TAKE WILLIS ADVICE

Will Rogers says: IF | had business it
didn't pay to advertise, I'd advertise it for
SALE"
Now you know Will is something of an
advertising boy. He advertised himself and
almost every other person of note in these
United States, and when the Prince OF
Wales was over here he advertised him. He's
now advertising Bull Durham Tobacco.
So, all in all, we think Will is pretty COM
petent to speak in that tone of voice about
advertising. What he says goes"
If you've got a business it doesn't pay to
advertise bring your troubles to us and we'll
advertise your business for sale. We know
you can sell it if you go about the thing
right
That's what Carbon County News adver-
Using does. It sells the goods right off the
counter-or the business right off the block.
Which shall it be-goods or business?
Hurry up and decide for your competitors
are watching you and if you don't get bust
ness by advertising, they will.

Newest Evening Scarf
Is Like Spanish Shawl

For evening, the scarf takes on large
square proportions in imitation Of the
Spanish shawl. Vivid velvet squares
bOrdered and lined in silver or gold
cloth and painted In floral or mod
ernistic designs are among the newest
Of evening wraps. A green velvet
square, for instance, is bordered in
silver and printed in silver and black
design. The young miss about town
wears large square shawls of chiffon,
georgette, lace or tulle which she
throws over her chair while dancing.
Her heavier wrap is removed before
she enters the dining room. Such
square Of black lace has bands of rose
chiffon adorning the underneath side
in border effect. The black square is
bordered with tulle ruff1es. Worn over
a fiesh-toned chiffon frock the effect is
very stunning.

Jewelry and Perfumes
Sent Over From Paris

A novelty ensemble in jewelry just
| from Paris is the double hat Orna-
ment and pendant drop of etched or
pins are worn instead of the one Of
last season. They come in a variety
of shapes and designs and match up
the pendants, which are worn either
on chain or a narrow black silk
ribbon or cord. The drops come in
ovals, oblongs, graduated balls and
squares. They are particularly at
tractive looking when worn with the
summer prints.
Another touch of summer novelty in
jewelry is seen in the new insect pins,
which are strikingly realistic and
faithful in their detail. One of the
bee pins, for instance, has eyes of
purplish-blue, with antennae Of silver
set with very small rhineStOneS to give
glittering effect. The wings are Of
black enamel and silver. In the COL
lection there are beetles, gnats, lady
bugs and many others, all copied with
the same attention to detail.
Concentrated perfume in paste form
comes from Paris, too. 1t comes in
small galalith boxes and is used sim
ply by taking a small dab of it and
applying it wherever desired. There
is wide choice of scents to select
from. This form of perfume is par
tfcularly handy when travelling, and
is convenient for carrying in a hand
bag, eliminating the danger Of upset
setting the contents or of breaking
glass.
A powder puff for the handbag is
different from others in that it has
case all Of its own which is not
much larger than lipstick holder. 1t
has cap cover which unscrews and,
when removed, reveals the puff tucked
inside. In order to bring the puff into
place for use. slight pressure on the
lower section telescopes 1t into the
other section and brings the puff into
place, making it look like a small
flower in single stem vase. The puff
is Of white swansdown and the case
of galalith. which may be had in a
variety of colors.

but none of it's stiffness. How can this
be? Seeing is believing, and certainly
the samples of this 1925 moire from
Paris are more pliable than the moire
Of other days. 1t comes in lovely
shades, to be sure. The chanel reds,
claret, burgundy, garnet and antique
ruby, mauve, blue fox, bisque, castor
and navy and black are in keeping
with the fall color card. Whether
black moire can be lifted from the

When writing on old manuscripts

paper as fiat as possible and dampen
it evenly with clean, cold water. Brush

Longer Skirts on
Program for Fall
Garment to Be Well Below
Knee; Drapes, Panels
Below HemIine.

Now that every woman has over
hauled her wardrobe and found out
that all the short dresses she wore last
summer are at least a generous hem
longer than the present mode, it is
time to think about the fall skirt
length. Truth to tell, writes fash
ion correspondent in the Kansas City
Star, one really is surprised to don
a dress of last years vintage and find
1t ridiculously long.
All this brings one to the truth of
the matter: the mode includes the long
skirt of the period frock, the uneven
skirt length shorter in the front than
in the back, and the really short skirt
In fact, skirt must be short to keep
its identity in this day of many skirt
lengths.
With fashions love of change, the
new skirt length is predicted we'll be-
low the knee; drapes and panels fall
below the hemline, Stimulating a longer
skirt, thereby gracefully gliding from
the shorter to the longer skirt without
a marked change from season to sea-
son. AS the straws blow, the descent
of the hemline will be as gradual as its
ascent. While skirts will remain in
the category as "short" and indeed
they will still be that even if the mode
fulfills its prediction and lengthens
them to four to six inches below the
knee.
Paris has spoken it's favor in behalf
of mOire for midseason and fall frockS.
Every effort is being made to convince
Womankind that the new moire has all
