Afternoon costume in satin and
duvetyn.
One sees and hears of many exag
gerations this fall, but it is not the
well-dressed women who are adopt
ing them. There never was a time
when fashion permitted women to suit
their own individualities in matters of
dress as now. when so much variety is
offered. It is only a question of
1 knowing what ones requirements real
ly are, and then observing proper dis
cretian in making one's selections.
True, it is confusing to be confronted
by the myriads of materials, colors and
designs, each more alluring than the
last, but suitability is the only guide
to successful growing, however hard It
is to resist what looks most tempting
in the shops.
The model sketched is very illustrat
ive of the best of the fashion trend in
dressy frocks this fall. It is smart
without being striking, youthful but
dignified. For it were used biscuit
colored duvetyn and olive-green satin,
so you see it is a cold-weather dress.
The duvetyn makes the plain, long
sleeved blouse and the long, full tunic
while the basque bodice and underskirt
are of green satin.
The blouse fastens in front with a
little scalloped edge, and the neck is

Medford. Or., Sept. 23. With the an

Jacksonville is to be closed, attention
has been called to one of the most
interesting historical landmarks in
southern Oregon. The Helms saloou,
established in 1852, when the first
gold rush started, has been the gather
ing place for prospectors, politicians,
traders and town characters for half
a century.
Although the usual liquor business
was carried on, hundreds of men who
never took & drink were dally callers,
and after the gold rush it was a rt
of social club for the entire Rogue
River valley. The firm name at first
was Helms & Winchon and Ed Helms
received the establishment as a legacy
