EAUTIFUL lamps are an absolute
necessity in the modern drawing
room, living room and dining room
~ They may be electric lights IN dis
guise. gaslight or the old-fashioned
kerosene lamps. but. however this may be,
the effect OF the lamp is the same, and 1t
has never yet been bettered by the most
up-to-date electric light bulb or gas fixture
The vogue of the lamp carries with 1t the
vogue OF the lamp shade. Voluminous and
lacy It has been draped over colors fan
tastic. elaborate and expensive. Artistic
and beautiful it has come to be. The very
newest thing IN lamp shades IS both ar
tistic and inexpensive and has the great
advantage of being adaptable 10 any room
and any occasion. This Is positive adj
vantage. for the oriental lamp shades. beu-
tifui as they are. are out OF place In many
pariors whose furnishings have no rich
oriental colorings, and the lace and silk
draped shades are equally inharmonions
amid the everyday surroundings of the or
dinary living room.
But the new idea in lamp shades labors
under none OF these limitations. II en-
braces every order of decoration which can
be included among designs based on nat
ural motifs. and Is suitable alike for the
most delicate drawing room and the most
useful living room

spending to those shown in the design for
the center of the table and a small bouquet
or single flower in a little silver vase at
each guests place will make an exquisite
decoration for a small luncheon. 1t will
be infinitely more effective and much new
er than the plain color decora tions which
have been used for so long.
Of course, If the woman can paint 1t is
even better, for then the design carried out
by her centerpiece and candle Shades is un-
limited. large dish of grapes for a CEN
terpiece, green and purple and translucent,
may then be supplemented by grade candle
shades. or she may have a mirror reflect
ing a bowl of water lilies in the middle of
the table and water lily candle shades. In
any event, the flower and fruit lamp and
candle shades which may be evolved from
wall paper and water-color designs will
add greatly to the variety of decorations
which comes within the reach of the mod
crate purse.

Dlshcloth Lore.

Many are the housekeepers that fail with
regard to their dishcloths and consider any
old rag that falls to their hands good
enough for the purpose. 1t cannot be too
strongly insisted on that dishcloths, and.
in fact, all kitchen cloths. should be made
of coarse but durable material which will
bear the scrubbing. scalding and disinfect-
jected. 1t is not an uncommon thing for
ca reless persons who do not recognize the
necessity for scientific cleanliness but who
are in other respects admirable housekeep-
ers to use old bits of underwear or stock
irgs for dlshclOths. thinking that IL
these have been thoroughly washed In wa
ter they have been sufficiently disnfected.
This. however, Is great mistake. Stocki-
net is too close a. material as well as not
strong enough to bear the continual wear
crash for this purpose and cut 1t in suit
able lengths. hemming each piece and keep
ing them especially for this use and no
other. Put supply of dishcloths through
the wash each week, replacing those that
have been In use with fresh ones.
Other kitchen cloths should be of strong
cotton stockinet For this purpose rem
nants of an underwear factory may often
be purchased for a few cents per pound
CASTOR clothes become too thin by use to
make durable scrubbing cloths.
Remnants of stockinet bought by the
pound vary In size and may be utilized for
various cloths in the kitchen. This stockf-
net can be scalded repeatedly. but when 1t
becomes too stif for use 1t should be
burned.

gown Is embroidered the girdle should be OF
wide gilt or silver braid. In fact, this gold
or silver embroidery is not confined to cloth
gowns alone. but is employed on silk ana
chiffon as well. The ribbon work embroid-
cry also is fashionable, but is seen more
on chiffon and silk than even the most elab-
crate cloth costumes For cloth ecru Is a
fayorite shade and looks well with gold
trimming, while old rose, pink and the many
shades of blue fashionable last spring are
all still in demand.
Cashmere and henrietta cloth are now
made up so elaborately as to take their
stand among the more expensive materials.
The texture is attractive more for It's coll
orings than anything, but 1t hangs grace
fully and can be trimmed to great adyau-
tags. Narrow side-plaited ruchings of silk
matching the shade of the costume first
became popular last spring. but their vogue
has outltved the summer and they are seen
on a number of smart importations For
gowns OF henrietta cloth these ruchings
and also plated ruchings of Valenciennes
lace seem the favorite adornment cloth
gown, however light In co!oring and tex
ture, should have considerable white near
the face Deep yOkes and vests formed of
lace joined at the edges or of lace ruch-
ing attached to thin chiffon lining are al
ways attractive, while half sleeves of white
lace and chiffon below the cloth pun show
that the guimpe has not yet been hidden In
opscurlty. For simple house gown this
henrietta cloth Is both pretty and inexpen-
sYe, put IL is as yet scarcely smart enough

