sometimes accompanies white evening
gowns both Of cloth and lace. These, with

the rich costumes, the big nat muff which
accompanies them adding to the look Of
cosy luxury.
Lace in Favor.
For the public night display about town
for dining, the theater, etc.-gowns In
white or pale colored cloth, with insets Of
/ Venice point, Bruges lace and Irish crochet
are the most distinctive creations. How
ever, one often sees quite simple effects
made of very expensive materials.
Many of the laces used on these radiant
| frocks are Just limitations, but only by the
sophisticated is the deception known. And
since they are deceiving, It is needless to
add that even the limitations are impos-
sible to the many. Like the real laces,
they come in Set skirt and bodice orna-
ments, which take many novel shapes.
Straight insertions and a~ll-over patterns
are less expensive, and II all-over designs
are chosen very handsome effects can be
made by cutting the wide laces in bands
and edging them with fur.
A stunning visiting frock so treated
showed two of these bands, shaping a
pOlulcu luulC ERECT, on the Sklrt. Inc ma
terial of the gown was violet aud white
striped wool, with a silky finish. Against
this the brown of the sable bands seemed
very rich, and a device for further variety
was made by placing the brownish lace
against a dead white background.
The smart gov of the moment rarely
depends upon one variety of trimming, un-
less 1t is a lace so splendid that to put
anything else with IL would be sinful. That
is. as far as the trimming Of the gown
proper is concerned, for even the white
bodiees show a line of turquoise or coral
velvet edging the stock and wristbands.
Sometimes a postillion belt in the same
material is added, and such slight touches
do much to relieve the sameness.

Favors HIGH License.
Kalispell, August 6.

Editor Bee: Having noticed that
the question of how the prostitutes
of Kalispell shall be disposed of is
being quite freely discussed through
the papers of the city, | ask to be
permitted through the columns of
your paper to publish a few facts in
regard to this matter.
AS prostitution and liquor are in
separable, it seems as though it were
impossible to remove one without the
other. If the liquor license was $4,000
instead of $500 the beautiful town OF
Kalispell would not be overrun with
low grog shops as at the present day
although some of those saloons are
in one, sense respectable, providing
there is such a thing as a respecta
BILE saloon. But those saloons which
have had prostitutes rooming in the
same building (as there are, | be
lieye, on some streets, are vile)
Men selling liquor today because i
is lazy way to earn a living, may
be laying up treasures on earth bu
they are certainly not laying up treas
ures in Heaven. And as it is aswel
known fact that alcohol used to ex
cess has a tendency to infiame tn,
wicked, brutal passions and to dead

OF both sexes, those debauched, bloat
ed, red-faced, besotted creatures
have, some of them, sometimes so fol
gotten their manhood as to be seel

And they the women, are the out
casts of society. And how strang
that those very men who are a
guilty as the women, will Away
find place in decent society. Yes
even in the house of God, if they hav
the nerve and the gall (pardon tn
slang) to claim it. Perhaps the run
shops are a little benefit. N
doubt they prevent a great man
from committing suicide, and thu
