cred depths for her themes.
SO when she put gold spangles on a
sulphur colored satin skirt under five
falls of chiffon, through which one only
got the dullest and least occasional
glints. she was expressing u thought
that only a graduate in clothes mysti-
cism could appreciate. She called it
the harp of thousand strings" and
let it go at that.
Then she put forth a creation Of
peach colored velvet with a little Irish
point lace coat, and she hung a few
crushed plum colored roses about the
bodice and called the thing lure to
happiness"
Violet embroidered mousseline de
sole over Il deeper shade of taffeta
with transparent sleeves and a garland
of pearls about the shoulders, was "a
wave of glory from a distant shore; ;
surely an inspiration for youthful
widow who had passed the teething
stage of her bereavement.
These We're only few of the simple
ones in style and treatment and title
but of the many shown on the tall
models during long afternoons in those
moss green parlors there were dozers
purchased by peers. earls and a few
dukes and their wives who came to
have a cup of tea and pick out some
thing soulfully lovely for the next
garden party or wedding in st.
Georges.
OF course, London is magic mad and
is finding the occult in everything, from
Japanese crystals to the American
cakewalk, but the mystical thought eX-
pressed in costumes was one of the
greatest things that ever came there
since the obelisk was t1oated down the
Thames and set up on the embank-
ment.
Here in America we have unconsci-
ously exploited the idea for ma ny sea-
sons, during which we have been in
dustriously eliminating evil things in
the way of dress street sweeping trains

I form to the higher paid positions
of responsibility. Although the
wages paid employees by the cleo

of work, the opportunities for
advancement are what are especially
attracting a superior class of men.
Thousands, undoubtedly, of the ambi-
tious have been incited by the example
of street railway kings of today, who
only a few years ago occupied humble
positions at small wages.

American men set an example TO the
world in this respect. on the cOnti-
nent you see masculine creatures
sporting the most absurd togs for trav-
cling, or cloaked in frigid shawls like
bearded ladies on tour. Then the de-
lightful truth dawns distinctly upon
you that we are after all distinctly

whatever advantage seniority i'm art
and culture gives to the old world peo-
pie our fashions in drsss for men are
saner, finer and more manly.
OF course, our men are not so easy
in their wearing of evening clothes as
the Englishman, nor so dapper as the
Frenchman, but this Is a fault of our
youth and is again an occult express
sion of the fact that we are not yet
socially developed The actor who
comes on like a lurid sunburst in black

But it is the dress that is conveying
the impression, mark you, and not the
man. just as the frayed, carefully
brushed, tightly buttoned condition tells
its own pathetic tale-a sad little story
that we can read so often.
And then there is the comedy that
we gather from the young man of en-

A THOUGH less than twenty years
~ have passed since it was first
proved in Richmond, Va, that
there were commercial possibilities in
the overhead trolley the profession of
electric railroading has already become
SO well esta blished that all sorts of
young men are getting into it.
1t is again reported this fall from
several districts of the middle west

Then there was e. G. Foster who
some years ago drove one of the old
fashioned horse cars between the cities
of Lynn and Boston, and who, after a
remarkably successful career. in which
he bore a part in laying out for Boston
its present rapid transit system, was
chosen president of the street railway
company in New Orleans.
Still another instance is that of Hugh

wear to funerals with propriety.
Knowing this she avoids IL and goes
to the Office in startling pompadour
under stunning hat with six plulnes
an open work waist, stockings to-match
and n vanity bag.
Her employer is vaguely impressed
with something he cannot understand
poor man. But it is her manner OF
dressing that is appealing to certain
unused brain lobes. The show girl
catches nine out of ten men either on
the stage or as n typewriter. And so
it is that these girls are marrying ali
the wealthy men while the industrious
little girl in the black gown and stout
shoes keeps on shaving to the end of
the chapter. Her dress tells the truth,
and that is something no woman must
ever do If she wishes to charm men.
Symbols and other Things
1t was not until a smart London
mediste begin to exploit the occult idea
seriously, season or two ago, that Wo.
men commenced to understand why It
was that three feathers in the hair,
with Il court veil and a bouquet, made
even a plain looking woman suggest
pomp, royalty, power.
Feathers have always stood for rank,
and the plume invariably signifies cere-
mony and state, whether ii is on Il
hearse or the head of an Indian chief
The feather is the symbol of pomp,
just as white muslin is innocent and
black velvet Is stately. The reason for
this lies not in custom, but in the line
and texture and color of the plume
itself. So we wear six in our hats this
season to emphasize the fact that we
are not nuns. And so the cardinal
cloak and the soldiers coat speak to us
eloquently.
The London dressmaker made some
thing of IA furore among the English
fashionables when she began to put
tears and smiles into lace and taffeta.
She seized upon an old motif and

The American woman needs no Jap

She takes Il daily hint from Paris, en-

in the world"
Our horse show has become one of
the greatest dress meets in the world,

successfully with the cogs and levers.
The modern mans dress in this
country expresses this sort of thing,
and does so very mysteriously rather
by an absence of things, lack of
color and a sparsity of what in a wom-
ans dress we call lines. Even the
least little touch of gayety blights n
man these days. and only a broker or
an actor can afford TO wear bou-
tonnier.
You may have admired a man for
some masterful attainment-the dis
covery of a new star or a smashing
game of polo. but if, when you meel
him, you find him with u pale blue
band on his hat and a diamond horse
shoe in his scarf, his mere humanity
is at once apparent to you-he is
throwing away an Invisible aureole for
the sake of little sparkle in his neck
tie.
American Men Manly
And so loud checks, violently striped
shirts that light up WELL in the haber-