sessing some of the tones OF orange red

any OF the three. The gown of this shade
should be made simply. depending upon the
color for effect. One fame-colored taffeta
gown was very handsome The bodice was
made with deep yoke and vest of cream
colored lace. while suspender straps of the
SILK, edged with double lace and silk
ruchlng. were brought up over the shoulders
Inc sleeves were elbow length, fashioned
with a full, stiff puff at the shoulder, mar
rowing down to a four-inch band of lace
edged with ruching at the elbow. The skirt
was full over the hips, but trimmed only
below the knees with narrow ruffies OF plait-
ed silk and lace

one is spunk. This word, as the dictionary
SHOWS us, goes all the way back through
various languages to the early Greek, where
II meant touchwood or wood that would
aeaally take hre; hence spunky person is
one whose temper takes fire at a touch
Hurry, furry, scurry are all words that
convey the thought of haste, with some
times the addition of confusion There is
not IN the language a more dsdainful Word
than spurn or e. more pathetic word than
squaior. The word tenure, used in legal
conveyances and Indispensable in defining
the terms by which we rent or buy real
estate, comes to us from the Latin and sig
nffes to hold.

tune Of black and white lace. Just now
only the most deliberately fashioned gowns
of this description are approved the lace,
If not real, is at least of the finest imita-
tion, while the amount of hand work on
the gown would at first appear incalcula-
Bile. The lace must be made up on or join
ed by bands of chiff0n-there is far more
lace than chiffon visible even on the SIM
plest models-while the most effective of all
lace costumes are those deliberately en-
broidered in jet or in black, silver or iri-
ing picked out in the paillettes. All black
and all white lace gowns also make effec-
tive costumes for the afternoon with per-
haps a touch of color in the girdle or on
the sleeve. Both black and white lace may
be worn over a colored silk lining but un-
questionably the solid shade is the more
effective. Bright steel or soft iridescent
spangles are TO be much used as trimming
this year and to brighten up otherwise
rather sonlber material For lace or chif-
fon yoke or vest. particularly with a Co.'S
tune of black and white lace, spangle or
jet trimming will often render the gown
doubly handsome and also it can frequently
be employed to refreshen gown no longer
new.
Particularly to young girls chiffon is more
becoming than any other texture, and there
should be no debutante without white or
deep cream chiffon or chiffon cloth frock
The unusual color combinations fashionable
at the moment can be better carried out in
chiffon than in silk, owing to the transpar-
ency of the texture. Figure shows a gown

Real Usefulness
Of the Dictionary

A good dictionary is one of the neces-
sary equipments of the cultivated home.
1t is as needful a piece of furniture as
the chair on which one sits, the table at
which one writes and the bed on which one
sleeps A house without dictionary is a
poorly furnished house.
Some people fancy that the chief use
of dictionary is to show how words should
be spelled; others limit its use largely to
definitions. but a dictionary Is worth much
more than mere spelier and definer Be-
sides these functions 1t includes the whole
wonderful story of the human language and
indicates how the stream of literature has
flowed on and on from the very earliest
days of written speech. The languages in
which We converse with one another and
ty which we write are the composite pro-
0lctions of many ages. and our noble Eng
lish tongue. SO copious flexible and rich
is derived from other tongues which have
been spoken and written on this earth of
ours during the long centuries.
All the languages OF Europe have a GER
tain kinship and common ancestry in
oriental tongues. We talk rather stupidity
about dead languages. by which we mean
SUCH languages as Hebrew, Greek and
Latin. Practical men discuss the question
whether or not their sons and daughters
shall spend valuable in acquiring
these. One man decides that his boy shall
not stuGy Latin. as 1t would be. In his view
waste Of time. but he is quite willing to
let him study Spanish and French, which
are widely spoken tongues of today and
both of which are direct descendants of the
magnificent Latin tongue.

sidered that these lands WILL in few
years be opened to actual settlers in
S0-acre tracts, the loss of $4,000 to
tn estate of California will add $50
prosperous families to the population
of that part of the state, each on so
acres of first quality soil under the
homestead law at just the cost of re-
clamation and irrigation. while these
lands would have cost the settlers, in
addition to reclamation, from $40
to $50 an acre. II they had gone into
the hands of land-grabbers.
1t is alleged that the sugar trust
was on the point of gobbling UP these
valuable lands through dummies,
when the plans were frustrated by the
legislature of California ceding the
lands to the government. 1t will be
remembered that there was some op-
position in the legislature to the ces-
sion of these lands at the time. and 1t
can readily be imagined where the
sinews of war came from to oppose
the cession.
1t Is stated that the purpose OF the
sugar trust in acquiring these lands
was to rent or sell them to parties
who would raise sugar beets to sup
ply an immense factory to be erected
on the ground.

