It 1-' ,sl B- itn., V- M. v il The Quickest Mail Service Now to Washington Postmaster Thornton has overcome many serious difficulties in getting ' The Aeroplane Mail Service up to its present efficiency. It is sometimes of great importance to get to Washington more quickly than by railroad trains, which are not always sure of clear tracks. This city has so much to do with Washington these days that the enter prise of its capable Postmaster and his chiefs and staff should be encouraged. The hardest task we have ever had as storekeepers is To Meet Our Increasing Business volume, in quantity and dollars, with so many new people taking the places of those who have gone to war and others in war work at home. jkwa& Signed September 3, 1918, 'Three Autumn Waists That Speak for Themselves The new Fall suit would consider these waists very pleasant companions indeed. Be cause of their individuality in style and their loveliness of materials they are leaders in their little world. One model of heavy stripped satin, in either black or navy blue, is topped with an organdie collar that may be detached when soiled and can be worn either high or low. Gay steel buttons on the front announce that even waists can be military. Price $12. Another, of crepe de chine, wishes to prove that plainness can be lovely, because. it is hemstitched only with squares, which almost, but not quite, form a vest. It can be had in flesh, white or black, for $12. A Georgette crepe of navy blue or black dispels its gloom with a white vest which is em broidered and hemstitched and a collar and cuffs of white. It is lined with white chiffon. Price $18.

Women's Fine Serge Street Gowns for Autumn Every day or so now the doors of the Salons of Women's Dress are opened to receive some of the charming new things which come in to show us how attractive the Winter "fashions arc. Some of the latest to arrive are the dresses of blue sergo or of fine Poiret twill. Some are quite simple and others are very handsome, with their elaborate braiding and beading, and cm broidery. There is an amazing amount of embroidery used this Fall as the new dresses will show. Usually it is in black, and rich and handsome. Sometimes drawnwork is used, too. And there are rows and rows of beads, sometimes a touch of gold cloth to lighten the sombreness, very often broad sashes of satin, and here and there you will see a gown with a long panel of clotrivhich hangs straight and most effective from the shoulder. There are at least a hundred new gowns from which to choose many are the sort a woman will like to put on at once (and wear all Winter) and the prices, which start at $45, go on to $175.

All the shoes for Fall, 1918, weie, as eveiy body knows, either cut or made some months ago before the wartime restriction went into effect. Therefore, women can, at least for one more season, wear high shoes to their hearts' content without violence;to any feeling of patriotism. The new shoes are very fine and possibly for the ,last time also highly fashionable, and toes are even narrower than ever, vamps are long and Louis heels are as high as ever they dared to be. There are also shoes of a more moderate char acter with Cuban and low heels.

Corsets in Laced-in-Front Models Dress certainly was meant to adorn more than to cover, at least in the Summertime warmth being more of a necessity in cold weather.
