Special Correspondence of The Evening Star'
PARIS. February I. 1903.
We have recovered from the exhilarating
effects of the bargain sales, and many OF
us are bemoaning the fate which ola not
save us from their fascination. one cannot
have ones cake and eat it. too; still the
money souandered on unconsidered would
come in very gratefully for the spring
gown soon to be purchased For the time
being things sartorial, even here at the
fountain head. are in statu quo. That there
Is a good time coming the couturieres con-
hdently assure us. They have promised for
the next few weeks a plethora of beautiful
creations.
The moment Immediately with us is the
one par excellence for indulging in the real
ly neat. simple tailor suit. The tailor gown
is always counted the stepping stone to
smarter things. 1t has it's own special mo-
meuts of exclusive attention. which occur
lust before the approach of each season.
Impressed as every dress respecting Wo-

the storm and stress of the intermediate
seasons without the tailor-built frock The
most plausible explanation Is that the oe-
mon OF spending was not so rampant theh
as now. and the question OF new gown Oh
some sort did not loom so largely on the
mental horizon Blessed days were those
when delaine or a brocade was worn IN
til ii became dowdy. But there are COM
pensations for what modern woman would
enjoy even heaven itself if the same gown
had to be donned for every occasion? Our
life is complex nowadays, when even moods
as we'll as bodies have to be appropriately
clothed.
There Is tide In the affairs of modes
which leads at present emphatically to tai
loring. These simple, unobtrusive little
tailor frocks are very deceptive, as small
fortune may be squandered on a nice. serv-
iceable dress. Apropos of that same SIM
plicity rumor runs that the best houses are
determined to leave all business and eiabo-
ration to their humber brethren. These in
ferior people make up in ornamentation
what they lack in cut. Perfect lines and

fact. all the pastel shades are again to

For the intermediate season nothing is
nicer than a dress of black velvet souple,
which. as Its name implies, is merely a

with a light chenille fringe. The collar is
OF Venetian point lace, and little of the
same trimming Is used on the cuffs. while
the back of the coat is held to the figure

Land Board Proceedings.

The state lands board. at Its weekly
meeting. July 1st, decided that in the
future no land should be sold Tor res-
ervoir sites for less than $40 an acre.
In the past the. land has rarely been
sold. for over $5 an acre, but the sites
are becoming more valuable every day,
as the interest In irrigation and the
storage of water Increases. and the
board doesr not believe itSwfse to sell
land for a less sum when in three or
four yenrs its value will be- doubled.
The board sold two RESERVOIR sites
in Weld county at sic an acre and
two quarter sections of land adjoining
Steamboa Springs. Forty, acres in
Prowers county were sold to F. d. Ev-
eritt. who has lived on the land for
eight years. s. s. <, : - = ssf
The board ordered the sale of 10000
feet Of lumber in Boulder county. on
the ground that II -had matured and
could not be OF use much longer and
refused to sell 1850 acres of timber
land in Park county. .rl ''iF
A lease of 16O acres of land In Pueblo
county, granted to Former Governor
James b. Orman some years. ago. was
cancelled. The former governor had
never used the land. and thought that
the lease had been cancelled soon after
II was IndQe, N"
All members of the board deny the
report that advantage was taken OF
Mrs Grenfell's absence to sell the land
near Steamboat Springs. Attorney Gen
eral Miller. member of the board, ex-
planned the action of the board by say-
ing that whenever state land Ia SO sold
the. first act of the board is to order
the sale at minimum price. .Subse-
euently a. report of the sale Is made
and II the board sees proper the sale is
confirmed.

All that the board did during Mrs
Grenfell's absence was to confirm this

for. The price received was good