One hundred and fifty Christmas
dinners will be served to poor fami-
lies in Pendleton by the Salvation
Army on Saturday. December 2S.
Arrangements are being made be-
tween Captain Holder, of the Saliva
tion Army, and City Superintendent
Traver, of the public schools to have
each pupil in the public schools bring
one penny, one potato and one apple
to school on Thursday, December 21,
to be collected by the officers of the
army and used in preparing the
Christmas dinners.
The dinners will be prepared in
boxes, each box to contain the entire
dinner for each family to be served,
and on Saturday evening before
Christmas, these boxes will be deliv-
cred over town to list of families al
ready prepared.
The dinners will consist of chicken,
potatoes, salads. celery. cranberries,
cake and other substantial and plain
foods and will be prepared by exper-
fenced cooks.
Parents and pupils are urgently re-
quested to see that the penny. the po-
tato and the apple are taken to school
by each pupil, on December 81. The
money so collected will be used in
purchasing the chickens for the din
ner, the potatoes for the salads and
the apples for pies. Other provisions
will also be purchased with the money
derived from this collection and It is
hoped that Pendleton responds liber-
ally and cheerfully to this mission.
The army officers find quite a
number of needy families in the city
and all such have been listed and
each will be served with dinner on
Saturday evening.
On Monday night, December 25, the
Salvation Army will give a Christmas
tree entertainment at the barracks on
West Webb street to which everyone
is cordially invited Sto attend. a
large tree will be prepared and all
who desire to donate small gifts for
poor children in the city may rest as
sured that all such gifts will be
promptly delivered.
Captain Holder wishes to make this
one of the brightest Christmas sea-
sons ever enjoyed by the needy fami-
lies In the city, and to this end in
vites the cooperation of all in his
work.

WHEAT CONVENTION.
New Departure in Agricultural Edu-
CatiOnals.


A wheat convention is planned for
the winter school to be held for the
farmers in the Washington State col
lege at Pullman. The convention Is
called to investigate wheat, the prin-
cipal product of agricultural counties
In eastern Washington. Farmers,
millers. shippers and all those inter-
ested in wheat are invited. and a spe-
cial effort will be made to get them
to attend.
II is expected excursion rates will
be granted by both railroads and that
the convention will be attended by
several hundred persons who are di-
rectly interested in the product under
discussion.
The matter has been under consid-
Grafton for several weeks by the agri-
cultural department of the college
and inquiries have been made among
millers, wheatgrowers and others in
terested in the wheat industry. The
state grain commission has heartily
endorsed the project.
The convention will continue a,
least three days, and experts in wheat
growing, milling. shipping, etc, will
be on hand and will deliver addresses
on the wheat industry. In addition to
the lectures, much time will be de-
voted to a study of the market con-
ditions, shipping facilities and the use
! of the by-products of wheat to the
best advantage.
The convention will begin the Sec
ond week in January. and continue
for an entire week IL the interest and
attendance will justify. Many prom
inent millers of the northwest have
signified their intention OF attending
this convention and have given 1t q
| hearty endorsement

Frederick Fisher, the artist, is
again in Pendleton and has been Wis
lting with his friend, Major Lee Moor
house, for whom he painted several
Indian pictures when last here. From
here 1t is Mr.. Fishers intention to
leave for the south, where he will
spend some little time. after which he
will go to New York. From there he
intends going to Paris, and he says
he may remain four or five years
this time.
One of the objects of Mr.. Fishers
present visit Is to paint an Indian
from life, something which few ar
tists have done owing to the difficulty
In getting subjects TO pose. However,
Major Moorhouse has promised to use
his influence in securing a suitable
Indian for the occasion, and 1t is
probable the painting will be made.
While in the city Mr.. Fisher has
several of his paintings, those made
from the Moorhouse pictures, on ex-
hibit at the Henneman cigar store
Also, 1t liz probable that he will leave
number of them with Major Moor
house, should they not be all sold
when he leaves
Practically all of the work which
Frederick Fisher does is along the
line of portrait painting. This he
holds Is the most interesting, though
he has also done some animal and
landscape work. For time Mr.
Fisher was engaged as an artist or
one of the Chicago dailies, but does
not like journalistic work. He has
never done any cartooning. While he
usually outlines a sketch before max.
ing painting, he made a very salts.
factory portrait of his father recently
without the aid Of such. At that time
the old gentleman, who is the senior
member of the firm of Fisher-Thor.

ment his son requested him to remain
while he painted his portrait, ant
though the work was hastily done, II
