Style and Value in the Douglas Shops
By BeebO.
By BeebO.

Spring arrives-the stage is set
and as last seasons modes step
lingeringly off the, stage of fashion
those of spring, 1928, appear,
more alluringly gay than ever
more youthful and more chic.
From the models shown in the
Douglas stores it would appear that
the very definite attempt toward
longer skirts by designers, for sew
eral seasons, lis beginning to- have
effect. This may or may not be a
fact, for women have grown fond
of the. freedom of the short skirt,
and lit will be decided entirely by
the favor with which the longer
ones are received.
Some of the newest models being
received daily by one store show a
world of variety in ,styld and mate
rial as being offered for 1928. Col
ors run rampant and gay figured
materials are important. Intricate
cut the elaborate formal air that

CITY PIONEERS
OPEN A new GAS
STATION SUNDAY

II is the plan of the owners to have
the u. and S" gas service station and
general repair shop completed and
open for business by next Sunday. The
station is on G avenue just off Thir-
tccnth street and occupies the same
premises l9 the garage and repair shop
which was conducted there for several
years, some years ago, by Carson and
Barnhait. The building was more re-
Gently used as a grocery.
The j. and S. station and shop will
be conducted by w. L. Jones and Dave
Struthers, both pioneers in the city of
Douglls. They have resided in the
city for more than quarter of CEN
tury and are we'll and favorably known
here. They have secured some eX-
perienced mechanics and will equip
the shop with necessary machinery to
handle any of the problems that auto
lists may bring to them.
The Magnolia company will supply
them and they will sell the General
Petroleum products in gas and oils,
keeping complete line of the various
grades of oil but featuring the best
motor oils the market produces
In addition to the gas and Oil bust
ness and repair work, the station will
also operate wash and grease rack
where they will have competent work
men ready to take care Of automobiles
at all times.

DANCING STAR
in SUNNY HAS
A SNAPPY ROLE

One never knows in just what sort
of role one is going to see Ernest
Wood next. Just now he is playing
Harold Harccurt Wendell Wendell, an
English Johnny in Sunny" which
comes to the Grand Mar. l, and
tripping dance steps with Jerry Jar
rette, or bevy of Maurice Kusell's
dancing debutantes. Last summer he
was featured in "The Ghost Train" :"
a straight farce, and previously he
had been seen in LADY, Be Good
PATSY" and '"The CIinging Vine"
He is glimpsed on the screens quite
frequently in Sennett comedies and
longer features. in fact, Ernie-as
he is known to one and all-is an
exceedingly bright young man to
whom no branch of entertainment
offrs any barrier.
He is a native New Yorker, and
made his first hit" through the
misfortune of Charles Ross, famous
comedian playing in "The Merry
Widow and The Devil" Wood was
chorus boy in the piece, and when
Ross fell and broke his knee-cap, he
volunteered to take the role as there
was no regular understudy up in
the part. He learned it overnight,
and played it for the months that
Ross was laid up. A similar mis-
fortune to Taylor Holmes, star OF
mo, NO, Nanette," when it was
playing in Los Angeles two summers
ago, gave Ernie his first chance 10
show Pacific coast playgoers what he
could do in big role. Homes was
out Of the big "hit" for weeks, and
Ernie played his role of Jimmy so
cleverly that no one ever asked for
their money back, but as matter
of fact, the business grew. He likes
musical comedy best, and only takes
picture or legitimate work when there
are no musical shows in the offering.
His role in Sunny" is one that fits
him like glove, and he has scored
big personal "hit" in it, in fact,
there is a strong likelihood that and
Jerry Jarrette may go into vaudeville
at the end of the Sunny engage
ment, because of their success in the
musical show.

ADVERTISE UPON
DEFINITE LINES
AND KEEP AT 1T

In recent statement the American
Floor Surfacing company puts the
weight of its opinion on the side
of constant and consistent advertis-
ing. It might also be mentioned il,
this connection that recent state.
ment issued by Bradstreet's CONNER
cial agency adds weight to Tile argu-
ment for steady and persistent ad
vertiSing because it points out that
81 per cent of the failures in business
are firms who had not used the
advertising columns to tell OF their
goods.
Here is what the floor surfacing
company says about it:
Don't forget the fact it pays TO
advertise. Look over the successful
business men in your town, and you
will find that they all advertise
Do not get the foolish idea that
everybody in your town knows you
and you don't need to advertise. You
must make a noise if you expect to
be heard. If you can't afford news
paper display advertising, use the
classified ads, but whatever you do,
advertise consistently Do not insert
an ad in the paper "a Jew times and
expect results, but keep hammering
away week in and week out even
though it is small ad, and the
results will eventually come. II you
do not advertise, you cannot expect
to get very far i'll any business. So,
take our advice and lay out definite
advertising campaign for at least six
months, and then go to it, even

has been SO important for the last
few seasons, prehapso because it
gives the tall slender look so IA
vored by the fashionable woman of
today One of the most important
single items that | have noticed
thus far is the scarf, either attach
ed or separate, and in most cases,
it is possible to be draped around
the throat as fancy Dictates Some
times the scarf is tied cowboy fash
lone in a double knot on one shoul-
der. AS rule sthey are in great
gay printed squares of lustriOus silk
and sometimes Of double thickness.
In one shop, the manager has re-
turned from an eastern buyinl. trip
and is showing some very advanced
modes in the ensemble, that with
the passing of the seasons has been
growing in Importance, until this
season finds some very fascinating
styles for both sports and dress
wear. For sports wear this shop is
featuring the seven-eights length
coat. Blouses of the ensembles
have snug hip@ and collarless neck
| lines-one in batik that / noticed on
my fashion jaunt through the stores
was a black kasha jacket model
with finely checked black and
white skirt, trimmed with vertical
panels of the same fabric.
Youngsters who are smart sar-
torially as we'll as scholastically will
, be pleased with the dapper attire
that can be obtained in Douglas at
one shop that has Just received a
brand new shipment of all that is
newest for the kiddies. Suit colors
are medium light and light, reflect
inc the brightness of the season.
Cassiceres and twists will be the
most popular fabrics with tweeds
not far in arrears. Mothers with
the economy instinct will buy their
progeny odd pants as usual.
Plus foura will be light of hue
and fancy fin pattern. In general,
suits will have golf pants. There
are few of the two pants suits
with one long and one short pair
of pants. Most suits viii have two
buttons and peak lapels in the sin
gle-breasted style. For small boys,

pants" with the short cut, wide

shown. One other item that is ex-
tremely smart is the popular blue
flannel double-breasted sport coat,
just the thing for spring outdoor
wear.
When the little ladies of fashion
put in their important appearance
at the smart affairs of the spring
time, you will see them garbed in
modes that are. veritable ,replicas of
the older sisters One store is
showing a number of pleasing
models for little girls in brightly
colored fabrics that tub easily,
made of linen and cotton. Printed
silks are important, too, in the
more dressy type of little girls
frock, and these are trimmed with
harmonizing bands of plain mate
rials shocking and insets outlined
by hemstitching. One particular
model that attracted my attention
will fit some little miss about five
years old, and is made of light blue
and white plaid silk, full skirt and
shocked as to neckline, selling for
.$4.O0. The shops are showing
more red this season than ever be-
fore, and red, always favorite
with future debutantes, since the
days of little Red Riding Hood, APP
pears in brilliant profusion in diff
ferent types of frocksl and coats.

"iirst night" of a play, many more
were added for Mrs. Robert Lorraine,
wife of the famous actor, at her
recent debut as "Roxanne" at the
