With the excitement OF the holiday sea
son over and done with for another 10
months, the shops are turning their at
tention-and incidentally that Of their
cl1ents-to the dress fabrics and trim
mings that are to rule the fashionable
world during the coming spring and sum
mer months.
It assuredly does seem a trihe ineon-
gruous to purchase sheer organdies. ba-
tistes, linens and the like when the snow
is on the ground. 1t seems not only Ike
tnking old Father Time by the forelock.
but by the whole scalp as we'll.
However, 1t is the early bird that gets
the worm, or the early shopper gets alb
solutely the cream of the novelties.
The counters are piled high with SHIN
mering stufs, and the first thing that
strikes the eye OF the fashion-wise is the
fact that there is quite q high luster upon
each and every fabric. whether 1t be
wooden or silk or cotton.
The chiffon brOadcioths show not q sign
or even a hint of u waning vogue, despite
the fact chat there are several seasons of
popularity behind them. They are. II that
we're possible. even softer and thinner
and sheerer than ever before; but the
dull, dead suede finish that ushered in
the pioneers IN this fascinating fabric Is
missing. and in its place there is quite
rich shimmering satin finish.
Paris is waxing most enthusiastic over
what 1t calls the fire and fambeau shades
Those might well be translated as the
yeIlow-reds and the red-y ellows-just that
glamour of tints that one observes in a
fire fame. Gorgeous. indeed. are those
colorings. and they are literally employed
in both silk and woolens for all sorts of
purposes In broadcloth one of the latest
productions Is changeable fabric that
shows those shades; and it is not whit
less fascinating in the mahogany reds.
the rich reddish puppies and plums. and
some novel tints in green that are we'll
nigh fndescFibabIe by tongue or pen.
Rough and bouretted surfaces are con-
spicnously absent; and there is a delight
full air of richness and even extrava-
gance about even the least expensive OF
all the new showines. The woman of
limited purse will welcome some of the
novel cotton productions that afford all
the charm Of an expensive silk. Feel,
finish, fabric and cooring are each and
all equal to a silk. and the cost IS but
fraction of what the silk salesman pen
ellis on his slip when he foots up the
price of a purchase.
For the tnilor-mades. that are such an
essential to the most extraVagant, as
we'll as the most economically Inclined.
there are all sorts Of charming effects IN
checks and plaids. both mixed and
broken: and some novel stripes are sure
to meet with an enthusiastic acceptance.

Items Of Interest
to the ash
ionable.

The influence of the revival Of colonial
style is delightfully."- apparent In oil of the
new table linens and decorations. The ex-
IRENE of fussiness that married table
styles for quite sometime is altogether q
thing of the past; and a severe simplicity
has succeeded 10 the over elaboration that
not only tired the eyes of the guests. but
oftentImes taxed the ingenuity of the
hostess
Table linen is displayed with centers OF
plain and satin stripes alternating. the
borders being a simple but conventional
treatment of flowers or foliage or a ju-
dicious mingiing Of both. Intricate and
elaborate patterns are avoided. the aim
being one of n pure and chaste simplicity
The same applies TO upholstery stuffs.
Plan surfaces with a minimum of deco
ration for border is the rule. Rich vel
vets. exquisite satins and unobtruslve pat
terms in brocades. usually OF self-tones
and colorings. are what the best deco
rators are using. and the only trimming
is rich gimp or a gold or silver lace.
Russian laces are coming into an ex-
treme OF appreciation. and dealers report
that both for personal and household dec
ation the supply IS not by any means
adequate to the demand.
Those exquisite pieces that are wrought
for bed spreads. table coverings. window
blinds and such, In which squares of
hand-wrought flet laces are alternated
with squares Of embroidered handspun
and woven linen, have increased In value
some 80 per cent in the past year or two.

ouiy In certain surroundings
There are few places in the world SO
well calculated to set off a smart gown
as the long plazzas at the Royal Poineiana
at Palm Beach and as for the wraps
that the uncertainty of the climate after
shutdown demands well. they simply can
not be too sumptuous-that is. and still
remain well within the pale of good
taste and clever dressing.
Wheel chairs are an essential part of
the life Mt this resort, and a promenade
III a wheel chair permits of rather more
than little variety in dress. Since the

We come again with our
"School News" column, making
no apology for appearance. but
hopeful that it will be to the in
terest of our schools, as is our
aim, and not unappreciated by
any Of the readers Of this paper.
American people mean to be pro-
gressive and so do we in Baca
county. There is no better way
of building to this progress than
by securing the highest efficiency
of our schools. So our schools
should be of common interest: in
them our youth are trained for
citizenship. We believe that
schools and their interests are of
the most important of county af-
fairs. For these and other reas-
ons we shall thus endeavor to
bring school news and school

The Senate has taken up the
matter of Reed Shoots dismissal.
Senator Burrows of Michigan
made the opening address of the
debate. His impeachment of
Smoot was based entirely on his
(Smoot's) connection with the
governing body of the Mormons
as one of the twelve apostles,
which with their president as
sumo to rule in both material and
spiritual affairs. 1t was an able
summary of the evidence agaist
the senator. But when the de-
bate is finished and the final vote
is taken will the Senate stand by
right and decency, for the per-
petuity and sanctity of the home
like the House did a few years
ago in unseating Roberts? Or
will majority of the upper body
vote in Shoots favor to repay
some Indebtedness brought about
by its criminal delay in ousting
him and save this Republican"
