Why Boys Hate to be washed.
awhile | was in the BARRIERS
chair" said the MN who had just
been there, lit made me think of my
mother"
The listener said that he did not
see any connection between the two
subjects.
well, the recollection came as
the barber was washing my face.
You know that no man washes his
face like barber does for him.
There is something artistic, sOOth-
ing, and, above all, 50 gentle about
the way the barber fools around
your face, and you cannot help
thinking that he has a tender con-
sideratiOn for your feelings. 1t made
me think of my mother because she
washed my face so differently.
II saw my sister washing her boys
face the other day, and she did it
just like mother, SO [ think it ia a
trait transmitted in the female line
from countless generations. First
she got rag and wet it and then ap-
piled II perfectly superhuOus amount
of soap. Having caught the boy,
she pinned him fl 'mlv between her
knees, took a half Nelson around
! his neck with her left arm and then
laid on the rag. The process was
something like scrubbiUg a floor.
The rag was pushed crosswise, up
and down, zigzag and in circles. She
seemed to think that his face was a
plain surface, and all protuberances
were ignored.
when the soap had been 5uffi ci
emily rubbed in, the rag was rinsed
and his face was dried, the motion
being exactly the same as the cleans
ing. Duling the entire OneratiOn the
boy fought and howled, and when
released ran away in rage. My
sister did not express any surprise or
remOrse, and answered my inquir-
ing look with the remark that boys
ulw lyS hate to he washed.
Then recalled how L used tC
howl and fight over face washing
Memory being dim, had imagined
that it arose from boyish obstinacy
but know now that it was dislike
to being skinned alive. No boy
would kick at having barber VAST
his face, aud it will be happy day
for boydom when the mothers take
lessons from the tonsOrial artist. y

gether more attractive.
For the quiet young woman there
is the jauuty little jacket Of mill
tary style, with trimming of wide,
heavy braid, straight collar, and top
ped with band Of braid to give
epaulette effect.
Both in tailor gowns and separate
jackets the cutaway coat style has u
strong hold.
All the coats of the season are in
smooth cloths; blues, greens and
browns prevailing in the cOlGrs.
Black is seldom seen except in the
more elaborate coats that are made
up of silks, velvets and furs. But
these belong to the colder season.
The fall wraps interest us most just
now.
A pale putty color is decidedly
modish in the early jackets, but par
ticularly we'll liked is it in the cloth
capes. The newest cloth capes have
the shaped hOunces, often as many
as three. that fall most gracefully.
There is an air of real elegance
about the putty colOred cloth cape,
with its tinishings of machine stitch
ing and small pearl buttons.
| have noticed that the light jack
cts are lined with either bright
pinkish red or bright purplish
blue. Checked taffetas are also used +,
but not to the extent of the plain
COlOrs mentioned.
The fanciful braid designs, scat
tered all over jackets and wraps,
have had setback. The prefer
ence this season Is given the plain
rows of heavy braid, or machine
stitching as finish Braid designs
are used but they are more in the
form of applique pieces. Handsome
hand applied braiding is delight
to the eye, but the imitation and
machine done sort has quickly
brought this revived Old.time mode
of decoration quickly to an end.
AS has been said before in these
columns, capes will be popular with
,both young and old, but young wo
men have the cape for rather more
dressy wear, clinging fOudlv tn the
jauntly little jacket for every day
and practical use. There are outing

The several boards of county commits
sioners, under the law, are o acting
as boards of assessments and equaliza-
ton Of taxes. Ii is a well-known fact
that in many counties Of the territory,
partly through the ignorance of assess
ors and partly through the connivance
of persons owning property, much that
should be taxed escapes. The boards of
assessment can remedy this bad state of
affairs a great deal by carefully scan
ming and exam ming all tax returns and
by adding property that is not returned
by owners, to returns for taxable pur-
poses. Schools cannot be maintained
aud the city, county and territorial gov
ernments cannot be administered with
out money. The funds necessary fol
these purposes are raised by assessment
of property and by collecting taxe'
| thereon. The stricter the several boards
of county commissioners in the territor,
are in performing their duties, having
due regards to justice and equity in tn
matter, the better for the public goot
and for the honest taxpayer.
