Unique Costumes at Kasauerade.
Harte hall in Dundee presented a
lively scene iuesdar evening when
the bachelors of the Winter Dancing
ciud cast aside their customary diK
. nity and entertained at' a hard-time
sarty.
"Often such affairs fall flat, but
everyone entered into the spirit
splendidly and it was a bis success.
said one of the girls the morning
alter.
'Old-fashioned gowns, worn by
ttjeir mothers and grandmothers
thirty years ago, formed the costumes
for a number of the girls, who had
evidently spent the last few days
rummaging in the old trunks in the
attic, consulting fashion books of
yore, and getting hints as to what
their grandmothers wore when girls.
Miss Helen smith wore her grand
mother's dress, which was twenty-five
years old and made with the tight
fitting' boned black silk basque, and
a full skirt with a train and many
puffs. A hat trimmed with various
colored ostrich feathers was worn
with this quaint old costume.
Miss Dorothy Smith also had a
gown made in similar fashion, worn
thirty years ago by her grandmother.
This had a blue skirt, tight-boned
basque and with it she wore a hat
with a red feather sticking up in back.
Miss Ruth Slabaugh wore an old
fashioned party gown of her mother's
and Mrs. Nile-Booth wore her grand
mother's archery suit of champagne
color, with a stin cut-away coat, and
puffed skirt made very full. The
bonnet was quite the most interesting
of any that was worn, for her grand
mother pjrchased it in Paris many
years ago, and it was a cunning little
poke trimmed with petite red roses.
Miss Dorothy Bingham's make-up
was considered perhaps the most com
: ical and original. It was an 1820
model made with an extremely tight
kirt draped with most every color
of the rainbow, and she wore the
never-to-be-forgotten red satin tango
shoes and a small hat of many colors.
Miss Marjorie Beckett is another
who made a raid upon the attic, for
she wore a unique old dress of her
mother's and gay plaid stockings and
black mits.
The Misses Katherine Davenport
and Elizabeth Carr were little girls,
and Miss Harriet Copley a country
maiden with red apron and sunbon
net. t
The men had also been through
their fathers' relegated wardrobes.
The majority of them wore some rid
iculous costumes of their paternal an
cestors. '
Mr. Ned Aitchison wore a small
derby hat, tight-fitting riding trous
ers faced up with all colors of baby
ribbon and was minus the riding
boots, while Mr. Taylor Belcher wore
an old and ill-fitting dress suit with
only one sleeve and one dancing
pump, a mismated oxford on the
other foot.
The only disappointing feature of
the evening was when refreshment
time came, and none were.to be found.
Evidently, some mischievous little
boys decided to play a trick on their
older brothers, and they did not leave
even a glass of punch to quench the
thirst of the opera comique dancers.
Social Affairs Planned.
Mrs. James Drummond will enter
tain the Winormissit Card club Thurs
day afternoon.
Mrs. F. W Carpenter has reserva
tions' for eight at luncheon at the
Blackstone tomorrow.

Boston Fair Sex
Mobilizes a Cors
Of Thousand Cars
To take care of women and chil
dren first in the event of an invasion,
Governor MeCall of Massachusetts
has been offered the use of 1,000 light
automobiles and the service of a large
corps of trained women drivers. The
formation of this auxiliary brigade
was undertaken by a prominent mo
torist at inc suKgesiiun vi wunicn
drivers and is the direct outcome of
the motor car mobilization in the east
last spring and summer, during the
preparedness campaign.
As soon as a rupture with oermany
became a certainty, offers of cars and
drivers began coming in to C. S. Hen
shaw, Dodge Bros, dealer in Boston,
and owing to the number of women
drivers who volunteered it was decid
ed after conference with the authori
ties that the most useful service to
which a reserve corps might be turned
would be the removal of women and
children from any threatened area,
practically ever other branch of activ
ity naving ucen cuvcreu 111 plans al
ready made.
Although only 1,000 Dodge Bros.
cars were offered to the governor, Mr.
Henshaw states that from information
already at hand he would be able to
supply two or three times that num
ber ot cars and drivers it called upon.
Mr, Henshaw was the leading spirit
in the previous motor car mobiliza
tions.

