FRILLS OF FASHION.

New black slippers have very high
gold heels. They are put forth b,
conservative dealers.
Gun-metal mounting is the latest
touch for card cases, wallets and
dainty leather accessories.
Lace ovals are sold for HoDiton lace
work. One can get these by the yard
in white and ecru. and in different
sizes, very inexpensively at most
fancy shops.
The wearing of real violets in a
mourning hat is a current fashion,
and one which stands better chance
to thrive in cold, foggy Paris in No
vember than here.
The love of much yelling has not
passed with the summer. Three wells
with afternoon dress are as common
as two, and one has a look about it
as of something missing.
The newest idea-adopted from
Paris-is an earring formed of a love
ly large pearl or superb diamond
swinging from very much smaller
stone, or sometimes from cluster top.
London's new fad is the collection
of single stones cut and polished.

the possession of not only perfect
specimens but of examples of the rar-

You cannot wear too many rings.
Golden circlets set with enormous

Putting HI. Foot in 1t

Many different persons find the be-
ginning of a conversation awkward.
especially on ceremonious occasions
and with strangers. Sometimes. how
ever, the beginning is not half SO awk-
ward as what comes afterward.
A bashfui young man on being in
troduced to lady at a dinner party
said:
I've got to take you in to dinner.
Miss Travers, and I'm rather afraid of
you. you know. Every one tells me
you're very clever"
The young lady was naturally
amused by this display of simplicity.
:. How absurd" she exclaimed I'm
not a bit clever"
The young man heaved a sigh of re-
lief and answered.:

weren't

Describing a Kiss.

Some one with plenty Of time on
his hands has conceived the idea of
hunting through the works of all the
well known English novelists for the
purpose of gathering all the adjectives
with which to qualify the word kiss. -
The result of his labor is that kisses
can be as follows:
Cold. warm, icy, chilly. burning.
cool. loving, Indifferent. balsamic, fra
grant. blissful. passionate, aromatic,
with tears, believed long, soft, hasty.
Intoxicating, assembling. delicious.
pious. tender. beguiling hearty. dis
tracted, frantic, fresh as the morning,
breathing fire, divine, glad, superficial.
quiet, loud, fond, heavenly, devouring.
ominous, fervent. parching. nervous.
soulless. stupefying, slight, careless,
anxious, painful. sweet. refreshing.
embarrassed. shy. mute. ravishing.
holy, sacred. firm. hurried. faithless.
narcotic. feverish. immoderate. sister
ly. brotherly and paradisacal The
task seemed interminable, and he gave
up at this stage.

Luncheon Gowns.

At buttercup luncheon the other
day the gowns We're simply beautiful.
You can have no idea OF the loneliness
of yellow until you see it in all its pos
sibiiities. There were gowns in cow
slip colored cloth. tailored, and very
simply trimmed with bands OF the
same; and there were black dresses set
off with vests and stocks and belts of
butter-colored satin.
A charming gown was in black serge.
Just imagine serge as a dressy lunch
con gown, with buttercup colored
yoke OF taffeta, overlaid with very
heavy winter lace. The cuffs were Of
the turn-back kind, of buttercup silk,
with the lace over them. Really. they
are mailing up serge in many ways this
year, and its fine quality deserves
whatever treatment may be accorded it.

PROSPECTS FOR STATEHOOD.

The Pueblo Chieftain says that the
prospects for statehood for the terri
tories Were so good in the past
as now. On Friday the house commit
tee on territories brought in an omni-
bus bill, providing for statehood for
New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma,
instead of separate bills. This is an
excellent indication of the absence of
very serious objection anywhere. Now
If a few vigorous petitions could be
sent in from the states that are neigh
bors of the three territories it might
have an effect in Fastening the result.

ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION COMMITS

After the expiration of the last legis-
lative assembly Governor Otero APP
pointed w. b. Walton and Thomas
Hughes members of the st. Louis fair
commission from this territory. The
appointments were unsolicited by these
gentlemen. During the past year they
have worked hard to collect a credit
able exhibit, and the mineral collection
at Charleston is largely due to their eff
forts. All this has been done without
pay. The whole expense for the past
wear of the commission for clerical
work, postage, kilograms. etc, is less
than 5000.
On this subject the Santa Fe New
Mexican says:
A weekly sheet published in Albu-
querque charges that the appointments
of Thomas Hughes, editor of the Albu-
querque Citizen. and of w. B. Walton,
editor of the Silver City Independent,
as members of the commission TO have
charge of the New Mexico exhibit at
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in
st. Louis are illegal, for the reason
that they were members of the GATH
legislative assembly, that created the
commission, and were therefore under
the organic act incompetent to hold
such positions and ineligible thereto.
This sheet claims that under the pro-
viso of the law prohibiting the ap-
pointment of members of the legisla-
tive assembly to Offices created by the
assembly of which they were members,
Messrs. Hughes and Walton should
Immediately be removed as such COM
m~issioners. The position is not well
taken and is not sustained by the law
as it is. Messrs. Hughes and Walton
hold merely nominal territorial posi-
tons. They are not sworn officers,
they receive no pay, n are simply
members of a commission created for
a certain and specific purpose and
can not therefore be considered of the
class of officials that would properly
come under the provisions of the law.
In addition, it has been the custom,
since the territory was created, of
the several governors thereof to ap'
point prominent citizens to serve as
members of similar commissions, even
when they have been members OF the
legislative assembly that enacted the
laws making such. Governor Oterc
followed the custom and there was
certainly nothing illegal or improper in
his action, when it is considered that
Messrs. Hughes and Walton are fully
competent to perform the duties o.
such commissioners and are leading
and public spirited citizens of the ter
ritory.

QUESTION.

The irrigation question at Washing
ton appears to be growing more COM
plicated from day to day. A recent
dispatch announces that some of the
enemies of the national irrigation
movement have come out openly in
favor of the state cession. On the
other hand the cattlemen are said to
be actively supporting the compromise
bill, because of the provision in it
which leaves land open to scrip and
desert land entries until the contract
is let. They think this will enable them
to get the land in the range states
ahead of the settlers.
The bill is really a deception in this
respect, because, while stating that
land proposed to be irrigated shall
be reserved for actual settlers only
it leaves this clause imperative until
the contract is let for the construction
of the works, before which time
every acre of the land would be takeI
up by spectators.

RURAL DELIVERY BILL PASSED

After a weeks practically uninter-
rupted consideration of the measure
the house has e%viscerated the bill to
put the rural free delivery service UNI
der the contract system and passed it.
The paragraph relating to contract
was stricken out in committee of the
whole by a vote of 81 to 40. Efforts
to keep the carriers out of the civil
service were unavailing.
A yea and nay vote was taken on a
proposition to dismiss a carrier who
uses his position to further the inter
ests of any political party, which was
defeated by a vote CT SO to 141.
The bill as passed establishes the
rural free delivery service as a part
of the postal system of the country, 1t
having hitherto been conducted as an
experimental service, by appropria'
tons made from year to year, increas-
ing from $4,000 in 1894 to 3 $50, 900
in 1902.
The bill provides for special agents
in charge of divisions at 81, 400 apiece;
four other classes of special agents
at salaries respectively of 1900, 81,
400, 81, 800 and s. 1000; route inspectors
at salaries of 5000, 81 900, $1,100 and
$1,000; clerks graded at the same fig
ures; and carriers at not exceeding
5000 per annum.

In the case of, this territory a clause
has been inserted in the bill which
leaves the naming of the state. If ad-
mitted, to the legislature of the state
itself. or to a constitutional conven-

to allow the adoption of this name if

naming territories shall be admitted
as the states of Arizona and Oklahoma
respectively.
