MODERN DRESS REVELS IN i PLAITS, TUCKS AND TIERS <i

jpLALTINOS here and plaltlngs •T there, plaltlngs everywhere! What If we have Just passed through a season of plaiting to the right of us, plaiting to the left of us, this method of trimming our frocks has lost Its fascination for ns, net a whit. The two stylish dresses herewith portrayed are reasons why plaiting continues to gain prestige with those who hare an eye for art and grace In dress. Crepe-satin Is the medium eeloeted for each of these modish gowns. In the model to the right the ptultlngs are arranged In tiers, and this Is considered par excellence In dress designing. Of course, the stralghtllno effect must he maintained to conform to fashion’s dictates and wren when stylists use circular or bias ruffles for the new tiered skirts they manage to preserve the slender silhouette. A feature of the afore-mentioned frock to the left Is the little round yoke and sleevelets of white satin, hand-smocked In an effective manner. One hears considerable in regard to smocking as a decorative feature this season.

Of elegant mode for the matron 1* the embroidered and beplaited frock to the left. The designing of th« front of this handsome crepe-satli mode Is a repetition of the pl&ltef panels and embroidery strip represented In the picture. Tho long tabs which supply length to the sleeves, add dignity to this costume, and there Is a mark of distinction in the cut Jet eabochons which dnsp the narrow girdle at the waistline. Now that we are on tho subject of plaiting It might be well to tell of th« new long plaited sleeves which hare come Into fashion. There ore several new ideas ranging from the flowing sleeve to the banded In at the wrlat style. One might take a eoe from this new' vogue, and lengthen sleeve* which are too short, according to tho new vogue trend.

Only an Interlude

By ELLA SAUNDERS *•'-3, Western Newspaper Union.) i JOHN, dear!” ^ ’•Winnie?” “My sister Molly’s coming home tomorrinv fur her holiday. She's ever so much prettier—and younger—than 1 am." ‘‘As If that would matter!” “John, I know you'll fall in love with her." ”1 hope to like her, for your sake, Winnie." Winnie Comfltt sighed. She knew 1 she could not hold her own in looks or attractions against her sister Molly, with 1 r young freshness and city ways. Molly was like a dancing fairy, a sunbeam How could John help but love her? John was n young lawyer who had lately come to Prescott to open a practice there. Winnie lived alone in the little house at the end of the street. Her mother had died four years before. Winnie had elected to remain, while Molly went to the city. Molly was doing well. She was only twentythree, six years younger than Winnie. Molly arrived the next afternoon with three suitcases, and Winnie watched her sister and John with a bitterness that Increased ns she saw how Instantly John was attracted by the girl’s charm and freshness. She grew more bitter as she prepared the supper and heard them laughing together on the porch. That ring in John’s voice—that ring that had been in his voice when they two had tirst met. It had long since gone out of It. She left them largely alone that evening, and during the two weeks of Molly’s stay John contrived to come to the house every day. At first shamefaced, afterward he tacitly acknowledged the situation. And there came one bitter evening when Winnie, looking through the window, saw John with his arm around her slater’s waist and their heads very close together. Molly went away the next day. As she was leaving Winnie said: "Molly, you haven’t told me something.” "What, about John?” Molly laughed In her irresponsible way. "Oh, that wag Just a summer flirtation, Winnie. Isn't he engaged to you?” Winnie could not answer her for very shame. She watched Molly drive away. And John came no more to the little house. Days ran into weeks. Sometimes Winnie met him In the street, and he would raise his hat, while he colored with shame. The weeks ran on. About two months after Molly had gone Winnie heard John's familiar tap at the door owe night. John stood outside. “Come in, John,” said Winnie. In the old manner. She took his hat and coat and made him sit down In the chair he always occupied. “Well, John?” she asked: “Winnie,” he said hoarsely, “you know why I haven’t been here for so long? I’ve been too ashamed.” “Why, that’s all right, John," said Winnie with assumed brightness. “That couldn't be helped.” "I’ve been a cad, Winnie. But 1 can’t let things go on this way. I came to ask you if we couldn't be friends Just the same.” "Why, of course, John. We’d have to be, anyway, wouldn’t we?” “Have to be?” "Aren’t you going to marry Molly?” "Winnie, hasn’t she told you?” “Nothing about you, John.” "You thought we were engaged?” He laughed bitterly. "She—she made a fool of me, Winnie. On the last evening, Just after I’d kissed her, she told me she had only been playing with me to spite you, and that when she married she’d get some one more worth while than a country’ lawyer. I thought you knew.” "I didn’t know, and I think she's behaved abominably,” said Winnie, unable to restrain the tears that streamed down her cheeks. “Winnie”—his voice was hoarse— "you know it was a sort of madness while it lasted, and 1 awoke too late to realize that I’d lost the love of the only woman who had meant anything to me. But I want your friendship, Winnie. May I have that?” And somehow she found herself soothing him like u mother, and comforting him. Men were like that. She knew that her love was deeper than any transient passion. There might he another Molly in their lives some day. But Molly herself had been but an Interlude.

