saw the specimens before shipment to
Seattle were highly pleased with the
work done by Mr.. Wight and by the
fair comm ;SSiOnerS.
Now that rival counties concede
Walla Walla to have one of the best
displays at the fair, those who were
interested in the work of preparing the
collection feel their labors were not in
vain, and residents of Walla Walla in
terested in the publicity movement are
of the opinion the A.-Y.-P. showing
from this county will bring direct and
immediate results in the way of caus-
ing prospective homeseekers to visit
this section before returning to the
east or deciding to locate in any other
section of the Pacific northwest.

With the temperature at SO degrees
yesterday afternoon at o'clock, one
of the heaviest doWnpours of rain re-
corded for, months fell in this valley
and in the space of about Is min
utes over one-quarter of an inch OF
rain was reported. Accompanying the
rain was a heavy wind storm, which
though doing no serious damage WIS
the cause of numerous small trees in
the city being blown over. The
thermometer also fell IS degrees While
the storm was in progress.
That no damage has been done to
the growing grain as was first anti
cipated, is now assured, but owing to
the force with which the rain poured
down, it was thought at first that the
tall heavy growths would be leveled.
At CLYDE station the highest temp
erature was reported, the mercury
reaching as high as 104 degrees.
Reports from the various sections OF
this valley are to the effect that
light rain occurred generally yester-

peals of thunder. Lightning played
havoc with telephones and wires in
all parts of the city while the cleo

Just at the present writing the shop

able kind of light-colored socks-the

and tans of all descriptions. pale coffee

like. Most of these strange offerings

likely, however, that unoffending cfti-

vision of these extraordinary stockings

men seem to affect some very strange

most brilliant shades of socks, usually

in foreign literature for the present.
ment of all those psychological phases
and developments which from time to
time mark h so-cailed progress of
the human race towards social decad-
ence
OF the latest OF these we have a most
interesting example in a o called
Les Cervelines," by a new French
writer, Colette Yver, who brings us face
to face with the problemIof the evolu-
ton of a new type, one might even say
of a new sex, If 1t were not for the fact
hat absence of sex is undoubtedly its
chief characteristic. 1t has remained
for the woman of the twentieth century
to deny herself love, marriage and
motherhood for the development of her
mentality. :,
In Les Cervelines'' the two women
with whom it deals pass along the
street on the first page Of the book
Marceline Rhonans, a charming bru-
nette and a popular historical lecturer,
and Jeanne Boerk, the clinical assist
ant of the house surgeon at the hos
pital. Their friendship is one of physi-
cal contrast and 1~ksnenta1 affinity.
Jeanne, of Flemish extraction, is big
and blonde. with her hands ever on her
hips and her susceptibilities unaffected
by the most CHASTITY operations. Mar
celine, on the other hand, high-strung,
acutely sensitive to every emotion, Is q
modern Hypatia of the platform, car
ried away by enfhusiasms. and yet
curbing them with that restrained, al
most mathematical precision which this
type of m Invariably seems to as
sumo as an arfnor of defense.
The novel Is devoted to the descrip-
tion of the efforts of two doctors to win
their love. From the beginning one
feels that 1t is all fruitless. The atti-
tude towards matrimony of Jeanne,
whose whole interest in life is eentered
on baecili, which she c~ultivates and
watches over with maternal solicltude,
Is one of amused contempt. All through
the women seem to be saying to the
men: why not be good friends with
us? Let lis be comrades at work and
over the coffee cup, but leave us to de-
vote our lives to our professions" This,
indeed. is the keynote to their lives.
Even Marceline. who suecumbs to the
extent of becoming engaged to Jean.
cannot bring herself t. marry him. She
wishes to be complete" and com
pleteness" she finds easier without the
burden OF a husband or children. She
loves him. but she gives him up, be-
cause she feels he will interfere with
her intellectual existence. Love seems
to her too fragile a thing to exchange
for historical research. and In the
feverish passion for extinct races which
ievours her soul she u her
owe and restores her mental equil.b-
rum by writing a history of Tyre.
Apart from the n~arvelously subtle
delineation of the two women's char
acters the book is interesting IL only
for showing abe trend of femininism,