Fashion Hint
Ribbon accessories add much to the
charm of the' summer outfit. The
girdle here is fashioned in pale blue
radium ribbon. A fascinating bag in
blue and white ribbon adds a fetching
note to one's outfit. Ribbon hats are
exceedingly attractive, as may be
judged from the slightly rolling
brimmed hat illustrated. All of these
little details tend to "trim up" an
otherwise simple outfit.
Mrs. Hoy's Son Sends
Appeal and Protest
To the President
Washington, Feb. 28. President
Wilson has received the following
cablegram from Austin Y. Hoy, whose
mother and sister were lost when the
Laconia was torpedoed without warn
ing by a German submarine.
i am an American citizen repre
senting the Sullivan Machinery com
pany of Chicago, living abroad, not
as an expatriate, but for the promo
tion of American trade. I love the
flag, believing in its significance. My
beloved mother and sister, passengers
on the Laconia, have been foully mur
dered on the high seas.
"As an American citizen outraged
and as such fully within my rights
and as an American son and brother
bereaved, I call upon my govern
ment to nreserve its citizens self re
spect and save others of my country-
r r l. J f . - I
men irom sucnuecp griei as i now
feel. I am of military age, able to
fitrht. If mv country can use me
against these brutal assassins I am
at its command.
"If it stultifies my manhood and
my nation's, by remaining passive un
der outrages, I shall seek a man's
chance under another flag.

Make Record in the Shortest Month
Marriige license figures show there

Even with the one-time lowly spud
soarinsr to dizzy heights in price and
other household necessities climbing
toward the clouds notch by notch,
the little mischief maker, D. Cupid,
continues to twang his lyre and shoot
his darts.
AH records for the month of Feb
ruary in the marriage license clerk's
office in the court house went by the
boards when "Cupid" Stubbendorf an
nounced that 235 of the fatal certifi
cates had been issued in the twenty
four days. The .total for the year
thus far is 418 licenses, 183 couples
having signed their life(?) agreements
in Douglas county in January.
Another interesting fact in con
nection with the marriage license of
fice at the close of the month is that
the clerk has taken in just $25,000 for
licenses in the last five years. This
is 12,500 licenses at $2 per couple.
Stubbendorf predicts his banner year
as official starter on the matrimonial
speedway. His advice to prospective
bridegrooms is $2 down and the most
of your salary for the rest of your
life.
When asked to what conditions he
attributed the rush for marriage li
censes "Cupid" rumpled his thinning
hair and opined that maybe it was be
cause of the rumors that theretwill be
a rush of European widows to this
country after the war.
RECIPE TO DARKEN
GRAY HAIR
This Home-Made Mixture Darkens
Gray Hair and Makes It
Soft and Glossy.
To a half pint of water add:
Bay Rum 1 oz.
rJarbo Compound a small box
Glycerine 'A oz.
These are all simple ingredients
that you can buy from any druggist
at very little cost, and mix them your
self. Apply to the hair once a day
for two weeks, then once every other
week until all the mixture is used.
A half pint should be enough to
darken" the gray hair and make it soft
and glossy. It is not sticky or
greasy and does not rub off. It
should make a gray-haired person
look 20 years younger. Adv.

New System of

Here's new way for all fat people to
laugh together at that old bugaboo
Obesity. The laying that "then ! nothing

to fat people any more. Here la something
new for them a new sensation,- a new
pleasure, a new and graceful figure, easily
found by anyone who is passing beyond the
limits of slimness. Everyone, haa heard of
the Marmola Prescription : that harmless
combination of fat-defying elements which
haa become known as the most successful
of all reducing treatments. Now there comes
another idea the idea of condensing these
Mme pure, harmless ingredients into a
pleasant little tablet. Taken after eating
snd at bed time, they help the stomach to
dispose of all the fatty foods, converting
them into compact, Bolid flesh, muscle and
energy, without dieting or exercise. Marmola
Prescription Tablets regulate the entire sys

self-denial can not do, and the fat, once
routed, is gone for good. You can prove all
this at a trifling cost. Marmola Prescription
Tablets are sold by all druggtsts or sent post
