throughout the city Sunday. Protest
aut. Catholic and Unitarian congrega-
wish to discard this half worn-or r It
is the black satin dress of the char-
meuse description which held and re-
tains our best affections, and few
gowns are more becoming than this,
so that the individual studies carefully
the lines of her figure and bestows
much attentkm on her neckgear. To
some the turn-down collar is becom-
ing; on others, it is fatal; and the
very thin neck, or the very old neck
la better for the influence of a band of
black velvet held with a diamond
brooch. Then, again, people with very
long necks will invariably find they
look better under the influence of a
transparent collarband fitting tightly
Under the chin. Perfectly plain net Is
much used for these bands, and with a
narrow hem of black satin they obtain
most general recognition. The addi-
tion of a pearl necklet, of two, or even
three strings, on the black satin dress
with the transparent top, is very valu-
able. and, added to a broad-brimmed
hat with a real lace veil, well adjusted,
completes a costume hard to beat.
Patent leather shoes have yielded
place to those of antelope, and lace
stockings have been entirely super
seded by the very thinnest gauze
silk.
There ir nothing very new In the
land of parasols, and we appear to find
most satisfaction from those of plain
silk. Elaborations, however, show-
spotted net bound with velvet or satin,
and we have recognized that the han-
dle made of beads is by no means com-
fortable to hold.
Which reminds me there are some
pretty new models in handbags, leath-
er being for the moment discarded in
favor of watered silk, tasseled and
held by a frame of gold. These look
very well in black with a gold mono-
gram in the left-hand corner. Velvet,
too. is used for these handbags, but
watered silk is undoubtedly more at-
tractive, and antelope skin Is patron-
ized also for this purpose.
Black satin is to be the material for
bathing dresses, the trimming to re-
main strictly black, silken braid being
chosen for choice, while the belt is tc
be of patent leather, and thin black
stockings are to be worn, and the
cap to be also of black. A variation of
this scheme Includes blue and white-
striped stockings and a £lue and
white cap. but black, entirely black, Is
really the most chic. As a more eco-
nomical suggestion, violet bunting
may be used. An excellent trimming
can be formed of black or black and
white cross stitch, worked either in
cotton or silk, the rule of the black
patent leather belt still being strictly
observed. The shape of the bathing
dress follows the lines of the shape of
other dresses as nearly as it dare, the
skirts being narrow and the sleeves
without fulness on the top. However,
the reticent will consider the charms
of the kilted skirt which bears a lim-
ited amount of stuff about the waist,
and this can be well achieved by the
checked toile which come to us from
Paris. Then, again, we always have
the fascinations of red and pink bath-
ing dresses to consider.
Pink Is amongst the few colors we
are adopting enthusiastically this sea-
son. Pink of the palest Shantung and
tussore makes charming coats and
skirts, and may also be highly com-
mended for the tunic form of dress.but
even the best laid pinks of man and
maid go all astray in the strong sun-
light. and It must be v .ltten that it is
not avisable to put your faith in pinks.
Very novel and desirable at that is
an all-in-one-piece dress made of pale
coral-tinted crepe cotton, with the hem
and belt and front of the slightly full
bodice worked In a conventional de-
vice with . white opalescent beads.
There was no other trimming save a
small lace yoke, and the costume was
well crowned with a leghorn hat
bearing a huge black velvet bow.
Concerning the Half
Holidays
^he summer has been hot and enervating—more trying than in
years past. Here at Kerr s the half holidays have helped.
Whether or no this store’s machine would have maintained its high
state of efficiency hut for the rest and recreation afforded by the
half days is a debatable question in the management of some stores.
At Kerr’s it is not. We know the holidays have improved our
service—very likely you knOu) it too—by the smiling faces and
the livelier attention that greet you on entering here. Of one thing
we are sure—these holidays have demonstrated to every employee
that a spirit of kindness, consideration and fairnes's dominates the
management of Kerr ’s. It therefore strikes a responsive chord
congealing the loyalty of our helpers into a concrete and tangible
thing that is felt in the genuine enthusiasm with which every one
approaches and accomplishes his or her u)orh.
Enthusiasm! What a potential force it is! Nothing good or
great is established without it. Enthusiasm has made Kerr’s what
it is—the best store in Oklahoma!

HILL’S BUSINESS COLLEGE
The President of this college has
just returned from the Gregg Short-
: hand Convention, at Chicago. While ,
j there lie met Fred H. Uurtler, the win- j
1 ner of the Miner Medal at \\ ashington,
D. C., in March, 1310. This contest
was open to all systems of shorthand
and to all writers in the world. It .is
worthy of note that the first, second
and third places were won by Gregg
writers over all other contestants.
While in Chicago we were on a com-
i mittee to judge the contest for a hand-
some silver cup and $.‘>0.00 in gold,
'awarded by Mr. Gregg, to the person
who had not been writing Gregg short-
hand more than 10 years. This was
won by Charles L. Swem, a young
man hut 17 years of age. He made a
record of 202 words a minute on dif-
ficult court matter. This matter was
compiled by Prof. Kimball, of New
York City, one of the best known Pit-
man w riters and authors in the United
States.
Have Basis for Color Scheme.
A plan which results, not only in
economy in the wardrobe, but a cer-
tain distinction as well, is that of ta-
king a single color scheme of the
whole wardrobe. This Is accomplished
most frequently with black, by per-
sons in mourning, but there are few
others who care to have the most of
their costumes plain black. Gray Is
good, if It Is becoming. Black and
white, separate and In combination,
Is quite delightful. Brown, if It Is a
favorite color, gives satisfying results.
And in this color you have chosen,
have your petticoats, parasols, stock-
ings. gloves, feather boas, scarfs, the
straw of your hats, the groundwork
of your foulards, blouse slips, and a
hundred and one other Items of the
wardrobe. In this way many clever
and new combinations may be pro-
duced from a limited supply.
On this trip the President visited a
number of the largest schools in the
United States, found that the Gragg
system xvas used in the majority of
them, and in all cases where it was
used they found it superior to any
other system they had e\*r taught.
I it is conceded by all that the Gregg
' is the leading system of the world.
It is used now in three times as many
I schools as any other system, and in
as many as all other systems com-
bined.
The President of HILL'S BUSINESS
! COLLEGE secured a number of new
! ideas which he will incorporate in his
school this winter thus increasing its
| efficiency twenty-five per cent. HIlL'S
! BUSINESS COLLEGE is determined
to keep its school equal to the best
in tlie country, and ahead of any in the
Southwest.

This season the yoke and collar
must match. The yoke must extend
round the hark If it is to appear 1n
front, and the cuffs or undersieeves
must match tbe collar or the collariess
yoke.
There Is no such thing in the dress
maker s art as an excuse for wearing
a net gulinpe, for Instance, with Irish
lace cuffs.
This may be made possible by the
setting In of Irish lace flowers upon
the act of the yoke or by the use of
a small subyoke to match the cuffs.
