will also make more dangerous the

namely, regulation by commission

start on the real remedy, which is the
abolition of the monopoly of natural

so scarce and meat was so high many
people throughout the land boycotted
all foinis of meat and were forced to

Our Fashion Letter.
Now that the stores are beginning
to sell their goods at reduced prices,
preparing already for their fall ana
winter block, is it not time for you
you to take advantage of the bar
gains and buy yourself new dress?
Just ihe thing you need to Keip
your wardrobe in the vanguard of
the proper thing to wear at the right
and proper moments Is my first il
lustration a dress of eponge and
linen. The waist and tunic are of
pleated eponge, w hich it mottled blue
and white. The lower skirt, collar
cuiTs and girdle belt are of course
white linen. Itlue cloth-covered but
tons fasten the front of the wai.-t
and the girdle. With this dress are
worn white stockings and sLees of
dull blue to match the blue in the
eponge.
Manv- of these new skirts which
appear w ider at the bottom are made
with a yoke or a yoke enect witn a
lone and ideated tunic Ihe underskirt
having a circular or pleated tlotince
A wide sash is often worn with these
skirts of silk or of the same fabric
if it is soft enough. It Is placed hteh
in front and is tied in the back with
a diD.
For the evening gown the llouuced
skirt is very popular. In lace, tulle,
or organdv these many ruffled skirts
are most alluring and reminders of
what our sweet young grandmothers
wore.
There is a now gauze organdy made
of silk and of the quality of chiffon,
with the durability of voile, which is
most attractive when made up In
these gowns of the crinoline days.
What was considered decollete a
short while ago and only suitable for
evenings are now thought to be per
fectly correct and proper for af
ternoon and other informal occa
sions. A dress I saw net long ago
had a waist which was composed prin
cipally of two pointed pieces of .Nat
tier blue satin draped up to either
shoulder, front and back. For an
instant I stood aghast and thought

enough of either, must be torn up
root and branch. In Its place must,
be found the reason that keeps the
great Industrious masses from buying
them because of Insufficient returns
from their own labor. More and
more the people are becoming too
enlightened to be caught by the old
political catch words that mean
nothing. Rigl along this line
we notice an Interesting edito
rial in the Gastonia Gazette,
whose editorial writer Is Mr. S.
J. Durham, a former mill man and
a lawyer. Mr. Durham is thinking
beyond the political clap trap that the
distinguished Colonel and his fellow
politicians are putting out. He says:
"It Is a condition that is not going
to be met and the problem solved by
changing surface conditions, but only
by some very fundamental changes in
the Industrial structure. It is believ
ed that our banking laws will have a
very decisive bearing upon this prob
lem. The bonds being broken that

arrow, and the ox cart.
Mr. C. R- Thomas, a candidate for
congress In the third district, has re
tired from the race because, he says,
he got the most votes in the first pri
mary and yet when compelled to run
over, the committee, in the hands of
the friends of his opponent, required
him to put up an entrance fee of one
thousand dollars. It these high hand
ed methods of executive committees
continue it will no be long before
they will not only fine a man for run
nine for congress, but they will be
wanting to order him to Jail for con
tempt.

that was all there was to the waist,
but lo! over the arms and shoulders
was the thinnest of blue tulle, which
served the purpose of covering the
arms with long and tight sleeves, and
to give a coating of conventionality
to the waist, as it came up to a puri
tanically high neckline. The skirt
was of black satin, with a long tunic
of the black tulle embroidered In gold
thread.
The waist which cuts low In front
and with which Is worn a gulmpe or
vest is very good this season. . The
armhole droops very low on the
shoulders of these blouses and full
little bishlp sleeve or organdy is at
tached.
The circular redingote tunics are
the latest things In long tunics. They
are open in front, or buttlned, and
sometimes show the underskirt.
Among the new materials which
will be shown for the late summer
are heavy soft faille silks and a new
grosgrain taffetta in wonderful short
and changeable effects. This new tat
feta has much more weight to u
that the 'taffeta so commonly used
this summer.
Vests are a necessity in the war
drobe of even the woman who does
not always try to keep up with the
latest whims of fashion. Charming
ones can be made of cretonne, whose
colors blend or artistically contrast
with the colors of your suit. This
is also used for collars and ends on
suits. The large figures are some
times outlined with black in a heavy
silk or cotton, which brings out the
coloring In a striking manner.
Charming little dresses are made
of crepe which have Jackets of the
same, and the waist sometimes the
same and sometimes of organdy.
bit of embroidery in black and red
woolen thread Is most effectively
placed In the corners of the Jacket,
the collars and the cuffs. If there Is
a sash of the same, which Is often the
case this year, this same embroidery
is placed on either end. The hat
worn with this costume should be of
white and trimmed with a band of
white, which is also embroidered In
these colors.
Net petticoats are a charming ad
ditlon to the summer lingerie. They
are made with very little fulness and
are gored a little so that they flare
around the bottom. The lower edge
Is either scalloped or bound and each
panel is made daintier by the aaai
tlon of an embroidered design.
heavy thread of lace is often used to
connect the seams.
