George Pedley left last Tuesday for
Pasadena, California, where he will
join his family and where he expects
to make his home. Mr. Pedley has
been a resident of Canon City for
thirty one years and his departure from

back if he finds California less agreea-
BILE than Colorado.
John p. Westonberg, who is en-
ployed by the Canon City Gas Com
pany, and Miss Myrtle NJ. Burkley
were married by Rev D. Burt Smith

We deny the statement of the Clip
per---that the Gov. came here "to buy
the band", he did not meet a member
of the band while here otherwise than
a chance meeting on the street.
The band is and always was, nom
partisan, and will play for any one or
any political party paying the price,
with no favors to any one. All of the
band knew of the donation and the
resolutions were read by all who cared
examine them (as each member was
asked if he cared to read them and
they were then signed by the officers
of the band as is customary with all
organizations.
There is no dissention in the band a
glimpse into the band room at any

fact that only the best of feeling exists.
We are satisfied with the name of
the band and think it should remain as
it is in honor of the man who has done
so much for the band.

A Fish Net Photograph Holder.

A college girl has solved the prob
lem of disposing OF her growing col.
lection of pictures and photographs
in this manner:
She bought coarse mesh fish net
and tackled 1t taut on wall. Then
the four corners of the photographs
were tucked into the mesh of the net
and held tight. While the net affords
no protection from dust, flies and in
quisitive fingers. in this day of mex
pensive photography pictures come
and go with amazing frequency, and
one often lays aside a photograph
which has grown out of date for a
new one OF the same person.

New Fads for Summer Girl.

That bewitching creature known as
the Summer Girl, who comes each
year to charm ms anew, plans to intro.
duce this season many new fashion
fads. She is studying more than ever
every little Letail of her dress. and
her aim is always to look finished
picture. She orders her hat to match
her frock, and then-not content with
this-she selects her parasol, her veil
and her gloves to carry out perfectly
the color harmony Of her costume.
The majority of her gowns for sum-
mer time wear will be in delicate
tints. Already she is showing a pref
erence for faint gray, ivory tints and
the palest of green's. The fabrics she
selects are soft and silky, and the
greater number OF them are transpar-
ent. In place of serge and cheviot
she VIII wear the new silky, supple
mohair or Siciliene, and she specially
favors the voiles and the soft, pliable
tahetas. Her gowns will be elaborate
but never will their elaboration inter
fere with their artistic effect.

French women stow these delicate
articles In what is called a lingerie
basket, covered with cretonne and
trimmed with ruchings and lace, inter
lined with plain color in harmony
with its contents. This forms quite
pretty adjunct to my lady's chamber,
and the cover Is generally wadded, a
large, fiat bow on the top. Ribbons
form the hinges. but there are pockets
inside for holding sachet bags. which
give the different articles a delightful
aroma. In these baskets these dainty
garments are not in any way crushed.
and sometimes they are divided in
four and have a series OF trays for
each kind of lingerie. It should be
large enough to hold a petticoat at
the base, and the corset covers are
slowed away under straps of ribbon
in the lid. These baskets are mostly
OF wicker, and are rather q pretty

to any friend.
