The origin of the long coat is inter-
esting to trace. It is said to have been
introduced by Nine. Pompadour as the
correct riding coat at royal hunting
parties. This innovation, like every
thing decreed by the "grande mar
quise," was adopted by the ladies of the
court. No sooner had she set the exam
pie by wearing this becoming coat than
the entire train of the king and queen
took it up with vim. The French coat
was carried out in bright colored cloth
relieved with fancy galloon or embroid-
cries, but the most effective jackets
were those of velvet in lovely colorings.

igently and in detail would bring on an
attack of mental indigestion. After all,
the exact number of frills and furbe-
lows on a gown is not nearly so inter-
esting to the general reader as that
which goes to make up the ensemble.
One might as well try to explain how
Corot put his masterpieces together as
to give a really adequate idea of the
component parts of one of the sartorial
chefs d'oeuvres of today.
One of the sure signs of the times in
the dress world points to the wearing
of much velvet and the mingling of this
fabric with silk-a jacket, for instance,
of velvet worn with a skirt of taffeta,
peau de cygne or messaline, as the case
may be. Then, on these frocks are to
be found edgings of fur. And that re-
minds me that pelts and cloth are COM
bined in the same costume, often with
a happy result. For example, a stun
ming frock of white cloth had it's jupe
crossed with two volants of white fox,
the little short, semiftting jacket being
of the same fur, with an oriental touch
of embroidery threaded through the
waist line and collar. The blouse worn
with this costume really looked as
though it was made from one of those
Turkish scarfs the sons of the Ottoman
empire so persistently peddle to Chris
tians. Another practical and charming
combination is cloth and velveteen. the

EDITOR TOLD THE TRUTH
And Now His fIide AdOrns a Barbed
Wire Fence.

A Missouri editor announced that
for just one issue he would tell the
truth. Here are a few items from
that issue:
John Bonin, the LATEST merchant in
town made trip to Bellview yesterday.
John Doyle, our groceryman, is do
ing a poor business. His store is
dirty, dusty and notoriously oderifer-
GUS. How can he expect to do much?
Rev. Styx preached Sunday night
on charity. The sermon was punk.
II the reverend gentleman would live
up little closer to what he breaches
he'd have bigger congregations.
Dave Sonkey died at his home in
this place last Saturday. The doctor
gave it out as heart failure. The fact
is that he was drunk and whiskey is
what killed him. His home was
rented shack in Rowdy street.
Married-Miss Sylvia Rhoden and
James Carnahan, last Saturday eve
ming, at the Baptist parsonage. The
bride is a very ordinary town girl,
who doesn't know any more about
cooking than a rabbit and never
helped her mother three days in her
life. She is not beauty by any
means and has gait like a fat duck.
The groom is we'll known here as an
up-to-date loafer. He has been living
off the old folks all his life and don't
amount to shucks. They will have a
hard life while they live together and
the News has no congratulations to
offer, for we don't believe any good
can come of such a union.
The issue in which he told the truth |
was the last one for that editor. Now,
in the morn, when dew diamonds
sparkle and the sweet birds make
the subscribers to that paper,
while it was published, drive out into
The country short way and gaze
neditatively upon piece Of tanned
skin hanging on a barbed wire fence.
1t is all that remains of the once
manly form of the editor who 'told
The truth for one week."

A Corvallis teacher came to Salem
recently and spent $25 in taking a
course in the Summer School Of
Methods conducted here, and was
offered place at an increased salary.
She wrote to Corvallis and was in
formed that the board Of education
there would pay her the same to stay.
So she decided to stay and raised the
amount to nearly four times as much
as it cost her to take the special work
at Salem. The poorly paid teacher is
