was
yellow"
Again he was silent for q while
Then he went on: "I don't seem to
be maxim much headway. l admit
that. I'm lettin' him run away as
far as he can. Now I've got to shoot
an make him come toward the gun
himself, right while I'm shootin' It."
Next day Comet was tied up and
tasted, and the next until he was
gaunt and famished. Then. on the
afternoon OF the third day, Mrs. swy-
gert, sat her husbands direction
placed before him. within reach Of his
chain, some raw beefsteak. ~ he
started for il, Swygert shot. He drew
back, painting, then, hunger getting
the better OF him, started again
Again Swygert shot.
After that for days Comet "ate to

Now" he said, hes got to come to-
ward the gun when he's not even tied
