Many of the newest voiie gowns are
made UP over a bright plaid or check
silk lining. One exceptionally pretty
dress was of dark blue voile de sole
laid over a foundation of black and
white plaid silk through which ran

a collar and tiny round yoke of cream
lace, and the puffs at the elbow and
sleeve ruchings were of the same lace.
The yoke was .bordered with an en-
broidered band. of blue taffeta, and the
full puff sleeves were also strapped
with the silk. The skirt itself was
bordered with two bias silk bands. To
be worn with this gown when desired
was a little sleeveless bolero of blue
silk elaborately embroidered in the
same shade. The revers of the coat
when laid back revealed a lining of
Valenciennes and Brussels net over
foundation of white louisine. This cos
tune. while most effective, was not SO
conspicuous as TO be in bad taste, for
the colors were all sufficiently somber
to tone in together charmingly.

Costume Of Black Wolle

T is interesting to observe, where
q certain material returns to favor
after a brief absence. how fashion
able it at once becomes, so that it is
seen made UP in all manner of ways
and In all possible styles of dress.
Just at present this is the case with
yelling, or voile, as it must now be
named. From the heaviest quality, ap-
preaching closely to a canvas, TO the
finest grade OF voile de sole. yelling is
this season very much the rage. We
have simple shirt waist gowns of veil
ing, elaborate afternoon frocks of the
same material, while there are made
up as well street suits. travelling gowns
and separate walking skirts of all
qualities OF wolfe. Nor must the long,
loose, silk lined wraps of white wolfe,
trimmed with lace and silk. be omitted
from this category.
Although essentially a material suit
able for reception gown for summer
and autumn, a voile gown is also con-
sioereo quite appropriate for winter
house dress, and naturally II is just as
smart in the autumn as during the
early spring. One silk or silk lined
dress is necessary even in midsummer,
and for this purpose wolfe is desirable.
It is therefore well worth while to
have such a gown made UP even SO late
in the season as August, for 1t will
then be ready for the autumn cam
psiRn and will also be most useful to
have on hand at the beginning Of win-
ter. A voiIe coat and skirt costume,
II made up now. will do good service
during the autumn, for at no time is a
smart suit so necessary as at the end
OF the summer, when the spring suit
invariably looks poor and out of date.
The necessary white coat and skirt
costume, without which no summer
outfit IS complete. is particularly pretty
in q. light weight wolfe. trimmed with
bands Of silk and heavy lace collar and
cuns.
The color of yelling gowns is all i'm

WILL BUILD RAILROAD SURE
Men Back of Utah & Idaho Project
Reach Definite Decision
to Go Ahead.

Those who have charge of the deStinies
of the Utah e. Idaho railroad have again
changed their minds. and this time re-
new the announcement that the road
through the canyon will now surely be
built. A few days ago they came out
with the statement that they had en-
countered a number of difficulties which
would mean the abandonment of the
project, unless there was a change of
spirit upon the part Of those who were
opposing the movement
A meeting between the railroad people
and w. G.. Wilson of the board of county
commissioners and number of those
owning property in the county was held
yesterday. 1t developed during the meet
ing that the objections that had been
raised were the result Of misunder-
standing and when this was explained
away by the officials they again en-
dorsed the movement. Mr.. Eccles is au-
thority for the statement that the road
will now be built.
Simon Bamberger. president and general
manager of the Salt Lake d Ogden rail-
way. was in Ogden yesterday on his way
to Columbus, and said that irrespective
of the decision OF the Utah & Idaho rail-
road people in regard to the canyon line
IL would not in any way interfere with
his original plans.
In regard to the purchase of land in
Ogden City Mr.. Bamberger confirmed
the statement that he would erect shops
in Ogden.
1--WE will have repair shops" he said.
''at this end of the line, as well as in
Salt Lake; also loop for the turning
Of cars. as all cars will not run through
to the canyon. Ogden will be a terminal
as well as Salt Lake. Car crews will
start from both places"
In speaking Of the progress of the line
from Salt Lake to this city, Mr.. Bam-
berger said that they were laying steel
Just as fast as they could secure the nee
essary ties. and that they have rails de-
livered now sufficient for the entire line.
He said that the track had been laid
about three and one-half miles north of
Layton and that the grading had been
completed to within three miles of the
city. The work is being pushed as rap
idly as possible.

MUST GO TO SCHOOL.
Board Decides to Enforce CompuI-
sorry Education Law.

By Their. action last evening the board
of education indicated that they would
not tolerate the absence of pupils from
the schools. This followed the report of
superintendent Allison which showed that
there was an unusual number of boys who
failed to attend school the past month,
the total number being 4.575. The board
decided to enforce the compulsory educa-
ton law which provides that all children
between the ages of and is must be in
school at least thirty weeks each year.
The superintendent report also showed
forty-six cases of hardness on the part
Of the teachers and he was instructed to
notify them that hereafter they will be
expected TO be at the school at the pre-
scribed hour each morning. The buildings
and grounds committee reported that the
Lewis school had been completed and &C
cepted from the contractors. The final
amount due Contractor Whitmeyer of
81. 22L64, was ordered paid. a bill from
Halverson Bros. for 1877 for plumbing
and heating at the same school was also
allowed. The president and clerk were
instructed to secure a &c. 900 loan for cur
rent expenses until the tax money is re-
celVed.
