coloring. Ginghams are woven with
lace stripes, embroidered dots, or perfor-
ated throughout with open eyelet holes.
Silk ginghams come with the lustre and
changeable effects OF highly finished
silks. Fine stripes and checks in tafe-
tas and other summer silks are in great
demand for more elaborate house or at
ternoon dresses. These gowns are also
simply made. The shoulder seam shows
u tendency to increased length. length
wise trimmings OF lace and black velvet
rosettes complete a picturesque gown
OF this kind. Black silk is gaining favor,
and it is a matter OF no little note tc
know what we are buying in these goods.
There are a few simple tests which will
tell the story and can be relied upon:
In testing silk it should be borne in
mind that it will not burn with q blaze
like cotton, but crisps under the infiu-
once OF heat like wool; raveling and test
ing each portion by burning will prove
whether the silk is pure or adulterated.
1t sometimes happens that there is
something in the weave Of the silk that
renders it a poor bargain at the best,
| that will make it draw at the seamsa and
look shiny after a short season OF use.
TO test this, take a sample of silk and
rub it across the cord with the finger
nail and draw and pull it; il the threads
do not start apart with such usage the
weave may be trusted. Old fashioned
t~affetta of an eve warp ia one Of the
best wearing silks. The yy-corded
faille francais is also durable; grosgrain
should always be distrusted. Surah is
not a shiny silk and In the best qualti-
ties is one OF the most durable to wear.
Satlns OF good quality usually Weir we'll.
! Waffle cripon Is the English name for
what is known in the market as gauffre
cripon, a material not unlike waffies,
with deep indentures and raised sur
faces. There Is also the furrowed cri-
pom, which is waved in large irregular
waves giving a MORE effect. This crepon
is often on a background of a. different
color or shade, giving the fashionable
changeable effect. Thus a delicate
black tissue is creped Irregularly over
a sky-blue, cardinal, rose, green, or
white ground. There are a great variety
OF crepes wool and elk mixed, varying
from $50 to "a so per yard.

Notwithstanding the hard times, the
Training Department is in "a Tourist pg
condition. The present enrolment is
fully rs large as the average for last
year, the number Of student teachers
having greatly Increased, while the
quality OF work done IL, on the whole,
the best within the past two years.
This improvement Is probably due to
h excellent attitude Of both teachers
and pupils toward the work IN hand, and
Inc consequent atmosphere of earnest
ness and perseverance, noticed in all the
rooms.
Several changes were made at the be-
ginning Of the present term and others
will follow soon. The 9Th grade b class
was promoted as a who'e to the 9Th
grade regular, while the best students of
t he latter were organized into a special
class, the members of which hope to be
allie to enter LIST year work next Septem-
Der. Until, this term no regular class
work has be en attempted in the after.
noon. Fee ling that the pupils were not
gaining what they should from unaided
home study, Mrs. Shank arranged for af-
ternoon school from 2:15 to 4 for all
grades above the primary. The results
thus far have been quite satisfactory,
especially in the intermediate grades
where the pupils have not yet learned
how to study independently.
A beginning primary class will be or
gained at the middle OF the term, April
8. Only a limited number of children
can be admitted, therefore parents who
wish their children to enter then should
have seats res eryed at once.
The 9Th grade specials are making a
study of The Merchant of Verice, and
expect soon to give a literary program
as the result OF the class work. The
enthusiasm for Shakespeare has extend
ed downward to the 9Th grade, who,
however, are just at present reading
Gulliver's Travels. The 7th grade are
busily at work on The Cricket on the
Hearth, while the 9th recently compile
ted Rip Van Wrinkle.
Arrangements are being made for
Arbor Day exercises to be given by pu-
pills and teachers Of the Training De-
partment. Now that we have water the
pupils have some hope OF the trees
which they set out growing.
Mr.. Burnett, who entered school last
fall but was obliged to be absent during
the winter months, has returned and re-
sumed his professional work.
Miss Watson wal unable to meet her
class for several days last week owing to
throat trouble. Miss Wiley Of the JAN
nary class Of 1896 acted as substitute
during her absence.
The primary pupils miss their little
schoolmate, Archie MCGOWAN, who had
the misfortune to lose his eye a few
weeks ago. G.

II CHAUTAUQUA.

y Many OF our eastern friends are trou-
bled with the idea that the people of
South Dakota have access to nothing in
the nature OF public entertainment or
intellectual development, except posi-
by an occasional wandering minstrel
show, "a second class circus or a political
mass meeting. Their compassion would
be thrown to the winds il they could
suddenly De dropped INTO the midst OF
D OF our Chautauqua assemblies. The
Chautauqua movement has, IN recent
years, cached a stage OF development
that has made 1t one OF the great educa-
tional factors OF the world, and mere IN
South Dakota, On the shores of Lake
Madison, is held annually Lake Madi-
ison Chautauqua assembly, one III the
best knows and most successful in the
country.
The association was organized in the
fall OF 1890, and with characteristic
western enterprise, the grounds were
plated and graded, the necessary build
Ings erected, and the first assembly held
July, 1891, which proved to be a grand
success. This has been followed by an
assembly each year since. each equalinp
or excelling those gone before, until
now the annual session OF the Lake
Madison Chautauqua association has
become n OF the prominent institutions
Of the state. The organization is a cor.
poration with $50 shares OF stock, and
each stakeholder, together with his en-.
tire family, have perpetual free admis.

to the general financial depression, made
more severe by failure OF crops in this
state last season, the idea has become
quite prevalent that there will he

this is an error, for the preparations are

Some of the best talent in the country
has already been secured, such as Bish-

association prepares for the assembly OF
1895, full Of confidence and enthusiasm,

While this was going on Walters was waning

Guard that front door" shouted the sergeant
as soon as two policemen appeared so that TINS
