FOR AN ALL-BLACK COSTUME
Always Well to Have One for Genuine
Service, and Here Is a Splen-
did Model.

There is quite a return to the once
popular fashion of having a black frock
for genuine service. Every woman,
even with an elaborate wardrobe,
knows there are some hours when
everything seems to be in need of
cleaning or mending.
For just such occasions she has a
smart one-piece frock of black hang
ing in the closet 1t is made of fine
silk voile, for there has been found
no better fabric for this purpose. 1t
| fits the figure, has an added belt of
| patent leather run through slides of
| watered silk, and is fastened down
| the back with hooks and eyes.
| The skirt clears the groun by two
inches and has hem of black wa
or three-quarter length. Each woman
is in a go-as-you-please race concern
ing sleeves, and knows she is in the
fashion as long as she keeps them
small.
The top of this frock is laid in
small folds from shoulder to belt, has
a round yoke of black chiffon cloth
covered with silk soutache braiding
in Egyptian design and a shallow up
per yoke of that heavy Venetian lace
that wears so well.
This lace is repeated in narrow
pear-shaped armhole that runs half
way to the waist, and the black sleeves
have wide band of it around the
middle.

hat and patent leather shoes, any WON.

Petticoats for Babies.

Tiny little sleeves with tiny little
arms, but the latter always slipping
out of the former, make the petticoat
great nuisance to the mother, and
for this reason the princess, which
simply slips over the head and but
tons at the shoulders, is preferred by
many. The only opening in the gar
ment is at the shoulders, where lit
tie button and buttonhole are all that
is needed to keep the narrow straps
together. The new baby's petticoat
affords no elusive armhole for the
struggling arms, which are almost
bound to go the wrong way.

NEGROES FOR
Y. FRENCH ARMY
Continued from first page)

a military journal, Colonel Mangin
adds that the American civil war
proved this over and over again,
and that if degeneracy of the
black race has been shown in in
tellectual pursuits, certainly this
has not been the case where the
bugle was sounding the charge.
''ln France, where we make DO
differences, social or otherwise,
because of the color of the skim"
said Colonel Mangin, the Negro
always has developed rapidly. If
he has a special love for show and
a melodramic desire to figure amid
moving surroundings, no blame
attaches to him. That is merely
one of the qualities of his race,
marking him as we are marked by
other peculiarities.
II say, let the American Negro
or his comrades anywhere else who
are suffering from neglect or in
human distinction come to France
and join our colored army. Here
he will find a welcome, an ade-
quate living. a field for his pecul-
lar abilities and great chances for
the future"
The subject is receiving much
attention in France, because of the
supplementary plan to join this
army and the Arab troops trained
under the same conscription sys-
TEN. Algiers would provide 100,
600 men, so that in case of war
France could count on being able
to land 100000 men on its own
shores within twenty four hours.
To avoid the danger of keeping so
many trained Arabs together in
time of peace, the idea is to sepa.
rate them by sending detachments
to various points in the French
West African possessions.
1t is estimated that the cost of
the Negro army will be $4,000,
600 year and that of the Arab
army $9,000,O0O, but if this will
help in great measure to solve
the military situation of France, it
is considered that these amounts
will not be too large to pay.

In Pastel CoIors.

Plain materials are much easier OF
construction than are those of striped
barred and flowered material. Per
haps it is this that has made the deli
cate pastelcolored batiste a favorite
with the home dressmaker.
The fact remains that many of the
more expensive sheer linen models in
these delicate tones are copied by the
amateur in the less expensive ba
tiste.
A favored method of finishing the
batiste frock is the basting together
of its various parts and the holding
of them in place by very close and
even Misunderstanding.

Mercurlal Lotion.

The application of mercurial lotion
will sometimes remove pimple scars
1t is very strong, and must be used
with great care. 1t is best to have
a chemist do the mixing. The formu
la is ten grains of corrosive sublimate
in half pint each of distilled and
rose water. A little is applied to the
skin, letting it dry on. Night and
morning is sufficiently often, omittine
after few days and again using. 1t
is poisonous if taken internally, and is
a strong bleach.

FrilIs of Footinu.

Plated frills of white tulle footing
are much in evidence on pretty blouses
of colored foulard. They are intend
ed, it is true, to be worn with the sep
arate skirt, but the colors should
match, thus making the dress at least
harmonious, if not a true example of
the one-piece frock.
The footing frill usually is edged
with little strip of straight or bias
silk like the blouse, and it's covered
buttons and small bow tie are of plain
foulard to match the general color
scheme.

informs us that he will soon move
his family to Lewiston where
they will reside in future. Dur

to be a thorough business man,
careful, conservative and abso-

line near Cottonwood" said State
Senator A. L. Freehafer of Wash

in the city yesterday as member
of the legislative committee sent
north to visit the state institu-
tons.
This line was extended a dis
lance of Is miles last year from
Council to Evergreen, and a fur
Ither extension of 16 miles from
Evergreen to Salmon meadows
will be made this season. With
the completion of the road to the
Grangeville line, Idaho will then
be supplied with a north-and-
south road and one that will tap
rich and fertile country for the
entire distance.

The time is rapidly approach
ing when another city election
will be called to elect a new board
of trustees to manage the affairs
of this place. 1t is to be hoped
that the citizens will use their
best judgement in selecting the
council this spring and will elect
men who have the welfare and
advancement of the town at
heart and who can work in unity
with each other. One or two
men on a board who pull back
can offset the best endeavors of
the other members and then
nothing can be accomplished.
Our town is now at an age when
it should be pushed forward and
developed in every way consist
ent with its resources and much
of its success depends on the men
who manage its affairs. Let the
board this year be composed of
the best men who can be chosen
and all will be we'll.
