Elegantly Costumed Lady Attend
ing The Long to be Remembered
Reception at Executive Mansion
And at the Grand State Ball at the
Arsenal
None Of the many richly and
elegantly costumed ladies' who at
tended the brilliant reception at the
executive mansion, Springfield, Ill.
Monday evening, and the Grand
State Ball and Reception, held at the
State Arsenal, on the same evening,
were more gorgeously or richly
gowned than Mrs. Alexander Fyfe.
the extremely beautiful wife of Hon.
Alexander Fyfe, President Of the
Hamilton Club.
Mrs. Fyfe is at all times very
charming and gracious in her manner
and the elegant gown, which she
wore on that brilliant social occasion
was an imported partisan model Of baby
sequins, radiating from pearl gray to
midnight blue, WITH oval neck-trim of
Rhinestones. She was readily ac-
corded the most beautiful gowned lady
in the Inaugural Assembly, which
could best be described as simmer
of light.
There was one thing about her COS
tune, which was greatly admired By
the writer namely, it was not cut too
low down at the top, nor too high
up At the bottom. In that respect it
almost stood alone in a class bv itself
For It as not to the extreme in either
direction and it fitted her we'll shaped
form to perfection.
Mrs. Fyfe being self poised at all
times, brilliant conversational, pos
essing fascinating ways, she was the
center of attraction at the Executive
Mansion and at the Grand State Ball
and Reception.
Many Beautiful Gowns Worn at the
Reception
The following were among the most
elegantly gowned ladies who were
observed by our eagle eyes, while

and with deep hem, with side drapes
of orchid chiffon, trimmed in maribou
Of varying shades Of orchid, the whole

headdress, silver slippers and hose.

sealskin coat, and a small toque with
satin crown and taffeta brim, trimmed
with coral flowers.

DO NOT TALK TO
DRIVER OF AUTO
There Is Too Much Driving
Being Done From Seats
in Rear of Car.

There is a sign In the front of most
Don't Talk to the Motorman." That
sign with even greater emphasis might
we'll be posted on the front Of every
windshield
The driver of an automobile has far
more need to devote his attention ex-
clusively to the work in hand, than
has the motorman. The latter has a
straight one way track ahead of him
with two rails to guide him, the motor
list has no such aids to safeguard his
eye and hand.
Distracts Drivers Attention.
Because passengers are in close con-
tact with the driver there Is definite
tendency to distract his attention. The
engineer of a locomotive Is located
where he can give complete attention
to the work Of operating the train.
What the passengers do or say, or
think, in no way affects the final re-
suits.
Automobile passengers are to blame
for much of the trouble drivers get
into. On count Of a number of seri-
GUS accidents 1t was found that in
the majority of cases the drivers were
accompanied by passengers The rela-
lively small number of instances where
lone drivers are involved in serious
accidents seems to support the theory
that there is too much driving being
done from the back seat.
Conversation is perhaps the greatest
single cause of automobile accidents
where passengers are being carried.
The driver gets too deep into sub
ject that interests him, only to sacri-
flee his attention upon the matter of
driving. The less drivers and passen-
gers converse about matters which
have no direct bearing upon the facts
at hand the better it is for both par
ties. Some people feel that they must
offer a surfeit OF conversation in re-
turn for drivers courtesy. Nothing
could be farther from the truth.
Timely Warnings.
Where a passenger is capable of
giving the driver valuable warnings
he should do so by all means, and the
driver ought not to resent being
warned when necessary. The passen-
ger sees the road from different
angle. His advice may be Of consider
able value. There's a car coming ia
our left" stated in matter-of-fact
way has prevented more accidents
than all the ordinations and gasps
combined.
But to keep up continual chatter
on the topics of the day is as danger
GUS as it is unnecessary and frequent
" leads to collision or an upset in
the ditch.

