CHAPTER XIV
The Glorious Fourth.

A good deal OF water ran under the
Woodruff district bridges In the weeks
between the school election and the
Fourth of July picnic at Eight-Mile
grove. But few surface Indications
here were Of any change in the little
ommunity In this annual gathering Of
trends and neighbors. Wilbur Smythe
made the annual address. and was In
nther finer fettIe than usual as he
paid his fersid tribute TO the starry
flag. and to this very place as the
most favored spot In the best cOun-
ty Of the greatest state IN the nnost
powerful, Intellectual. freest and most
progressive nation In the best possible
Of worlds. .

district. and Mrs. Columbus Brown,

better appearance than she has ever
been able to do in any previous sea
son of her life. She is confronting,
now. h spring season of 1928 when
the hats will have more of pictur-
esque charm. and more Of fhttering
quality than those which have just
been blown away by the winter winds.
She will find herself arrayed In the
modern revision of tho poke bonnet
and in h spreading lines OF an up
to date Gainsborough. Everything has
been done by American modistes to
add to her head grace and beauty and
to compose hat portion of her cos
tune most delightfully."- with the
dresses and wraps which are parts of
the seasons styles.
II your temperament demands the
straight and rather uncompromlsing
brim. you will find that done to per-
lection. Neatly folded triangles Of
ribbon are laid against the crown in
a series Of regular rows and the edges
Of the brim is d~elicately softened by a
rolling, soft piece Of the straw braid
from which the hat is made. When

rings, They carry out the design so

It is a fact well known to every
woman. that no matter how carefully
or how modishly you may be dressed,
o never feel quite at ease unless
you have that inner consciousness
that your lingerie is Just the most ex-
quisitely dainty and feminine that
can be found. Self-possession is very
charming in a woman. And that
knowledge that one is dressed with
perfect taste. both inside and out,
brings n very lovely poise to any
woman. With this knowledge in the
background of her mind. she can for
get her clothes entirely and devote
all her energies to being entertaining
or entertained.
Some women will always love the
fresh daintiness of lingerie of cotton
or linen, no matter how beautiful the
silk models may be. And when one
sees the sheer daintiness OF u~ndergar-
ments of handkerchief linen exquisite
with hemstitching and real hlet one
is certainly tempted to agree with
them. Particularly for summer there
is something so fresh and clean bou

undertakings and night gowns. And
what enhancing colors it comes inl
Delicate green or n soft, pale yellow,
lavender and countless shades which
are quite as lovely. These colored
undertakings are usually very simply
made. Batiste with its lovely silky
sheen is also frequently seen.
Undergarments of Silk
But the woman who loves the soft
luxury Of silk will find just MS many
exquisite models to uphold her in
her preference. The silk night gowns
and undertakings are beautiful in
white or pink as well as the more un-
usual shades. Sometimes they are
trimmed with wide laces or embroid-
cred in contrasting shades.
The vest chemise and the stepin
drawers are beginning to usurp the
place of great popularity which was
held for so long by the envelope.
Sometimes the knlcker is worn with
the vest chemise.
The cut of the newest night gowns
has been greatly Influenced by our
present mode in frocks. Many have
a bateau neck-lower. Of course. than
a bateau necked frock. The front
and back of the neck are straight,
but the lowness is achieved by having
them connected over the shoulder by
four or five inches of ribbon or lace
strap across the shoulder. The arm

Billie Shaw Expresses
a Summer Idea at Palace


Billie Shaw has the right idea
She knows this is warm weather
and realizes that the tired business
man and the tired housewife enjoy
light entertainment these days
So she has called in the services of
more than ten people in her revue
at the Palace. They sing and dance.
.le act is nicely mounted and has
hot of class. This act is about the
sinartest affair we have had at the
Palace this summer. The best num-
Der is the doll dance done to the tune
Of THE Parade of the Wooden Sol
d1ers." This dance is the last word
in up-to-date entertainment.
The entire revue moves with that
dispatch and good taste which one
expects in Broadway revues.i It is
corking good entertainment. The
girls are good looking and they know
how to dance. II you don't like this
act then I do not know what you are
fond of.
There is an awful expensive ankle
on the Palace bill. It's value is fixed
at 100000. That is the name
given to a little sketch presented by
VIII H. Armstrong ard Maudie Smith
It is not new idea, but seems to get
the laughs.
