The preliminary organization of na- j tional farm loan associations has) progressed to a degree far beyond the expectations of the fedral farm loan j board at Washington and everything points to the unqualified success of; this new enterprise. j HER SERVANT PROBLEM WAS EASILY SOLVED Since Then She Says She Has Felt Better Than in Years.

Unless something unforeseen hap pens, people will this spring have the opportunity of witnessing a great heavenly phenomenon?a mighty comet blazing forth niglrt after night, with its tail sweeping an immense arc through the heavens, a source of terror to the superstitious folk who may happen to be in the city, but of intense interest to all. Absurd scares may happen among usually well balanced people who believe the tail of the comet will sweep the surface of mother earth with, devastating effect. According to predictions this comet will be plainly visible in South Carolina. "Comet B, 1916," is the name of 1 the stranger. It is so called because it was the second comet discovered last year. Professor Wolf, of Koe nigstuhl, detected the rushing body's faint picture on a photographic plate last April and proceeded to telegraph the news all over the world with great vjoy. The statement that the new com et will be a monster rests principally on the fact that it was discovered when fully four hundred million miles I rum lUC trill Ul, JUOl naum uaw I orbit of the great planet Jupiter. All comets increase greatly in size J and brilliancy as they approach the j sun. If such proves to be the case | this time, "Comet B, 15*16," should ' make a great impression. It is useless to go out and look . for the comet tonight,' as it is now 1 on the other side of the sun, whose c illnminon rv>Tl PPO1Q it.

STYLES SEES OS FIFTH AVENUE Straw Hats and Smart Gowns Meet the Eye at Every Turn. GRAY A LEADING COLOB. New York, March 29, 1917. The glamour of Fifth Avenue act? ike magic always, even on the gray est and dreariest of days that March >rings with it. All outward gloom 8 quickly dispelled by the glitter of he shop-windows. Shoppers on their vay from one store to another pause continually to gaze and enjoy the wonderful displays. On the great .borough-fare itself, a never-ending )rocession of limousines, taxis and tmnibu-ses roll by, with interesting >ccu pants. Here the very latest whims of fash on appear, the very best dressed wo-i nen are seen; in short, all that sums ip the last word in faBhion-s is at me's command! LLii : ; \ \.L? / W-'J -r. \x; Iti U Ml * g| O J'cCall I Smart One-Piew Frock Developed In Two Materials. What are the smart women wear \ I'g? And what are tlie tempting bits )f finery exhibited in these glittering windows that cast such a spell about hem? Straw hats are quite the accepted hing now. One can count the hats hat are not springlike, so few an.1 ar between are they. The number >f people who still cling to the idea hat a straw hat is out of place be- j ore Easter, grows less and less daily. ] n fact, the tables are entirely turn-l d, and it is hard to believe that the; mt-of-place hats are those bright, | pringllK.e creations an a-uiwm lowers, and not those of darker hues .nd heavier materials. Even as early as this, hats of satin >r satin and straw are giving place o those of all-straw. Crepe and traw combinations are very good tyle. Sometimes thef crepe is used or the crowns of the small high :rowned turbans with a little straw i.round the narrow Drims, or eiae it s used for the brims of the wide ailors which have crowns of straw. Very high crowned and almost >rimless are some of i.he most popular ihapes, but the picturesque, wide )rimmed styles and fancy shapes are ilso being worn. Gray a Leading Color. Evidently, gray is one of the smart est of the light colors this season, kmd. bei?:e and putty are others vhich h-ave already- been successfully aunched. The popular gray is a soft one, most attractive in dresses of hiffon and crepe beaded or braided slaborately in a deeper tone of gTay. "or the most part, all-gray is gener illy favored, but a <ouch of light blue >r coral pink appears here and there. Even in shoes, gray i-s a color con iiderably used. Gray suede and kid mmps are exceptionally smart to go vith afternoon dresses, and in shoes or street wear the gray suede up minibuses roll by, with interesting eaiher ?^ps are most desirable. 2ray for gloves is also fashionable, 'specially to match the shoes or Iress. The first sketch shows one of the atest forms of the straight frock. It ia? three lars-e- tucks over the should ers, stitched to yoke depth and con- j tinued in soft pleats below the waist. The lower part of the dress, the col lar and cuffs are of figured material A belt extending around the sidei and back, with tv.o narrow straps liiing the gap across the front, marks the normal waistline. ?
