A Community Composed Only
of Men, Say What You Please
about it; would in course of time become a
company of barbarians. Women are a
necessity for every city to become a city of
homes, of gentle speech and refinement of
manners.
To exclude the women would be to go
back to an Indian camp similar to the
settlements in the States of California and
Colorado, when the craze was on for gold
and silver mining. A good woman is
sunshine every day, cloudy and rainy days
inclusive.

Fine Semi-Evening
Gowns Whirling Out
at $100
That new price means a saving of $25 to $75 on what
ever gown a woman chooses.
They are the lovely Georgette crepes and chiffons, beaded
and occasionally embroidered the work exquisite always,
but not used too freely, for moderation is one of the things
designers have learned since the beaded gown first came into
favor. And the colors are as exquisite as the beading
Chinese red and various orchids, pale violets and jade greens,
peach and corn color and grays, besides black and white.
A rosy orchid gown has its edges outlined with milk
beads and an overskirt of wide-meshed filet. The girdle is
blue and orchid.
A gray Georgette straight-line dress has its lower skirt
of pale gray lace and its upper part embroidered with blue
and crystal beads. This has tiny sleeves, where most of the
gowns are sleeveless.
A Chinese red Georgette over satin of the same color is
beaded with rose-colored and crystal beads.
A jade chiffon has the material cut into straps and each
trap outlined with crystal beads.
Hardly two of the dresses are alike and they are all in
good condition.

Millinery in the New
' Pill Box" Red
"Pill-box" red isn't very different from tomato. Perha'ps it
shows a stronger note of yellow. At any rate, it is extremely
gay and chic and jaunty. And especially in millinery, as the
saucy new hats we have designed in this color will prove.
They will be shown Monday for the first. And it is hard to
say whether darK-haired women or a certain clear typo of blonde
will look loveliest in them.
