This is the season when the woman

Group is in demand in every neigh
borhood. One of the most terrible
things IN the world is to be awak-
ened in the middle of the night by a
whoop from one of the children. The
Group remedies are almost as sure to
be lost, in case of Group, as a revol-
yer is sure to be lost in case Of burg
lars. There used to be an oldfash-

THE DROP SKIRT.

three times around, and the idea is car
ried out all the way to the bottom of
the skirt where the last part is left
to flow free like a f1ounce. This kind
of skirt is suitable only for slender
figure. The drop overskirt is scalloped
or vandyked at the bottom, and be-
meath that is a skirt with several mar
row ruffles. The illustration shows a
dinner or house gown Of white taffeta
as to the skirt and part of the waist
and sleeves, while the rest Is of the
dainty printed liberty silk in blue and
white The taffeta ruffies are bordered
with very narrow rows of fine silk SOU
tache braid, and the blue portion is
trimmed with white lace insertion and
narrow chiffon ruffie, with tiny
ruching of the same at the bottom. At
the neck is a trimming made of lace
and braid trifle wider.
Speaking of the braid reminds me of
the immense place in popular favor
gained by braids. They all come under
the heading of braids, but some of the
styles should be called laces and al
most works of art, SC beautiful are
| they and SO curiously wrought There
are all the old standard braids with
which we have been familiar for a
generation, but there are so many 9th
ers that one is lost trying to remember
them. Silk braids woven in blocks, in
checks and in floral designs are all
seen; also in lacelike patterns, and
as these are of silk they are fine enough
for the finest velvet or silk garment.
There is new and glossy braid in
MANY designs, and this is made of
wood silk" The silk is produced by
macerating mulberry wood and treat
ing it chemically and forcing the pulp
through spinnerets like those of the
silkworm making it's cocoon. 1t is pc
culiarly rich in appearance and GER
tainly makes beautiful braids or the
glossiest kind. There are also many
kinds of separate ornaments made or
silk and mohair in the way OF bre-
looues and frogs for the waists of the
suits where such trimming is indicat-
ed Some of these have pendants ID
the shape of tulips, fuchsias and other
flowers. The petals are Of the braid
gathered INTO the proper nHoPe, o'N
the stamens and pistils are OF the hne
round cord, with tiny buttons at the
ends. Until one really sees these braids
the variety and beauty Of them can
scarcely be understood.
Disks of velvet in all sizes are als'
among the output of the braids, an'
buttons not much larger than PIN
head are made in all colors and OF al
incredible fineness. These are to b.
applied in clusters Of six or seven Il

numerous Variations to Suit Differ
Ing Tastes.
There Is quite movement in the di-
rection Of double and over skirts. Many
Of the new street and house gowns are
made with a drop skirt of some kind,
most often of the same material as
that of the rest of the dress, but some
times the upper one is constructed Of
one kind and the lower skirt Of entire
ly different stuff even to the color.
Other skirts have shaped or gathered
founces from five to ten inches deep,
Set high on the skirt. Three of these
bring this trimming nearly to the waist
line and look somewhat like so many
skirts. Plated skirts are as popular
as they were year ago, and new ca
price is skirt shirred in sections and
between the shirred places, which are
naturally lengthwise and about twelve
inches deep, there are rows of fine
braid or featherbone cording in the

The killing Of young man by Rose
burg policeman last week has aroused
considerable speculation as TO the exact
limit OF the right Of an officer TO shoot
man whom he is trying 10 arrest. II Ia
very certain that an officer must be given
wide latitude in this regard or he would
be able to make no arrests. But In this
case, II the shooting was intentional, q
great majority will agree that the limit
was far oyerstspped. The officer him
self does not attempt to justify the act,
but claims that II was by accident that
the man was struck by the bullet. In
this case the officer was uncertain Of the
identity Of his man and the sequel proved
that he was pursuing the wrong person.
Then, also, the man who was killed could
not be certain that he was pursued by
an officer. Few men In his case would
have given heed to the pursuer's asser-
tion that he was the marshal. The re-
rousness Of the case Is emphasized by
the fact that The victim was we'll known
young man OF the county. while il is
necessary to give officers a good deal Of
privilege in the discharge Of their duties,
they themselves should handle their
privileges with judgment and care that
they do not 20 beyond the reasonable
limits. IL might be- appropriately re-

committee presided and introduced the
speakers. Prof. Wann made a short
address, explaining the needs Of the
public school system from his point OF
view Mr. Chamberla was then intro
dnced. lie Is pleasing speaker and his
speech vas telling and iorcible. lie
took the standpoint that the office Of
governor has little to do with partisan
politics. lie did not propose to discuss
the national political issues, claiming
that they bad nothing whatever to do
with the case, but gave his time to
subjects directly pertaining to the
governors office, endeavoring to give an
idea OF the course he would pursue if he
were elected governor. lie pointed out
a number Of abuses in the administra-
ton Of state officers and promised their
correction II lie should be elected, He
said he would be governor, not OF the
democratic party, but OF the people Of
the state Of Oregon. OF his election,
Mr.. Chamberlain spoke in the most CON
fident terms, lie made no disfaragng
remarks concerning his opponent, Mr..
Furnish, merely raising the question as
to what Furnish had ever done to show
that he was qualified to act as governor.

to with close attention and he was vigor.
ously applauded.

address, few brief remarks were made
by Henry Blackmsn, candidate for state
