five o'clock the same style of garment
as is made for the American hostess
of the country house shooting party.
On the whole, perhaps. the gowns in
vogue here are rather more negliges
than those adopted by your country
women; this year, par exemple, the
embroidered or lace coat hanging
loosely over an Empire accordion
pleated under-dress, confined at the
waist, is much en- evidence; it is a
charming idea of a gown for five
o'clock. Of course, the tea gown has
some pretenSion to 'fit,' while the
saut-de-lit is absolutely plain. Many
of the best models are cut a la'Empire
But think those made with a lace coat
edged with a narrow trimming of er-
mine are very beautiful. The mixing
of lace, fur and chiffon finds an ideal
environment in a Louis XVI. salon.
The lace blouse is also de rigueur
over here for five o'clock; but it is
never worn with dark skirt The
necks of these elaborate blouses are
very often quite transparent, but there
is no suggestion of a decolletage. A
few exclusive models have tiny v at
the neck to permit of the wearing of
a Louis XVI. ornament or pendant,
which is such charming finish to
some of the dainty toilettes of the
same period.

find favor for afternoon wear-and
with a broad yoke OF Yak, or other
coarse lace, they are quite stylish-look-
ing. For more dressy wear, nothing
seems too elaborate as TO trimming,
nor dainty as to fabric for the blouse,
and any amount of needlework enters
into the making-such as bands of in
sertion, tucks, appliques of lace, fancy
stitchery, etc. Flannel blouses are
ornamented with the old-fashioned
English embroidery, worked with silk
or "Peri-Lusta" thread while the
lovely Norwegian and Danish embroid-
cry known as .sHardanger" work is
most decorative for any dress fabric
that permits of thread-drawing, or the
''Sawtooth" stitch used in this work
makes such pretty finish to cuffs,
collars, etc. Sleeves are gaining in size,
and many of the newest models stand
well out from the shoulders, and so
lend the appearance of breadth. At
the same time, however. the broad
yoke effect, sloping on to the shoul-
ders, is yet favored; while deep cuff
finishes are mostly shown for the
bishop or leg of mutton style of sleeve
or for the full French shape there is
long cuff, handsomely embroidered
and finished with ruffle of real lace
which nearly covers the hand
Mentioning blouses, reminds me OF
the pretty collar and cuff sets now
arranged, as well as the smart twice
round the neck ties of glace silk rib
bon, decorated with colored embroid-
cry in silk. The ends are V-shape, and
often hem-stitched or fagotted; then
raised dots, crescents, stars, or even
cut work devices are worked in col
ored silk, or that useful thread; peri,
Lusta," which has all the appearance
OF silk, and washes perfectly. The
collar and cuff sets are of glace silk
edged with narrow crochet or tatted
edging worked in silk; or fine linen
or canvas sets ornamented with Har-
danger embroidery are the very latest,
this lovely work also ornamenting
blouses in the shape of straps for box
pleats, yokes, etc.
For evening blouses there are roses,
asters, ETC., made of chiffon, with rib
bon or velvet ends, finished with the
flower bud. These floral additions re-
place the velvet bow and rosette so
long worn, and are extremely chic.
Floral garnitures are much used for
evening gowns-the small banksia
roses being the favorite blossom. The
coarse Yak or woollen lace, used so
much for dress trimmings, is often
decorated with cross-stitch worked in
red and blue, pink and pale green, two
shades of orange, ETC. 1t makes an eff
fective trimming for flannel blouses;
the stitching being added to the lace.

THE AuENDE HONoRABLE

The reference in the Echo of
last week to the amount of money
that had been paid out by the
county in court costs, that might
have been saved, was based on a
remark made by a gentleman in
Wenatchee in an exaggerated
sense, and was not intended to be
taken seriously.
Under a fiction which is called
poetic license, long haired, wild
eyed geniuses who are in the
habit of expressing their
thoughts in rhyme, take all man
ner of liberty with the English
language, violating all the known
rules of orthography, prosody
and syntax in way that harrows
the sensibilities of all those who
have q regard for the established
rules of expression.
Somewhat in a like manner
members of the legal profession
take liberties with facts. under
certain circumstances. when in
their Judgment "action on the
casen warrants them, that is posi-
tieely shocking to the uninitiat-
ed. Under, and by virtue of this
authority, which has been I'M
disputedly enjoyed for so long
by members of the bar that it has
become a prescriptive right, be
cause "the memory of man run
meth not to the contrary, lawyers
have been known, on rare occa-
sions, to make statements before
Justice of the peace that under
a strict construction would be
considered in violation of the
ninth commandment.
Now, if the patient reader will
pardon the apparent depression,
which was made necessary by
way of explanation, we will get
back to the subject and acknow-
ledge our sin, which was in &C
cepting for unqualified fact a
statement made by an honorable
member of the bar, with a know
ledge of the prescriptive right of
lawyers to handle the truth with
a reGklessness born of habit.
Wherefore we deem it fair and
right to say the Echo erred last
geek in saying that certain
family had cost the county 81, 500.
The statement was made by a
highly respected and reputable
member of theChelan county bar
under circumstances limited at
above, and ought, in view of the
writer's knowledge of the right
of lawyers to make sweeping
statements, to have been accept

ONE WAY OF wORsHrPING


For the past month we have
had the most perfect weather i'm
aginable. The past winter, while
not a cold one, was long, lasting
from November to April, fully a
month longer than usual, and the
fall of snow perhaps rather hea-
vier than usual, keeping the
ground covered for the five
moths to depth of from one to
three feet, making excursions to
the mountains, woods and
streams impractiGable. Indeed,
making all manner of out door
diversion except sleighing, i'm
possible. Now that spring with
its warn balmy weather has set
in, the bright sunshine resting on
all the earth, the trees putting
on their summer foliage, the hills
and slopes and meadows clothed
in that restful shade of green
that is unlike anything else in
this world; the birds, too, chirp
and twitter in such a merry way
as if they also were rejoicing be-
cause spring was here. Every
thing abounds with health and
strength. The small boy can
hardly contain himself. He feels
so good he just wants to fly.
Nature wooes US with such irre-
sisible siren smiles, reckoning
US to her haunts, that we cannot
resist the impulse to put behind
US the haunts of men and follow
her on the only day of leisure we
have in the seven-Sunday. We
wander along the banks of the
river and gaze into the shining
water, we lie on the grass
and look for hours into the azure
vault watching one cloud feck
chase another, we listen to the
Drawing mountain torrent as it
rushes down to meet and mingle
its waters with the river: we
climb a high mountain and feel
that we are standing on top Of
the world, and that life is large
and the world is good Oh life,
oh spring! Most glorious of the
seasons.
Who shall say that the man
who spends his Sundays-with
his family if he have one-wor-
Shipping nature and natures god
on this the only day he can spare
from his work, does not come
nearer to true worship than that
other one who bends his knee in
the sunless precincts of a church.
