What Smart Women
Are Wearing This
Summer Season
By HEDDA HOYT.
(Fashion Editor Of United Press.) '
New York, June 30.4 Short jpequet.
tes of colored velvet embroidered in
all-over stitchery with collar and
front facing of white fur are being
frocks at the nearby resorts.
Heavy Oriental jewelry with semi-
precious stones is sponsored by the
fashionables, who prefer to turn from
precious jewels to semi-precious onea,
rather than to cheap imitations of
precious stones. Painted wooden
beads are the only inexpensive aoces-
sories worn by better groomed women.
Red and black Chinese lacquer pend-
ants on colored cords are popular as
necklaces. Oriental Jewelry which
combines lapis, turmaline, jade, car-
nelian and amber in exquisite Oriental
settings is in demand.
' Crystal necklaces, bracelets and
earrings are favored for dressy wear
and huge pearls combined with
emerald colored stones are worn by
the debutantes for evening occasions.
Slave bracelets are already going out
of style, although link bracelets set
with semi-precious stones are still
popular, such as huge silver links
combined with jade or carnelian
beads. Huge button earrings with
small pendant drops are worn by ma-
trons who have not harkened to the
How Often Do You
Use Your Telephone?
Do you use your residence telephone often enough to war-
rant the expense of a "one-party-line?" Consider the
• number of hours that your line is not In use, and you
will probably conclude that a “elective-ringing' tele-
phone would bundle your traffic just as well and at a
reduced expense.
By sharing your line with another subscriber you not
only save money, but you enable the Telephone Comr
pany to add more telephones to the exchange —and thus
make your telephone more valuable. For the value of
your telephone increases in proportion to the number of
' other telephones you can be connected with.
In other cities where "selective-ringing" service is of-
fered, residence subscribers find that this service sat-
isfactorily meets their needs. •

pices of the Texas Farm Bureau and

ton county in Texas is expected to

banner cotton county of Texas," was

Spanish shawls are worn Invariably
for evening wear. Many women In-
clude as many as three in their sum-
mer wardrobe. These need not be em-
broidered to be stylish this season as •
often they are just huge squares of -
vivid silk crepe bordered In deep
fringe of self or contrasting color. A
popular matron appeared In one of
the hotel hallrooms last week In a
lavender silk shawl bordered with a
wide powder blue fringe. Since her
shawl was unembroidered. It could
easily have been made at home.
White kid hats and vivid Hizzard
akin hats are worn for sports wear
at Atlantic City. White kid and black
suede la a favorite hat combination.
Lizzard skin la often combined with
i ribbon, where either the crown or the
brim la completely formed of ribbon.
At the Belmont races one found the
fashionables wearing simple suits and
topcoats of three-quarter length. The
latter are generally huge checked
materials or blanket effects and wrap
tightly about the figure. High colors
'are not worn as generally as one
might suspect, although the wood
tones of previous seasons are not con-
sidered popular for sports wear. Black
and white la perhaps the favorite
combination. Soft Lanvin greens, dull
bennas and laid effects are popular.
Tailored hate set the vogue In mil-
linery thia season. The small hat with
ribbon trim is worn for almost every
occasion. Flower trims are not being
used at all at present. Brown, black,
and white seem to be the favorite hat

Mr. Stewart is a member of the

Pastor’s association of McKinney.
Aside from his work as pastor of
the church Dr. Yates has been a val-
uable asset to MeKinney as a elti-

not only for the salvation of tha lost
but in many worthy causes. In him
the city felt a pride as a speaker of
unusual ability and he was frequent-
ly called upon to represent the city
and to be the chief speaker on aus-
picious occasions in McKinney.
In leaving he voiced his apprecla-
tion of the friendship of McKinney
and said he was leaving with only
the kindest and sweetest thoughts of
the citizenship.

Radio Experts
Since July, 1922, when the Maud, Am-
undsen's exploration ship, made its dash
northward and became frozen in the ice
in latitude 78° north, longitude 165° west,
the ship’s radio has been sending out two
messages a day. There messages have
been received by nearly all stations in
Europe, across the North Pole, but they
have not been received in Alaska, the
United States or Canada.
MacMillan’s ship, the Bowdoin, now
frozen in at Refuge Harbor, latitude
78.30 north, longitude 7230 west, has
found that the only station with which
it can communicate regularly is that of
Jack Barnsley, station 9BP, of Prince
Rupert, B. C., and since Sept. 7, 1923, all
press stories from the Bowdoin and all
messages to and from it have been
handled through Barnsley. Other sta-
tions have heard WNP (the Bowdoin)
