The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1906-05-10

THE following from the Oregonian
1 on "Promoting Growth of Social
ism" will doubtless be read with
considerable interest by our readers:
"Major Miller, a Pennsylvania mill
ionaire. whose fortune grew out OF coal
and steel mined and manufactured by
men whom God intended should enjoy
equal rights and privileges with Major
Miller, has just broken the record for
high.priced banquets In barbaric
splendor and cost, it far exceeds the
hundred housanddollar dinner which
the Equitable policy-holders provided
for Jimmy Hyde and few friends.
The cost of Major Miller's banquet was
sufficient to provide food for thousands
of starving people who exc cut mis-
cradle existence in the great cities OF
the East. Properly distributed, it
would have been sufficient to grant to
hundreds of striking miners the small
increase they ask in wages.
1t is this wanton waste of riches got
by an economic system that is all
wrong that accelerates the speed OF
this Nation toward social revolution,
and, the time is not far distant when
at some OF these banquets the Major
Millers, drunk with the wine of tinac-
al success and power, will be startled
by the appearance of handwriting on
the wall that will be appalling in its
significance. Perhaps it might be
termed a redeeming feature in the ma
ture of John d. Rockefeller that he
never flaunts his great wealth in the
faces of those whom he has robbed. In
avoiding publicity Of this nature, he,
OF course, exhibits an intelligence that
Is lacking in some of his fellow-million-
aires, who seem to delight in shaking
the red rag of af1luence and power at
the underfed and mistreated "bull' OF
common labor. Misery and starvation
are ever present in the tenement dis
trlcts of New York, as we'll as other
large cities, and within a radius OF
few miles of the scene Of that sybarltic
least of Major Miller's it is Il certainty

FALSE THINGS ALL THE RAGE
FOR WOMEN THIS WINTER
BY CYNTHIA GREY.

NEW YORK, Nov. III talked
today to Mrs. Rose E. Livingston,
dressmaker of Detroit, Mich,
who had just returned from Paris,
where she represented her firm.
OF course l began to ask her
about French winter dresses.
Women dress to look like old
pictures" was one of the first
things she said. "And everything
is false"
"False?" said I.
Eyes, pads, and plenty of them
and wherever there is a chance for
them. And false hair, too, is fash
ionable, False puffs, false curls,
false braids, false rolls, switches,
everything false. To be right in
style in the hair line one must
have loads and loads of hair. There
is where the old fashioned pic
lures come in again. The old
paintings show many styles of
hairdress which are today quite
the rage"
do the French women pad more
than American women"
yes. The French women are
not SO well formed as are the
American women. They do not
carry themselves so well, and they
have decidedly less style about
them. Any French costume is
made smarter by an American
touch"
what is the prevailing style in
dress?"
Empire effects, decidedly. The
woman who can't wear the empire
gown will do we'll to wear some
adoption of it,"
What is new in suits?'
Everything to be just right
must be three piece suit. For
instance, a wine colored suit con-
sists of a skirt and coat and a
cream colored bodice of lace trim
lHcu Win IllC Gull al
dallion, button or strap effects. In
some way the bodice worn with
the suit must match the suit. In
these three piece suits the Elton
jacket is quite the thing. The
Prince Chap coat is going out.
The Pony is still worn little
Are separate coats worm"
Yes, the long, loose ones are
smartest. Some are semi-fitting.
They are trimmed with braid
What are evening coats?"
Nothing especially new. They
are long, loose, with large sleeves,
and are trimmed with lace, velvet
and ribbon"
How are skirts made?"
every full, seven and nine cores
and plated. Princess gowns are
good
what are the evening gowns?"
Chiffon gowns trimmed with
bands of broadcloth of the same
color are good. Lace gowns are
worn great deal. They are made
worn great deal. They are made
with touches of color to give them
character. Blue is used with
black saw beautiful black
lace gown made with blue girdle
and blue bow at the front of the
corsage."
'Is chiffon velvet still used?"
eyes, for both evening and
street."
"How about the length of skirts
this season."
"The skirts are longer. The
street skirts just escape the
ground, while the evening gowns
are now made with a demi-train. +"

THE DAILY SHORT
STORY
THE CDAR CHEST.

"Pish," said Mr.. Yelverton.
Now it Is not agreeable to have
man say "pish" when you are be-
seeching him for his daughters
hand, and all because you have
only $4,000 a year and not $4,000.
1t was a shame. Louise and I
loved each other madly-young
people who are well regulated al
ways love each other that way
and l felt that this ultimatum was
outrageous.
Yelverton was an auctioneer,
but rich. He was musical, and
played the piano while Louise and
l naturally took advantage of the
fact that his back was turned.
"Still, Mr.. Yelverton," sug-
gested, "you won't object to my
coming to call, I hope?"
mot in the least" he said, eff
you-"
"And I do so enjoy hearing you
play" | added, hypocritically.
"Ah! All! Well, must say,
my dear you, you have good points
about you. Yes; do come when
ever you like-but mind, no love
making"
That night I took advantage of
his permission and range the bell,
armed with difficult Wagner
score, which knew would keep
Mr.. Yelverton in transports for
an hour at least. 1t did, and as he
thumped at the intricate chords
and resolutions, Louise and l whis-
pered softly in the corner of the
fireplace. At length he turned
around.
"Going to auction off fine lot
tomorrow" he said, addressing
me.
"So." inquired, with an affecta-
ton of deep interest.
Yes, sir-all that handsome
furniture of old man Gray's. Been
in the family hundred years, l
suppose. There's a cedar chest
you ought to see-wonderful! Bet
ter come and buy something" and
he laughed wickedly, thinking, no
doubt, of my finances.
Probably l WILL" I yawned,
carelessly, and dismissed the sub
ject.
Imagine my surprise when, next
morning l received a hasty and
inexplicable note from Louise,
bidding me attend the auction. and,
at all costs, to purchase the cedar
chest. There was no time for ex-
PLANTATION, so drew my little bal
ance and presented myself just In
time.
Cedar chest" Yelverton was
saying. Zine cedar chest. Hun
dred years old. Magnificent speci-
men. Worth $50 at least. How
much to start it,"
"a dollar" l said.

"There's nothing in it," said Mr..
Yelverton. you can open it and

but it's locked" protested the
possible purchaser.
"Well," said the auctioneer, sit
oughtn't to be. It was open an
hour ago. Never mind. Anything
