clad in a dark green crepe frock.
The only trimmings were a gold
| belt buckle and chps. They were
of unusual beauty. The buckle
was centered with a square cut em
erald, and the clips were ornament
ed in the same manner, only the
stones were smaller. Her slip
pers were of the same material as
the dress. Her gold initialed
pocketbook was of a slightly light
er shade of green.
Another appearing quite chic in
a green crepe was Mrs. Carrie S.
Horton, president of the Illinois

der, were of the same shade of red.
Red earrings and red and brown
bracelets comprised her jewelry.

the color of her dress.
Mrs. Bertha Montgomery never
looked prettier than she did at a
recent mass meeting. Her black
crepe was dotted with white pan
sies. A large white rough straw
hat trimmed with gardenias, cover
ing her soft gray hair, made her
look very stunning. She carried
a white wood beaded pocketbook
and wore a long string of black
wood beads around her neck. Black
and white bracelets showed above
white gloves stitched with black.
White shoes and a black quilted
taffeta coat completed the outfit.
A striking figure was that of
Mrs. E. M. Sneed, when she wore
a daisy printed crepe on a red
background. The daisies were
centered with blue. Fancy de
signed white buttons were held in
place by blue silk grosgrain rib
bons. There was a coquettish blue
ribbon at the neck. Her black baku
hat, with a band of white, was
further trimmed with a narrow
white bandlet encircling it just be

Mrs. Cooper is drilling fifteen
young ladies for a dancing chorus
and these girls will lend their voices
to the big opening and closing song
numbers. The ladies taking the
“end” positions for the delineation
of the laugh-provoking comedy and
buffoonery, are working hard to
make it hard on lovers of good— _
jokes, adroit comedy and topical
songs.
