No longer do we strug gle with buttons, snaps or hooks and eyes. The slip-on blouse, off spring f the buttonless sweater, ob viates all "lost motion" and makes for efficiency in quick dressing. White silk crepe, barred in blue, furnishes this blouse, whose shoulder buttons are "camouflage." The reck opening permits this blouse to slip on over the head. The shoulder trimming, belt, cuffs and skirt border are of plain blue crepe. This is a good model for ging ham, voile, dimity, crepe de chine or Georgette crepe.

There is a fine arts exhibition over in the new 'Masonic temple building which seems to be about as popular as the North Pole. Judging from the large crowds which don't attend, the exhibit is either a secret or the press agent is busy elsewhere. The Arts society should hire Gene Melady or . Carl Marfisi or Billy Byrne or Dumb Dan Morgan or some other high-powered propounder of publicity who fears the wrath of neither man nor city editor and per haps' they might get some of the money before. Steelier and Caddock wrestle and. get it all. They charge ten bucks a seat for a wrestling match and get $27,000 in one night. It costs a dime to see the art exhibition and the receipts for a week are $2.70. It's a very nice exhibit, though, and if you want to spend an hour or two in complete solitude we unhesitating ly recommend it. You will not- be crowded for room. The pictures are all by one Mon sieur Alfred Philippe Roll, which proves he is French and a regular artist. Whei. you are a common citi zen or just a plain low-brow, it is "Philip," but when you are an artist it is "Fhilippe." Philippe is some curly wolf at that; he bars nobody or no thing. He draws 'or paints or executes, or whatever -it is you do when you are an artist, everything from a rheumatic truck horse which aspires to be a thor oughbred to a lady who apparently never heard of Major Funkhouier. Also he uses oils and crayons and pencils and pastels, whatever thatit We always thought a pastel was something Fred Fulton hoped to hang on Jess Willard July 4 next, but as usual i.i our low-brow way we hsve erred grievously. This according to the art expert. , Seventeen is the number of one of the pictures. In the catalogue it says No. 17 is i'The Pink Room.' After giving the picture the visual forward and back, one wonders what 'became of the room. The retouch artist must have blocked it out. For so fir at our ignorant and inexperienced optic could discover the picture consists ex clusively of a lady of uncertain age, but kittenish ways who,,had overlook ed the fact that the Garden of Eden style of dress went out pf fashion at the time of the forbidden fruit epi sode. The pink, however, was on the job with much eclat in a robe which the lady used, no doubt to hide the mole on her knee, and which is still pink enough to use for a railroad danger signal. Another picture is called the "Young Republic," but it looked more like a lady blacksmith, and as for the young part,, if the Young Republic is ySung, Lillian Russell is still a broiler, and Frankie Bailey should still be using a high chair. There are several other worsen in the exhibit. Any one of 'em might get into a Winter Garden show on their nerve, but never en their pulchritude. There are also some pictures of men, but for some reason or other we can't remember that we looked at them at all. At the "farm and food" encamp ment to be opened by the national Service school in" Washington this month, women students are to be in structed in dairying, planting and handling tractor plows. Dress Hints Honeycomb and Bedford cords ar utlized to form white skirts., Novelty flowers for hats are actual ly made of sawdust. Sleeves of evening robes slashed from shoulder to elbow. art Sashes, such as little girls wear, are supplying few thrills. 1 6te3np3i iiEili- four l' J POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENTS.

Colds are simply Inflammations of the air passages and everybody knowa that the only way to reach, the tit, passages direct is by means of apora that can be inhaled.

In addition VapoRub is ab-1 eorbed through and stimulates the ekln taking out .that tightness and soreness in the chest ' For head colds, hay fever, catantt or asthmatic troubles VapoRub can either be applied up the nostrils or a little melted in a spoon and the vapors inhaled.
