12 VgQMen ralrvrenes The Art of Dressing ItOE FAIRFAX A few days ago I rode out in the street car with a woman whose clothes spelled a giddy twenty, and whose poor wrin kled face betrayed her as sixty, al though she had at tempted to cover the traces of time with a coat of parti-colored paint. • Most of the pas sengers were smil ing slyly or openly grinning in ridicule of the sad old crea ture. But I thought her poor taste was almost tragic. The very first rule of pood dressing >s to wear clothes suitable to your age. After that you must consider your coloring, figure, particular style and type. But it will lend you no charm to wear the smartest of clothes if they are babyish and ingenue in type, while you are evidently forty, or to lengthen your skirts and imitate the sophisticated clothes of a woman of thirty if you are sweet sixteen. You may select clothes that keep you young looking or emphasize your youthful sweetness and freshness. But you must keep in your own gen eration in choosing your garments. "Sweet sixteen" looks well in girlish and simjiie little frocks that make her appear like the flower she is. She may wear hats faced in shell pink and with a bridle line of black velvet across her smooth white throat. She looks attractive in frilly skirts and baby waists. But let the wrinkled •woman of fifty or the buxom dame of thirty-five beware of these same clothes. They will make either woman a caricature. Tailor-made suits of smart cut and dignified street clothes become the ■woman of mature charm, even as soft clinging silks and fichus are a very lovely setting for the grandmother. But nowadays many women wear BIG EXHIBIT TO !

Beans are also one of the most nutritious and economical of foods, but you want to find out whose beans you can digest the easiest. Tvy Wagner's Pork and Beans Bear in mind that we derive nutrition only from the food we digest; therefore, since we know that beans are ex tremely rich in nutriment let us eat the easiest digested kind. No food products in the United States have a better reputation for quality than Wagner's—they have stood the rigid test of the public for 32 years. Try Wagner's Pork and Beans—they make mighty fine eating. Three sizes: No. 1, Luncheon ; No. 2, Family; No. 3, Fall Dinner. Look for the blue-band label. MARTIN WAGNER CO. Baltimore, Md. FRIDAY EVENING, BXRRISRURG TELEGRAPO SEPTEMBER p, clothes so far out of their own gen eration that they give an impression of being just ready for a masquerade. The moral effect of such clothes is bad. Old age claims no respect when so attired. It has no dignity. It seems almost unbelievable that a woman of sixty will don a white shep herdess hat, a dress of lavender and white, organdie cut very low as to its lacy neck and very high as to its scant skirt, innumerable chains and rings and pins, purple silk stockings and gilt slippers, and so attired set off on a shopping expedition. But that is ex actly what the poc* old creature who inspired this article was foolish enough to do. And then in order to live down to her silly girlish clothes she covered her wrinkled face with paint and attempted to whitewash her wrinkled throat. But youth dressed in mature and elaborate clothes Instead of in its own nrettily simple garments Is pathetic, too. The effect it produces is the ab surd one of a little child dressed up In its mother's clothes. All the charm and sweetness and modesty of youth cannot be kept alive in over-elaborate or sophlsticated-looklngclothes. Youth must not dress in the clothes of a woman of the world. Between the extremes of youth and age there are .mistakes in dressing, but they are most glaring when the extremes illustrate the folly of gaib ing yourself out of your generation. Mother and daughter must not dress alike. • If you are a woman of dignified years, dress with dignity. If you are a child, wait for the clothes of ma turity until you have grown to woman hood. And if you are an old woman, don't give *.p one jot of the sjpeet and placid dignity of quiet, simple gar ments that will frame your age in stead of making It a frame for glaring absurdities. Keep In your own generation. Dress as becomes your years. Make your clothes suit your time of life. That is the first rule of good dressing. tions and moving pictures on fire pre vention, fire drills and kindred topics. John Price Jackson, Commissioner of Labor and Industry; George 8.

