some good music next year. The lark i of violins among the pupils, lias here-1 tofore prevented tin organization of an i orchestra, but adult violin players will bo solicited to extend their services to the high school and it is hoped that sevetal outsiders will respond to this invitation. There are several violinists in tiie city, who rarely get a chance to keep up with their violin music, be cause of the fact th.it no orchestra exists in the city. Therefore, any one who will, ate urgently requested to call'Miss (’hosier and their services will he greatfully accepted.

After this, a ‘ Treasure Hunt” was announced. All those desiring to partake in the hunt, were required to ; pay three cents to the Freshman class, , the money to lie devoted toward votes for their royal family. The Junior and , Senior classes were sent out first on the hunt. They read the first sign on the bulletin board, which gave a due to the next hiding place. The trails led them in different directions aii over the high school building and Dick Engle was finally the successful "hunter". But alas. Dick is a basketball boy at 1 in training, and the prize he found was an assortment of candy lollipops, kisses, etc. These he turned over to Mr. Anderson, who in turn distributed them at large in the assembly. Then the Freshman and Sophomore disses took their turn at being turned loose over the entire high school building, and Bob Hite f und the box of candy in this case. But Bob was not in training for athletics and — The affair was quite unique am> different from any Chapel program heretofore. and provided a wealth of entertainment for the high school pupils The program was under the supervision of Miss Jeanette Clark, freshman class guardian.

Meaning the gowns only. The gaiety never is that way. But evening costumes, if we except the wraps and cloaks, which have an inclination to lie bright in color and brighter with beads, are more subdued in tone than their immediate predecessors in evening wear. Just byway of contrast to sports wear, pet haps, which never was more assertive. The gowns which are appearing at evening functions here in the winter colony indicate, if they do not dictate, the modes of next season on the beaches and in the clubs of the nortlt Fer the leisurely sun-chasers who follow the season south and north are jaded of the styles which have been current through the summer, and must b? served with next season's modes while winter runs its course. It may be noted that evening gowns are turning largely to bouffant, the full-skirted and swirling line so be- . Homing to the slim and girlish, whether maid or matron. And the line of skirt, in the main, is irregular. A bouffant taffeta seen in one night chib was of a shade of deep coral, with a fringe of its own material. Then there was a taffeta and net bouffant in gold, a filmy dancing frock, with a cluster of poppies at the waist. An ash blonde wore a black bouffan(, with tier on tier of net. The one touch of color was a girdle of pink ribbons and flowers. An evening wrap of gold georgette, sparkling in contrast to the quiet gown,'was covered with hundreds of opalescent disks. Another, equally gay, was of flame velvet, with shirred collar. Another wrap, almost as bright, was of bright blue velvet and chiffon, made brighter still with beads and pink insets. But ths tones of the gowns proper are soft and quiet and subdued, like the muted pleading music of the cloistered dancing places. o AMANDA, MOATS DIES AT HOSPITAL (CdVTIM En FROM P«GR (IVRI and at 1:30 o’clock at the Methodist church.

OML-Hrl WHIirlEuD “I am a man of 28, and ever since I was a child of 14 I suffered with rehumatism in my arms and knees,” said Mr. Ralph Whitfied, 625 North. Perry Ave., Peoria, 111. "My joints were so stiff that, I could hardly lift myself out of lied in the morning and it took the biggest part of the day to get myself limbered up. The pains were terrible. During all these years I couldn’t find anything to help me and my condition was getting worse all the time, and I didn't know what it was to get a full night's sleep. "An improvement came over my whole system as soon as I started with Konjola. I continued witli several bottles of this medicine and now " I am in perfect health again. The rheumatism is entirely gone. I feel 1 owe it to other sufferers to indorse this surprising medicine.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at Smith, Yager & Falk's drug store and by all the best druggists in aii towns throughout this section. ia mn rai aan mb van G=>a *"tl V"*ll
