school for Teaching
English to Aliens.

Miss Margaret Stasal returned
Saturday from months visit III San
Francisco. On Monday she started
the school to instruct the foreign
element who choose to take advantage
of the opportunity in the rudiments
of the English language. 1t was in
tended if the pupils enrolled would
justify to hire room IN the central
part of town IN which to hold the
school. But the attendance so far
has not justified this expense. The
school is held at present at the Stasal
residence, on Church street. 1t is
hoped that the attendance will in
crease, as it certainly should. The
movement appeals to the saif-interest
of that class unable to speak the Eng
llsh language. They have an oppor-
tunity at trlding cost to learn the
language of this country, where they
expect to make their living, and
thereby qualify themselves to become
American citizens, as we'll as to he
come more competent workmen
whether IN the mines or elsehere.
A promised attendance of at least
twenty was looked for as a starter,
but the number of pupils so far has
fallen much below those figures.

CoLored Handkerchiefs

For women who like an occasional
departure from the snowy field Of white

in which colors appear IN new form.

of pure white linen, but it is valuable in
adding color 10 ones frO.k or in con-

There there is a white kerchief with

is a broader contrasting band than has
appeared in other seasons. This idea is

has confined her selections to the plain
white counter must have an iron WI.
