French plaids are shown, generally in
small designs. There are plaids where
every square is emphasized by little curls
or knots of thread. Others have stripes

transparent they are very strong and al.

hams in the brightest oolors will doubtless
be among the most serviceable and best

the mems shirt sleeves. White linen col.
lars are to be WORN with the new shirt

for separatC cuffs, and others have the cuffs
sewed on. Still others have a narrow band
finish, like bishop sleeves. / should not
forget to mention that many of these shirt
waists show blouse effects Some have the
yokes plated; Others are tucked; Others are
trimmed with lace laid on smoothly.
There Is a Russian blouse shirt waist open

waist line and finished with a ruffle of the

appearance. Bias bands of plaid are also
very effective. Hand crocheted laces and
other designs In that interesting and du-

Among the organdies there are some

the new fancy for bell skirts. The French
organdies are in the same widths but are
finer and more costly. Tho new colors in
these organdies are porcelain blue, nile

difficulty In carrying out the contract
which the sale Of the little red stamp
implies, but at Juneau his troubles be-
gin. The mail route from blere to Cir.
Dle City is numbered 7S, lO5, and it is
| probably one of the most difficult routes
in our postal system. If you don t think
so, just read this matter of fact report
by the mail carrier on that route. He
describes his last journey from Circle
City to Juneau as follows:
left Circle City Sept. IA. Our party poled
up the river from Circle City to Dawson, 800
miles, in II days hours. From Dawson we
poled up to McCormack's Post, about 265
miles, arriving there Sunday, Oct. a. We
were compelled to lie over at Sixty Mile Post
for five days. At McCormack's we abandoned
our boats and started overland on what is
known as the Dalton trail, about 800 miles to
Chilkat, where we arrived safely after 25 days
travelling through two to three feet of snow
over mountain trail. We started with IL
horses, and they were all dead before we got
half way. Ihope that this brief outline will
be Of some assistance and would be pleased to
be at your service for any information in my
power
To have man plod through three
feet Of snow for 20 days at a time, pole
boat for 600 miles up stream along ice
clogged rivers, drive 12 unfortunate
horses to death and brave the terrors of
Chilkat pass-that's S what you paid for
when you bought your 2 cent stamp
On this particular trip the plucky
mail carrier came through all right
He may not be so lucky next time. A
mail carrier in Montana perished the
other day while on his route. 1t was
not an unusual occurrence. Every spring
and fall the man who carried the mail
from Cheboygan, Mich, across the
straits to Mackinac Island used to risk
his life on each trip. He crossed in
double ended sailboat and fought his
way through fields of floating ice In
the winter before the ice broke up he
used a dog team and sledge, and the
mail is still carried from Mackinac to
the mainland by the same method. DIR.
Sheldon jackson now proposes to carry
mail over Chilkat pass and into Dawson
City by reindeer teams. His plan may
be adopted.
There are many routes, especially in
the western states, which are covered
during the winter months only at the
imminent peril of the carriers. The red

too. This they have done. They carry
