would broaden into a ripple of sheer
amused laughter, while my poor model
strobe from the room indignant at the
ridicule.
And then the laughter would stop,
and the scoffer be surprised into a
half-unWilling admiration of the grace
full, swaying figure, it's beautiful con-
tour outlined, defined, emphasized by
the clinging, sheath-like skirt.
The very woman who will raise an
objection to the Paquin skirt will go
to glorious struggle with the surf,
accompanied by several men of her
acquaintance; and emerge looking like
nothing quite so much in the world
as beautiful, unconscious sea-nymph
Is she immodest? Certainly not one
American woman in thOusand-no,
nor one in a hundred thousand, would
call her SO. Yet this same woman will
sit down and think for long time be-
fore she will commit herself to a
gown that so much as suggests the
gracious curved lines of her body
And her French sister, who will de-
plore with significant gestures of up
; raised hands and shoulders the i'm
modesty of mixed bathing, and will
be decorously rolled to the edge of
the water in her bath wagon, will
adopt the new skirt with no compre-
hension of the qualms of the Ameri.
can.
Perhaps it is because have lived so
much abroad that l can see more easi.
ly and clearly from the French point
of view than from the American And
then to me the possibilities of beau
ty in something new appeal most pow
erfully. ..
Yet in reality the Paquin skirt is not
new, nor can we claim it as an ex-
elusive invention of the twentieth cen
tury. More than 100 years ago the
French recognized it's possibilities and
developed them into what have come
down to us as the Directoire styles.
Not of the skirt alone is this true,
but of the coats that accompany it.
Short-waisted affairs they are, with
full cutaway skirts, overelaborate,
fanciful if you will, but graceful and
charming nevertheless.
It may take little time before the
American woman will give the Paquin
skirt her generous, unqualified ap-
proval. But 1 am optimistic, and 1
fimly believe that year by year we
grow in appreciation of the beautiful,
in broader conception of the true
significance of lovely lines and colors,
and that, given time, we eventually
| accept the best that is offered to US.
In reverting to this older type of
dress I can frankly say I am glad of
the change, not that like change
merely because it means novelty, but
because I welcome it when it stands
for esthetic development. And so 1
say very emphatically that I do like
the Paquin skirt; that hope, though
cannot prophesy, that it will have a
long-lived vogue. Paquin has adopted
it, and Paquin leads Paris as Paris
leads the world. You and follow, but
! not, I hope, like poor stupid sheep.
Examine it for yourself, and if any,
thing I can say helps you to view it
more intelligently and more appre-
ciatively, we'll and good. But if your
taste and judgment reject it, my dear
madame. remember that you have
quite as good a right to your opinion
as l have to mine. Indeed, I have an
honest contempt for the woman who
will adopt fashion merely because it
is fashionable and decry it as hideous,
unsightly, impossible.

the irony Of fate. Amy, you'll have to
write to Aunt Reliance"
what am I to write her? How
can excuse my folly?"
At last an idea dawned upon Amy
after fortnight of anxious thought
She wrote to Aunt Reliance, asking if
she would sell the vase and teapot.
The answer came two weeks later,
while they were all at breakfast.
Gertrude fastened to read the i'm,
portant document aloud. Aunt Reli-
ance, while expressing appreciation of
Amy's very natural desire to possess
the teapot and vase, positively refused
to sell them; she would, she said, as
soon think of selling her grandfather's
bones, and wondered that Amy could
have thought her so lacking in respect
for her ancestors. She announced, in
conclusion, that having found the eli
mate of California beneficial to her
health, she had decided to remain
there permanently, and would soon
send for the box they had so kindly
stored for her.
What Amy suffered mentally dur.
ing the next six weeks is best left to
the imagination.
She lost her appetite, grew pale and
thin, and was SO respondent and irri-
table, that Gertrude became anxious
about her.
"This vase-teapot trouble must
come to an end" Gertrude said, one
morning, as she sat sewing in the sit
ting room, and glanced up to see Amy
gazing idly from the window. IF you
don't write to Aunt Reliance. I will.
She must know it anyhow, when we
send the box, and what is the use of
waiting?"
There's the carrier now" said
Amy, listlessly, and walked slowly out
into the hall, closing the door after
her.
Five minutes passed, and she had
not returned. Gertrude, growing anx-
1ous, put down her sewing. and went
out into the hall, half-expecting to
see her sister in a swoon on the floor
But Amy was standing by the hat
rack, her eyes shining and a flush on
her cheeks.
Saved! Saved by a miracle!" she
cried, as she waved a letter above
her head. Read this, Gertrude.
and"
"Tell me-" interrupted Gertrude i'm
patiently.
"Well, our blessed great-aunt wants
her box sent at once, and says she
makes me present of the vase and
teapot as a return for my trouble in
sending it, and she hopes that nv ad-
miration for these precious heirlooms
Is sufficiently great to cause me to
preserve them with sacred care and
hand them down to future genera
tions."
1T seems to good to be true!" cried
Gertrude. sinking down upon one Of
the hall chairs. ~

"The Lieutenant and the Cow boy
the new western military drama, which
comes to the Armory next Tuesday
night, should not be confounded with
the ordinary clap-trap melodrama, for
this is play of sterling worth and is
presented by an extremely capable com
pany, headed by the eminent young
western actor, Mr. Theodore Lorch.
No better play can possibly be offered
Blackfoot theatre goers this season, for
the simple reason that nothing superior
has been written. "The Lieutenant and
the Cowboy" is a tense, heart thrilling
drama of the west. 1t combines the
elements of both tragedy and comedy,
but so sanely blended that the complete
story clings in ones mind long after the
performers are forgotten. 1t is by no
means "gun" play, but two shots being

