Oregon has suffered much less than
Washington, but has suffered in Clacka-

DECLINE OF THE APRON.
An Article of FeAiAins Apparel
which IS Now But Little
Worn in Public,


1t is about 40 years since the popu-
larity of the apron began to wane. At
that time no woman's wardrobe was
complete without an assortment of
aprons for all sorts of occasions. A
black silk apron was the acme of
elegance and propriety, and any non
descript gown could, by the addition
of the black silk apron, trimmed with
few rows of black velvet ribbon, be
dignified and adorned to the utter sat
isfaction of the wearer, says Wom-
ans Home Companion,
An apron had rather a wide field of
usefulness when you consider that it
not only preserved and embellished a
new gown, but it also concealed the
defects, and added dignity to an old
one. An apron was always en- regle.
The best dress was kept clean by its
use, and the daintiness OF it repre-
sented all the feminine traits. 1t was
a regular banner of the home. To
its strings the children were tied.
"Tied to his mothers apron strings!"
Contemptuous expression of subor-
dination! And yet so much sentiment
attached to It'll Whoever was tied to
his mothers apron strings was COM
paratively safe-was in his mothers
lead. Mothers apronl The baby
was rolled in it. Childish tears we're
dried with it. The little boys used its
strings for reins, and the little girls
played princess and trailed its ample
folds behind them, real ladies in wait
ing to an imaginary queen.
Those were ante-new-woman days.
Knitting and needlework were fem
mime occupations. 1t was previous to
the day of higher education for wom-
en-. 1t may sound far-fetched to say
that home sentiment waned with the
decline of the apron. The latter may
not have been the cause, but it certain
ly kept pace with it. Ihave the writ
ten statement of a man to the effect
that a snow-white apron tied neatly
about trim waist had power to at
tack the masculine heart at it's most
vulnerable point. After that say there
is no sentiment about an apron! But
man eheriShes sentiment above things
of which the feminine mind has nc
conception, and his heart has beer
many times enSnared in the muslin
bow that tied at the back of his sweet
hearts waist this banner Of the home.
The last was about the man of gem
GRAFTON ago. But the man Of to-day
has the same sRutimknt-latent

FRIDAY, OCTOBER "a, 1902.

The good roads convention held in
Portland last week was we'll attended
and it is hoped that it will be productive
of good results. A state organization
was formed, with Judge Scott Of Salem
as president, with the purpose OF keep
ing the question before the people until
they realize the importance OF the move
menf. There is no question which
more vitality affects the rural population
Of the country today than that OF good
roads, and none in which less interest
is manifested by those most affected.
It is one of the anomalies of human
nature that the average resident will
discourse for hours upon trusts and 9TH
or questions by which they are but very
slightly affected, but will struggle
through the mud with less than would
make a half load on good roads, without
complaint and with no idea of attempt
ing to improve the situation. OF course
the subject of good roads is big ques-
ton and everything cannot be accom-
plished at once, but start could and
should be made in every community,
and by constantly adding thereto de-
cided change for the better would soon
be apparent on our country roads. As
TO the means OF doing this, OF course
there would have to be some radical
changes in the present road laws, and
as start in the right direction, if the
property road tax, which is'now collected
by each property owner going out upon
the highway and visiting for a few hours
with his neighbors, were collected in
cash and the proceeds applied to the
construction of permanent piece OF
road in some OF the numerous "bad
places in each district, the public as
we'll as the property owners would be
the gamers thereby. The state organi-
cation should be followed by local or
ganizations throughout the state, and
every effort used to bring about an i'm
proyement in our present system OF
road making.

II seems that there was a misunder-
standing among growers generally re-
garding the approximation prizes offered
by Seattle and Portland merchants, and
that they did not represent separate
awards as many thought, but were only
an offer to purchase the fruit receiving
certain specified awards in the competi-
ton, at the prices mentioned, and if a
grower did not wish to sell for the price
offered it did not prevent his receiving
the diploma for the class on which the
offer was made.
