A Blue Bedspread.

India print enters largely into th'
decorators scheme for summer o
tages. With willow furniture and pat
termed chintz has come the demand
for quaint bedspreads and in many
country homes they are made OF
chintz to match the long window hang
ings. Where white curtains have
been chosen and where other lowered
surfaces have been avoided, the bed
spread OF blue and white India print
will give an air of distinction to the
entire room. This material is de-
lightfully cool in weight and in finish
and is one of the best known tub ma
terials. 1t has been known to wash
for 20 years without loss of color; but
why should not the far-famed dyes of
the orient outlast our later efforts?

A House PARTY.


Invitations TO this party were sent
a snapshot of the hostess new home.
1t was a delightful affair, with unique
touches that a clever entertainer al
ways contriyes to give her little par
ties, 10 matter how informal.
After the dozen chosen friends had
arrived and duly admired the coy
porch with its furnishings of green,
the maid appeared with cold beverages,
which the hostess poured; then she
told them she wanted their very best
ideas regarding house building; that
for the two best plans there were
prizes.
Paper and pencils were passed and
e half hour allotted for the architects
to turn in their creations. The result
was delightful. Each one was allowed
five minutes to explain the merits OF
her plan. Some remarkably clever
ideas were developed and much UNI
suspected talent revealed. The prizes
were subscriptions to w~ell.known mag
aZines devoted to household affairs.
and the favors were tiny wooden Jap.
anese houses filled with bonbons. For
refreshments there were canteloupes
filled with New York ice cream. iced
tea and dainty English biscuit.
In a week or two this same hostess
will entertain the same people, and
they will furnish" the houses planned
at this party.
1t may be readily seen how delight
full this exchange of ideas is and how
alert It keeps one In observing the
best arrangement Of all rooms. The
making of a real home should be the
highest aim of every woman BY
that, ! mean a home where the =cads
Of each individual are looked out for
with the best effect possible.

COLLEGE BOY COMPLIMENTED
II. r.. Goldsworthy. Graduate of Wash
ington State College, Popular
at Davenport

The last issue of the Davenport
Tribune contained an article highly
complimentary to H. +. Goldsworthy,
graduate of Washington State Col
lege, department of agriculture Mr..
Goldsworthy was employed by the
Davenport high school to teach agri-
cuit.rc in that institution that being
the first school in Washington to es-
tabHsh course in agriculture with
its loguar courses. The Tribune
says:
Last Friady morning e. e. Flood
head manager of the Broad View
Dairy Co., the largest dairy in Spo-
kane called at the Tribune office
and subscribed for this paper. Mr..
Flood was out in this part of the
country securing milch COWS for his
large dairy. 1t will be remembered,
that te bought the entire dairy stock
when Mr.. Stevens, south of town,
closed out his business last spring
Mr.. Flood stated the COWS and horses
of this section are the best of any
territory he covers in the state
In speaking of Mr.. Goldsworthy, his
| foreman on their model dairy farm
near Rosalia, he said they were very
IL uth pleased with his work and abil-
| ity and that it was to be regretted
that a man of Mr.. Goldsworthy abil-
| ity could not be kept in the school
room, but while the educational
world paid less wages for first class
instruction than a good dairym an
gets, it would always be the case
" 1t will be remembered that Mr.
Goldsworthy had charge of the agri-
ctlr,la al department of the Daven-
port high school last year and altho
the entire community were a unit
for his retention, the school board
could not offer enough to hold him,
much as they wished to do. When
will the world learn to measure in
the proper standard the value Of a
man OF woman who by nature and
preparation is fitted to mould tie
character and lives of the future
agents of our governments"