Misfits, of course, occasionally get ir

the rounds of the press a short time ago
of a new conductor on Il New York
street car whose attention was called
by an official of the company to the
fact that his register showed only eight
passengers while he actually had nine

"Begorra, sir, you're roight," the man
replied; promptly stopped the car, and

Last night Sheriff f. d. ellison, of
Adams county. Washington, passed
through here with John Partin. the
last of a gang of four horsethieves
that has been operating over the coun-
ties of eastern Washington. Another
member OF the same crowd is Willis
Thorp, who was arrested at Echo a
few weeks ago on orders from Ellens-
burg Alva Thorp, a brother of the
man arrested here, is now awaiting
trial in Adams county, while the other
man, who is also named Partin, has
been sent to the penitentiary from
Ellensburg.
At the time of the arrest of Willis
Thorp there were warrants out for
him from both Kittitas and Adams
counties. After he was taken up here
there was a race for the prisoner be-
tween the authorities of the two
counties, in which the man from FL
lensburg was first to arrive in Pendle-
ton.
John Partin, the prisoner taken
through last night, was arrested a few
days ago in Grant county by Sheriff
Ambrose, after he had been located
by Sheriff ellison, OF Ritzville. He
was taken to Baker City and there
turned over to the Washington man
yesterday After he had been taken
by Sheriff ellison, honors were even
between him and the sheriff of Kit
titas, as each officer had two men,
bers of the horse stealing crowd.
In speaking of the prevalence OF
horsethieving in his county, Sheriff
Gibson said last night that more trou-
BILE is occasioned by such than all
other lawbreakers combined "Almost
every week" said he, 1--WE are placed
on the track of a new horsethief, and
we are kept constantly busy securing
the country for them. AS rule, the
thieves work in pairs or gangs. One
man picks up a horse, takes 1t over
into an adjoining county. where is is
disposed OF by one OF his pals. Many
of them are men who have been doins
the same business right along, and
when one is convicted I like to see
him get the limit"
According to Sheriff ellison jai
break was attempted at Ritzville no
long ago by an imprisoned horse
thief. At favorable opportunity the
prisoner threw some pepper into the
eyes of the jailer and made a dash fol
liberty. However, as he rounded thu
court house he was shot in the hip by
the deputy and thus his flight inter
rupted.

Assessor C. p. Strain returned Sun
day morning from Portland, where he
attended the assessors convention last
week.
Ninteen assessors We're in attend
ance as we'll as the members of the
state tax commission and an interest
ing and profitable meeting was enjoy
ed
Great interest was taken in the pro-
ceedings and shorthand report was
taken by the tax commission for fu-
ture reference in formulating assess
ment and taxation laws. The assess
ors present expressed themselves free
ly upon all the subjects UP for dis
cussion, and it is the general belief
that a broad and comprehensive as
sessment law will be formulated by the
tax commission to suggest changes in
the assessment laws and that until
this commission is thoroughly tried.
no general meddling with laws on this
subject should be permitted by the
legislature. The commission was ap-
pointed for the purpose of investigat-
ing the needs OF the state and will

laws with view to simplifying them
and of securing the greatest possible
returns from intangible property
values.
Mr.. Strain feels that great good to
the state will come from the meeting
of the assessors, since it will serve to
acquaint the different officers with
conditions in different parts of the
state and will tend to more justly
equalize assessments and assessment
methods throughout the state.
One growing demand noticed from
every part of the state is that intangi-
bic properties, such as franchises and
privileges should be taxed more than
at present. This class of property
yields enormous incomes and escapes
its share Of taxation, and the senti-
ment of both the tax commission and
assessors was that something should be
done to bring more of this kind OF
property to light.

Caught in n Hot Roller at Local

Grace Elder, an employe of the Do
mestic laundry, suffered a severe in
jury by having her right hand burn

to the one in which Margaret Bush
was injured year or more. ago. How
ever, Miss Elder was not so badly
burned, and DIR. Smith, who attended
her, says no serious results will come
from the burn. The back Of her hand
was burned from the wrist to the fin
gers, but the roller in which It was
caught was not very hot at the time.
After the accident Miss Elder stated
that the injury was the result of her
own carelessness, as she had been
often cautioned by Manager Robinson
to be more careful about the machine.

Ancient crist Mills.

The city of Rome was supplied
with no fewer than fourteen aque-
ducts, not necessarily for drinking
purposes, because it always had the
river, which afforded copious food
of fresh water, but for the sake of
convenience and especially to supply
the baths and drive the water mills,
most of which were located under
Mount Janiculum. 1t was these
water mills which made Rome a
great manufacturing city. They
were employed in innumerable arts,
and gave rise to endless mechanical
inventions and improvements. When,
in the sixth century, the Cloths laid
siege to Rome and cut off the aque-
duct water, Belisarius established q
series of floating boat mills on the
Tiber, which, being driven by the
current, enabled the accustomed in
dustries to be resumed. Grist mills
driven by streams or the wind were
common in the rural districts, the
more ancient ones pounding the
corn in gigantic mortars, the i'm
proved ones grinding it between re.
volving stones.
