against a sea of burglars, and by
opposing end them, the life of the

alotiK with the offender.
Out in the neighborhood of Doug

there has been a sufficiency of
burglaries in their vicinity, are arm

olvers" which will .be turned on
suspicious characters approaching
their premises at un.Msnn:ihli
hours. These women are not de
pending upon a knowledge of fire
arms which they may have acquired
from their brothers in childhood
days, but are making arrangements
for real target practice at a local
field. Mrs. J. C. Lawrence and
Mrs. II., vJ. Holmes are leading
members of this unique organiza

What's What
By HELEN DECIE
.
Many an otherwise intelligent
woman is obstinately stupid in the
matter Of correct dress for formal
evening wear. Whether a woman is
old or young, serious or frivolous,
she should hot make herself singu
lar by dressing hopelessly out of
fashion. No one need wear ex
tremely ' low-cut, sleeveless gowns;
that is a matter of taste or the
want of it but he other extreme
is absurd. When the year 1921 is
but a few weeks away, a woman
with hair coiffed and clothes made
in the style of 1911 or 1901 renders
herself conspiciously grotesque.
In every woman's wardrobe there
should be at least one gown ready
for social functions in the evening.
It may be quiet in color, simple in
line; it may be elbow sleeved, and
cut only slightly around the neck
line, but it should conform in some
measure to the convention that a
woman shall not wear high-collared
street attire at any festal occasion
after twiligfbt.

Professionals and
Amateurs in Art,
Take Note-
The Craik-Roberts studio, Oscar
W. Craik, director, are busily decor
ating their office and club room in
the Lyric building. The club room,
which will seat more than 1UU peo
ple, will be used for the plays given
by the Craik-Roberts companies, and
will also be available for organiza
tions, that may, in addition to leav
ing the privilege ot using these at-
travtive rooms, prepare and serve tea
or other light refreshments. Chaf
ing dishes, dainty china and quaint
teapots will all be part of the equip
ment. Mark Levings, director of the
Unity players of the Unitarian
church, also known for Jiis artistic
work with the Folk theater players
last year, is planning and executing
the attractive decorations through
out the studio, assisted by Messrs
Craik and Roberts. The side walls
of the club room will be a painted
bubbleland. The ceiling will be a
dome of clouds and the effect as a
whole will be a fairyland of' color.
The office room will be more
striking in its tone color of rose
and black. A "Rooster Frieze" will
be the unique decorative feature of
this room. Lighting effects and
stage settings will be simple in
scheme.
It is the hope of Mr. Craik and
Mr. Roberts that a real Mid-West
theater may be developed here pro
ducing original dramas written by
"home folks." A Craik-Roberts re
pertoire company now exists, com
posed of students of the school.
They are working on five one-act
plays and two longer ones, the first
of "which will be given January 8 in
connection with a matinee tea. A
benefit program for the Gir's' Com
munity House will be among their
early offerings.
Mr. Craik says they want their
studio to be a meeting place for ar

and literature, and art.

What Is an Ideal
Christmas Gift?
It should be unusual, and what is better still,
' useful. Always, to be sure, it must be a sur
prise. Then we enjoy not only the pleasure
of unexpected possession of what we have
never had, but that pleasure is sustained day
by day by its usefulness; and in using, there
is ever a pleasant memory of, the thought
fulness and kindness of the giver. J
Such a Gift Is an Electfical Gift
We are sure our display will afford new sug
gestions. The service rendered will be one
of positive satisfaction.
