THE EDGAR DAVIS HOME
BADLY DAMAGED BY FIRE

Thursday evening the residence
of Edgar Davis, on the cornor Of
Seventh street and Bell avenue here
was badly damaged by fire. Just
how the flames originated is not
known. AT first it was reported
that it had caught from the kitchen
gas range. however this was not the
case. as was plainly revealed to
those who have since visited the
scene of the disaster. 1t started in
the shielded roof above the kitchen
ceiling, and strong wind famed
the flames, driving them back un-
der the roof of the main part of tie
building. The location Of the fire,
together with the high wind. made
it difficult to fight, and while the
flames were extinguishe1 within a
very short time. it was not until the
house was badly damaged. The
kitchen, together with the upper
part of the house, was practically
destroyed, and the down stairs that
was not burned, was. practically
ruined by the water. The Davis
family is one deserving of sympa-
thy, since Mr.. Davis who is a young
man has been suffering all winter
with serious heart trouble, and they
have a family of five small children.
Since the disaster they have been
living in part of the Ed Travis
property.
The property was insured for
$500, which does not cover the loss.

several of the more simple gowns
with these charming half-length capes
More pretentious are the three
| quarter length or draped capes OF
crepe also matching the gown and
likewise attached at the shoulders.
Very graceful, too, are capes of fuller
lines edged with two even more cir
cular fiounces curving upward at the
| front.
Separate coats are of two types,
namely, those designed for sports
wear developed in huge, checked
worsteds. or plain. highly colored
thick materials, and cut upon full-far-
ing, raglan lines. There are still 9TH
ers made for essentially more formal
occasions, which are chiefly charac-
terized by the wealth of all-over en-
broideries which decorate the entire
surfaces of them or at least portions
Of them.
These new embroideries very often
resemble braiding In fact, some OF
the coats are really braided and then
tinted by hand. the color merging
from, say. dark tortoise or reindeer
shade, through all of the autumn
shades. Then there are many Of neu-
trail beige used for the upper part Of
the garment with the lower section
left plain and in, perhaps, darker
tone. This latter trick is employed
In many Of the Brandt creations.
Tailored suits were never more at
tractive nor smart than they are this
season in Paris. In fact, there seems
to have been distinct reaction in
in America Is destined to undergo a
marked revival in the near future II
the tendencies of the Partisan de-
signers are to be taken with anything
like the seriousness that we have
shown them in the past.
New BustIe Types Shown.
Rolande has hustle types that are
most interesting in the way they are
draped. They are not the old-fash-
ioned extremely draped bustles, but
the bows and the puffs that appear
| at the sides and the backs Of many
of the evening gowns certainly do
look as though we were coming into
an era Of at least a partial revival Of
! the hustle interests. We have done
the bow at the front, at the side
front, and It is only natural that 1t
should be vending It's way around to
| the side back and the center back in
| order to complete the circumference
Of the movement.
| Black with touches of extremely
bright color is one of Rolande's predi-
lections. Many of his models have
been developed in supple MORE, al
paca and in plain and printed crepes.
Bernard announces the fact that
suit skirts will be shorter than they
have been In the past, and in the max

Times.
Now each designer has something
essential to say and each one Is send

has many paletots or short coats done
over varying models and worn with
either plain or plated skirts.
: Jenny emphasizes the gown with a
supplementary jacket to match. We
must still call II suit for we lack a
new name by which to distinguish 1t
from its more tailored sister. The
suit jackets of this collection range
from short full-cut boIeros to straight
line hip-length or fnger-tip-length
coats. Some OF them are bloused and
others are Of straight, tubular lines,
clinging to the ngure snugly at the

country. Not only private capital, bu

These agitators deceive the people
both by flattery and by partly igno

They fiatter the dear people by pre-

The progressive politicians tender
rather dubious fiattery to the people,
however, In assuming that the latter
do not perceive that the transfer Of
industry from private owners to the
public really means the management
of industry by the politicians. Private
capitalists have their faults, but they
are paragons Of efficiency In serving
the public compared to the majority
of politicians. The latter are too lazy
or incompetent to care properly for
the streets and alleys of small city
like Madison. ..
Public ownership and operation Of
the railroads and Of other big indus

America, where professional politicians
are grounded In a tradition of graft
and incompetency. If the politicians

incompetent In the business Of gov

how can they be expected to manage

ticians would do the managing, or
rather mismanaging, and the public
would be compelled to pay for the
economic waste incurred by men who

The senatorial and other demagogs
in our American political life who are
coveting their neighbor's goods, are
not only attempting to flatter the peo-
pie into the extravaganza Of public
ownership, but they are deliberately
misrepresenting the facts regarding
the railroads and other big industries
Many Of them are shameless liars ir

statement.

how perfectly plain the top part is

design. Well, Il merely fits over the
chiffon dress as a sort Of extra cover.

enough to allow you to move about,
you can wear the chiffon frock with
its underdress Of silk and without
any woolen covering.
OF all the utility dresses that havo
ever been created, this one by n
French designer Is decidedly the
smartest and best. 1t Is something
which, In Its original state and with
many adaptations, will adapt itself to
the needs of the American woman, so
that she will find in 1t real addition
to her wardrobe. 1t will be an added
boon for the set Of costumes bought
with a limited income.
All White SILK Crepe.
Another gown In this handsome col
lection is a dinner creation in all
white silk crepe. 1t is embroidered
with mixture Of brilliants and silver
bugles which extend over Its entire
surface. except at the front of the
skirt where the fullness is punched
into thick folds turned toward the
center, the skirt being raised at the
waistline in front to introduce the
smart up-front movement. This drap-
cry Is Of distinctly Egyptian origin,
and the girdle of rose-colored molre
Is crossed at intervals by bands Of
brilliants.
Black and white, this season, is a
favorite combination, and Worth
shows a dress Of figured black and
white foulard combined with plain
black silk crepe. These figured crepes
are also used by this designer to trim
some of the smnrtest of blue twill and
serge frocks. Finely plated deep
cape collars Of the printed silk and
a touch Of the same silk at the sleeves
and vestee appear on this type of
frock.
The more pretentious gowns or
capes, especially those developed in
black or dark blue silk marocain, are
trimmed with printed crepes in CASH

cries In silk or bead work are like

people. The age for young people was
from Lightweight years down. All the
various costumes which have made

seen and until nearly midnight Joy
reigned unconfined-
At an appropriate time refreshments
were served 70 the large crowd by the
High School girls. The various Gem
mittees deserve great commentator for
the magnificent success OF the affair.
