Radical changes in styles
for the coming season are
not anticipated. The most
notable features cleaned
from most reliable sources
follow:
\ majority Of the new
waists are quite elaborate.
while the skirts are sim
pie. The popularity OF the
loose, square kimona sleeve
amounts to a positive
craze, the same may be
said Of the dropping shou'.
ders with sleeves cut I'm
one with the waist. White
lace undersleeves matching
the yoke are u very prom.
inent feature. Among the
cloths In most demand I'm the
East are Linens and Mer.

This is going to be a
great season for stripes
and checks-almost all the
new goods are figured in
some variation Of the check
or stripe.
The new collars and neck
finishes are somewhat Wild

TO SAVE RESOURCES.
Natural Wealth of Country-Meet-
ing Early in May.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. Is
President Roosevelt has invited the gov
ernors of ali the states and territories
10, II and 10, next, to discuss the Ques-
ton of means to conserve the natural re-
sources of the country. Invitations also
are to be extended to the members of
both houses of Congress and to the in
land waterways commission. The i'm
portancs and manner in which the sub.
ject is to be considered are indicated III
the Presidents letter to the governors,
which has been made public ut the white
house. The letters says i'll part:
1T is evident the abundant natural re-
sources on which the welfare of this
nation rests are becoming depleted. ami,
in not few eases, are already exhaust
ed. This is true of all portions of the
United States; II Is especially true of the
longer settled communities of the east.
The gravity of the situation must, |
believe, appeal with special force To the
governors of the states, because of their
close relations to the people and the re-.
sponsibility for the welfare of their com
munitics. | have therefore decided in
accordance with the suggestion of the
inland waterways commission, to ask
the governors of the states and territOr-
les to meet at the white house on May
49, II and 10 to confer with the Prcsl-
dent and with each other upon the con-
servation of natural resources.
1T gives me great pleasure to invite
you to take part in the conference. |
should be glad to have you select three
citizens to accompany you and to at
tend the conference as your assistants or
advisers"
