Improved by Marriage

did you ever notice how it improves
a man to be married?" This query
was propounded by a young southern
woman here, says the Philadelphia
Record. "You can always depend upon
1t that it is a married man who shows
you all the small courtesies in an ele-
vator; it is married man who stands
up for you in the street car and it
is the married man who does all the
chores at picnic. The most thought
less, irresponsible kind of single man
often becomes veritable model of
amiability after he gets him a wife. I

we'll for any occasion; embroidered COL
lar and revers and large, fancy buttons
should be the trimming. But we may
state right here the tendency is for the
lighter colors for dressy wear; this Is
to be what is called a color season; by
which is not meant necessarily q snowy,
cloud" season, but one where sombes
shades are in the background.
White waists for wear with various
skirts are to be in full favor, worn as
they have not been for several years.
Those of fine white. trimmed with some
handmade lace and embroidery, will
be we'll liked, and white nets are to be in
mode. Spangled robes will be affected
by those that care for that sort Of thing,
but they always remind us of the circus.
and We think them very trying, unless
one have very bright eyes and q brill
liant complexion.
Separate waist of silk and chiffon will
be worn as part of the three-piece suits;
answer for some more than usually
dressy morning affair, be just the thing
for afternoon dress, and do we'll enough
for evening. Last year we remember a
beautiful costume Of gray; the skirt 4
fine broadcloth, the waist creation OF
gray chiffon, velvet and lace; the wear
err a handsome pale brunette, it was very
effective.
Does this appeal to you as q play on
blue-a color very common and not
considered especially suitable for any,
thing save the common wear and yet we
hold that use Of the delicate tones
would make most effective costume for
formal occasions-a skirt Of fine dark
blue broadcloth and long coat of the
same; the waist of gray-blue chiffon,
made with high pulled sleeves, the lower
part unlined, the arm showing through
the transparency; here and there some
metallic luster, in the girdle back, and
front, and perhaps a necklace or dog
collar of silver filagree.
Costumes will again be made up on
boned and fitted Innings, Save in de-
tails, which are Of utmost Importance
in giving the right touch of fashionable
ness, styles are very similar to those OF
last year. The sleeve is perhaps the
most decided departure, the pun well
above the elbow. Plain goods will be in
better form than novelty mixtures;

desire lighter weight goods, will do we'll

We are getting old, shortly We are to

the famous philosopher, statesman,

They are made up Of those various
countries and of various historic peri
DDS; We borrow at present not only from
France, but from England and Japan.
And the old modes, of course, are
adapted to modern demands; wherefore
1t is difficult in the adaptation to trace
back to the origin. This season we are
to have the high pulled sleeve of the
days of Louis XIV. and elaborate waist
coat Of the same period. The straight
front waistcoat is of the next Louis
time, and the Empire coat brings us to
another period. The strictly tailored
walking costume we get, we are told,
from the London tailors, but surely
much improved upon by the American
man of shears.
In materials and trimmings we bark
back to days of rich stuffs and flower
adornment. Velvet will be much worn,
it is so becoming and dressy; there will
be great deal of hand-work, handmade
lace and embroideries; colored shoes
will continue in high fashion, especially
for evenings, although colored uppers
with patent-leather tips will appear.
The colored shoes come down to us from
the superfine days, as does the elbow
sleeve with the deep frills of lace and
the deep-pointed bodice, still to remain
in style. 1t looks bit queer to see the
brown hands of girl of the day ex-
tending from the delicate lace ruffles
we were wont to associate with fingers
of aristocratic attenuation and pallor,
but the girl of the present seems serene
" unconscious of any anachronism.
The fashionable walking skirt is OF
circular cut and instep length, and the
accompanying coat Is long and close fit
ting, but not so long as the separate
wrap. To bind these utility skirts vel
vet is used, that the appearance be neat,
no frayed edges suggesting untidiness.
And the economically minded, as all
sensible women should be, no matter
how long the purse, will approve Of the
utility skirt of the day also because the
shoes are protected, the skirt short
enough not to brush against the upper
parts and make them dingy. =:
The box coat and long .semi:fitting
separate wrap: now gives: place to the
Empire coat, which defines the figure
more or less clearly. One of black
broadcloth should prove an excellent
investment; if the material were very
fine and lovely this wrap would answer

The Important Details of Dress

also are on display, the feathers Of !
soft, brownish gray-very trying, only
a few being able to wear this colorless
combination. The leading colors in the
millinery world are smoke-gray, plum
and burgundy shades, and blue that
has suspicion of green. For dress
hats lace drapery will be used-veiling
the flower trimming, which is to be a fea-
ture of the winter millinery. And very
pleasing we consider the use Of flowers

Vinol, be it understood, is not a

of the medicinal, curative and

clog the system, upset the stomach

Vinol is so far superior to old fashion

We do not believe there is man,

vinol will not benefit at this season
Of the year.
Vino1 has become So we'll known

over two thousand leading druggists
of the United States to create health

Who Gets the Lewis and Clark
Ticket Friday Night?
Rifrs.ff Crimes Around Yakima.

Almost every night reports come in
of petty robberies and crimes commit
ted by the riffraff that invariably in
tests this part of the country about
harvest and fair time. Last night the
storage warehouse of the Pacific
Mailing & Brewing company was brok-
en- open and a case of beer containing
two dozen bottles, stolen. The thieves
are unknown but it is supposed that
they are gang of hoboes which was
arrested last night while in the midst
of a drunken orgy near the railroad
track on the south side of the city.
The work of driving this class of
men out of town goes on but as fast
as one bunch of them is rounded up
another comes in on the boxcars and
the local force of police has it's hands
full to keep them on the move. The
city jail is so small that it will not
hold the men arrested for any length
of time and unless the crime is Sc
rious one, the county officials will not
take the matter up, because the coun-
ty Jail is also crowded to the doors.
There are almost three times as many
prisoners now in the county Jail as the
institution was intended to bold
North Yakima Republic.