SUGAR KING HERE

! Thomas R. Cutler, general manager
for seven sugar factories in Utah and
Idaho, was here Saturday in company
with Heber Austin, general agricultur-
ist for the Idaho factories, and e. A
Bessey of the Department of Agricul-
ture.
When questioned rs to the beet in
dustry, Mr.. Cutler said: "Well it is
slow. We have some hard problems to
cope with. | suppose it is so in all busi-
ness, but this business is a struggle all
the time. Our worst difficulty now is
two or three difficulties. The coal ques-
tion is serious one. 1t comes high,
and we are not sure Of getting it even
when We pay the high price, and if we
should have to close factories for want
OF coal during the campaign it would be
great loss. Then it is hard to get
proper help. Wages are high, and no
matter how much we pay, we still have
to teach our help how to do their parts.
and after they become competent, they
can leave and find other employment a
great deal quicker than we can find
other help and teach each individual
his part Then there is the market;
not everybody wants to use beet sugar,
and the factories on the coast are bound
to sell their product, and that compels
US to ship east
81 am going out to look over the beet |
fields all thru the valley to see just
what condition the crop is in"
Mr.. Bessey, the agriculurst, said he
was out looking for diseases of crops,
and especially those which attack sugar
beets and potatoes. He said the disease
that leaves potatoes hecked with black
specKs can be removed by immersing
the seed potatoes before cutting, in a
of kprmaldyhide, and that it is
best not to plant on the old potato
ground, as It stays in the soil. Alfalfa
also breeds the same fungus, and 1t is
not very safe to follow alfalfa with po-
tatoes. The crop, he says, is very light
in some localities where be has been,
but he had not visited the Greeley dis
trict and had no reports from there.

The Biackfoot Fair.

| The fair this week has been a very
successful one, and in point of attend
ance was much greater than last year,
the gate receipts being far greater from
the first. The exhibits of fruits and
vegetables have been better at some of
the earlier fairs, the changeable wealth
er having done much to impair the
beauty and reduce the size of products
this year. However, the space usually
devoted to these things, was we'll occu.
pied, and the thanks of the country at
large are do to those who brot in their
products in these busy times.
The exhibit of live stock and poultry
was the best we have ever had, both in
quantity and quality, and there is evi
dence that many people are taking a
lively interest in better stock, and are
getting starti in it, much to their own
advantage and profit.
The school exhibit this year was very
good indeed, and the needle work, which
some feared might not be we'll repre-
sented, was one of the important fea-
lures of Floral Hall. A very fine col
lection of flowers, booth of Princess
incubators, Matching chickens under
the gaze of visitors, all merited full
share of attention.
The c. w. & M. Company had an ex-
hibit of engines and cream separators,
Boyle Bros, an exhibit OF plumbing,
Biethan, an exhibit of furniture, Leo
Henlsh an exhibit OF his own make Of
harness, another firm was showing fan
ming mills, and there were many shows
of various kinds scattered about the
grounds and the streets.
We do not attempt to give detailed
account of exhibits nor of premiums
awarded this week, but will give what
ever is obtainable from the records of
the superntendents of departments
next week.

Receptions in General

Wear not much accustomed to re-
ceptions, all of US. Most of us are just
good working people, the best on earth,
and although we may have lived while
in Washington, d. c., or been educated
in some school of repown, or visited
with relatives in some of the big cities
and seen others from the car window
while passing thru. yet our means and
our time have generally been pretty
we'll occupied and we are not up to the
exact scratch on big social functions.
We know that it is proper to be pre-
sented to the guests of honor and say
some polite things and be really agree.

a short time with different ones, to pay
our respects to the host and hostess and

it takes practice to be able to do it
nicely.

The Teachers Regret

The teachers who were tardy at the
reception two weeks ago, regret their
tardiness, and regret also that we lald
the whole joke on their shoulders. A
number of them were informed by
people who have lived here year or
two, that date of o'clock, with Black
foot people means $50, and that s
o'clock means S:45 to 900, so they
discounted the hour the usual amount
and went ten minutes early. The way
it worked out shows how badly our
people may be mis.represented some
times or how beautifully they can re
deem themselves when some good work
causes them to rise to the occasion.

Great Idaho Land Sale
(GOODWIN'S WEEKLY

UOODWIN'S WEEKLY
There was marvellous sale Of land by
the state of Idaho last Monday. The
land lies along the canal Of the Ameri-
can Falls Land & Power company. In
deed it was about the biggest sale, at
least IN one respect, ever made. The
land was appraised at so and Sl2 per
acre, and some of it sold for $40 per
acre without any water right attached.
1t is the biggest advertisement that
Idaho lands ever received. 1t makes
good the Idaho claim that people can
get back from the lands they purchase
there the whole cost il, two years.
After live years the return annually
equals the original cost Of the land and

Night School for Men.

The School Board of Blackfoot has
once more shown its interest in the ed
ucation of the people of this town. AT
the last meeting of the Board the mem
bers voted unanimously to open a free
evening school for all young men who
work and are over the age Of eighteen.
A better chance to make up lost time
Or to prepare oneself little better for
life's work can not be found. In the
eastern cities similar schools are
crowded to their capacity with students
ranging in age from sixteen to sixty
years. Any young man who is ambi-
tious for the future should take advan-
tage OF this opportunity. All, who thru
necessity or carelessness, find them
selves without sufficient education
should enroll in this school the first
night
The course this year will consist of
writing, reading, arithmetic, such as is
used in business life, composition and
grammar, and bookkeeping. Whether
YOU are i; clerk or farmer, such tram
ing is necessary for you. Encourage
those who have your welfare at heart
by accepting this opportunity. Don't
wait to begin until you see chow it is
coming OUT for that Is too late.
