of women in your town do It. Follow
the world and not local set. You
will find that if you are right that set

Linen is proving preeminently the
modish material for the more sub.
stantial waists, but good linen IL ex'
pensive and for women who cannot
afford to pay high prices for their
waists there are models in madras
and in the serviceable English plaque.
One of the most popular which we
have seen is one with the short
sleeves with collar of either the high
flap turn-down type or with the low
collar turning away from the throat.
The latter, although 1t looks tempt
ingly comfortable for hot weather, can
be worn by few women past their
youth. With the high collar, however,
the waist becomes practical for any
one who can wear shirt waist at ALL
and though the idea of short sleeve
tailored waist strikes one at first as
inconguous, the actual thing is really
very attractive.
AS to frocks, soft silks, radiums,
foulards, ETC., are in favor. The Pc
king stripe radiums are very popular,
and there are many charming small
designs in the new foulards, combin-
ing shadow stripes and dots with
printed and broche figures in one har-
monious shadow.
Lace enters into the trimming of al.
most all of these frocks, and new ef-
fects are obtained by the insetting of
lace and the use of silk bands or
motifs applied over this lace, or by
the use of soutache braiding over in.

Just another word in addition to
what was said last week as to the
rage for white. 1t would hardly seem
necessary to say that the woman
over 40 is as free in her use of the
white costume as the younger woman,
for one at all in touch with the
whirl of modern life has ocular dem
onstration every day of this fact, but
those who do not live in the great
cities, and do not have dressmakers
who are constantly urging the wear
ing of clothes that grow younger and
younger, need reassuring on this
point
There is no denying that there has
been revolution in dress for elderly
women. We say revolution, but per-
haps 1t would be better to use the
term revival, for women of We olden
time did not wear the somber clothes
of the chimney corners because they
were past 40. In fact in those days
they led things with a high hand and
set the fashions, and true it is that
there Is suspicion that they dressed
entirely too much for their age. And
to-day there is heard the same kind
of gossip, but there is no reason what
over for young woman of 40 dom
ming somber clothes, and as to the
wearing of white, it is in the best of
taste, and generally most becoming.
There is no reason whatever for her
to wear clothes that differ in any re-
spect of color or style or fabric from
those the younger woman wears. The
only'injunction being that they must
be made in becoming style.
When woman gets too old for
pink. blue and majenta, she rightfully
adopts white and grey for her own.
fIut this age is not anywhere near 40.
II comes in somewhere near So or 60.
II is only question of time when
women everywhere will get used to
the verdict that black is necessary
for mourning and for nothing else, but
as we stated last week even in the
matter of mourning there is a change
taking place and white is coming into
hlvOr.
Wear black If you will but let it be
because you must be economical or
because you want one black gown be-
cause it is becoming. Don't say that
You do not intend to follow the fash
ions of those giddy butterflies who
want to appear young. Don't contend
that the ways of the city are not your
ways. Don't do an old fashioned, out
of date thing simply because group

Styles for the Boys and Girls

Fashion is turning her attention to
children's garments, and importations
In this direction show distinct and
separate influences for the two sexes.
For boys, English styles are eminent

coats and gowns must express the
Partisan touch. Even with garments
made in this country, London's taste
stamps the boy thing. and smart
mammas will spend much time in
choosing the correct English and
Scotch textures, which are first choice
everywhere for masculine wear.

acting the English styles for lads are

Longmont, Colo-Longmont was zen
fete" Thursday, the occasion being
Pumpkin Pie" day, an annual event of
much interest to this city and vicinity.
The celebration was even on grander
scale than ever before attempted and
passed off without hitch
The weather, barring slight shower
in the afternoon, was perfect and the
1000 visitors in the city enjoyed Long
mont's hospitality to the utmost, In
the morning there was a parade en-
bracinS many handsomely decorated
floats, cowboys and cowgirls, and hu-
morous features as well.
After the parade the crowds wended
their way to the park, where the pump
kin pies that made Longmont famous
and other light refreshments were
served. Notwithstanding that over
5000 pies had been baked, the crowd
was SO great that the pie supply was
exhausted.
In the afternoon an interesting pro-
gram of races took place at the
Longmont race track, which was at
tended by large crowd. An illumi-
mated parade in the evening ended the
days exercises.

the ultlmatum which Secretary Wilson
delivered to forty representatives of
various packing houses here Thursday.
Hereafter, if the packers want their
goods accepted for interstate shipment,
the packages must bear labels more
specific than those used hitherto. 1t
will not do, for instance, to state
merely that a package contains SOU

Ossaw atomic, Kan.-Here Thursday

place. Vice President Charles W. Fair.
banks delivered stirring address tc
5000 persons. The occasion was the
celebration of the fiftieth anniversary
of the battle of Ossawatomle in which
John Brown was central figure.
Vice President Fairbanks spoke OF
the stirring times that led up to the
border wars in Missouri and Kansas.
He told of the effect of these early
struggles upon the country's history
and from them drew a lesson for future
generations. He said in part:
This occasion takes our minds back
to a period of dramatic interest in
American history; to time when the
passions among the people were deeply
| stirred. The times then were omlnous.
The people could see the fast gather
ing clouds of an impending contest be-
tween the friends of freedom and slav-
cry for ultimate supremacy. 1t was a
day of acrimony, of bitterness, of sharp
Impeachment of the motives, the pur
poses and the patriotism of men.
I'VE have not come hither to awaken
which made this spot historic, but
rather to contrast the present with the
past; to recall the heroic services of
men in the interests of home and coun-
try, to kindle anew our patriotic zeal
and to glory inJthe triumphs of free
dom in America.
''The contest that followed the pas
sage OF the Kansas-Nebraska bill on
the soil of Kansas was unique in our
national experience. The war which
waged here was it's natural fruit. The
engagement was a sporadic outburst-
a stray shot upon the picket line and
truly presaged the larger engagements
of the mighty armies of the North and
of the South.
"The sad shadow of disunion has
passed and the North and the South
are knitted together by mutual respect
and love of common flag. Those who
opposed each other, in the great con-
flict glory in it's providential issue.
I'VE face the future radiant with
golden promise, resolved to make our
country greater than it is, greater in
material power, but greater than all
in the splendid character of its citi-
zenship; country where dominant
note shall be fair play for all the forces
which make for the advancement of
great. righteous people"
Following Mr.. Fairbanks. Senators
Benson and Long spoke. Senator Long
traced the strenuous times experienced
in Kansas and Missouri fifty years ago,
and spoke of the attack by four hun
dred Missourians on the village of Os-
sawatcmie, defended by forty men I'M
der John Brown. He continued:
"And so it is that today we meet
here not to revive the animosities and
the bitterness of those early struggles,
not to review the incidents of the war,
but to impress upon the people of Kan
sas and the people of the country that
on this soil the great struggle for the
determination of slavery really began.
1t is, indeed, appropriate that we should
have with us to-day the Vice President
of reunited country"
