OF which bordered the band OF panne
at the top The bolero fastened across
the front with a trimming of black silk
braid and tiny buttons, and is bor-
dered all round by n band OF panne
striped with braid. as on the skirt.
The sleeves, which reach half way
between elbow and wrist have a SINH
lar trimming Of panne and braid with
buttons at the back, and the severity
of the little coat is relieved by hang
ing motifs of the blaick braid in front.
The smart military collar of blue
panne is finished at each side by a
touch of Oriental embroidery in green
and mauve, relieved by tiny gold
cord.
The second costume pictured is oe
petunia cloth, and, as will be seen,
the skirt is perfectly plain, except for
the panel effect in front given by
line at either side of narrow velvet
buttons. There is line of the same
velvet round the bottom of the skirt,
above several rows of narrow tucks
in the cloth, which gives a finish to
the skirt without detracting from the
desired effect OF simplicity. The cloth
bodice is somewhat fall, and falls over
deep draped belt of petunia silk; 1t
opens in front TO show vest of white
lace Of a most original kind, with
raised flowers IN high relief The
fronts OF the bodice are ornamented
with velvet buttons, which also adorn
the full cloth sleeves to the elbow.
where the beautiful lace is again
shown, as 1t is in the cuff, which comes
well below the elbow and is edged
with a band Of velvet. A narrow
band of the same velvet edges the
high collarband of lace, and is most
becoming in its effect against the skin.
To go with this charming gown is
hat of petunia velvet, the brim very
wide at one side, where 1t is turned
up with an enormous bow of satin rib
bon, while velvet roses In all shades
Of petunia and tulle adorn the wide
crown.

Skagway, the termination OF the in
land passage. was reached on a Sun
day In August
Skagway resembles Juneau In the
character Of It's rough frame build
ings. but there are fewer indications
of wOman's taste. One good stone
building attracted our attention. We
were particularly struck with the evi-
dence OF precaution against fire. OF
which there is a great dread In Alas
kan towns. There is an army post
here and the soldiers have acted as
firemen very efficiently in many in.
stances. We attended the Episcopal
service, which was held in a small
room over a store in one OF the rough
buildings peculiar to Alaska. There
were about 30 persons in the congre-
cation. A small parlor organ was
very we'll played by a Minneapolis
woman. a teacher OF music in the
town, and the choir consisted Of four
/ persons.

were made known to the world by the
misery resulting from the rush
through them when gold discoveries
were first made in the Klondike re-
gion. AS the White pass was selected
for the railway, Skagway steadily
grows.

A Point 20 Remember,

One of the main points to be record
ed in relation to smart outer garments,
whether they be the wrap proper or
short tailored coat, is that the short
sleeve is on tbs wane. Three-quarter
and full-length effects are growing
more conspicuous daily, being hand
somely finished with cuffs of their own
or contrasting material.

The ever vexatlous servant question
Is naturally more acute in Alaska than
elsewhere. Wages vary with ones
ability to pay. The wife of an army
officer stationed at Fort Egbert, who
had brought in Japanese cook, under
contract at $75 a month. was forced
to part with him at the end Of a few
weeks, as he was offered $125 a
month. The wives of the officers at
Skagway were doing their own work,
having also lost for higher wages the
servants they had brought to Alaska
with them. But no hardship or diff
culties seem TO deter the American
woman, particularly of the army. from
what seems to be her place and duty.
There is scarcely a camp in Alaska,
however remote or unpromising, that
is not graced by the presence Of re-
fined women

Late on the third day we reach
Juneau, opposite which is Douglas is
land and the great Treadwell gold
mine. 1t is remarkable that the larg-
est stamp mill in the world should be
found in this wild. An act of con-
gress made Juneau the capital :. of
Alaska. The town is built on the side
of hill so steep that the houses seem
to be hanging from It. Back Of this
rises a sharp range of higher hills
that form a barrier protecting the
town from the frequent snow ava
lanches Of the great mountains, which,
in turn, rise perpendicularly behind
this natural wall.
AS illustrating the weather OF Ju-
neau, it is said that an old Indian
woman, on being asked II 1t always
rained in Juneau, after a moments
hesitation, replied: Sometimes It

the harbor, but we were not deferred

evidence Of woman's hand in the pot

the women and children whom we
saw surprised me by being quite like
| those one would meet in any small
western town. A few Indian women
were selling curios, among which bas-
kets were the exception. The native
women are retrograding in basket
making They have largely discarded
the vegetable dyes, which produce the
tender, mellow tints for which Alas
kan baskets were formerly noted, for
the anillne dyes with their crude,
bright colors. The supply of local bas-
kets does not equal the demand and
many are imported from the United
States. to be brought back by trav-

Schools of the City

The most urgent need of the school
department is some provision where
by il may keep up with the growth of
the city. School facilities must be
provided for every child of school age.
This is not a matter for choice on the
part of the municipality. Somehow
or other Los Angeles must make IL
possible for every 1hild within it's linn
its 10 attend a public school for a full
session each day during the school
year To do this more schools are need
ed. and land on which 10 build them.
The school department has outgrown
It's equipment every year for the past
ten years, and as yet no provision
has been made for this regular annual
increase in our school population.
Some time ago a bond issue was
voted for the relief of the schools. 1t
has all been converted into school
grounds and school buildings. and the
school department Is in almost as. great
need now as it was at the time the
bonds were voted. II is evident that
the regular annual 10 per cent increase
in the growth OF the school popula-
tion of the city requires an annual
building fund equally regular I'm its
appearance 10 meet II. The regular
rate OF increase for some years has
been $500 or more. With a maximum
OF nifty pupils to one teacher this
means that not less than seventy new
school rooms are required annually

is not possible TO provide an education
for these boys and girls unless the

Civil Service

One of the United States civil service
commissioners is the authority for the
statement that the civil service depart
ment of this city s the most effective
municipal civil service in the United
States. Considering that th,s depart
ment has been in operation only four
years Los Angeles has rea son to feel
pround. This department is now ac-
cepted in good faith by the entire ad-
ministrative force. With judicious and
practical examinations to determine
the fitness OF applicants, ana a careful
regulation of employees 10 insure eff.

greatly benefited. At the same time
