i^UMrtnw# 1? Not Overdrew lug.
New York, J ttuuary 27, ? To look real
ly smart i? a hug* problem that tho' av
erage wuuiaii In just beginning to solve.
The rarlslau, by u natural lu*tliH*t,
chooses her clothes correctly aud wisely,
and alway* look* chic. Hut the Aiueri'
can womau in the pant has heen in
clined to lavish upon herself finery that
was neither well chosen nor becotnlug.
To attaiu that height of charm that the
Pavi*ian*pom?eaaed was not a matter for
n few moment's thought ami then dis
missal; It required a study of one's own
personality, attractions, aud detractions,
aud thou tho search for the exact Hues
in dress that aecentuated the uttiactlooa
and artfully hid the delects.
Having fouud the suitable linen, the
harmony of tho costume must bo consid
ered -harmony, for instance, betwecu hat
and suit, aud shoe* aud suK; aud then,
of course, harmony in the color achetue.
Some womeu carelessly wear tho hat
that they wear at the matinee, when they
go for a walk In the morning. The tlmej
? UoCau.
HophliHcauoii in Simple Lines
and place must be given consideration,
for how absurd to wear a dressy hat
with a mannish walking costume. It
the hat is dressy and the suit of coat
must be dressy dml the shoe* must be
of a rather dainty last, 'If one does
not properly complement the other, the
entire costume is a failure, even though
each part in itself is pleasing. The dis
cordant combination has a distasteful ef
fect.
lYrbaps the biggeKt factor in the de
velopment of a perfect costume is the
material. The material must be good,
for though the lines be perfect and the
fit above the slightest criticism, if the
material is of inferior quality the time
aud labor have been *penjt In vain. An
expensive material will outlast the cheap
er material aud always is a mark of
good taste. The present modes require
very little material and for that very
reason everyone Ought to exert extensive
efforts td buy the best material.
Affairs are gradually becoming normal
and very soon the market will lower
the prices of woolen goods ? not as low
as the pre-war prices, however, f^r mar
ket conditions arc never the same after
a war as before. And with the matA'lal'
cheaper, no one will have the slightest
excuse for not being a imart and well
-1 reused person.
Thanks to the sensible buyers, aud, I
rtuint say, sensible women, tho. demand
por novelty shoes has decreased and they
are now pe^see. So few have feet that
can wear these oddly cut boots and
shoes ; and still just those who can not
will attempt it if it has been approved
as the prevailing mode in footwear. If
one has those dainty little feet that
lcok well In short vamp shoes, one
should stick, to short vamp shoes whether
la mode censors them or pot. Loud,
extreme colors should be avoided, and
if one wftnts a spot of light color next
the skirt, there arc many subdued shades
of Bpats that otic may get at a reason
able price.

Ancient Czechoslovaks.
Tho Cxeens two an ancient race.
They were flourishing In Bohemia
away back In the fifth century before
Christ, and they have ' always 'been
noted for their progressive spirit, for
their longings in the direction of lib
eralism and democracy, and above all
for their Industrial and commercial
enterprise, thanks to which they have
been for the past 400 years the eco
nomic backbone of the Hapsburg mon
archy. * . . ? ? - "
They were independent and there
fore unfettered, until they foolishly
elected Emperor Ferdinand of Aus
tria as their ralfiE-iiL 1620. .not -only
because he was' married to the daugh
ter and heiress of St. Wenceslaus, but
also because he solemnly pledged him
self to respect their national rights and
f liberties. Needless to add that Ferdi
nand I failed tp keep his promises.
This Is a peculiarity of the house of
Hapsburg, which Is at last to bring
ruin upon their empire.

RED CROSS RALLY < ^
He success of the I ted Crows rally
held at the Ootfrt House lsstFriday 4af
ternoou was very gratifying to the local I
Chrfpter.< A large crowd filled the hall]
to wrttfoino iho speakers' and the thir
teen returned soldiers, both white -andl
colored, who marched in. The singing
was led by Mr. Young of Camp Jack
son. nud the audience joined enthusias
tically in "America*" Htfd then "Dixie".
A pleasing address of welcome was
nVade by Mr. L. T. Mills, Treasurer of
the Camden Chapter, who told why the
meeting was held. "When the Roys
Come XI ome'Y-a duet rendered by Misses
Nolan and Latta wax much Enjoyed.
M ru T. Kirklaud Trotter made a* TqW
well chosen remarks and told of the
need of the men of the County who have
returned. Mr. Young- asked for mothers,
fathers, sisters and wives to stand who
had loved ones in the service. Community
singing, followed, in which, the school
.children heartily joined. Mr. Charles
Kllis, who went over the top and was
ga^ed at St. Quentin gave aq interest
ing talk. Dtv Joseph- Morsr,*waw~ then
introduced and -made a fine address. Dr.
Morse is Red Cross director at Camp
Jackson. A song by Miss Nolan closed
a most interesting and instructive meet*
tag. from which it is earnestly hoped
great results will come. Misses Alberta
Team and Willie Watltfn* presided at
the piano, and the music was quite an
additiou to the occasion.

to call attention again toSrfce fact, that
this is "Clean Up Week" and to urge

The Civic JLeague haw dohe wonders
Jo bring this about and nature- has given
JJ9 .fi wonderful selling for the making
of a City Beautiful and there is no lack
g>rd?n,? homos
to lay th$' foundation for thds City of
our droams, hut it will never be realized
until the Civic pride of everyone of its
citizens is aroused and the membership
of this League, is increased many fold.
One has only to contrast the appearance
of our parks, now, with wibat they were
41 few y oars Ago before they were^taken
in charge by the league, to realize what
the faithful few members have accom
plished, with? tbo smair nnmitg ^Theif
coAimand ant^no financial aid from the
"town, beyond the occasional use of a
man to work in our parka. "A drop
in the bucket" compared to the number
?n| si?(? of them.
.Several ycanr'ago on? ^ncious moui
ber of jibe League who Hvcr near one
of the parks offered to plant seeds and
superintend the beds of flower* later on,
that would have made beauty spots that
would haw delighted the ejfc if the town
wouJd give a single faucet to get the
water necesjlwry to maintain tbein. The
committee of ?ne> who adked this small
boon was told' the towu could not afford
the outlay, so no flowers are making
bright the "inasto places for lack of a
faucet.
In conclusion, unlobs Ijhere is a large
increase in the membership of the league
and there is more co-operation by the
Mayor and town eotindl "the faithful
few" coasting of 00 paid , up member*
will continue to be hampered by lack
of 'means and the practical help of the
eiti/zens of our town. Membership fee
is only 25 cents a year and it is hoped
that at the next annual* meeting on the
second Monday in Februaty when the
-- ? ,|. .. ? .-.31 ...i* .m.mm . ..... ? . .... ?%??.. i'W "^llLtTTj
fees are due for 1010 there. will be many?
new members of those . who have *'seea
