The building was packed and the
sentiment of the meeting was to ad-
voeate strongly much work at the
coming legislature, including the
presentation of measures giving such
places as Toppenish a chance to vote
for local option.
Sentiment among men of this town
is toward a dry Toppenish. The
meeting was largely similar to that
held by Yakima fruitgrowers and
farmers at North Yakima a short
time ago, and it is stated by business
men here that a joint movement
would be given the hearty support OF
Toppenish people.

the day when the horse interests Of

most able of all horsemen of the

A noticeable snugness and trigness Is the hallmark of many of the smart est tub gowns.

Honor to Whom Honor Is Due

In the great Mass meeting held in Jackson Mississippi on Jan. 9th Rev, w. c. Lowrey D. D.. the chairman said:
 "A bright streak on the ocean S cheek tells of the coming dawn: l believe the state was created for great purpose, but it can never be realized so long as the saloon remains within her bor- ders.
 Never before was there such hope for the coming of the dawn for the grand old state of Missis- sippi.
 Those in this assembly have longed for this day, have worked for 1t in season and out of sea- son for many years; but the world will never know what a debt of gratitude it owes to the w. c. T. U. While men have of ten been badly discouraged, the women have never lost heart, but have continued to work and to pray and to suffer, and have refused to accept defeat. I con- graduate them that success is now assured; the men of the state have come over to them. !"

For evening wear nothing is prettier than the thin silks and organdies which may be worn through the sum- mer. There Is no evidence of the simple muslin gown" In the models from which we are supposed to take our cue. They are trimmed as elab- orately as may be, still keeping the lines of those already mentioned. A charming marQuisette costume of palest blue consists of skirt in which the front panel and flounce are cut in one piece. Bands of lace insertion outline the panel and the founce has a band of insertion around the bot
 tom, with 8 graceful design in hand embroidery above it and extending half way up the front panel. Oval in- serts of crosswise tucking. overlaid with bands of insertion put on in conventional figures, make up the fanciful bodice and short, puffed sleeves, and a band of velvet ribbon several shades darker than the mar quisette runs up over the shoulders un- derneath the girdle and down to the top of the fiounce, which it meets under meath rosettes of chiffon. There is gathered semi-yoke inside the bodice which rounds out the decollete neck.
