VOLUME 4 S
A DIRGE.
There was a town named Waverly
Uhil
In which they essayed to play bask¬
et- ball.
A game was played, as you may
know
The final score being fourteen to
four.
A loud hurrah the school did raise.
And to itself it rendered great praise.
In something resembling verse, in
its own eyes,
The fame of Waverly Hall was rais¬
ed to'skies.
(It roust be a place where they are
as wise as owls;
For the way they spell f-o-u-l-s is
f-o-w-l-s)
But - there will be other games, we
trow
And the same w ill end by a differ¬
ent score.
And as in the history of things in
the Past,
He will “laugh best who laughs
last.”
THE BIGGEST POTATO.
The potato show went off all right,
Mr, T. A. Gay winning the first prize
with a potato that at digging time
weighed eight pounds. Mr. J. A.
Reid won die second with a potato
that at time of digging weighed
pounds. A display oi line potatoes 1
was sent by Mr G. D. Champion, of
C hipley- - one dozen tine old-time
pumpkin yams with a total weight 01
33 pounds. The largest weighed four
pounds, the smallest two pounds. Mr
Champion raised 75 bushels on a quar¬
ter of an acre. Mr. C. tells of a corn
yeild too that would be hard to match.

Undergarment of Days Gone By Not
Like the Abbreviated Style
of Today.
IJnderlinen follows the fashion like
every item of dress, and of late, says
a writer In the London Gentlewoman,
there has been a decided curtailing of
an undergarment that Once reached
the ankles. Nowadays it starts at the
bust, has narrow satin ribbons upon
the shoulders to keep It In place, and
stops above the knees. How our grand¬
mothers would hnve opened—or shut
—their eyes! But these short chemises
have their practical side. Let me ex¬
plain. As everybody knows, it Is al¬
ways the bottom of the chemise that
lasts longer than the top, and when
the latter begins to show signs of
wear beneath the arms, as is the na¬
ture of fine fabric or linen undergar¬
ments, economy that has been prac¬
ticed in so many forms during the
war, has taught us to cut away the
worn portion and join the embroid¬
ery or lace, or whatever the trim¬
ming at the bust may he, to the lower
part and thus make a new short
chemise out of an old long one.
Silk chemises are very general In
Paris, as linen is such a scarce article
in France since the disasters in the
Norlh. Pale pink is to be seen in the
leading ateliers, with nattier blue em¬
broidered and the same blue shade in
ribbons.
TO MAKE A PRETTY PARASOL
Little Flowers With Camouflage
Leaves Add to the Beauty of
the Sunshade.
One of a new collection of lovely
parasols can very easily be copied by
the girl who Is only moderately clever
with her needle. She may either buy
a plain silk one in any of the pastel
shades, and decorate It, or she may
even dress up last year’s one to look
like new. The Idea Is this: At Inter¬
vals about the edge Is a little flower
with two camouflage leaves. The
flower is made of little sliirrings of
georgette crepe and there is a little
loop of the same material on either
side of the iitt'e round group of shlr
rings to suggest the leaves. These ap
liqued flowers may be of the same col¬
or as 1he parasol or they may all be of
different pale shades. A dresden color
scheme would be lovely indeed. What¬
ever colors you choose, however, you
will find that your parasol to carry
when you wear summery things is
quite the duintiest you have ever seen.
The moving picture plant has been
installed, the lirst entertainments be¬
ing announced for Wednesday and
Thursday of this week. The adinit

The bond election was almost
unanimous. So jubilant was the

children, marched to the polls in a

CHEMISE OF DIFFERENT TYPE
LACE ON FROCKS AND HATS
3oft Colored Decorations One of the
Season's Favorites; Chiffon Drap¬
eries Not Hemmed.
A really lovely summer hat of lav¬
ender organdie which could be suc¬
cessfully worn with any sort of dress
tas row after row of narrow valen
ffonnes lace placed around crown and
tlong the brim and tinted of the exact
shade as the organdie which makes the
tat. The lace is put on with sufficient
tullness to make it frilly and therefore
:o produce a very soft, puffed effect.
We shall see many of these tinted,
ace-trimmed frocks and hats as sum
ner advances; therefore, if one likes
:o be it bit ahead of the proces¬
sion, by all means procure the soft
tolored laces now 7 . Undeniably tiffs is
1 face season anyway. The beautiful
Margot laces are combined with georg¬
ettes delightfully. This lace is very
1 hie and rich, and comes in various
vidths from narrow 7 bandings to
founcings wide enough for skirts.
j A lavender chiffon frock which has
icon greatly admired lias panels of
ids creamy lace placed at both sides
if the hack, and the sleeves reveal it
'ailing from file elbow to tile liem of
lie skirt in a deep loop. The front of
he waist is a jacket effect made by
ffacing the lace over the chiffon and
citing the bottom edge appear below
he soft satin sash'in the front. The
nick of (lie waist repeats the lace also,
tnd the two side panels of the lace
bin the waist line under the sash at

’"ii draperies this summer, ns the
selvage is esteemed as a trimming.
Spanish Birth Rate.
Now it is in Spain that they are
beginning to worry about (ho rising
death rate and the falling birth rate.
Or. Gomez Ocnna presents in K1 Siglo
Medico (Barcelona) statistics for sev¬
eral years, showing that in 1012 tlie
death rate was 21.(5 per 1,000- papula*
(ion, and (lint by 1017, before the ad¬
vent of the pandemic of influenza, It
had risen to 20.10. And the birth rate
fell from 01.00 per thousand in 1912
to 20.2 in 1017.
Official figures for 1918 are not yet
available, but in the city <>f Madrid
the death rate rose in that year to
30.37, while the birth rate fell to 20.70.
The figures for 11)18, however, are ab¬
normal because of the pandemic.