Liked It Fried. A well-known peer was staying In the country house of a new-rich woman who spoke with a lively Cockney accent. They met early one morning in the grounds. "I hope you don’t mind waiting for breakfast,” said the hostess in Her own lingo. "Oh,” answered the peer, “I think that fried whiting is a Jolly good thing."

Race of Lobsters. “Scientists,” announced Cuthhert, “after making a series of careful tests, have figured that a lobster can travel a mile a day. Some lobsters, of course, are faster than others.” • "I take it, then,” said Hoffy, "that they lime laid out race courses.” “Practically so." "To me that offers an attractive betting proposition. I think I’d be good at picking lobsters.”

HOW THE NATION IS PHOTECTEB FROM SERIOUS DISASTER City Without a Reserve Water Supply Against Destruction by Fire Likened by Bankers’ Committee to Business Situation Without Federal Reserve System.

GETTING THE IDEA

A vital element in everybody’s prosperity Is that mysterious sounding "something or other” called bnnk reserve, says the Committee on Public Education of the American Bankers Association, adding: “It Isn’t an easy matter to make simple and Interesting, but its Importance to every man, woman and child In the country makes the effort worth while." The Committee continues: Money on deposit must always be ready for depositors when they desire it. Banks must also be ready to loan iwney, when needed, to their customers, or business would be hampered. In other words, prosperity depends largely on the ability of the banks to meet these demands—that Is, depends on the “bank reserves." The problem of handling reserves has been difficult The Federal Reserve System has met the problem more satisfactorily than any other method ever tried in this country.

The Great Solution Our banks are managed by officers and directors, elected by their own stockholders. They are Interested In helping the town to grow and prosper. But Just as a local telephone siatlon Is valuable to the Interchange of thought because It belongs to a system whose wires reach to all parts of the nation, so the local bank Is valuable to the interchange of bust ness because of Us connections w’lth other banks In the United States, finding lt\ strength and Its usefulness in being part of a system. For many years a plan was sought whereby our thousands of separate and Independent banks could get together and cooperate for the Improve ment of onr banking methods, and for mutual protection in emergencies, both for themselves and customers. We had periodical money panics, dangerously disturbing to business, and chargeable, in large part, to defects In our banking and currency system. There was no central bank from which the Individual banks could get assistance In time of trouble. Panto conditions caused weak banks to fall, and even strong and sound institutions to be Imperilled. Bankers, business men, and leaders In Congress for years made a careful study of banking and finally Congress passed a law providing for the establishment of twelve great Federal Reserve Banks, each designed to serve as a sort of central bank for such banks In Hs allotted territory as might become members of the Federal Reserve System. It retained the American plan of Independent banks doing business under the management of their own directors and officers. About 10,000 banks have become members of the Federal Reserve System. The member banks in each district own the entire stock of the Federal Reserve bank there, and elect twothlrds of the directors. The other directors are appointed by tho Federal Reserve Board at Washington, the Governmental body haring supervision over the Reserve banks, though It does not operate them. Its members are appointed by the President of the United States The Federal Reserve banks hold member banks’ reserves. Formerly

each, bank carried In Its owm vault the cash required by law as a legal reserve ao that it would bo ready to pay depositors on demand. The gold supply of the country was thus scat tered among thousands of Independent

banks.

When Fire Races

This situation may be likened to the old-time water supply In a town Each house had to depend on Its In dividual well, tank, or cistern. Picture such a town attacked by fire. If the water was low In one well, from drought, or excessive use, water would have to bs borrowed from a neighboring well. Suppose the water In that well also was at a low level. Thus the safety of all was sacrificed because no RESERVE water supply was at hand. The fire would become

a conflagration.

Under the Federal Reserve System, we have a series of modern reservoirs, located In various parts of the country, each serving tbe needs of the banks In Its own district In each of these reservoirs credit Is stored up to be supplied to tbe various banks, as

the need arises. Each reservoir te In turn connected with all the others FEDERAL AND GONERVIENI so that when the supply In one be- AUTHORITIES TO LOOK INTO comes low, the others may be tern- WALL STREET DEAL
