Since calico has become fuslilonalile
milliners have launched a few late
summer huts, made of various cotton
materials -and labeled "calico hats,"
that reflect this wartime fad. If we
are destined to have to come to calico
In our millinery It 18 a consolation to
know that It can be made into such
protty hendwear as that shown at the
bottom of the picture above. We must
bo economical It Is tho proper war
time pose, and therefore Miss 'Fifth
.Avenue promenades In a calico frock,
although she may bo discovered to
have It trimmed with a little real and
costly lace. This is inconsistent but
the pose Is pretty onywuy and tho ex
ample set worth while.
The hat nt tho lower v right is a
genuine calico affair the calico the
old, familiar Indigo blue with a white
polka dot. The brim covering Is cut
In a square ond'edged with rick-rack
braid. The four corners of the square
are turned up over the upper brim
and tacked against the crown. AWw
and white silk cord Is tied about the
crown and terminates at the front in
n bow and ends. Little silk tassels
finish the ends. . The hat at the left
is made of tine printed cotton crepe
In light pink and white. . Instead of
points there are square tabs turned
buck over the brim. This brim cov
ering is edged with narrow white silk
.fringe and a white Bilk cord and tas
sels provide the trimming. The cord
I.i tied in a bow at the front and
back. v . 1
Plaid ginghams have mado some of
the prettiest bats classed In the calico
group. :.Tlieyjire trimmed with scarfs
'tif white f organdie and usually 'made
over plain- Bailor shapes. The calico
hat was the lust word In midsummer
millinery and wus Immediately fol
lowed by late-summer and detnt-seusnn
hats of gorgotte crepe, satin and taf
feta silk. Two of the crepe bats arc
shown at the top of tho group. At the
left Is a pretty white model with odd
ornaments of colored satUi and em
broidery silk, end Ht the right a deep,
gold-colored hot. This Js fuced wllh

black French knots and. small' figures
embroidered In black, while and dark

Your Government Say
r
Gift for 6oldlers.
Waterproof match safes for soldiers
ore sold for 04 cents, in silver finish.
They would, of course, be of uso to
a man in uniform khaki, or blue
and now the summer Is here, white.
Not only would they give admirable
service If a U-boat happened to come
along nt an unpropltlous moment, for
the army or navy man, while swim
ming ito shord could light a cheering
cigarette on tho crest of a wave, but
they would serve a good office st other
times, when the soldier is necessa
rily often exposed to rainy weather.

on some of . the new neckwear and
blouses. One edge of It gathered, and

HUNTERS GET S AGEHENS.
' Just to' have one last shot at the
ever elusive ' sage hen, before going
to his training camp at Eugene, L. L.
Snodgrass, with Al Andrews and Nate
Zweifel, made a start for the hunting
grounds at Medical Springs long be
fore sunrise yesterday morning with
several good dogs with them, and re
turned before noon, each having bag
ged tho limit, of five birds.
"Tho first dog up on the high rocky
ground, stood and pointed, and we had
to hurry to get out our guns and put
them in action. We got five birds at
that ono place," said Mr. Andrews.
.' ''Each of us returned to the city
with the limit.
""Grouse will be ripe on the 15th of
the month, and I hope no one of my.
friends will try a shot at them before
that date, as it will cost them a lot
of money if they do, as the game war
dens of this state are very particular
in these mutters. ChinottPheasant
season opens tho first of October, and
there are thousands of these beautiful
game birds in all of the. Eastern Ore
gon stubblcficlds, right, today1, as we
scared up many of them while out
yesterday," said Mr. Andrews.
