Most Unusual Savings in Desirable

—As we mentioned in our opening announcement, this White
Event is an occassion to save that every woman should take

that as long as cotton stays around 20c a pound, that there
will be no possibility of lower priced cotton goods, and they
are buying accordingly. Such values as these give ample
evidence why.

ELDER MILHOLLAND HELD THE
ATTENTION OF HIS AUDITOR’S
WITH HIS WORDS.
Elder Milholland preached one of the
best sermons he has delivered in the
revival meeting in the Church of
Christ on last evening. For one hour
those present listened to him as he de-
scribed that great institution that cost
the life of our Savior. Many beauti-
ful illustrations were used to show the
resemblance between the spiritual
body of Christ and our physical bod-
ies. He showed the sinner how he
could get into that spiritual body and
be saved from his sins.
The members of the church were
urged to be faithful, that they might
become strong members, and that the
Lord might use them for great things
in His cause.
You are urged to attend these ser-
vices, which begin at 10 a. m. and 8
p. m. —Contributed.

THE EDITOR’S REWARD.
An editor died and slowly wended
his way to where he supposed a warm
reception awaited him.
The devil met him and said:
“For many years thou hast borne
the blame for the bad spelling that
the printer had gotten off in the pa-
per. The paper has gone out for one
dollar, and alas! the dollar has failed
to come in. The printer bedeviled thee
for wages when thou hasn’t a farther-
ing thy name.
“People take the paper without pay-
ing for it and curse thee for not get-
ting out a better sheet. Thou hast
been called a dead beat by the rail-
road conductors when thou hast shown
thy annual pass to their envious gaze.
All these wrongs thou hast borne in
silence. Thou shalt not enter here.”
And as the editor turns and walks
away, Satan mutters, “Heaven is his
home, and besides if I let him in here
he would have been dunning his de-
linquent subscribers and thus creat-
ing discord in my kingdom.”—-Ex.

BY MARGARET MASON
(Written for United Press)
Maya, Oh Maya, my Indian maid,
You put all the Paris belle quite in
the shade;
Your colorful blanket so gaudy and
rich,
They’ve taken for mantles, skirts,
linings and sich;
And other new fashions now flicker
and fade
Before the gay garments by Indian
made.
New York, April 24.—And now
Fashion has put the Indian sign on
us!
Seems sort of like taking candy
from a child to take our fashions
from the Indians when about all the
poor things have to their backs is a
blanjcet and a string of beads.
But oh, these gorgeous hued blan-
kets that the Maya Indians weave in
Guatemala are much too beautiful to
be wasted on the primitive ^fastnesses
of Central America.
The possibilities cf an ordinary
blanket seem exhausted after you
have used it as covering for body,
bed or horse. The possibilities of the
Maya blankets, loosely woven of pure
wool and dyed in vivid and divers
stripes are almost limitless.
The Mayas know how to make ’em
but the fashion experts know how to
use ’em, as is evidenced by a recent
showing of Maya models in a famous
New York and Philadelphia depart-
ment store.
Loose wraps of oyster white and
bisque shantung are lined throughout
with the gorgeous Maya blankets.
Beach and summer suits of white,
grey and ecru silk have vivid Maya
blanket touches on collar, cuffs, pock-
ets and lapels. Sport skirts entirely
evolved from Maya blankets, with
their rainbow bars of color, make you
long to be behind the bars.
These blankets as well as the em-
broiders which resemble the primitive
embroideries of the Russian peasants
are all made by the Mayas on hand
looms arid because the looms are very
narrow the blankets are all made in
half widths with a central seam.
Next to the blankets as attractive
trimming touches the embroideries
find place and are used on costumes in
the same manner as collars, cuffs and
pockets. TK§ embroiders also make
stunning table and cushion covers and
the bands of embroidery are used ef-
fectively as borders on parasols, hat
trimmings, hand bags and blouse
adornments.
Silken scarfs, soft of weave and
color, another product of the Maya,
hand looms, are fashioned into stun-
ning blouses, girdles and are also
used in their natural state to be knot-
ted around fair shoulders or hat
crowns.
Not all of the Maya blankets, scarfs
and embroideries are in riotous color-
ings either. These wonderful abori-
gines of Central America have shown
themselves most considerate of the
fashionable wants of 1917 American
matrons and bachelor maids of years
of discretion and so they have almost
as great an output of embroideries
done entirely in black and white or
grey and white, blankets striped in
the same neutral monotones and
scarfs woven in plaids and stripes of
the same. Therefore every one can
be smart and all Mayed up and still
cling to her color scheme of life.
All the blankets, scarfs and large
pieces of embroidery shown on the
Maya models are original pieces
brought direct from the Indian tribes
of Guatemala hut the most of the
embroidery bandings are modern
Manhattan Manipulations of Maya
methods, designs and colorings.
You can buy ribbons at the ribbon
counter and embroidery bandings at
the trimming counter that will fur-
bish up your last summer suit to the
last word in modish Mayaism.
Silks by the yard in Maya designs
and colorings are also being manufac-
tured and stockings embroidered in
Indian symbols are by no means at
the foot of the Maya list of fashion-
able fads. The ribbons and embroid-
ered bands manufactured here are
really beautiful and almost defy de-
tection when placed side by side with
Indian originals.
But if you want a blanket touch,
much as I hate to be a wet blanket I
am constrained to tell you that you’ll
have to go to Guatemala for it. Or
rather the house that is making Maya
specialities will have to import one
for you. It strikes me it would he al-
most as simple to import a Maya in-
stead. Think haw handy it would be
to have a little Maya in your hoine
busily weaving your blankets for you
while you wait.
The main point is that we have to
be good Indians this season. At pres-
ent a Maya costume is more swagger
than a Poiret model, a Maya bonnet
than a Georgette chapeau. At the be-
ginning of the war Paris trembled lest
New York usurp her laurels as the
fashion center of the world. Who
could have dreamed that her mantle
of fashionable greatness would have
descended on Guatemala in Central
America instead and in descending
turn into an Indian blanket.

A FIRE LAST NIGHT
ALEXANDER HOTEL
FLAMES WERE ARRESTED BE-
FORE ANY HARM WAS DONE
BUT CAUSED A SCARE.
An alarm of fire was turned in last
night about 10 o’clock. The blaze was
in the Alexander hotel, and when the
people over the city heard where it
was, and the high wind prevalent was
taken thought of, they shudddered,
wondering what would happen if the
flames should get the upper hand of
the firemen.
The fire was located in the kitchen
of the hotel and was soon out. Many
sighs of relief went up when it was
learned that it was a trivial affair.
Had it gotten a good start, with the
wind in the southeast, there is no tell-
ing where the conflagration would
have stopped, and more than one per-
son thought of Paris and what she
went through.
We, everyone of us cannot be too
careful with fire these blustery days
and night, and we should need no
state fire marshall to tell us to be
careful with fire. With our shingle
roofs and so many wooden dwellings
over the city, a fire would have a veri-
table carnival, if it had the wind to
aid it.