THE LAST SHOT By FREDERICK PALMER Copyright, 1814, by Charlea Scrlbner'a Sana. [Continued] knew thui mis must come!" something withtn her said. If she had not been prepared for it by the events of the last twelve hours she would have Jumped to her feet with an exclamation of natural shock and horror. As it was, she felt a convul sive, nervous thrill without rising from her seat. A pause. The next shell burst in line with the first, out by the linden-trees; a third above the veranda. "We've got that range, all right!" | thought the Gray battery commander, I who had Judged the distance by the ' staff map. This was all he wanted to know for the present. He would let < loose at the proper time to support the infantry attack, when there were • enough drlbletß across the road to ! make a charge. The driblets kept on | coming, and, one by one, the number ' of dead on the road was augmehted. Marta was diverted from this proc- ' ess of killing by piecemeal by a more j theatric spectacle. A brigade copi- j mander of the Grays had ticked an order over the wires and it had gone j from battery to battery. Not only | many field-guns, which are the ter- | riers of the artillery, but some guns of siege caliber, the mastiffs, in a | sudden outburst started a havoc of tumbling walls and cornices in the j upper part of the town. Then an explosion greater than any 1 fmm the shells shot a' hemisphere of , ll&t heavenward, revealing a shadowy body flying overhead, and an instant later the heavens were illuminated by j a vast circle of flame as the dirigible that had dropped the dynamite re- i celved its death-blow. But already | the Brown infantry was withdrawing j from the town, destroying buildings | that would give cover for the attack ' In the morning as they went. Two or ! three hours after micnight fell a si- | lence which was to last until dawn, j The combatants rested on their arms, ! Browns saying to Grays, "We shall J be ready for the morrow!" and Grays j replying: "So shall we!" Marta, at her window, her eyes fol- i lowing the movements of the display, | now here, now there, found herself , thinking of many things, as fn the intermissions between the acts of a drama. She wondered If the groan ing, wounded man were' crying for water or if he wero wishing that some one at home were near him. She thought of her talk with Lanstron and how feminine and feeble It must have sounded to a mind working in the in exorable processes of the clash of millions of men. She saw his left hand twitching in his pocket, his right hand gripping it to hold It still, on that afternoon when, for the first time, she had understood his injury In the aeroplane accident as the tal lsman of his feelings—his controlled feelings! Always his controlled feel ings! She saw Westerling, so conscious of his strength, directing his chess men in a death struggle against Par tow. And he was coming to this house ; as his headquarters when the final j test of the strength of the Titans was ; made. She hoped that her mother was still \ sleeping; and she had seconds when ; she was startled by her own calmness. ! Again, the faces of the children in : her school were as clear as in life. ; She breathed her gratitude that the procession in which they moved to the rear was hours ago out of the Tha Searchlight Caught Them In Mer ciless Silhouette. theater of danger. In the simplicity of big things, her duty was to teach them, a future generation, no lees than Feller's duty was the pursuing shadow of his conscience. She should see war, alive, naked, bloody, and she | would tell her children what she had seen as a warning. Silence, except an occasional rifle ■hot —silence and the darkness before dawn which would, she knew, concen trate the lightnings around the house. She glanced into her mother's room and marveled as at a miracle to find her sleeping. Then she stole down-i stairs and opened the outer door of the dining-room. A step or two brought her to the edge of tho ve randa. There she paused and leaned against one of the stone pillars. Del larme himself was in a half-reclining position, his back to a tree. He I seemed to be nodding. Except for a few on watch over the sand-bags, his men were stretched on the earth, mov ing restlessly at intervals, either in an efTort to sleep or waking suddenly after a spell of harassed unconscious ness. CHAPTER XII. Hand to Hand. With the first sign of daw» there was a movement of shadowy forms taking position In answer to low spoken commands. The search-light yielded its vigil to the wide-spread beam out of the east, and the detail