As the season advances women rightfully expect' deviations from the pre scribed styles for February. And more and more the sports styles are gaining / i favor with Dame Fashion and with the younger women who follow fashion close - 1y. Alive tp just such a condition, we planned to bring forth a bevy of extraor-" < dinary styles at this time, chiefest among which is a typical sports model, belted and plaited at the back. Rose, gold, mustard, tan and ruby are the five dominant shades. The fabric is of Wool Jersey, which is its own best, selling argument. These Suits possess a delightfully youthful swing.

Tlio meeting of the Rotary C'Juh was ? very largely attended. some seventy- 1 Ii v members being present, II* wast prosit!' d over by President Hare.Natui j roiihidi-rrlblr routine business was! transacted, followed by a stirring ad dress which was made by ('apt. 0. H. Lee. 1". s. Army Kn.cineers Corps. Capt. Lee's address was to have been on the subject of fori iflca< ions in war fare. but lie diverted to the needs for intelligent army organization, and ? s peeiallv referred to the bill now pen 1 inir before Congress. which he stated had the endorsement of the general; staff and which contemplated a tluvr* ? ?s-j??lil> intelligent and effective army | organization. In reply to questions by j members of the Club. ('apt. Lee went j into 'he details .of the army bill all considerable length. stating that it j contemplated the recruiting of the I regular army to its full strength of 1 L'Tx.Ooo men. The inking over and absorption into 'he reguiar army' of the national guards of the various j -ia'i's. and in addition thereto a mili tary census nf the Cnited Suites, tak-i ing into a count all men lit for niili-i iary serviee between the years of | nineteen and twenty-five. From litis i number a first draft of *>00,00n men is] * o be made, and as soon as this draft j ran be thoroughly organized and train ed, other drafts in units of "? 00,00ft were contemplated, making a total J number of .about 2,000.000 tmn. j Capt. I.e.- stated thai the bill based upon the principle that every' citizen owed to his country a service, .??ml those who might best be in the position to pay that service would first be called upon, lie recited some ii! the failures and mistakes of volun teer armies, and paid armies, and J pointed out the very grave dangers that might come to this country should (ierntany defeat the allies or be in n position in dictate peace to ihem. l?i that event he said we might be com pelled to meet Germany single hand ed. and abundant preparation was necessary. Cap?. Lee's argument and address so clearly and comprehen sively staled the matter at issue, that that, it apparently left little opportun iy for contrary discussion. At the conclusion of his address a motion was made and earned unani mously by a rising vote, endorsing the j principle of lite general staff army bill, and instructing the President of the Club as above stated to telegraph! all West Virginia Senators and Con | gressmen asking them to support the measure.
