There are now in the Bitter Root valley

E@etizens of Idaho. Although ordered from
Gen. Sl.eridan's headquarters TO be treated
\ ss hostiles. they were permitted to escape
from the 10 Lo Pass and encamp in the
\ Bitter Root valley. These l~lostiles will soon
\ sttempt to pass through other portions OF
1 Montana. They are public enemies whom
it is our duty as good citizens to meet and
Etsht until they surrender. ITO compromise
with them is cowardice. and the honor of

The caps worn by old ladies nowadays are
the most tasteful found in books of the
costumes OF the last hundred years. For the
morning they are made of clear white
muslin, with full mob crown, a ruche of
plated muslin or of lace, and bow of soft
violent or OF pale blue ribbon in front and
oack- They are so simple that they are
easily made and laundried, their only
foundation being bit of cap-wire
passed around the head. For more
dressy, afternoon wear, white net in
figures or else plain Lyons tulle is used.
with tulle ruches for trimming The crown
is not as full as in muslin caps and there
are wide strings of tulle, with the ends
pointed and the edges finished with the mar
row ruche. These strings are worn hanging;
only very old ladies now use strings 10 tie
under the chin For full dress occasions the
cap is formed of the fine real lace barbes and
pointed coiffure pieces that are imported in
round point applique and Valenciennes. and
are richly trimmed with lace and perhaps a
few flowers. The dreary black lace caps worn
hundred years ago and their kindred
head-dresses are happily banished, or
at most are worn only by those who
are not courageous enough to wear their
own natural gray hair, but resort instead to
wigs, false fronts and hair-dyes. Indeed,
caps are no longer considered the speciality
OF old ladies'; for while the youngest
matrons find them becoming. and. in fact.
they often form part of the brides outfit.
they are not worn at all by many old ladies
who have abundant gray hair, or by those
who can afford to bny the gray switches that
cost from forty to seventy-five dollars
