Independence and so show that theyi are at the service of the women with/ whbm thy talk. For the same reason; they remove their hats in churches and in the presence of persons of state —to show that, for the time being, they submit their personality to the pleasure of the power that is higher than they are. Of course, the reason why women wear their hats in the same situations is another story. But perhaps women are sure enough of their superiority, ’imiopvmlonco and freedom, anyway, not to need it symbolized. In Rome the slave was bareheaded. When he became a freeman he re- ceived the right to wear a hat—and he donned a liberty cap, which in the ages since then has gone through much use as a symbol of revolt and freedom. The befeathered, overelaborate hat of the woment hardly suggests free- dom. It rather suggests slavishness to fashion, IN STRIPED SATIN Model of striped satin, with jacket of plain taffeta. CHARMING NEW LACE RIBBONS Come in Almost Any Color That May Be Desired, and Are Beautiful and Serviceable. Have you seen the newest gauze ribbons—made to resemble lace, and cobwebby lace at that, edged with satin in the most adorable of colors? The laces are either of white or gold and are perfectly charming. They make most alluring tango and break: fast caps, girdles and sashes. A tangc bag made of this lace, using an eight: inch ribbon, had four widths overcast together and was made in the usual way by gathering the fullness to a round, cardboard covered bottom and drawing up with satin ribbons at the rufled top. Needless to say this frag {le material was used as an outside covering over satin, which matched the border of the ribbon.

FOR COMMISSIONER. DISTRICT NO. 2 I take this method of announcing to the voters of Polk county that I will be a candidate for the office of county commissioner in and from District No. 2 in the primary of 1914. L In making this announcement, I, in a measure at least realize the Im- portance attached to the office; that with the board of county commis- | sioners rests the duty, among oth- ers, of equalizing the valuation of taxable property of the county, and of the construction and maintaining of roads. fTn this connection I de- sire it understood that I believe in equality in taxation, and that all persons, both rich and poor should alike, bear their share of taxation in proportion to the value of prop- erty owned by them. I also believe that better roads | should be built and maintained. If nominated and elected I shall work to this end. MARK S. BOWEN. | SPHEFLLPIPIPIDLIPIPIPDPPD P ;C A.Jones C.T.Clarkg “CRAFTSMAN?
