regard TO the proper method of be
ginning the Improvement of Long

ening at n meeting that gentleman
had at the city council room with
the executive committee of the Long
view Park Improvement association
and the park committee of the city
council. The meeting was presided
over by Mayor Knox.
Mr.. Simond was called upon To pre-
sent his views in the matter. He be
gan by saying that the site he had

lying not only in the topography of
the land itself. but in the view that

Disagree with Architect.

In the consideration of matters
pertaining to the high school il de
veloped that the terms of the original
agreement with Architect Borgoltc
are not clear and a misunderstanding
seems liable to result. The board in
the first place called for plans for a
$4,000 building. but the structure
now nearing completion viii cost.
when finished, about 100000. The
board feels that Mr.. Borgolte's re-
muneration should be based upon the
limit originally specified, while the
architect claims that his percentage
should be reckoned upon the total
cost. Neither side seems to feel in
clined to compromise the matter.

The old board adjourned sine die
and the new one convened and or
ganized AT a special meeting held for
the purpose i'm the office of the su-
perintendent in the Lincoln school
building. The adjournment took
place after certain business matters
had been attended to.

ally expressed their regret at the
severing of the pleasant relations
that had existed during their asso-
citation with the retiring president.
Mr.. Denkmann referring To the long
mans service.
The latter in return stated that.
while he felt a sense of relief at the
ending of his term of Office, he did
not leave the board without feeling
of regret inspired largely by the
pleasant spirit of cooperation that
the members had shown during the
last year of his term. He was GER
tain, however. that he left the school
interests of the city in good hands.

Spangles Still Popular

White lace princess gowns, the lace
spangled with silver paillettes around
the foot. are among the newest styles
of lace gowns. One quite new has no
sleeves at all, only narrow bands OF
black velvet across the Shoulders and
the TOD of the arm, fastened with tiny
diamond buckles the waist being kept
in place by curved whalebones. A
white lace gown Of this description also
carries out the black and white color
ing. always fashionable, by the jets and
silver paillettes, instead of only silver
Irish lace, rather too heavy for pail
lettes, is still the most fashionable Of
all laces. and in order to get the de-
sired effect, a higher lace ruffle is put
arOundthe foot of the skirt, and on that
the paillettes are sewn. oddly enough
the fashion is not to have the lace on
the waist embroidered or spangled. UNI
less, as is very rarely the case, a
bertha is worn and then the bertha gets
the benefit of the spahgles.
1t might be thought that the day of
spangles was over, but it is as fashion
able as ever to have spangled bands
on evening gowns. A pale gray chiffon
frOck Just turned out owes much of its
beauty to the bands of spangled net
which trim the skirt and cross and re-
cross ON the waist Braided figures on
silk and satin are undoubtedly for the
moment newer than appliqued spangles,
but on chiffon, net or lace the paillettes
and spangles still are the smartest

arraigned Wright entered a general
plea OF guilty and was discharged. In

from countries where there were kings
