WOMAN AND THE HOME. Facts. Fashion ami Fancy of Interest . to Bamberg County Women. One of the imported blouse models is of flesh pink cotton voile. It is made with a peplum and the peplum and right front, collar and cuffs are all edged with little loops of blue voile rolled into a cord. Small blue buttons are used close together down the front. Another pretty blouse model is of pink crepe de chine, made with a peplum. There is a sailor collar, but as the blouse fastens in the back it buttons quite boldly through the centre of the sailor collar. There are pockets on the peplum. Evening coats for winter wear are voluminous and are made with much Vinoo full r?r?11ars and i U i . 1 1IC1C d.1 c Iiugb i "? ' - wide fur cuffs, and the woman inside such a coat is difficult to find, so hidden is she in fur and folds of velvet, the fabric used generally for the coats. Low heeled street boots are an es, tablished fact. And they are very attractive. They are cut on a graceful, slender last, and have nothing of the common-sense look about them, in spite of their low heel. This lack of a common-sense look will have much to do with their fashion, no doubt. For we have not yet reached a stage where common-sense in clothes appeals to us for its own sake. Ostrich toques are one of the smart sorts of hats of the autumn. They are charming in a good quality fpathpr but the cheaper ones are hardly worth while. For ostrich should be of good quality to be really good looking. An evening frock of satin and tulle shows a half a dozen oval hoops of pearl beads, through which strands s of the tulle are drawn. Chiffon velvet handbags, many of ? them elaborately bead-embroidered, are worn with afternoon costumes. Plaid and checked velvet is used for trimming many of the new suits and frocks. A good deal of white ermine, used without tails, enters into the winter's fur suppiy. It is made into shoulder capes and sometimes into evening coats and it is used as trimming in combination with some of the dark furs. Very often a bunch of tails is used like a tassel on the end of a white *? - - >-* aaIIot* ermine scan ui lunai. Hats of every sort are always worn by winter-clad femininity. There is a distinct element of upturned brims, . and above the piquant type of face these are decidedly effective. Some of the new frocks show elbow sleeves and already these seem like a novelty. A smart riding costume is made of tweed, in a firm weave, in gray, with fiakes of green and brown. * White net blouses are worn with velvet afternoon frocks. The upstanding ruffle at the top of the skirt is featured. Wine color, plum color, Burgundy red?all of which sound as interesting as they are?are much used this autumn. Sliip for Ship From Germany. London dispatches say that Britain >x will soon be compelled to announce that for every British merchant ship sunk by German submarines, one of equal tonnage will be taken from the Germans at the end of the war. The German mercantile marine interests are chief among the instigators of submarine warfare, because they hope the reduction of British shipping power will play into their hands. Threatened with confiscation of their ships, in the event of a clean-cut allied victory, they will not be such chirpy supporters of Von . Tirpitz.?Montreal Gazette and Em pi re. Too Rich Cream Likely. \ "To illustrate the uses of advertisement," says a well known theatrical manager, "there is one experience I had of which I often think. "I was driving when I came to a farm where there was a meadow to let. The owner of this farm would have made a good advertisement manager, for the big poster announcing that the meadow was to let was worded as follows: " 'This field to let. seventeen acres, for grazing. Persons having old cattle or cattle with strong appetites, had better be cautious in turning them out to graze here, as my grass is so rich that it would be liable to 'injure them for the first week or * *' + r*rr Dr?ot SO. rnuuuig i wo There are still hermits in Italy who live solitary lives in mountain caves, and they number no fewer than 909.

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED?size, passenger capacity, sphere of usefulness, first cost, cost of upkeep and enduring qualities?we submit there's no other car in the world that can compare with this great Reo. THE MERE FACT that Reo the*Fifth has been standard for now seven seasons is proof conclusive of what we've just said..

I NEVER WAS THE DEMAND for this model as great as right now. It is almost hopelessly in excess of the factory output?and the output is greater than ever before. COST OF UPKEEP and operation is 'he reason. This has proved to be lower year in and year out than any other car of similar pew er or price or capacity?and less than in the case of most cars of half the weight and size.

ANY NEW OAR is a good car?it is the seven years service of this Reo the Fifth model that proves. . ORDERS IN OUR HANDS now will get prefer ence in deliveries and the little delays will be more than compensated for by the extra value you'll get in your Reo when you do get it.
