the waist. The skirt was laid in box
plaits, with tiny tucks between each
plat. The high girdle was of plain
brown taffet, and the gpimpe of tucked
Persian lawn, striped with narrow lace.
Many of the new shirtwaist suits are
made of voiIe and light wool fabrics.
Very good, indeed, are the green and
blue pads in these materials. They are
ideal for travelling, as they do not ac-
cumulate dust, and are readily cleaned.
Al pretty model in green and blue
plaid was effectively trimmed with
stitched green taffeta bands. The skirt
was made with inverted box plaits, and
was tight fitting over the hips. The
taffeta bands were stitched on the two
plaits on either side of the front panel,
and were continued on the blouse half
way to the shoulder. The blouse had
plain front panel and three plaits on
either side, all stitched fiat. The neck
was open, showing a transparent collar
and guiInpe, and the little revers were
faced with taffeta. The sleeves ended
at the elbow, and were supplemented
by puffed undersleeves of muslin. The
wide girdle was green taffeta fastened
with a large enameled buckle.

HE WOULDN'T BE A JUDGE.
The Attorney Explained Why He
Didn't Wish to Wear Ernine.

ct was reading in the paper one
morning this week that judges are
overworked here in the east, and I
guess that's true" said a prominent
billiards in a club recently This
article to which I'm referring ex-
planned that the duties of a judge
were more exacting, if anything, than
those of a physician. He has to be on
time when courts in session, the soul
punctuality may be. Otherwise he
couldn't consistently reprove jury
men who miss trains or are detained
by croupy children Then, again, the
Judge can't get out at noon or night
until he adjourns himself, and he fire.
quently forgets to adjourn himself in
decent season. Besides, he must take
papers home with him and study eX-
ceptions and hear arguments on the
outside, so that on the whole I'm glad
I'm a plain attorney"
Now we understand" interrupted
a listener, why you refused judge
ship awhile ago. You're lazy and
fond of those Office hours of yours
which stretch from 1880 to 4, With a
long luncheon in the middle of them ="
NO, you don't understand con-
tin1led the lawyer. THAT isn't it at
All. I declined that appointment for
another reason; it's what 1 call the
judicial dignity reason. Here in this
section of the country the moment a
member of the bar ascends to the
bench he feels it incumbent on him
te invest himself with a distant air.
No matter how good fellow may be
naturally he's convinced that the pro
r,7.ietfes# of the profession demand that
he shall hold his friends and acquaint-
ances at arms length. He's civil and
courteous enough. of course, but he
doesn't mix in. That's the whole story
IN nv case. I thought it over and
said to myself: How'd you look as a
nudge playing pin pool every Saturday
night and breaking your cue on the
floor to rattle your opponents? No,
said I. I'm too young. Pin pool and
Somebody else wear the ermine.' -

Was William Ashe to blame? Was
he first too good and afterwards too
Indifferent to his wife and were these
the causes of her downfall ind her
sad and tragic end? These are the
questions which have been raised by
Mrs. Humphrey Wards new novel
and which one sees seriously discussed
by learned commentators and review
ers in most of the current periodicals.
They are the topic, too, over the
teacups, or wherever women VIII
leisure permits them the exciting
chase of keeping up with the new
fiction, gather. And strange to say
the women, always peculiarly tender,
plying and charitable in their judg
ments of a sister when she is only
novel heroine and her sins and mis-
takes are safely confined within the
backs Of a book, are almost unani-
nous in forgiving Kitty and blaming
William Ashe.
Is it than possible for a man to be
too good? OF course there is no Ques-
ton that one can be too goody-good,
but William Ashe was never that He
was rather, on the contrary, prone to
hide his real goodness, his inherent
nobility of nature under a mask of
levity, good natured cynicism and in
differentism,
Then can it be possible for a man
to be too generous. too kind, too
considerate, too indulgent too liberal
in his views of a Womans rights to
liberty of opinion, speech and action
1t would seem so. Because all tn csc
qualities William Ashe had in IN
usual degree and yet they are saying
that it was his fault that Lady Kitty
betrayed him. left him for Godfrey
Cliffe and came to a sad untimely
end
Such a conclusion, howveer. i'll ac-
cords with the facts in the case as set
forth by Mrs. Ward and are far from
consistent with the judgment the
world would pass upon a woman of
Lady Kitty's character in real life or
indeed, did pass upon the lady on
whose career Mrs. Ward is said to
have modelled her latest heroine, that
Lady Caroline Lamb whose mad, ro-
mantle passion for Lord Byron
(Geoffrey Cliffe) ruined her life. Not
/ that the judgments of the world are
always or even usually right, but why
judge book people and real people by
such different standards? There is a
strange tendency in this neurotic,
hysteria-governed age to apotheosize,
# masterfully presented as an art
subject. what it openly and publicly
condemned in life. The world is no
more generous in its judgments of the
woman who sins than ever, but If she
be the heroine of a successful book or
/ play or music-drama one goes crazy
about her. There is plenty of sym
pathy for the Masdalene of fiction
who doesn't need it=but we still pass
I by on the other side in the case of the

IS better that we should waste our
/ emotions on the former than that our
Iount of pity and charity should be

IN behalf OF some Of these unfortunate
nerolnes of fiction may have the eff
rect OF broadening and widening our

HE SOLVED
THE LABOR
QUESTION
Girl Berry PickerS Don Mems
Clothing and Do Good
Work

s. G. Ziegler has solved the labor
question, says a White Salmon corre-
spondent of the Hood River Glacier
He has the prize berry pickers for the
country. He also has the best looking
and most attractive "gang" in the
valley. Last year he decided that no
more women, with long skirts could
enter his patches. When he made his
contract this year with his 25 girls 1t
was stipulated that they would have to
wear trousers. The young ladies, all
from Mount Pleasant, demurred at
first, but after consideration of the
propriety in wearing real mans pants,
decided they would don the costume,
providing that no men should be al
lowed to work in the patches. This
was agreed to and the girls came deck
ed in man g attire for the task. A
jollier and happier crowd Of girls never
entered a berry patch. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ziegler have thrown open their large
home to the privilege Of the girls, and
merry time they all have:
One little brunette remarked to me
last week: " 1 never felt so much like
man in my life; I always did wan
to be a man, and am sorry that the
season is drawing to close. We hav'
had had royal treatment and have haC
jolly time"
To remember the occasion the girl
sent for Milton Helm, a Photographic
Of Hood River, and a group picture
was taken. II is needless to say th'
girls will refer to it many times late
and recall the time when they wor
pants and had the greatest time of thei
life.
