than we can use space to describe.
The church has sent invitations to
all the organizations it could reach.

tablishment are some of the most
prominent men in the city.
Born in Holly Springs, Miss, in
1882, James Combs came to Min
neapolis when he was 18 years of
age, spending the major portion of
his life in the Twin Cities.
He was one of the most well
liked men in the two cities. AL

A SHOT sPoILs A PLOT

IT WAS only little "four-pounder"
= and the small cannon balls which it
fired at the British sloop. "Vulture,"
as she lay at anchor below West Point
couldn't possibly have injured her even
If they had hit her. But those same
cannon balls were destined to expose
the treason plot of Benedict Arnold,
to send Maj. John Andre to his death
and to save the United States the three
years. work and the three million dol
lars 1t had spent on the fortress at
West Point, not to mention their saw
ing the Patriots cause from coming to
q sudden and untimely end.
The "Vulture" had come up the Hud-
son, bringing Major Andre, adjutant-
general of the British army, to estab-
lish contact with Arnold, and to per-
feet the plans for his handing over
West Point to the enemy. Andre was
put ashore to meet Arnold at the home
ture" dropped anchor to await his re-
turn.
A certain Colonel Livingston regard
ed the presence of the enemy ship as
something of an insult. He asked Col.
John Lamb to lend him gun and some
powder. Lamb wrote to him "Firing at
a ship with four FOUNDER is in my
opinion, waste of powder; as the
damage she will sustain, is not equal
to the expense"
But Livingston persisted until he got
the gun. Then he opened fire on the
"Vulture" and his bombardment was so
annoying that the ~Vulture" shifted her
mornings and dropped farther down the
river.
When Andre was ready to return, the
oarsmen hired to row him out to the
British ship were too lazy to go the
extra distance. So the only thing to do
was to send him south By land. Smith
provided plain clothes and a horse,
guided him for a short distance, then
sent him on his way. But Andre got
lost, blundered into the hands Of three
American militiamen who turned him
over to Continental officer. The re-
suit is history-the betrayal of Ar
nold's treason plot and the saving Of
West Point.

"Good boy!"
The ball of ice, cast In the street

office window.

Brandon waited for the ready ac-

from the men he had made, from Off

officials both high and low.

With an oath Brandon flung the re-

The smartesr women in this country
as well as abroad are wearing vivid
nail polish with lipstick to match.
Reports from Paris and st. Moritz say
that the really chic women there are
matching theirs in red and yellowish
red shades. Trick effects such as me-
tallic combinations and odd color
schemes have disappeared. The most
fashionable colors are coral, cardinal,
ruby and the natural which is the
lightest of the yellow reds. Most
Partisan beauticians prefer to cover
the entire nail with polish instead Of
outlining the moon and tip. Some
fashionable New Workers follow this
mode, while others prefer the trim
look which white moons and tips
achieve. The young woman pictured
has that look of distinction which
perfect grooming always gives. She
appreciates the enhancement which art
fully colored lips and fingertips add
to q chic ensemble. Notice the cos
tune jewelry set which she Is wear
ing. 1t includes clip on her stitched
crepe hat with duplicate clip at her
throat and bracelet to match.

FACE ON THE COIN

KING LOUIS XVI Of France lost
~ his head twice. The first time
was over very trifing annoyance
but it led to the second time when he
lost 1t over the block Of the guillotine.
And that was permanent!
When it became certain that moth
ing could stop the French Revolution
the king decided to escape from the
Tuileries with his family. On the
night of June 81, 1871, big coach
trundled away from the palace with
the members Of the royal family in
side.
At the little town of Ste. Menehould,
Beyond Menehould was regiment Of
royal troops ready to escort the king
across the frontier. The journey was
almost over.
But the grooms at the post-house
were slow and the king, tired from the
strain Of the long ride, was irritable.
For just one moment his majesty
raised the curtain of the coach win
dow. He wanted to see how much
longer the clumsy grooms would delay
his departure.
Among the bystanders idly watch
ing the torchlit scene was Drouet, the
village postmaster. He saw the face
In the window. But no! 1t was i'm
possible. 1t could not be the king Of
France. Drouet reached into his
pocket and took out a coin that had
just been minted. The face on the
coin was the face he had seen in the
coach.
AS the equipage turned off the main
road and numbered north through the
Argonne forest Drouet pursued it.
Reaching Varennes, he reused the
agent of the Commune. The arrest Of
the royal fugitives followed an hour
later. Soon the king was on his way
back to Paris with his queen, Marie
Antoinette, for a tragic interview
with Monsieur Guillotine.

These stunning models for the up-to-
the-moment-in-style matron were Sc
lected for our illustration from among
galaxy of fascinating styles as shown
during a personality fashions" revue
which the Chicago wholesale market
council presented at a midwest con-
ference gala dinner. The fashion
themes included clothes for the youth
full matron, for matrons more ad-
vanced, for slender girlish ingenue
types, for the larger young woman, for
the outdoor and sports girl, for tall
blond types and for medium-tall bru-
nettes. The moral to this story on
personality fashions is, If while en-
do not see what you want, ask for it.
It's there tuned to your individuality,
simply awaiting your CALL
Describing the trio of fashionable
costumes for the matron as here pic
tured, the model to the left is travel
and street outfit especially designed
for the youthful matron. 1t is tailored
of brown and white "broken-check"
tweed in standard English cut. 1t may
be worn equally well with dark or light
accessories.

navy and white print silk with check
sheer redingote coat is designed along
simple slenderizing lines. The sailor
hat adds charm.

