WHAT FASHIONABLE
W03IKX WILL WEAK
THIS SEASON.
Stylus Dcscriliod liy Mr. Wilcox,
of the Store (lint Sells Wool
tex. A graceful, youthful figure.
That will be the aim of every woman
who wants to be In style, this Spring.
This doos not mean that women will
try to look like sixteen-year-old girls.
Rather, they will choose clothes that
give graceful, youthful lines, lines tint
indicate the natural paSsL activity
and attractiveness of young woman
hood. Skillful tailoring has much to lo
with giving clothes the graceful curves
of youth. And Just as the good cook
requires the best Ingredients for her
cakes, so the expert tailors require the
best materials for garments that they
recommend to stylish dressers.
Fiudilon's rrnimnciit Fentures
In suits and coats, the most fashion
able features are the incurve at the
waist, without being close fitting, and
the sharply ilared rippling plaits below
the waistline.
Many Jackets and coats have almost
a wlng-Hke flare. This feature is car
ried out In a smaller way in the llared
culTs which finish tho new boll sleeves.
Plain nmterals and checks are pre
ferred for suits. The plain materials
are frequently ornamented with silk
embroidery and inlays of taffeta.
For sport coats there are new nov
elty weaves of htte wool and fancy
coating In navy, copponhagen, Hol
land blue, old rose, maize, green and
red.
Silks are very fashionable and prom
ise to grow more popular as the sea
son advances.
Smartest Skirts arc Short
As skirts are all fuller, either In clr
cular models or plaited, they give the
smartest appearance when worn quite
short.
Eight to ten inches from the ground
is the most fashionable length. Even
conservative women will wear their
sklrtB six inches from the ground.
Tho now short skirts are, inoat con
venient. With trim footwear and hos
iery to match, they are genteel and
very pleasing in appearance.
Tho Ulustrntlon above shows the
now silhouette. It shows tho grace
ful, youthful curves and the wing-like
fiare.
The suit is a Wooltex suit. It Is one
of tho many handsome new models of
suits nnd coats shown by Wilcox's the
Store Thnt Sells Wooltex In this city,
" .Misfortune Overtakes lllsso.
Many of tho older residents will re
mombor W. B. Risse, who at one tlmo
was associated with J. S. Hoagland ns
practicing attorney, and thoy will re
grot to lenm that ho Is now In almost
a holploss condition, resulting from tho
amputation of bath logs. In a letter
to Judge French Mr. Itisso tells of his
misfortune. Brlofly stated In June,
1914, ho put a plaster about tho size of
a nlcklc to reduce a calloused spot on
his right foot. A running wound re
sulted nnd two monthsr later n too wnB
taken oif to prevent tho spread of tho
poison-affected portions of the foot
This was followed by an nmputatlon of
the leg olght inches below tho knee
Ho managed to got along fairly well
until last summer, whon tho loft leg
began paining him. This continued to
grow worso until lust November when
tho loft leg was amputated. Ho Bponds
tho groator part of hls.tmo in a wheel
chair, but ho hopoa to bo ablo In tlmo
to movo around with tho aid of art!
ficiivl limbs nnd crutchos.
Mr. RIsso for a numbor of years has
boon gonoral attornoy for tho Court of
Honor, a fraternal lnsuranco com
pany, with hoadquartors at Spring
