Tobacco Brown Linen.
For the little women as we'll as those
who have attained full growth and pre-
sumably the age Of discretion there is
no color or material at the moment that

There are two ways of renewing or

the regular laundry method.

Moreover, that a washable frock is in

reason for indulgence.
Worsteds Are Practical.
With the first chill winds of autumn
the cotton plaid frock Is discarded for
the mohair or worsted, which, however.
is not infrequently it's exact counterpart
in coloring and design. Such dresses, If
not cut In one piece. are built in two sec
tons and then 50 joined that they may
be put on as one. This is because the
frocks belonging to the average school
girl, Of whatever age save that verging on
the debutante period, invariably show a
tendency to divorce themselves at the
waist line, and this despite the strongly
sewed on buttons and the row of heavy
hooks which are supposed to keep them
together. Consequently, the dressmakers
who work exclusively for the younger
set have come to the conclusion that the
only safe way to avoid such notifications
is to have the plain little skirt side or
box plated onto the wide waistband
which. supports the blouse. This portion
of the attire usually carries more or less
trimming. according to the age and pro-

of dark blue serge holds its own against
all rivals. The reason for this is NOT

Possibilities Of Mohair.
An eminently practical material which
may quite properly be used the year
round for school. travelling and general
wear is nlohair. This now comes in any
number Of charming patterns and girlish
colors. 1t has certain sickness OF
texture which is sure to delight the
youthful wearer of it, inasmuch as it is
closely allied TO that silken frock for
which she is liable to vainly sigh for
several years to come. The mohairs. like
the washable white frocks and the gins-
hams of every type of material. are
quite simply made up, always with alb
breviated,, untrinmed skirts and usually
with jumper or blouse waists the latter
fitted with ,pique dickeys and nautical
scarf similar to those worn by the small
boy.
Shepherd Plaid Suits.
The vogue Of the shepherd plaid suits
has extended almost to the nursery doors.
for the clean-looking combination, so sug-
gestive of GOODNESS and freshness, ap-
peals strongly to mothers Of small daugh-
ters prone to have accidents happen to
their wardrobes. 1t Is rather remark
able, but nevertheless a fact. that In
almost any material the shepherd plaid
will wash satisfactorily. Consequently.
there is nothing in the dry goods uni
verse-so say the mothers who have had
their trials and disappointment In the
matter of providing hard wearing and
suitable school garments-that has SO
many firm friends as has the shepherd S
plaid This, of course, is not always Of
the two widely contrasting colors. Often
dark blue green or brown are used In
stead of black with white. but there is
small difference in the size of the checks
or in the general appearance.

VII VI the appearance
NH of a small girls costume is
uVu due to the shape and style
of her headgear Quite as
much care should be devoted
TO this detail as to frock. coat. boots or
guimpes, but at the same time II should
be of the simplest possible type and with
a marked absence of exaggerated effects.
The latter tendency is apt to develop in
the schoolgirls hat which is not carefully
chosen.
For the earliest days of autumn. when
the rough straw of midsummer has be-
come just bit battered and faded. but
the weather IS still warm for a felt there
are canvas and fabric shapes which are
exceedingly pretty in white and mole
shades They have rather square crowns
and the wide brims of the sailor, but
carry no trimming beyond an ornamental
band which in some cas-s may bear the
name of private yacht or a warship
This. however. Is only permitted to quite
small girls who wear the hoyish sailor
blouse with its accompanying broad col
lar. white dckey and wide necktie.
Some OF the French felts are exceeding
~ light and come in every shade of
likely to be made. These shapes are
distinguished for their Stiffness of tex
ture and their fiexibility, so that if the
fiaring brim be not becoming when tilted
sharply upward from the wearer's face
II may be caught pat the sides or even
at the back. Often to tilt brim at
the back is advisable. for the child

CANDIDATE FOR ASSESSOR
N. M. Mackey a Popular Man on
the MinidOka Tract

M. M. Mackey, the republican candi-
date for county assessor, is one of the
leading business men in the east end of
the county, where he is well known and
extremely popular, although he is a
comparative stranger to the west end.
He went, to Rupert from St. Anthony
three years ago and has spent $12, 900
to SIS, 900 in various enterprises con-
nected with the development of that
section. Among these enterprises is a
telephone system which completely COW
ers the Minidoka tract and which was
built entirely by Mr.. Mackey. He has
had wide experience in business affairs,
having engaged in the mercantile bust
ness and also delt extensively in land
His experience along these lines, and
his natural shrewdness in business mat
ters fit him admirably for the office for
which he aspires. At present Mr.
Mackey is chairman of the village board
of trustees at Rupert and is always
among the foremost supporters OF any
for the advancement of the
Minidoka tract. He is worthy of the I
support of all classes