of the setting where Marta was to watch the play of one of man's pas sions, which he dares not permit the tender flesh of woman to share, grew distinct. Bayonets were fixed on the rifles that lay along the parapet of sand-bags in front of the row of brown shoulders. Back of them in the yard was a section of Infantry in reserve, also with bayonets fixed, ready to fill the place of any who fell out of line, a doctor and stretchers to care for the wounded, and a detachment of en gineers to mend any breaches made in the breastwork by shell fire. The gunner of the automatic sight ed his barrel, slightly adjusted its elevation, and swung it back and forth to make sure that it worked smoothly, while his assistant saw that the fresh belts of cr 'ridges which were to feed it were within easy reach. In straw hat and blue blouse, shuf fling with his old mnn'n walk. Feller came along the path from the gate. He was in retreat from the enticing picture of the regiment of fleld-guns in front of tho castle that was ready for action. As the infantry had never interested him, he would be safe from temptation in the yard. "This is no place for you!" said one of the engineers. "No, and don't waste any time, ei ther, old man!" said another. "Back to your bulbs!" Feller did not even hear them. For the moment he was actually deaf. "Fire!" said Dellarme's whistle. "Thur-r-r!" went the automatic in soulless, mechanical repetition, its tape spinning through the cylinder, while the rifles spoke with the human Irregularity of steel-tipped fingers pounding at random on a drumhead. All along the line facing La Tir the volume of fire spread until it was like the concert of a mighty loom. The Gray batteries having tried out their range by the flashes of the au tomatic the previous evening, were making the most of the occasion. "Uk-ung-n-ng!" the breaking Jackets whipped out their grists. The re serves, the hospital-corps men and the engineers hugged the breastwork for cover. The leaves clipped from the trees by bullets were blown aside with the hurricane breaths of shrapnel bursts; bullets whistled so near Marta that she heard their shrillness above every other sound. She was amazed that the houses still remained stand ing—that anyone was alive. But she had a glimpse of Dellarme maintain ing his set smile and another of Fel ler, who had crept up behind the au tomatic, making impatient "come-on! come-on! what-is-the-matter-with-you?" gestures in the direction of the bat teries in front of the castle. "Thur-eesh —thur-eesh!" As the welcome note swept overhead he waved his hands up and down in mad rapture and then peeped over the breastwork to ascertain if the prac tice were good. The Brown batteries had been a little slow in coming into action, but they soon broko the pre oision of the opposing fire. Now shells coming frequently fell short or went wide. The air cleared. Then a chance shell, striking at the one point which the man who fired it elx thousand yards away would have chosen as his bull's-eye, obscured Fel ler and the automatic and its gunners in the havoc of explosion. Feller must have been killed. The dust settled; she saw Dellarme making frantic ges tures as he looked at his men. They I were kepping up their fusillade with j unflinching rapidity. Thcough the breach left in the breastwork she had > glimpses, as the dust was finally dis sipated, of gray figures, bayonets fixed, pressing together as they came on fiercely toward the opening. The Browns let go the full blast of their magazines. Had that chance Bhell turned the scales? Would tbe Grays | get Into the breastwork? All Marta's faculties and emotions 1 were frozen in her stare of suspense ; at the breach. Then her heart leaped, i a cry in a gust of short breaths broke ! from her lips as the Browns let go a rasping, explosive, demoniacal cheer. I The first attack had been checked! After triumph, terror, falntness, and a closing of her eyes, she opened them to see Feller, with his old straw hat —brim torn and crownless now— still on his head, rise from the debris and shake himself like a dog coming ashore from a swim. While the engi neers hastened to repair the breach he assisted Stransky, who had also been knocked down by the concus sion, to lift the overturned autodtatio off the gunner. The doctor, putting a hand on the gunner's heart, shook his head, and two hospital-corps men re moved the body to make room for the engineers. f""o Re Continued.] FARMERS' INSTITUTE DATES Selinsgrove, Pa., Set. 25.—Dates for Farmers' Institutes In Snyder county have been arranged for this year.