ORANGE TIME

Mildred was not old enough yet to
go to school but she had lessons at
home.
Every morning at half-past nine
Mildred and her mother and little
friend named Alice did lessons to-
gether
Mildred's mother taught and the
other two studied.
Mildreds dolls sat up on the sofa
at lesson time and learned all they
could.
1t was wonderful how much they
learned.
They learned all that Mildred
learned.
After lessons were over Mildred
would ask Gyp, the dog, a question,
and Gyp would answer in little
squeaky voice the right answer every
time.
To be sure Gyp was only little
dog filled with straw and sawdust
but he understood even if Mildred
had to speak for him.
1t was Mildred's voice which an
swered the question but it was what
Gyp wanted to say. Mildred simply
spoke FOR him in the very tone in
which he would have spoken had he
been able to use words.
The big cloth cat could recite the
alphabet and could spell his own
name, too
Mildred thought that was very
smart.
And the rag doll could recite quite
a little poetry.
OF course during lesson time they
didn't speak. They only listened.
Beverly banner. [volume] (Beverly, N.J.) 1877-1964, 1925-03-20

But they took it all in as was clearly
to be shown afterward when Mildred
found out what they knew.
They learned to spell and to write q
little and to recite and to do simple
sums.
Lessons kept up until eleven o'clock
and then they all had oranges.
They cut the oranges in quarters
so they would last longer, though
sometimes as a special treat they had
an extra meal of orangejuice
They called eleven o'clock "orange
time"
When the clock struck eleven they
would get up-sometimes right in the
middle of sentence-and say:
"Orange time!"
. They always stopped on the very
stroke of orange time" just as they
always began right on time, too.
Alice found lessons rather hard but
she would say:
when I grow up it won't matter
as shall be a wonderful circus rider.
mo one ever stops circus rider
to say:
"How much does two-and-two
maker"
That thought used to comfort her a
great deal when she couldn't get her
lessons right.
But she tried to learn as much as
she could as she wanted to be able
- "A 10. <,,.,, ,on,a oud what thov
said about her when the big signs
would go up in the different towns to
tell the people that Madame Alice
the famous rider, would be in town
on the eighteenth. nineteenth and
twentieth.
when you come to the circus you
shall come free" Alice told Mildred
That made Mildred very much
pleased and it would be a great help
too.
She would be able to go to the
circus each day and not worry over
the expense.
No one could ever have enough
money to pay to go to the circus three
times in succession, but she woult
be able to go free.
So, each morning they studied, ant
the dolls looked on and listened Sc
they could repeat the lessons later.
But the best time of all was "orang'
| time" when the clock struck clever
and lessons were over and 1t wa
time to eat.
| That was the best time of all.
They had decided that right AVA
and they hadn't changed their opinions

Clean Cloth Upholstery

Cloth upholstery may best be
cleaned by beating curtains and backs
lightly with stick or carpet beater,
after which the accumulated dust is
whisked off with a brush. Grease or
oil may be removed by an application
of lukewarm water and good soap, ap-
piled with wooden cloth. There are
a number of new wooden cleaners
which will work very well on cloth up
holstery, but gasoline and benzine
have tendency to spread instead Of
to remove dirt.

Spark Plug Test

When there is reason to suspect a
spark plug of not firing properly it
may be tested by removing 1t from the
cylinder without disconnecting the
wire terminal and laying the metal
part of the plug on the engine. BY
turning the motor over slowly the
electrical circuit will then be COM
pleted by the commutator. and, If the
spark plug Is In working condition, a
spark will jump between It's points. If
not, the probability. is thst the plug
needs cleaning or is shcrt-circuited
and useless.

Tire Hints Given

Don't neglect small cuts. These
will often extend farther than you
think. Dirt and'wet get in, the fabric
rots and a blowout follows. Look
over your tires from time to time.
Don't keep spare tire out of use too
tong. Change over occasionally. A
tire lasts better In use than exposed
to the sun and rain ON the running
board.

Painting Spare Tires

Where it is desired to paint your
old spare tires merely to make them
look better, and not to preserve them
against deterioration from the action
of the elements, good plan is to
paint but one side and the tread of
each tire, leaving the inner side just
as 1t was, so that when spare is to
be used the implanted side can be dis
played.
