Miss Mary Dysart
Vashon, Washington
Dear Miss Dysart:
Nothing that you could have brought
or sent to the hospital would have
been more welcome than the one
hundred and twenty-five quarts iof
canned fruit and the three boxes of
fresh fruit. I suppose this is from the
vashon Auxiliary and please do tell
all the members that we are so CRATE
full for this donation.
Our fruit shelves are practically bare
and we need thousands Of quarts OF
canned fruit to carry us through the
winter We have a very large family
to feed and it requires such large
quantities of everything for one meal.
We are always so happy to get fresh
things too, and can use most anything
and in any quantity, for if the amount
is small it can always be used for
special diets. Well take anything the
people of Vashon have to spare.
Most gratefully yours,
OLIVE KERRY,
Treasurer.

FAIR ASSOCIATION REPORT
RECEIPTS EXCEED LAST YEAR
Attendance Fell Off Because of Wet
Weather.

The directors of the Western Wash
ington Fair Association are much
pleased with the report of the treasur-
er, which shows that when all accounts
aiJ collected the income for 1929 will
exceed SI45, 100000, several thousand
more than the income for 1928,
though the attendance this year was
almost ten thousand less than last
year, due to the showery or threaten
ing weather Friday, Saturday and Sun
day. They consider this a splendid
record considering the weather con-
ditions, and further evidence of the
loyal support and cooperation of all
Western Washington people.
Many new records were established,
during the Fair but the one most
gratifying to the directors was the
rapid loading and transportation OF
race horses, show livestock and other
exhibits going from Puyallup to the
Oregon State Fair at Salem Loading
began at 400 p. M, and this train
consisting OF some forty cars, was en-
tirely loaded at 900 o'clock and moved
out Of Puyallup at go 1t was re-
ported in at the Vancouver Washing
ton railway yards at 3:45 a. m, max
ing the run on practically passenger
time. II is reported that it reached
Salem at 8;25 a. m. This is a high
record in the loading and transporta-
ton of fair stock and exhibits and
made possible through the co-opera-
ton of the fair association, the stock
men and the employees of the North
ern Pacific Railway.

What's Next IN Fashions?
By BETTY BROWNLEB
Famous Fashion Exper)

DRESS for young women
that is charmingly suited
for many occasions Is that
of the semi-sports type, made OF
crepe, faille or Of "necktie" silk.
which Is one Of the novelties OF
the season. The most attractive
are shown in synthetic silk. in
which the fashion originated, with
the small, conventional patterns
used in ties for men. These are
to be had in one-piece frockA
made of all the dark c%olors,
printed in white, in lighter tones
and in contrasting colors.
The fashionable models for this
sort Of dress are extremely SIM
pie, though some have an in
tricate look and are subtly built.
A model in French blue, printed
with a small geometric figure OF
darker blue, is piped with scarlet
taffeta which defines the zigZag
crossing with which the front OF
the dress is closed. The skirt fits
snugly about the hips and below
this line is posed a plain tier with
n cluster of plaits at one side.
A dress copied from n OF
Worth's latest models is made OF
this necktie stuff in burgundy
and beige. Its simple round
neckline is finished with a small
Elton collar and an oval shirt
bosom is outlined, with q piping
of plain red. A belt Of black
lacquer il worn almost at the
normal waisthne, and skirt and
bodice are Joined below the hips
with the piping in points With
these youthful frocks Is usually
worn q tie of the same goods, or
a kerchief. square or triangular.
A merry little frock of tie stuff
is made of blue and white, piped
with red, 10 express the tricolor
vogue. The bodice is a short
boiero, over q blouse Of white