A CHANCE REMARK

ISAAC MERRITT SINGER was the son
Of a millwright and he wanted to be
q machinist. So he became one, also
successful inventor. Soon he was inter-
ested in the possibilities Of the sewing
machine which was then being talked
about. He borrowed $40 from friend
and worked for eleven days, eating
only one meal and sleeping very little.
He got a machine assembled, but 1t
would not work.
Singer toiled late into the night, and,
then, lost In Encouragement, started to
go home. The friend who had lent
him the money was with him. The
two men walked through the streets Of
Boston silently. The final trouble with
the machine had been too much. Il
would not make tight stitches.
Worn out with the long strain, Singer
stopped to rest on pile of boards out
side deserted building. Suddenly the
friend said at strikes me peculiar |
All the loose loops of thread were on
the upper side Of the clothl"
In a fash the inventor saw the way
out of the trouble. They turned at
once back to the shop and Singer fun
bled with the tension screw /.

stitches.

FITTED VANITIES
VERY CONVENIENT

The vanity bag has been revived
and is one of the most important af-
fairs that has been seen in a good
many moons.
The new ones know new prac-
ticability. In the first place they have
been made to a great extent by people
who understand vanity-the cosmeti-
clans. They have known what to in
clude. Not only have they done a
good Job at making them practical
but they have seen that they have
that other important requisite, which is
beauty.
They are fashioned Of velvet, Of
lame, of fine kidskin, of lovely silks,
and even of metals. Their colors
are almost unlimited, but women
are usually careful, or should be,
that they choose color that will
go with all party frocks. They may
have a one or two sided opening, and
usually hold purse, change purse, Gig
aret case, comb, Hpstick, rouge and
powder.

years-colors that make blends look
anemic and ashen or tones and tints
that cause brunettes to lose glamour
hats with impossible head sizes, too
little for the unbobbed, too big for
shorn locks-well, what of it, why
paint so crude, so unkind picture?
Merely by way of contrast, dear
reader. for the new spring and summer
fashions are a direct denial to every
thing we have said in the foregoing
paragraph. What is actually happen
ing is that our fashion experts have
sensed the need of gently, firmly and
subtly leading women in the direction
they should go in the fine art of dress.
Which is why we are hearing so much
these days in regard TO the outstanding
Importance of personality fashions.
Among our modern fashion educa-
tors personality in dress ranks as a
theme of major Importance. Have you
not noticed the signs of the times your
self? The courtesy and class-you-at-a-
glance manner with which you are ush-
cred to this or that specialized Depart
ment the moment you step foot in a
fashion emporium?
This is, indeed, happy era which
is dawning for shoppers in that dress
designers and coat and suit makers
have become that personality-con-
scious they are making it their goal
to create fashions that will tune per-
fectly to each and everybody's partic-
ular type. The modes here pictured
are an outgrowth of this noble en-
deavor. They silence the lament of
the middle-aged and matron who for
years have been voicing complaint that
they are not having "fair deal' when
it comes to clothes they "can wear"
and that all the attention is concen-

Jacket Lengths Will Vary;
Suits Are to Fit Easily

There is a softness in the air that
prepares one for the spectacle of
spring clothes. Necklines are bowed,
frilled, or softened, and even with
cassie tailleur, which is always
chosen by certain types, jabot or
some other softening touch is sug-
gested for the blouse. 1t is ..lso ad-
visable to have the blouse contrast.
Even in the case Of linen this idea is
carried out.
With the usual exceptions, loose fit
ting lines prevail in the suit collec-
lions for spring, 1885. Jacket lengths
vary to some degree, and SO do their
types.

Seasonable Tips From Centers of Fashion

Shorter skirts are emphasized for
daytime wear.
Decided enthusiasm Is expressed for
evening gowns with sleeves.
Almost indispensable to the woman
who travels is a boucle suit.
Plaid coats are giving a gay appear

guard Of three men stood there, ready
and waiting for him to attempt fight
that way.
He went into his sleeping chamber
and took down a rifle from it's rack
on a pair of antlers. He threw open
the chamber but it was empty. He
jerked open a dresser drawer and
paved through 1t In fruitless search
for cartridges, cursing because he
found none. His breath was ragged
as he threw the rifle on the bed and
rumpled his hair wildly.
Bring Elliott out =" "Show us Ben 70
Get a rail These and other terri
flying cries stood out above the con-
slant mutter of the mob.
Brandon rushed back to the front
Office and waved his arms for silence
as he stood in the shattered glass Of
his window, but the sight of him only
provoked boots and jeers which were
forerunners Of great billow Of saw
age, snarling rage.
The men were having trouble with
the sign post. He heard the stair
door tried and voice called: Hustle
with that post"
Comingl They were coming in to
get him!
He could not satisfy them! He did
not know where Elliott was. Last
night Delaney had promised to try
again but he had not come to report,
though Brandon had waited late. And
now the crowd was bowling for FL
lott; lacking Elliott, they would take
him.
He covered his face with his hands,
tried to stop his ears. In those menac-
ing cries he heard the knell Of this
reign. For years he had ruled by the
force of his will and now that force
was not enough. Bit by bit, Ben FL
lott had caught the fancy of the coun-
try and now, with that group Of stout
men as rallying point the entire
town was setting up a demand for the
missing Elliott. They wanted Ben FL
lott. They would have Ben Elliott.

his arms, standing close to a broken
window. "Clear out, you! i. /. Fair
warning, I'm giving"
But his words were drowned in a
great yell. Men came Juggling that

lures Of protest.
"Hold your heads, nowi Give us

crowd and burst into shril words.
Coming? Like the devil, he would

his frantic search for rifle cartridges

The noise outside increased; more
people were coming to join the crowd.
1t seemed as though the whole town
