A DECIDED SUCCESS.

A DECIDED SUCCESS.
The Institute held at Washburn
the past week is now a part of our
county history. Now that the
weeks work is completed, a more
comprehensive view is obtainable.
The enrolment did not reach the
expectations of the Conductor and
the County Superintendent, yet
the conditions were not what was
anticipated.
Many teachers made great effort
and showed keen professional in
terest by coming long distances
and disregarding the weather.
The Instructors were full of inter-
est and enthusiasm, which helped
to make the work instructive and
beneficial. The keynote of the. in
stitqte was that intense study and
instruction should be the teachers
object. That subjects should be
made vitality clear and lucid in or
der chat pupils would be eager to
learn and appropriate the essen
.tials .of4an education.
Great stress was placed on the
Importance Of the teachers pro-
.fession. No teacher could afford
to do less than the highest stand
ard of work that would prepare the
pupils for noblest citizenship.
The County Superintendent,
Mr.. Olson and Mrs. Jenness, did
good service in providing pleasant
homes fort the teachers and instruct.
ors, and in their plans for the vari-
GUS entertainments.
The instructor in primary work,
Miss Corbitt, proved herself well.
fitted to impart the latest and.
choicest ideas in that phase of a
child's life, while Mrs. Whitman
was we'll prepared to present her
subjects clearly and effectively.
The Conductor, Supt. j. f. Koch
Ter, of Grafton, N. D., demonstrated
most clearly that he has had a rich
and broad experience in institute
work. His presentation of subjects
is clear, forceful, live and most in
teresting, being based on the sound
est pedagogical principles and the
latest ideas of psychology. Mr..
Kehler's instruction and sugges-
tions are exceedingly helpful and

For years my wife suffered intensely
from dyspepsia, complicated with tor

ed over the shoulders, Puritan fashion
is fichu of cream embroidered lawn
edged with tiny val lace above a chem
isette and high collar of plated muslin.
Around the neck is a band of black
velvet tied in a chic bow under the
chin. The elbow sleeves are finished
with frills of accordion plated gray
chiffon, and the undercun is of en-
broidered lawn tied at the wrist with
small bows of black velvet Another
simple little gray gown is of crepe de
chine, and Russian lace insertion ap-
pears in band on the skirt and on
the bodice.
The chiffon muff is an airy fairy finish
to the spring toilet approved by the fair
Parisienne. She finds it a useful rest
ing place for her bunch of violets, and.
again, there is a certain amount of
warmth in its dainty folds. To wear
with the chiffon nuff are fluffy dchus
of the same fabric, which are more be-
coming and elegant than the square
stoles of last year.
A charming demiseason hat is a fiat
toque of crumpled taffeta trimmed with
a double border of small pink roses in
festoons covered with a long, spotted
veil of dotted brown net reaching to
the waist in the back. The long falling
wells look old fashioned and, in my
humble estimation, nothing more.
The new way of wearing the hair will
soon do away with the veil which hangs
down the back, as one is not given to
hiding a novelty. This couture Is
rather intricate to do though simple
! in effect. The hair is formed at the
| back into two loose French twists
which meet in the center. where they
are held together in three places by
slim. long pins made especially for the
purpose. The ends of the hair are pref
tiIy coiled above the ponpadour.

~ ARTS, March 5.-To have her
portrait hung on the line at the
portrait exhibition at the club
in the Rue d'Anglais is the am
bition of the social climber here in
Paris. In fact, this accomplishment is
considered the first step on the rung
of the ladder which may carry one into
the gaubourg set. If ones purse is not
equal to the strain of so expensive a
step the next best thing is to mingle
with the smart crowd and in a ''to be
heard" voice give ones opinion upon
the dear duchess taste in dress and
the excellence of the likeness vuI-
gar, is it not? But unfortunately it's
the way of what is called the smart
set.
The sensation of the show has been

nee Gould, painted by Carolus-Duran.
The work is a beautiful study in har-
monious coloring and portrays the
pretty children in a natural manner.
A garden forms the background, and
the three little ones, two of whom are
boys dressed in scarlet knickerbocker
suits, stand on each side of baby girl
who is seated comfortably in a chair
The American countess showed her an
probation of the art by appearing at
the club rooms early in the afternoon
This petite lady caused quite a ripple
of sartorial excitement in her charming
costume of soft white cloth. The skirt,
which was beccmtngly full. had broad
insertion of an elaborate design in
white silk braiding outlined with green
silk thread. A high white suede belt
embroidered with green silk seemed to
hold a simple blouse corsage to the
figure. over the shoulders an original
cape effect was produced by lose
tabled and braided bolero. Pipings of
green taffeta separated each piece of
cloth, while green velvet collar above
the braiding finished the ensemble. A
large white hat trimmed with pale
green plumes shading to white was
very becoming to madame's brunette
beauty.
The salon contained a small world
of women beautifully turned out" and
every one of them seemed to be most
induStriously making use of the look
ing glass panels which at intervals sep
arate the walls. 1t really seemed to me
as If every other mirror had at least
one woman in front of it arranging her
hair, her hat or her complexion. Per
fectly gloved hands were forever at the
back of artisticalIy arranged heads
feeling if all was right with the pref
tily dyed hair. You will doubtless

center plat with wrist ruffies of the
same. A sailor tie of black soft satin is
edged with the lingerie frill.
Speaking of shirt waist gowns, the
newest material for this useful frock
is the old time scriIn of which we have
made curtains and dressing table COW
ers for years. I suppose the craze for
Russian cross stitch is responsible for
the elevation of scrim to the realm of
gowndom, and, anent cross stitch, it
will be welcome news to the tired
worker thereof to know that this much
liked trimming comes with many light
summer fabrics as a border and is sold
separately in any length the purchaser
requires.
Pinkish gray is a favorite spring
shade, and when trimmed with pinked
out ruches combining the two colors a
gown of this tone is most attractive.
A dainty costume in pink gray wolfe has
a touch of black and silver in the
"scrolly'' braid heading the hounce, and
a unique feature is hemstitched frill
of fine white muslin as the defining line
of a cunning little boiero which clips
the figure in just above the line of the
waist.

forms a pretty as we'll as serviceable
present, for it is by no means the frag-
lie thing it seems. The flowers are FIX
ed on a foundation, into which the rea-
mutt is slipped. and this may be of sa-
BILE, ermine, moleskin or, in fact, what
ever the generosity or means of the
bridegroom may suggest. Some of the
frillings to the flower muffs are of real
lace. SO that altogether the dainty to-
ken is by no means inexpensive, often
indeed, costing far more than a piece
of jewelry.

of these coats have about them an old
world air that is very alluring. They
are particularly nice as summer wraps,
to be slipped on when the weather for
gets itself and tries to be frosty. Ecru
or putty white is a good color to select
for this utility garment, as it looks well
with any gown one may happen to
wear, and the new heavy grosgrain
pongee is the correct material from
which it is fashioned. Wool lace eight

of the coat, this lace exactly harmonic
ing with the cloth.

summer, and If the war keeps on the
