As every hostess knows, tne cooling beverage is the most important part of the refreshments these hot summer days and nights, the drinks mean plenty of ice, which reminds us that at Petersen-Harned-Von Maur's we saw some new rubber trays for electric refrigerators, that have small compartments for the ice cubes. These will be Just th thing to use in narrow and small glasses. The same trays come with larger cube compartments also and they are in standard size for the principal makes of refrigerators. We are reminded that the ice comes out "colder and larger" when these rubber trays are used since it Is not necessary to run hot water over them to loosen the cubes. At Parker's they were busy to day selecting models from their new fall fashions to display tomorrow at the, style show which the store Is to put on as a feature of the evening's entertainment at the Davenport grocers' and butchers' picnic at the Mississippi Valley fair grounds.

The new fall fash-Ion trend, reflecting the Empress Eugenie influence principally, will be illustrated in dresses, fur coats, and hats, all worn by models from the store. Abrahams' are featuring a pre- August fur sale this week, which will continue thru next month. A glance at the fur coats reveals that, there is a decided change in line this year and a study of the price tags shows that they are selling for less this fall than they have for a good many years. The coats are longer, of course, and the normal waistline is In evidence. Emphasis Is placed on the cut of the garment above the waist, in the line of the shoulder and sleeves, and with special treatment near the elbow.

Black furs seems particularly good, handsome models being shown in Hudson and Alaskan seal, Russian Caracul, Persian lamb and Russian pony. Apparently this is the time to buy a fur coat, for as the fur rier points out prices cannot be any lower or the trappers will give up their occupation for something more remunerative.

"Tangle-Eye," police say, nomi nates himself and declares himself cuanimoualy elected to the office of city greeter. His welcome Is especially warm if he finds a broth- possessed of a few dollars.

Monday afternoon George Thomas of Kewanee, received the glad hand from "Tangle-Eye" In a downtown park. Lewis suggested that they have a few drinks just to cement friendly relations and-Thomas accompanied him, incidentally paying for the willow juice which they consumed In a shack adjacent to the river. When the silly soup started working and the boys set out arm and arm for the city again, Thomas suddenly developed a craving for fish. He and his new friend came upon a fisherman who displayed a big catfish. "How much for the fish?" Thorn- "Don't want to sell It," the fisherman replied, "How about a buck? I's hungry for fteh," Thomas declared.

The fisherman yielded the catfish, tuffed the buck In his pocket after Thomas took it out of the watch pocket of his trousers. Picking up the fish, Thomas and Lewis resumed their leisurely wilk toward the city. Without giving Thomas any notice of his intentions, "Tangle-Eye" grabbed with both hands. One slipped into Thomas' watch pocket and came out with six dollars; the other had a strangle-hold on the catfish Elated with the success of his latest venture, Lewis galloped and set out after him, but the city greeter was too fleet of foot and eluded the visiting brother whose peace of mind was considerably upset by, reason of the liquor he consumed and because he lost his and his Thomas complained to Pollcem i Ceurvorst and Schroeder about the unkind manner In which he had ivm treated. He described the man who stole his flHh and hU cash, stressing the point that one of the stranger's, 'headlights was allghtly olf center.

The influence of this revival of the Eugenie mode is felt in all styles, Mr. Scharff reports. It is seen in the small hat3, with derbylike brim and crowns, tilted down over the right eye and made even more piquant by a trailing ostrich plume. It is seen In the dresses, slightly fitted in the bodice, with flat, higher-to-the-throat necklines, and skirts cut on the bias. Manufacturers are of course modifying the theme in many instances to, suit the different figures.

Mr. Scharff also reports that clothing prices are from 20 to 25 per cent lower this fall. And speaking of the Empress Eu genie hats, Hills Drygoods Co. has just received a line of sample hats carrying out this theme and has placed them on display in the millinery department on the third floor.
